Drum at both ends. Long chant from North stand

First and second Champions league. Third and SC winners Europa I believe. In the past if SC winners already qualified then runners up got spot. There was talk of changing that but dont know if it ever happened. To be sure of a spot we best aim for third.

They're all ICT fans at Millburn.

Didn't realise we'd signed Ronaldo

Your very wrong. We are seven points clear of sixth place and only six points available to them. To drop below sixth four teams need to overtake us. Only three can.

Montreal 2-1 Toronto

I look at our first team squad list and I see a few players that have come through our youth system. These are players who have been deemed suitable for first team. They train with first team and they fight for positions like any other player. I have no doubt some will even feature more regular in the future. They are still very young and still have a lot to learn though. Much of that learning is happening by playing in U-20 league each week. We must have an U-20 team as part of our acceptance into SPL and those players are starting in that league. Do people think they should play U-20 and senior or should we weaken our U-20 team to allow those players more exposure at senior level? Much of the problem just now stems from the SPL scrapping the reserve / U-21 league. Most teams couldnt keep players on and now there is a shortage. A few of our U-20's are barely our of nappies but are still doing a reasonable job in that league. This is not solely an ICT problem. I dont get to see any youth games but I believe that, if we produce players who are good enough and keen enough to compete in senior league, they will get the chance.

A win against County. Guaranteed top six McKay tops scorer league Doran tops the assist league All in all not a bad weekend

Should have had your camera on multi shot Andy so we could track the ball all the way to the back of the net.

The games just a mere formality girl.

Anyone would think he was the first manager ever to be called in front of the SFA beaks for a moment of stupidity

Dont Celtic and Ross County both count their empty ST seats?

So we now have a team for next season Esson Meekings, Warren, Devine, G. Shinnie Greenhalgh, Draper, Pepper, Ross Foran, McKay Just need a few subs now

sorted it for ya!!

People......get over it. If you have never lashed out in anger at something, be it punching the air, banging your head against a wall, kicking a stone in the street, slamming a door or whatever, then you have the right to criticise. I think the majority will have done so at some point in their lives. To vandalise is to deliberately and knowingly cause damage. TB lashed out in anger and the perspex broke. Did he expect it to break. Did he deliberately cause the damage. I think not. He admited his mistake and took full blame for his actions. End Of.

Dunfermline is not in the same situation as Rangers was. Yes they owe the taxman but I think someone will come along and pay that bill. The rest of their debt, as CaleyD says, is loans given by people close to the club. What the club really needs to survive is for Yorkston to cut his losses and hand over control to the Lieshman syndicate or a buyer willing to take on the debt. If that doesnt happen then I believe they will die. Someone may start a new club in Dunfermline but it wont start as a Scottish league club. It wont be a newco. Instead I feel that if those owed monies decide to pursue their claim the grounds will be sold off. Probably to put a few new houses there. Personally I think it would be very sad if Dunfermline FC disappears.

Terry already tld us in his interview after the game that he expects to foot the bill. As for the cost I'd suggest its quite cheap.

DD, if my mental arithmetic is correct it is impossible for us to finish ninth at the split. For that to happen we need to be overtaken by five teams below us and each of those teams must take points of each other at some stage.

Were you at the Dundee game?

I know who it'll be as far as CTO is concerned.................the one who accumulates the most points in matchday polls.

Trying to analyse this closely. For us to go out of top six we need to be overtaken by three of the five teams below us. St J have two to play and would need two points from those games. Hibs need five points from nine. DU need six points from nine. Aberdeen and Killie both need seven from nine. Killie away to County and home to St Mirren and Dundee...........I can only see them get a max six points. Aberdeen away to Celtic home to Hearts and away to DU...........Realistically they may get four points. DU home to Dundee away to St J and home to Aberdeen...........For them to gain six needed they will have cancelled out either StJ or Aberdeen. Hibs away Motherwell home to Us and away Celtic.....................The most I see them getting there is two points St J have home to DU and away to us.......................................If they win both then they may overtake us but will have cancelled out DU's chances. Killie ruled out of top six. Aberdeen also ruled out. Hibs ruled out from overtaking us and may struggle to stay in top half. So, and I know miracles can happen, being realistic, and basing analyses on how those teams are faring at the moment, I cant see a permutation that will dislodge us from top six.

As I wrote in 'SAFE' thread Looking at the table as it stands right now the bottom three cannot make top six. Of the next three Dundee United possibly have the most realistic chance of making it. We have six points on Killie but they have a very difficult awayday to Dingwall so I dont envisage them being a threat. Aberdeen have an awayday to Celtic and DU and based on performances I dont see them getting more than a point from those fixtures. Our next three games are against County, Hibs and St Johnstone and that is where our destiny lies. It is in our own hands which position we are in at the split but it wont be bottom six.
