  1. I think Grant has been a bit off since the fresh air swipe against Motherwell, which has to be forgotten. If Gordon Ramsey was on here he would say grow some f***ing balls man, get out there, show them why your the captain, show them who has the balls to be in charge of the team.
  2. Lional ?? Think you should check the Aberdeen highlights on the web. The one that he cleared behind for a corner would have ended up in the back of the net if Hastings was in that position. I don't want to start slagging off players but Hastings would have been out muscled.
  3. I'd have thought Bristol would be the nearer Maybe I can enlighten you there guys, the term Gashead is used as a nick name for Bristol Rovers fans, myself one being my home town club, it derives from the days when Rovers played at Eastville Stadium, behind the stadium was the gas works. So to hear that another Gashead also follows the fortunes of Caley is good news, would be interesting to know where you get to at the Mem Gashead, assuming you do, I have been known to wear my ICT shirts in the ground & club house after the match. Fancy a game of call my bluff. Gashead Gashead is is a term used for people who used to divert town gas, (which was produced from coal) through a pipe into water and drink it to get a good head on.
  4. How do you pronounce Morais? Ive heard various commentators pronouncing all differently, Ive asked someone Portuguese how to pronounce and was told that 'a' becomes an 'i' and the 'is' would become shh More importantly how would Filipe Morais like his name pronounced?
  5. Will we get a cut if Don is sold on.
  6. AFC erse licker, did he dedicate ballerina girl, to Darren Mackie.
  7. Eat a pie, drink some bovril and talk football to the people sitting next to you. Then I leave the house and go off to the match. How about an Inverness wave, its similar to the Mexican wave but instead, at halftime everyone stands up for about 15 minutes.
  8. Good answer !! Thanks John.... I hope TB is reading this!! Just quick one for you all out there here a said earlier is my thoughts on changing Scottish footbal all crticism is welcome but i reckon it would provide much needed stimulus scottish premier league 14 teams scottish premier league championship 10 teams scottish regional league 1 2 and 3 promotion relegation champions from championship up bottom premier down as usual then our own play offs 4th in championship play 3rd one off game at 3rds ground as 3rd finished higher the winner would travel to play 2nd and the winner of that would travel to second bottom of the premier league in a one off game with the winner taking its place in the spl think about it as the leagues are right now st johnstone up falkirk down 4th dunfermline travel to3rd dundee sell out crowd say dundee win travel to partick crowd 5k plus winners travel to caley crowd 5k plus excitement would be brilliant and would give real sense of a chance to the ist div teams as even if you finish 4th you still have a slim 3 away wins required chance to get to the spl and gives all teams in the division something to play for at this moment 6 teams could make the play offs just say premier was celtic,rangers,hearts,dundee utd,aberdeen,hibs ,well,hamilton,st mirren,killi,caley,falkirk,st john and partick championship dunde,livi,pars,queens,county,clyde,airdrie,morton,ayr and raith premier teams play each other twice(26games) then split 7+7 and play home and away again (38) games same as moment and takes away the stupid thing of 20 home/away games or 18 home/away games you are guaranteed 19 home and 19 away games simple championship would continue to play home and away twice (36 games) as would the 3 regional leagues regional leagues would be north montrose,forfar,brechin,arbroath,cove,inverurie,elgin peterhead,fraserburgh and huntly central east,east fife,cowdenbeath,berwick,gala,stenny,spartans,lochee,tayport,linli thgow preston thletic central west stirling,queens park,albion,dumbarton,annan,stranraer,pollock, killwinning,alloa,auchinlek most have tried to apply in past but atleast we would have pyramid system all 3 league winners plus challenge cup winners would play off home and away to meet in final winners playing bottom of championship in one of game at championship teams ground and if they met championship mcriteria so many seats etc this wouls assure that only teams with a wish to improve their stadium etc could come up if a team won the challenge cup and the regional division they would proceed to play off final direct only regional teams compete for challenge cup advantages 2 extra teams in spl more safety allowing use of more home grown talent plus more excitement to the 1st division plus we retain more full time teams and we retain the new look 3 divisions in the regional leagues allowing young managers/coaches and players opportunity to play in the senior game what you reckon have thought about writing to spl and sfa have it all typed out Hi John, have already contacted them, the uneven split isnt fair, my suggestion was a 14 team league but splits in to top 6 bottom 8, 7 and 7 means 2 teams don't play each week, slightly less games in the top 6 but bigger crowds and more space available for so called european fixtures, should in theory get further in the cups and more games in the bottom half= more income. Just now its 38 games, or, top 6 plays 36 games and has bigger crowds bottom 8 plays 40 games, with smaller crowds = 2 extra midweek fixtures + setanta coverage? top teams will play more games due to cup runs domestic and euro anyway everything is fair again with a balance between home and away matches, eg We could be playing hamilton 3 times at home this season if hibs finish in the top 6 or hibs 3 times at home if motherwell go up As you have also mentioned this has a positive effect in lower leagues, the standard is a lot higher in div1 now, if 2 teams come up, then 2 go up from div 2 which helps the existing 1st div clubs maintain fulltime football as the 2 new teams are more likely to go down again at the end of the season.
