  1. Just a shot in the dark, am wanting the match day programme from our game vs Dundee on the last day of the season in 2010, when we returned to the top flight. Would mean a lot to me, considering it was my first game... Cheers ?
  2. In all honesty, I'm surprised he hasn't gone into managing elsewhere. Yeah, he didn't have a fun time managing us, but surely there could've been places at Highland/Lowland League sides?
  3. If anyone (with reasonable knowledge in Wikipedia editing), wants to take over from me on editing this season's Wikipedia page, that'd be cool. I am currently unable to edit as much as I used to, because my laptop refuses to work and it's near impossible to edit on my phone, but if someone could take over from me until I can get back to editing. Bear in mind, there's quite a lot that needs editing after every game I.e. Overall Table, Overall Goalscorers, match results, and highest/lowest attendances (if either are surpassed). Usually I keep the future matches limited to 5 in advance, because other Wiki users hate it if I go and add all future games...but it's really up to you. Cheers!
  4. Mate, I was right there behind the goal when it happened, the entirety of the North Stand saw it. He goes and makes a low diving save to the left and slides past the post, and behind the back line with ball to his chest, it was a corner every day of the week. We knew it, and so did our players. Just the irony that the match officials are sponsored by Specsavers, yet they can't see what's going on half the time.
  5. Interesting that not once in this thread, anyone brings up the referee...In all fairness, we were crap in the first half, but in the second we had picked it up very well, and shouldve won it. But the referee turning blind eyes to very obvious penalties and a corner, when beardy slid behind the line, ball in hand (look at the highlights, black and white, ref shouldve done something) really cost us a draw (and dare I say it, a win). Either way, terrible game, just nursing my knuckle after punching the gate when venting my anger (which I am rather glad I did, because I doubt I could've held it in after two Falkirk fans started being d*cks about it later on, in the subway by Rose Street). I'm not saying that we were absolutely insane, but, we were better than we are most weeks...
  6. Words been circulating that they're looking to add a fourth tier to the SPFL. Consisting of 4 Highland League, 4 Lowland League and 4 Colt teams. Opinions? Personally, I think it's a decent idea, however, I don't like the Colt team idea...the only way is accept League Three is if the Colt teams can't get promoted from it or win titles (Like other leagues in Europe) and if it's an easier drop to the Highland/Lowland League, I.e. both top teams in the leagues are automatically promoted, and the bottom two are put in the leagues depending on location, making the Highland/Lowland The equivalent of the National League in England, where it's non league but part of the pyramid, unlike what it is now, where it is recognised, but not part of the pyramid fully.
  7. Tbh, that does bring up an interesting point. Richie had been involved in a few punch ups while at ICT, one being understandably for sectarian abuse against him and Doran from some drunkards, and another for something or other, and hell, he ended up keeping his place and eventually managing the team (albeit terribly). Aaron Doran and Danny Devine (and another bloke, who was unnamed), also done in with the police over an incident which the police still haven't disclosed to the public, despite it being over 4 years on, and slapped with 40 quid fines. I am definitely not saying what Ricky did was a good idea (firmly admit that karma gets back to you), but how come he got booted out of the club for clobbering someone (which the rest of these guys had done, some occasions they were a tad drunk), yet the rest managed to keep their contracts and get away with minimal repercussions (i.e. cuffs slapped on them then hauled to court and let off with fines/suspended jail sentence (which I believe was the case in Foran's first punch up))? I guess, in a way, it's to teach younger fans a lesson "Don't be an idiot and start punching people, just cos your car got slightly dented", but surely if that was the case, then Foran, Doran and Devine would've been kicked out to teach the younger fans a lesson of "Don't start fights in public"...
  8. You still got the programme? EDIT: Just realised, I posted this a month after this initially went up ?, worth a shot in the dark.
  9. Not exactly defending his actions, and unfortunate to see him go, but surely there's more to the story. He's a decent lad doubt he'd go ahead and clobber someone over a fender bender. And also, it's confusing, because correct me if I'm wrong, but werent Danny Williams and another player (forget who, may have been Doran) done by the police for a fight or something in the city centre?
  10. They've taken their sweet time to sort out their site. It was what, mid/late September the site went down for Host Migration or whatever, and little of the stuff we had originally is there, we lack the shop, a decent player list, opponents list (detailing every single team we've played), the list goes on.
