Spud! a County fan! Him from Aviemore too! I dont believe it :015: Seriously though, there is a need for decent entertainment though. Falkirk used to do a competition to win a car. Cant remember how it worked though but it was something to do with scoring three goals from the centre spot with obsticles in the way. Mind you it was Brockville where you had to shoot over a mountain first. Never ever knew of anyone who actually achieved it.

Scotsport SPishL??????? Now I know why I subscribe to Setanta.

A few weeks ago on another thread, which was debating the Bayne/Dargo or Wyness/Dargo partnerships, I suggested that a Bayne/Wyness partnership could be the way to go. Of course the armchair experts shot me down but I still stand by it. Bayne/Wyness, for me, is the way to go.

Not quite true. Marks foot put his body the wrong way for the penalty :016:

Johndo a candidate?????? He wrote the feckin books!!!! :015:

We'll see, we'll see o' wise one :016:

I'll be there and I expect to see the team that started yesterday.

Craigdarroch Lodge at Contin New Years day. For entertainment there was a whisky quiz, part of which involved a tasting session. Embarrassed to say. I got them all wrong, even the rotgut Laphroig. We were in teams of four. Me, my missus and an English couple. None of them willing to taste so I had to do it all. Didnt care about not winning though :014:

The one important difference between us and Falkirk is that they are hitting the back of the net more often. Look at yesterdays stats. ICT v St Mirren Falkirk v DUFC Shots on target 5 Shots on target 9 Shots of target 3 Shots of target 0 Goals 2 Goals 5 We need to start getting the off target shots on target and the on target ones into the net. Falkirk have scored 32 goals to our 25 this season. Thats whats got them above us.

Clacher, you mention Robbo and Brew. Where's Livi in Div 1 table? 7th. Wheres Brewster? Aberdeen reserves as a player. Every manager, be they experienced or not, needs to be a footballing tactician. They also need players who can fit into their plans. They all build teams that can provide what is required. Under our last two managers we had a reputation for being very defensive. Indeed we were usually parked in the opposition box. Defenders did not get forward. They lobbed the ball up the park in the hope someone would connect with it and get lucky. This tactic worked but was not entertaining. I believe CC is a more attack minded person and that he is doing his best to change our players and to develop their skills in an attacking fashion. Much like Pele tried to do. When we get things right at the beginning of any game our players grow in confidence, they pass the ball and the attack all out. Defenders get up the park and some even score. When it doesn't go right in the first quarter hour, heads droop and the ball gets hoofed but I believe we are on the right tracks and that, with two or three players brought in, ones who were not part of any previous ICT setup, CC and DP will build an entertaining, successful attacking team. I dont base my beliefs on any parochialism or idolisation of Charlie Christie. I base it all on what I see on the park and the tv screen. Charlie Christie may not have been a player at the top levels but he has a very sound knowledge of the game and a very positive idea of what he wants and how to achieve that. Finally, I see CC and DP taking us to sixth place and a Scottish Cup final.

A few weeks ago when we were debating strike partnerships, and I wasn't too impressed with Wyness's performances, I suggested the he and Bayne may be the better partnership. From what I've seen lately I believe this is where the success is going to come from, they are starting to work well for each other, and that both players will start scoring regularly.

Brown likes the club and the area. I believe CC will be given the funds to enhance the deal offered to Brown to keep him.

Emma Harding says we're getting Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry. I read it in the match programme yesterday. And only the truth is ever printed there. :003:

Considering that Ferguson came back to Rangers because he and his family were homesick and couldnt hack being away from Glasgow I cant see him returning south. We couldnt afford him but I wouldnt be surprised to see him somewhere like Hibs or Aberdeen. Personally I think he's been dropped for screaming "dont dive, dont dive" to Burke in the game against us.

Whilst leaving the stadium yesterday the announcer gave out the Falkirk score. Some guy in front of us turns to his mate, with all the wisdom and knowledge of a know-it-all fan, and say's, "bet Stokes got another hat-trick". Didnt like to point out to the guy that the lad wasn't playing.

G-string and

Stupidly Ian stepped over the ball and backhealed it after the ref had placed it. Not the best thing to do and the lad should know better. Sadly this is the sort of silly things that are getting him booked on a regular basis. IMO he needs to seek some anger management and learn just to walk away.

Watchng it on Setanta I agree 100% with Rankin being the TV choice. I thought he was brilliant last night. He got into so many spaces and made McGregor work for his sheckles. I even phoned in John as my choice but I didnt see them announce the comp winner.

Personally I see nothing disastrious about this. We know Dods is leaving and will bring in a replacement. We have excellent cover for Mark and, to be honest, it probably is time he moved on for his own development. He's been a fantastic servant to this club and will be missed but I for one would wish him well wherever he goes.

We should take the money now cos it looks very like the old ankle injury that kept the lad out at Killie is playing up again.

If you get a chance to watch it check out PLG's face as John R bursts the net. Priceless

This is something that arises every time the OF play at Sneck. The one question I always ask though is this: Do we want the gate money for all the available seats or not? Cos there's no chance of us getting 5012 ICT fans to fill them.
