Enough is enough now, our chairman MUST be responsible for the pish that we have to endure week in, week out so he HAS to be replaced! 

How can we expect promotion when the ass sells a striker in the last few hours without getting a replacement plus nobody knows what is happening at the club because he tells us nothing, yet our new vice chairman is saying that things will change, well, it doesn't look like it!! 

Tuesday is a big game and tbh, it should be the one that determines the managers position, lose and he'll have to go, win and he deserves a new contract.  But to be fair, he deserves credit for the job he's doing with the dross he's got at his disposal .

4 wins in 19 is just pathetic!

You know what, if we could experience last night on a more regular basis with football passion and crowd atmosphere i doubt if anyone would be bothered who was on the board or how they performed.

Aye if we could actually get in...lol

Re turnstiles, I believe that the person due to man the left hand gate was taken ill.  But yeah, we need to be smarter than this on such a big night.  Again, I think it is volunteers but we should have some kind of continuity plan to deal with an emergency like this as it can detract from what was, let's face it, one of the best games we have had for quite some time!!!!

I'm sure this won't be allowed to happen again, now the club are ware of the potential issue.

Under 20s not normally do the gates?

There is a mad obsession on any football forum for sacking the board when things are not going well ....

I haven't logged onto the Toronto FC boards yet this morning (dreading it) .... but after going down 4-0 last night in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League to an unfancied Panamanian side and now having to score 5 at BMO field in Toronto next week to progress, I expect to see multiple discussions to sack the board, the manager, the kitman, everyone ... and also to sign about 20 players that people will name to solve the issue of replacing the departed Sebastian Giovinco, Victor Vazquez and Gregory Van Der Wiel ..... its not an ICT thing or a Scottish thing, its a football thing. It happens whether you are a poor club or a rich club, its just the logic and rationale that are different.

For me, Kingsmills hit it on the head as quoted below ... you can call to sack the board if you want but before you do make that knee-jerk reaction perhaps you should have a clear idea of what or who you want as a replacement and what they can bring to the table. In ICT terms, after a few years of being ostentatious in some peoples eyes, we are now cutting our cloth to suit our level right now and everything is magnified because we were operating at a higher level until recently.  As with Kingsmills, I have my own opinion on the current board based on my interactions with some of the members over the last couple of years but not in 'sack the board' territory just yet !!! I look forward to seeing the shareholder accounts very soon to see if there are concerns over the stewardship of the club. If they steady the ship then look to put us back on an upward path then I have no concerns.

'Sack the Board' may be a good thread title but, speaking as one who has been highly critical of the current regime, you can only ' Sack the Board' if there are people with sufficient funds to replace them. I don't see many people with the odd two or three million pounds to spare queing up, do you ?

Email is sorted . Up and running . Myself on the other hand has a heed like a box of rockets after going a bit mental last night.

Spoke to Yvonne CEO, and she ll be getting copied in to help me direct questions , requests etc.  

Usual service will resume the morn.

What a game !!!! If Carlsberg made Scottish Cup replays.

So do we not have an SLO for these things anymore, or have you taken over as the SLO?

Barred for inappropriate touching IMO

On the West Stand queery There is no real problem about standing there , its just about stewarding.  I ve suggested we re allocate stewards but it would be helpful of you could put any requests to the email address [email protected]  I can then forward them on to whoever and can hopefully get them dealt with.  Also I ll lose any questions on the forum cos of scrolling through and missing things. You know what I mean.

Anyway you now know where I am . There s no hiding place !!

Why do we even need stewards in the west? I only remember one pitch invasion from the west the day we won the league against StJ and got promotion to the prem. I've already put my suggestions on this site as to why the west should be open to standing supporters which you have read why switch to a different thread/email which is not in the public domain? Don't wish to be judgemental but are you kicking it into the long grass perhaps? What's wrong with publishing responses on this forum?

Whilst it is true to say people from the club do read this site, and at times do comment, we are not an official communication channel. One of the board directors - who was a site member long before being a director - is inviting questions to his official club email address and saying he will answer or pose those to others. He has already answered some of the questions posed on here so far from kicking things into the long grass, I would say he is mowing that grass to try and make a smooth path !  As they say, dont look a gift horse in the mouth - especially when one of the complaints people have is a lack of communication ! 

 

 

Why should some people change their ways on this forum. Lets cheese off anybody who tries to bring about positives.

It's about balance. Constant carping and negativity is tedious and very wearing but constant and uncritical 'happy clapping' is just about as bad and possibly more dangerous.

I have been critical of poor communication in recent times but the new channel mentioned by Scotty is a very welcome development.

Yes I could afford a proper haircut and styling. Tech boys had a bowl cut at Diggers and Millburn got sheared with the farm animals.