  9. Has anyone changed their minds on the team they picked yet . I'm still sticking with Kilmarnock. I would prefer Falkirk but they can score goals from time to time.
  10. I would have been happy with a point on Saturday and maintained the 4 point lead, maybe some of the players had the same thoughts or maybe were just trying too hard. Can we do away with the 6 pointer phrases, If we play a team and win we get 3 points, if Falkirk lose and we win we still get 3 points.
  11. the spell cheek is marked ABC wither tic, cane you cheek mine fore me to.
  12. Your limerick is rubbish it doesn't rhyme.
  13. Happy birthday + 1 day 'Big T Fan'
  14. Wear people are finding that there spelling is in correctly dune just click on the spell cheek fore the rite words'
  15. Can anyone scan the record if they buy it Terry and Darren got good coverage on North tonight too for the big 4
  16. I have a figure in my head that was in the press the last time we were in the semis and its staying there. Falkirk put us out of the CIS cup from an offside position. Knocked us out of the Scottish cup by scoring via a penalty and somehow stopped a very good ICT from scoring against them, even with 10 men. Were now out of the cup which is a shame but its in past now and its time to move on, there will be more cups to play for, next season. Good luck in the League.
  17. If a league table was created since our new management took over it would look something like this. Well done to ALL concerned for amassing so many points. I have compared the table after the Hearts match with the present one and I haven't taken goal difference in to account. I have just checked and we have scored one more goal than Motherwell Team----------played-----points ICT.---------------6---------11 MOTHERWELL.---6----------11 RANGERS.--------5---------10 HEARTS.----------6---------10 CELTIC.----------5-----------9 HIBS.-------------6-----------9 HAMILTON.-------7-----------9 ABERDEEN.------6-----------6 DDU--------------6-----------5 FALKIRK.---------5-----------5 ST MIRREN.------5-----------4 KILMARNOCK----7-----------3
  18. Its good to know that things are going so well the only thing to moan about is the announcer, Is robin williams available? GOOD AFTERNOON INVERNEEEEEEEEESSSSSS. As we won on saturday I quickly forgot that he said Dundee as opposed to DDU when mentioning the scores and moving the mike from his mouth to announce the 50/50 draw number.
  19. I made a couple of mistakes with tallying up the home matches, my apologies, IF Motherwell go up and having the assumption that all teams should play 2 home 2 away per season where possible, THE HOME fixtures would be St Mirren = Hamilton, ICT Hamilton = Kilmarnock,Falkirk,ICT Kilmarnock= St Mirren, ICT, Hibs = St Mirren,Hamilton,Kilmarnock, ( ICT) Falkirk = St Mirren,Killy, Hibs ICT = Falkirk, (Hibs) OR Well = ICT,Killy St Mirren = Hamilton,Well,ICT Hamilton = Kilmarnock,Falkirk,Well,(ICT) Kilmarnock = St Mirren, ICT, Falkirk = St Mirren,Killy,Well ICT = Falkirk, (Hamilton)
  20. Not the prettiest of games but we won.
  21. If Motherwell go up, Hibs on paper would have 5 home games so we would get 1 and probably Mirren or Hamilton would get 1 Leaving us with 2 home games, St Mirren OR Hamilton with 2, and the rest with 3 home matches, Which would mean if MOTHERWELL are in the top 6, we would have FALKIRK and HIBS at home If Hibs go up, on paper, we have 1 home game and the rest have 3 home matches, Combined with Scotty's knowledge, would mean. If HIBS finish in the top 6, we would have FALKIRK and HAMILTON or MOTHERWELL. I think it will be unlikely that we will have 3 home games as it would muck up the balance too much. I would assume that the powers that be, may very well give us Motherwell at home due to the condition of their pitch as opposed to Hamilton. I haven't worked out what would happen just yet if we finish in the top 6 but will gladly do so if that possibility arises.
  22. No, but i think Lionels' suspension will be served in next season's Scottish Cup, thus making him available for Saturday's game. Just a hunch. Thats the way i read it too, so hes in contention for the Killy match and misses next seasons first scottish cup game, you never know we may even get that wee 1st division team Falkirk, in our first game. To cut a long story short 'GOOD, HE IS AVAILABLE FOR SELECTION'
  23. We are an SPL team, so appendix 4 does not apply to anyone in the spl or sfl, highland league, etc
  24. No, but i think Lionels' suspension will be served in next season's Scottish Cup, thus making him available for Saturday's game. Just a hunch. Thats the way i read it too, so hes in contention for the Killy match and misses next seasons first scottish cup game, you never know we may even get that wee 1st division team Falkirk, in our first game. Iook at appendix 5 specified cup games, 3.2.3 I assume he falls in to category a, so read the chapter below a, b and c.
  25. How will the home fixtures pan out after the split, the home and away fixtures so far would mean 1 home fixture and 5 aways, which cant happen can it ??? Falkirk H, St Mirren A, Hamilton A, Killy A + Well ? A or Hibs ? A. Surely we would get 1 more home fixture but who?????
