As things stand at the moment we are not sitting too bad in this league. No team will ever dominate it. The top will change each week. This week Partick go top. Queen's get stuffed by Morton. Thats how it'll be all season. The season we won it we see-sawed between fifth and top for many weeks of the season. Every season since, the first has been the same, barring last season where St J commanded. We are still in touch with the top and probably will be right to the end. Wins against Queen's and Kircaldy and we're back at the top.

I can't honestly see what the problem is here. Terry is no longer working for Setanta so won't be in their studio. His only work with ITV is when Rangers are playing in Europe and its on that channel. Thats not many games.

And the fans follow on

On the approach to the Kessock Bridge

Turn down the sound on tv and put the radio on

First rule of smartarsery Alex - YOU MUST BE RIGHT! Detention for you boy. Is it practise or practice? Depends if your in America or Britian Stan Oxford dictionary: practice ? noun 1 the actual application of a plan or method, as opposed to the theories relating to it. 2 the customary way of doing something. 3 the practising of a profession. 4 the business or premises of a doctor or lawyer. 5 the action or process of practising something so as to become proficient in it. ? verb US spelling of PRACTISE. ? USAGE It should be noted that practice is the spelling for the noun, and in America for the verb as well; practise is the British spelling of the verb. practise (US practice) ? verb 1 perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly in order to improve or maintain proficiency in it. 2 carry out or perform (an activity or custom) habitually or regularly. 3 be engaged in (a particular profession). 4 observe the teaching and rules of (a religion). 5 archaic scheme or plot for an evil purpose. Back on topic. I think penalties are more about having the nerve and ability to dupe an opposing keeper than about the actual kick, provided it's on target. Not every player has the calmness to be a penalty taker.

My understanding is the total prize fund for Alba Cup is less than ?100k. TV cash will be no more than 10k. However, I do think its an important and worthwhile competition. It's the only competition where a football league club is gauranteed to win and it can be a big morale boost for all involved.

This aint the case the case is that Terry thought we were so woeful on Saturday that he ordered the players in for training on Sunday and he must be working miracles as by thursday he think they are good enough to have a day off, Terry must be a miracle worker fixed all the problems in 4 days Maybe, just maybe footballers are covered by the working time regulations the same as most of the working population. i.e must not work more than seven days without a break.

I now I have probblems with my spelling but should it not be PRACTISE? KNOW PROBLEMS PRACTICE!! :002: :023: Caleyfan4ever.... go to the bottom of the class!!! He (she?) is perfectly correct with the "practise" (although I have to say, NOT with a few more words than that! .) The verb, which is what is being used here, has an "S", the noun has a "C". Now now Charles. You should go to the bottom of the class. Both spellings are correct.

Maybe Terry was at the airport. Has it crossed anyones mind that he could be picking someone up? Day off today? Very possible if they were in sunday and monday they had today off instead of the usual wednesday. Terry on tv last night? Yep! Maybe he drove down after work yesterday and drove back today. Either way can anyone honestly say that his tv work affects his ability to manage ICT? I think not.

Steven, you have a lot to learn about life. have you any idea how many Gypsy travellers there are living in Inverness. Or even Elgin for that matter.

maybe its because we speak proper that he's offended. After all it's really Pertick. it's sad really that he wants to foresake the history of his club by wanting to disassociate from the area of his clubs birth. Maybe he'd prefer they were Maryhill Thistle, or maybe Renfrew Thistle (Meadowside), Whiteinch Thistle (Inchview), Partick Thistle (Muirpark), maybe revert back to Whiteinch Thistle (Jordanvale) or even Kelvin Thistle (Kelvingrove). Partick must, surely, be the most nomadic team in the country. They've had six different grounds in five different area's of Glasgow. I should add, however, that all those moves were prior to 1909 and that they've been Maryhill Thistle for 100 years.

