I think it has a lot to do with their lack of Champions league involvement. Top top players will not join for mega money alone. But they've still managed to get Tevez, Adebayor, Viera(past his best but wealth of xp) Lescott, Given, Barry, Santa Cruz, Robinho (not as good as he thinks) Toure, and the promising Adam Johnson I can see them over taking Liverpool, and Arsenal wont be far behind without alot of investment. And in fairness Bellamy has been pretty good this season. But no way is Joe Cole worth 180k a week. He's not even week in week out regular at Chelsea. How does a rotated player merit that much?!

Eh Rossco? Duncan? Proctor? all been here a while. Got to be big Ross Tokely. The only man to have worn every shirt. As long as you have leaders on the park doing the job it doesn't matter who wears the armband. In most countries abroad the captaincy aint as big a deal, usually bestowed upon the oldest most experienced players.

I'd say he's pretty raw but he has the nessecary attributes for the job. And a bit of talent and potential to get better. I reckon that as Tokely gets on a bit he'd make a decent right back with Ross in at centre half perhaps. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned that he is a right back who can play centre half. I'd rather have Proctor in the defensive mid role than right back.

Lets just keep it simple and just keep winning. But we need a max of a win and a draw to rule County out and a max of 2 wins to rule Dundee out. So it's till the case of win 2 out of 3 and we are champions. Well we could win 1 and draw against Dundee and we'd win also but that would scare me shitless after last season. Nope 2 wins and a final day trophy collection will do me fine.

The type of people they had going on open trial days there this season was ridiculous. 1 guy went because he was " the fastest in his street" Thats fair enough if he lives in the same street as Usain Bolt. It does not however make you a footballer.

It's pretty even. We did it against a Celtic side which contained Moravcik, Viduka and a young Petrov. And Regi Blinker! We were a bottom half, very inconsistent (we'd win 4-0 one week then get pumped the next), very young and skint 1st division team going to Parkhead. We were basically seen as a formality. A bye to the next round. I always thought we had a slight chance though, but that was mainly ross tinted optimism. Ross County did it against a team that probably are not as good as the one which formed part of O'Neills teams backbone. Everyone fancies their chances and they had the added incentive of a cup final. Ross County are a fairly consistent, top half, fairly well off (for an SFL1 team) 1st division team. They were up against Robbie Keane. If he doesn't get a sniff Celtic have proved fairly toothless. But he is top class. Celtic should be beating Ross County. They were big favourites. McGeady should be relishing playing on the wide open hampden turf. I always thought County had a good chance and I dont really want them to win. So I'd say ours was a bigger scalp. A result which really shocked. However the stature of County's game is bigger as they are now in the Scottish Cup Final. However I offer congratulations to them and am glad to see a highland team get it up one of the Old Firm. And the extra games played in the cup may aid us significantly in the title run in. 7 games to play in 21 days for county then 2 weeks off before final. Well done Ross County! C'mon the Caley Jags! 3 games to go.

Ooooh I might have to get one. It's either gonna be a title decider or victory parade (for 1 team, wont say who. Cant be cocky.) with the way it's going.

At the momento Odi is the man in possesion of the shirt, is more in form and is getting goals. However over the course of the season Sandshoes has been the better and is a better player in general. He maybe needs to work on his shooting and have more confidence in shooting but his pro's outweigh his cons in that he brings more creativity to the side. However 2 different players with different styles. Its a pleasant option to have.

"A look a last minute winner for the Caley Jags Mr Scott" "Get it up ye Dundee, Whe's in Cherge?! Thats what happens when ye sack the gaffer. Proper Teckle!"

oooooh got a wee bitty excited there. Haha! Running around the room. Full Time.

THERES ONLY ONE RICHIE FORAN! overhead kick! WOW! YIPEE!!!!

corner for Raith. Esson booked. 5 clean sheets then 3 conceded.

Simmons sent off for Raith. Munro booked - raith players raging apparently but Bulvitus seen as covering. C'mon last 5 minutes. Sanchez, Hayes then Bulvitus all just had shot blocked in quick succesion. Keep it up. Free kick for us...

All the teams in Div 3? At least twice. Well noted... and funny

You do realise there is a lot of old folks that check these forums out. Really irresponsible.... But a cracker nonetheless. Whew! My boss tried an april fool this morning. I knew what he was up to cos he had a big dirty look on his face. Pee'd me off cos I was pretty busy at the time.

I guess Dundee have set the example eh? When was your last win by the way?

Did Xuasa not score against us a couple of times after he left to go to Livi?

We're top of the league! YAY! 7 games to go.

Full Time at County. 1-1 Yus Bobby Mann just scored from his own half!

ross county 1 - 1 dundee Steven Craig after 88 min. stay as u are now please.

Great save from Tuffey from Cox shot.

It all seems to me like that Lindsays wasn't brought in merely to improve the catering situation, but mainly because the club couldn't be bothered dealing with it and would rather have a large catering company deal with the hassle, whilst still making a decent cut of the takings no doubt. I have no doubt that our prices are in line with other 1st divison grounds as well...just so long as they are run by the same caterers. There is always a problem with these large companies in terms of quality. Food generally always found lacking. It got no soul man! However I imagine they'll get the queuing sorted. The more punters they get through, the more money made. If people wait too long they turn around and dont hand over their dosh which is not what they want.

This was actually trialed in Scottish football in the 70s Im sure. I remember watching one of those football reruns shows and this being explain. It obviously didnt work. Maybe we should have a system like the sudden death in ice hockey whereby if the teams cant be seperated a man is taken off each side to make it maore interesting. So if at half time the score is 0-0 a coach chosen man from each side is removed and it goes to 10 a side. Im sorry I think there are alot of goals in football. But if a team sits back and defends its still damn hard to score.

Hmmm I wonder if it hadn't been noticed he hadn't been making the payments (through no fault of his own I stress...probably) and he continued to watch them scot free he'd complain? One of two thinks have been done me thinks. 1- bank statements were NOT checked. OP had no idea if payments being made and that some illegal fraudster posing as a rich Nigerian diplomat has in fact been pinching out of his account for ages. 2- Bank statement HAS BEEN checked and, what, they're not taking the money? Ah well I'll keep that stoom. Maybe no one will notice. Chance it me thinks. If they eventually bill me I'll pay it of course, but its their job, no mine. I make a point of checking my statements. I wanna know Im paying my DDs etc so Im not given a shock 5 months down the line. Mind you It doesn't stop the bank phoning up and checking what you've been spending your money on and it is in fact you thats been spending it. "?55 in pub" Yep me. "62.75" in club (same night, cash back included) yep, me again ... and then getting told your card has been comprimised and would be cancelled anyway as it had been used in a place where known fraud had taken place. Then when i ask "Any chance you could tell me where this was, so i dont use it there again?" "sorry we cant give out that information, computer says naw!" So in the end whilst the bank/DD company or club maybe should have got in contact earlier (if they didn't) OP should have been checking his statements and making sure, if he wants to be sure events like this didnt arise.

I can't actually believe this topic has gone on as long as it has.
