Guest DustyDeviada Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I thought Rowson was a decent utility player for the Dons. We've got better players now, but he did OK. I don't think you can really blame him for moving on, Stoke were a team on the up at the time so it was worth having a crack down south. A shame it didn't work out for him, I always feel sorry for players when their careers go tits up and the end up having to play for teams like Partick Thistle.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ach bollocks, De Vries is away to Wales, joining Mason in the ever-growing list of defectors who are actually good. We're good for enxt season though, Greg Paterson has signed a new contract...It's only to be expected, a relegated team is never going to survive virgo intacta. At least Tango hasn't come in for his annual swoop and De Vries didn't go to another Scottish team. There's a rumour that the tattie-munchers are sniffing round Adam Hammill as well. I still reckon we can do the business next season.An optimistic Pars fan, whatever next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, why not be optimistic, I reckon we've still got the best squad in the league. Even without Mason. Bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as bastardesque as Mason is, there's worse places in the SPHell he could have gone.....On a side note, after reading the latest Programme Monthly, I'm hoping we don't draw Clyde away in any of the cups. Not only do they not bother with a full programme for cup games, they don't issue AT ALL (shudder) for Challenge Cup games. Absolute sacrilege!You a programme collector, Stichman?

RossP Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 TAKEN FROM THE DAILY RANGERFRENCH football bosses face a security nightmare after the Tartan Army invaded their Euro 2008 ticket sales.The French Federation's website crashed under the strain yesterday morning as Scotland supporters rushed to secure briefs for the Parc des Princes crunch on September 12.The SFA were given only 3500 tickets at prices of up to 82 to distribute to visiting fans through the official Travel Club.But it's now estimated there could be up to 15,000 Scots in the ground after tickets for the French end were made freely available online, without restrictions.A spokeswoman for the French Federation admitted they were unlikely to turn away Scots fans who had booked online, with many ordering up to six tickets each.Asked if they would be allowed entry, she said: "I guess so - we've had no problems before."I honestly couldn't believe how easy it was to get 8 tickets, in the home end. I've always wondered what it feels like to be a Rangers or Celtic fan living in Aberdeen or Inverness.... Now i have a slight inclination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm not exactly surprised: would you rather spend 40 odd quid for a cheap seat in the away end when you can grab one in the home end for 20 euros?Hoh hee hoh!Links Park tomorrow night.

Scorge Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Montrose won 2-0 last night......Ross - Buchanan was one of our better players: put together a few good runs, but didn't have his shooting boots on.

RossP Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Going to Borough Briggs tonight to see Elgin City v. ICT According to the Official ICT website we have 4 trialists training with us at the moment, including UEFA Cup finalist Marius Niculae. Loads of rumours that he's playing tonight :love::love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 NICULAE?? the romanian ex sporting lisbon?CM 99/00 LEGENDnever in a million yearssurely not?The very same If you can be arsed reading all the information/inside 'scoops'/gossip etc, there is a whole thread from the CaleyThistle Messageboard here'Inverness hold Niculae talks'Here's the lowdown on all our trialists... (not a dutchman in sight!)International Trials are usually held in the Hague, but this week the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium will play host to football trials featuring up to 7 players of 5 different nationalities as Charlie Christie gets back to work after a successful pre-season Italy trip and seeks to strengthen the defence and forward line for the coming season and possibly add to the U19 squad for the future. Marius Niculae (fwd): Romanian International striker Marius Niculae (26) is possibly the most high profile of the names and certainly one that has been discussed at length in the press and on here. According to various websites (and a taxi driver on the forums !) he is back in Inverness with a view to tying up a deal that was looking less and less likely a week ago.Dominique Taboga (def): Dominique (24) is one of two Austrians who were due to come on trial prior to the club trip to Italy but this was postponed after he was injured. He currently plays for Austrian second division side SC Kapfenberg.Benedict Bauer (fwd): Benny (20) is a young striker who is currently on the books with Austrian side Admira Wacker who – it will please some fans to know – play in a strip that is half red and half black ! In a scenario that seems to mirror at least some of the events at Hearts, an Iranian businessman bought the club in 2004 and has installed several Iranian players as well as a well known Iranian manager as part of the club executive.Martin Pusic (fwd): Martin Pusic (19) comes on trial from Austria Vienna, the same side that gave Filip Sebo to the SPL. He doesn’t appear on their squad lists and very little information is available elsewhere so we assume he may be in one of their youth sides.Phil Marsh (def/fwd): On the face of it, Phil (20) appears to be an intriguing trialist and if he is any good he may be worthy of snapping up. Phil started his career at the Manchester United academy as a striker but during the 2005/06 season was moved to the right back position in the reserve team where – according to the Man Utd website – he became an “integral part of United’s backline as the reserves stormed to the treble”. He appeared once for the full Man Utd team in a Carling Cup match against Crewe where he started alongside Alan Smith but was subbed at half time. Andrew McNulty (gk): With Michael Fraser installed as the #1 choice and Ally Ridgers as backup, Andrew would appear to be one who is being looked at with a view to the future. There is no information available about the 17 year old Irishman The Mystery Frenchman (def): Who he is, nobody knows ... well Charlie and Graeme Bennett do but they arent saying .... as discussions are apparently ongoing .... watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Holy shit! We've got him Caley pull off Niculae coup - Inverness CT - TEAMtalk Football NewsThis could be the best or the worst thing to happen to us ever. Hopefully we'll get 1 or 2 brilliant season's out of him before he joins a Championship/Premiership team. No doubt he'll either get injured or get snapped up by the old firm though...Think i might cream myself if he's at Borough Briggs tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