Historically our home record has been bad. 04/05 7 wins out of 20, (4) 05/06 5 wins out of 18,( 6) 06/07 8 wins out of 19, (6) 07/08 9 wins out of 19, (3) 08/09 4 wins out of 19 (5). Figures in brackets are draws. Our best season was Charlies full season when we won 8 and drew 6 out of 19. at home that season wasn't so good though Only 3 wins and 7 draws out of 19. Of the 4 managers we've had in the SPL CC is the only one that seemed to be able to address the home fprm problem.

This thread was not started to clype on players who are out on the town. The point being made, and the question I ask, is the players wouldn't be able to be out very late and over indulge in alcoholic refreshment if they had to go in for a training session sunday morning. Is this the correct course of action?

Some tame chants for sunday All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, Caley rule the Highlands, County rule f*ck all! Build a bonfire, Build a bonfire, Put Derek Adams on the top, Put Ross County in the middle, And we'll burn the f******g lot! We've been blowin' bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air, They fly so high, They reach the sky, And like County they fade and die, Partick?s always running, Dundee?s running too, We're supporting Caley and we're coming after you! And for the stewards You cause all the trouble, You cause all the trouble, La la la la, La la la la... Stand up just to piss them off, Stand up just to piss them off, Stand up just to piss them off, Stand up just to piss them off...

On the point in topic lets be serious for a moment. The word Gypsy in itself is not racist. Gypsy Travellers have no problem in being called Gypsies or Travellers. That is what they are. The problem arises, and this is a point of law and not a club or SFA thing, when phrases like 'gypsy b******', thieving gypsy so and so, gypo, pikie etc. are used. Gypsies have been recognised, in law, as being a separate race of peoples and, as such, are afforded the same protection under rascist law as any other minority group in this country. People can, and will, think it's all a bit of fun with no harm meant but ask yourselves this. Would you walk down Academy street shouting 'Paki bas**** or black fu****? No, because you could well find yourself being jailed. Same applies with Gypsy name calling. Do it and get caught doing it and the consequences are the same. That is the way of the law and the club must be seen to be upholding the law, or face sanctions so please think on before someone decides to make a test case against us.

Is that legal in the Eastgate Can you guys no read? or are you all dirty minded? The sentence would have said: I got bare NOT i got a wee bear How did I guess this would have happened? Cheers Alex not a good thing to do to someone after they had couple of wines. Steve, being depressed at being stuck in the freezing North Sea, and today's result means I have to take any opportunity I can to cheer myself up. You enjoy your wine in your warm home and I'll continue to fight the elements to get the fuel down the pipeline.

In my opinion this is the right reaction from Butcher. For a few weeks now we've been short of competition for places due to injury and suspension. I think many of those available have the attitude that they'll get picked anyway, regardless of performance. If I performed in my job the way some players perform I wouldn't have a job. Maybe its time footballers realised that they also have to work for their money.

Neccessary?

What took you Smee? The biggest problem at ICT is the negative support. Get behind Butcher, get behind the Team. So far, no damage done ............. the League is there for the taking, for any Team who can put together a decent run. When are you going to be fit enough to get us back into the mix Positives --- it seems we did try to get back into the game in the second half scoring two goals. Positives --- when they're all fit we have a decent defence ---just no cover. Positives --- we are scoring goals --- just not enough Negatives --- we are sh!t in midfield for large parts of any game --- not controlling the ball --- not positive or acurate with our passing --- no one person taking control and dictating the game. Sadly, my one negative seems to surpass all the positives.

Eh Surely Dundee are bigger challengers for the league than County. Wouldn't it be better for that match to finish a draw or County win? Only if we win this one. Otherwise it would put County another 3 in front of us. Better 4 ahead than 7.

No! taken by surprise would be to lose goals early in the game. It took 38 minutes. More than enough time to have them sussed out. Some on here seem to want to blame strikers. One even vents his venom on Barrowman. Sorry but there's 11 players in that team and all are to blame, as is the management duo. We all know Proctor's sh!te as right back. We all know Bulvitus makes mistakes. Puting the two of them together is just disastrous. I haven't seen or heard anything of this game so far but its my guess that PT have sussed the week side and profited by it.

Skysports haven't even got us kicked off yet
