  1. The material used in the Errea products is designed to keep the person cool and to make its 'wicking effect' work it needs to be figure hugging. One of my colleagues is a Middlesborough fan and they have the same gripes about size. Personally I think it is much improved on the last home design. My only gripe is that it should be red and black stripes with a thin white stripe in between and blue stitching. :004:
  2. Sadly its a no go for me this year. They're going to Pisa 3rd to 10th July and I'm offshore. :007:
  3. Unlike the money grabbing OF our strips run for two seasons so the away top will change next season. Hope supplies of this one are available before the derby game on 22 july. My wifes grandson is a mascot that day and he'd look silly walking out with the team in a different top.
  4. We also compete in the SPL reserve league. Looking at most proffessional teams around Britian 26 is generally the aim of the lower budget teams and I would say that is about right. We have been fairly consistent in our progress through cup tournies which means playing twice a week at times so additional comer is a must. For some of last season we had four people out through injury at one time. If we went with the 18 min that Kingsmills suggests and the same injury level were to occur we wouldnt have a matchday squad.
  5. I believe Blackburn may also be jumping into the bidding war.
  6. There's a fair few spread over Angus, Tayside, Fife and Highland Perthshire
  7. Whether you like him or loath him I think he has had the **** dropped on him from a great hieght. The man wasn't even aware that he was transfer listed let alone nearing a deal with any other club.
  8. Could the end of season supporters do be organised for 22nd july after we play County.
  9. Aberdeen prices are £270 Richard Donald wings and lower front. £365 for RD centre, £365 for main £270 South and £230 Merkland (family section) making average adult price £300 We are £330 main, £280 north £200 family making average adult price £270. Our pricing is actually better value than most other SPL teams. Celtic Rangers Hearts Hibs DU and Killie are all dearer than us. I do agree, however, that our child / concession 'pay at the gate' prices are ridiculess.
  10. What pic?
  11. Guzz, my tenner should now be in your account. Cheers
  12. This club will progress no matter who the manager. Nobody has ever come in and made sweeping changes. They've all brought a little bit of something but its the players who have responded. Pele brought an attack minded set up. Robbo added a defense to that. Brew brought a fitness aspect and got the squad bonding more by having them together for lunch each training day. He also gave them some Greek ideas on diet. CC will bring his style into it but he wont undo what has been built up thus far. I spoke to Barry a while back and he reckoned that if he hadn't had the proverbial kick in the pants about his weight and fitness he would likely be looking at ending his playing career pretty soon. As it was he took on board what Brew had said to him, he shed a few pounds and now works hard on staying fit. He reckons theres no reason why he cant now go on for a couple or three more years. Managers come and managers go as do players but its ICT who make success and will continue to do so.
  13. I think both Dennis and Dargs showed more promise when Blackie was feeding them. When he got injured, Dennis, for one, didnt seem to get fed the right ball. I'm sure, now that his future is secure, he will want to win everything.
  14. Golly is, and has been, club captain for past two seasons. Presumably his contract reflects this position. I would be very surprised if the position was taken from him unless he was being shown the door and I doubt that to be the case. Dods was stand in on the field but Golly was always the Club captain. I think if a stand in was required then Barry would be my choice. He is the one player who is very vocal on the park, he encourages his team mates and shows excellent leadership potential.
  15. Curious to know where Tichy's info comes from cos Uefa site hasn't been update to reflect this.
  16. Doesn't the scorers from last years Denmark trip count? If yes then: Fox v Nykobing Proctor v FC Nordsjaelland Wilson, Hart, Bayne, Hislop, Prunty and MacAllister v Hornbaek
  17. I dont know if our kids prices are any different to other clubs so cant comment there. However, though I agree with promoting the club to the young ones, a balance has to be struck that will increase revenue. Its ok saying let the kids in at knock down prices or even free but every seat a child occupies is a potential adult fee. What we need is a balance that will increase both adult and child support. One of the things that would help is to make the game more entertaining. Pre match and half time activities, perhaps a pipe band, competitions etc. Make the game a worthwhile family day out.
  18. Glad I wasn't born then. Its minging.
  19. [align=center]BOTH PLAYERS HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN THIS TEAM[/align]
  20. I never for one minute thought that Parkie would go to Livi. He done well working with Robbo at ICT and he went with Robbo to Hearts. He didn't go there through any loyalty to Robbo, though that may have helped his decision. He went because, like Robbo, he had success as a player with Hearts and they gave him his first coaching opportunities. Parky is happy where he is now and knows what side his bread is buttered on.
  21. Why Oh Why are so many folk getting their knickers in a twist about press speculation and unfounded remarks from opposition fans. Look at the opening sentence in that article. "Dundee United are set to launch another raid on Caley Thistle". ANOTHER raid??? When was the first one? Brew has indicated he admires two or three of our players and that they would be top of his WISH list. Grazza and our Board have said there's a high price on those players. The grocer is not willing to pay six figure sums. End of story. If Charlie Christie was to publicly state that he admires Ronaldo would that mean we were persuing him? All our players are under a legally binding contract so unless ALL parties concerned agree to terminate the contracts nobody will be going anywhere. But even if we do sell one or two players remember this: ICT are a team. We've lost individuals in the past but we still amassed the fourth highest points tally in the SPL. And remember the doubters who had us relegated because Brew had left us. Come on guys and girls, be positive.
  22. Even if the SFL clubs voted in favour of a 'Championship' league they must give two years notice of their intended breakaway and if the league is formed, what happens with promotion. Where do the winners go. The SPL have an agreement with the SFL to allow one team up. Would they change that in favour of the new breakaway league. Those teams who did breakaway to form this new league could find themselves excluded from the rest. As for RC, I wouldn't discount their ability to succeed though I think St Johnston will win the Div1 championship. Gretna are in for a shock. They haven't, so far, had to endure a hard contest over a whole season. They walked Div2 but there was no competition. Div1 will be a totally new ball game for them.
  23. Its very unlikely that anything will be built on the road side. The gas pipeline is a problem. What I would do is develop the wings of the main stand. Build round in an arch at both ends to meet with the north and south stands. This would probably add another 1000 covered seats
  24. The Midden will go straight back down. St Johnston will go up. Hearts will win SPL St Johnston the 1st Partick the 2nd Elgin C the 3rd Get yer money on if yer brave enuff SPL Hearts Celtic Aberdeen Inverness Rangers (Le Goon will need a season to build his team) Kilmarnock Dunfermline (Big Jim finally gets a scorer) Motherwell Hibs (no Mowbray) Falkirk Dundee U (Brew gets an offer from Greece) St Mirren
  25. As an honest hard working Scot I have to give my 110% support to SCOTLAND. I've even got my red white and black SCOTLAND t-shirt on order. Notice the T & T colours Red and Black with some white. Not an ounce of blue in sight.