  11. It's not helpful to our promotion hopes, and it stresses the fans as to whether we even have hope of winning games. Hell, we failed to beat both Alloa and Ayr, which in a majority of people's books, fairly easy opposition to dispose of and pick up an easy 3 points. Though, I enjoy the unbeaten streak which is at 20/21 games now, we definitely need wins to keep the crowd happy.
  12. I hate to say it, but this is our last hope of staying a full time club, it's either get promoted this season, or be doomed for an eternity in the Championship or, dare I say it, even lower. I highly doubt we have the funds to survive another season outside the premiership. And the only way we'll get top flight football is if some of the team actually woke up and pulled their weight, from the games I've attended both our attack and defence is lackluster, we're simply handing the ball to the opposition, and at the rate this is going, I think County are going to take serious advantage of that on Saturday unless we seriously improve our performances tomorrow night. We all know where we want to be in the Pyramid, back in top flight, taking on the big boys and fighting for a return to the Europa League, but none of that will happen (maybe ever) unless the team gets their act together and pulls as a team.
  13. To be fair, he was injured for the most part of last season. But I have to admit, he's not as agile as he was back a couple of seasons ago...not exactly banging them top bins from outside the box as much as he used to.
  14. I mean, it's a Friday night game, if it was a home game, sure, why not, but it's upwards of 200 miles both ways. Saturday, I'd gladly go, cos then I'll have Sunday off, but considering most work a saturday morning/afternoon shift, it's not exactly putting the fans first. I'll make every attempt I can to go to any game, but not getting home until the wee hours is what throws me off. Evening kickoffs should be reserved for Tuesday/Wednesday fixtures, not weekend ones...
  15. Apparently (According to Transfermarkt) OFW has had a slight extension to his contract, taking him to the end of November.
  16. Eh, as long as it adds to my groundhopping list and we secure a win, I'm all happy for the adventure.
  17. Daniel, I feel, is more of an impact player, like Ricky. Run circles around a tiring opposition, he's not a starting XI in my books, but as long as there is an advantage that can be taken, Daniel and Ricky are the ones to do it.
  18. As you all of you are aware, we are slowly creeping into that time of the year where free agent transfers start to peak, just before the start of the Winter Transfer Window. I, have come up with an (albeit highly unlikely, and pretty are-you-drunk?) idea/signing. (Brace for it) Usain Bolt...(yep, you all think I'm off my nut), but as all (if not many) of you are aware, Bolt is looking to pursue a career in football and recently scored a double on his "debut" with Central Coast Mariners in Australia, though that game was a friendly, and he has not signed for them...I'm thinking we could get him in as his first club this winter, as A) You want to make a good impression for your first club I.e. not attempting to bankrupt them at negotiations, B) Need to sign for somebody before going to a massive club (he has mentioned wanting to play in the EPL) and C) He is coming to the age where you don't have a lot of time left as a player, he's 32. However, this is all dependant on finances and the case of OFW, and whether he'll be sold or sent on a free transfer. If (not counting on it) the board does make a move to sign him, it could and probably would expand the club's name around the world (If "Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious" and Lionel Nessi didn't enough). Another benefit, is that we will get MegaBucks when it gets to the time that he wants to go, as there will be club's globally that want his name. However, all of this may be my weird fantasies of seeing the club get big time again, and I bet my life on that everyone that has read this is saying "This lad is completely bonkers". If you have read this far without lobbing your computer out the window because of my seemingly imbecilic idea, another move could be to offer him a trial...
  19. I doubt he'll be getting a position back here, considering we have Mark and the younger keepers. He was sent out due to wage constraints. Money is on he stays on in the States either on loan or transfer, or he'll head down south for England or Wales. It will probably be decided in January.
  20. Hopefully it pays off. As long as we get a decent cup run (bear in mind, I'm not delusional saying we will win it) in the Scottish Cup, say 5th/Quarters at most, that'd get his new contract off to a great start.
  21. I'll be wetting myself laughing if they start mocking us at the next derby over the cup win, it is literally the diddiest of diddy cups.
  22. Give them Foran, could easily slot a dozen goals in with him in charge...and United would be facing off against Brechin in League One next season...
  23. Might try and get a programme from the Astra game too, also, for anyone wondering, you can get an ICT vs Arbroath, 1994 (first game) programme off of Ebay, if you go to this and can't find one. Only a couple quid, definitely worth the buy
  24. Felt like it was going on until midnight, god, it felt like it lasted forever.
  25. Was it or was it not a goal? Looked like the ball went past the line in the keepers hands, we were all calling for a goal in the North Stand, any Main Standers confirm it crossed the line?
