Looking down this thread it looks like the 16 - 21 year olds have all the flash phones. Obviously they get too much pocket money.

Course we'll make it kencar. Rangers will get second and champions league. Hearts will get cup winners place and Hibs the second uefa spot for fourth place.

Players go out on loan when the club dont have a use for them any more. MacAllister and a few others are learning all the time. They are young lads with a long way to go and are getting experience both from reserve / U19 leagues and from our more experienced players. They dont need to go on loan. If the majority of those who critisise our young lads are so good at, and knowledgable of, the game why are they not on the field instead of in front of their computers. For christ sake give the kids a chance to learn their game.

[He had his chance and fecked it up] He had one start when the whole team played garbage. I still think that Foxy will be a prominent player for this club next season. I'm so confident I am going to sponsor him again.

Black may be top of Brews list but the Tic will pay more. oats, neither Keane or Lennon will be there next season. Keane has already indicated that he is likely to retire and I'm sure I read that Lennon will be leaving as well. If Rankin is a better player than Black then why aren't all those. interested in Black, not just going for Rankin. Personally I think he is no more than a good first div player.

Jock £110k between 9th and 7th. CC said in P&J monday that he would be giving one or two a runout over the last 5 games.

Brew is up in Inverness every weekend. His house is there as is his woman.

Hibs could still qualify for uefa.

22 so I would never have gotten married the first time.

Whats the route going to be now. Between Livi and Dunfermline over a week or Sneck to Dunfermline over three days.

Cant comment on the ability of Ben Jackson but what folk must remember is that the lad asked for a trial because he wants to move up to Sneck. He was then given a contract to end of season so he could be fully assessed. He has played in reserves and I'm quite sure he will get a run out, if Charlie thinks he's first team material. and he will show whether or not he is worth a longer contract. Personally I think it is good that we can fully assess him without actually committing to long term.

Agree with everything you said Don.

Totally against. The split was brought in so the big boys could make more cash at the end of the season. We should have a sixteen team league where each plays the others twice. And a winter break to get away from mid week football.

What we must all remember is that it was the fans who had the aspirations of a top six finish not the players or management. Their goal was to consolidate membership of the SPL. Top six was always seen as a bonus. However, it is disappointing that, for the second year running, we were so close to it. What fans must realise, especially those new to SPL football, is that every team in this league is there on merit and when there are close battles near the finish line the teams involved are all fired up. Motherwell, Aberdeen, and even Livi, have more experience of SPL than we have and when they see a chance of achieving a position, or in the case of Livi a chance of survival, they will battle for it in whatever way they can. Remember last season and Rangers coming from way back to clinch the championship. The fire has to be burning bright. Ours is still smouldering just now but given another year or two it will flare up good and proper. Just now we are learning to walk, soon we'll be running. We didn't lose our chance yesterday, we lost it v Motherwell. Now we will pick ourselves up, enjoy the last five games of the season and relish what we have achieved in such a short space of time. And we will congratulate our Board, Management Team and every last one of our players for getting us where we are and for the pains and pleasures of what is anothewr successful season.

Not sure what truth, if any, there is in this but some of my Tic mates reckon that the little red headed one is very impressed with Blackie and may be planning a bid for the wee guy. Has anyone else heard anything.

The Innes should sell exactly what it does sell. The pool table and dart board should be chucked in the bin to make more room for proper drinkers. :D

Aren't you the oldest of us all Johndo

And the big fix of the SPL--------Rangers v Hearts last game of season.

Its all looking good so far. No score at Aberdire. Motherwell one down. And the mighty Tokely puts ICT one up.
