Play off final 2nd leg (ict 1-2 Accies)

 

Comfortably Numb

 

Pink Floyd wrote this song about the club we have followed since it's inception in August 1994. The first two verses (Hello & Come on Now) are about the fans speaking to the club and getting no replies, then asking through the Trust if everything is OK. Relax is the board questioning the fans about the hurt that has been caused by mis-management and not listening to our views and then replying and stating our insignificance. OK & Stand Up are the solutions to our problems. The final verse in bold is about the board ignoring the warning signs and that is why we are on the verge of disappearing into the abyss.

Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

I have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more ah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown
The dream is gone......

We have become comfortably numb :ictscarf:😢 💀 👀

Listen for yourself, it's all in here>>>

The hurt, the pain, the reluctance and pig-headedness to listen to the fans asking what is going on, the lack of communication, the lack of ambition, the stench of mismanagement, the concert company, the battery farm, the demise since winning the Scottish Cup in 2015, the lack of passion, the lack of commitment, the dwindling fanbase, the lack of leadership. It has left the fans comfortably numb: a state of severe alienation and burnout. When the pressures of life and the evils, insanity and corruption of the outside world are too much and you build a mental wall and you shut yourself out from everything and everyone. You just want to retreat by watching TV or listening to music a LOT to take you from your inner pain but your attention span is so minimized you may wind up on the couch looking up at the ceiling and constantly changing TV channels with the remote. Certain scenes or sounds may bring up painful emotions and make you cry. (urban dictionary)

A bit about the game: We lost 2-1 at New Douglas Park on Wednesday night. An incredibly inventive goal from Kevin O'Hara or a comedy of errors from an Inverness point of view saw us go one down in the sixth minute. Another dubious goal saw us two down with Ridgers claiming he was being impeded. We could have lost a third in that first half horror show had Graham Grainger spotted Wallace Duffy blocking a shot with his arm. Enter Samson Lawal and suddenly things began to look better, and even more better when Aribim Pepple scored with his first touch after 68 minutes. Game on and all to play for on Saturday as we start the game one goal down. Danny Devine won't take part after rolling his ankle on the halfway line. All are in agreement that Lawal and Pepple should play a bigger part, but will anyone listen to us. I won't hold my breath. It's our final game of this season, win or lose. It could be a defining game in the history of this club. What on earth have we become...

Less of this>>>
Off the post, off the head of Ridgers and into the back of the net! Hamilton take the lead! pic.twitter.com/WY6JtjdaCh

Here's Waiting for Dunc and pre-match>>>

Probably because he hadn't realised until the final whistle that we were so bad even god couldn't help

A board member confirmed to me last night that Ferguson is on a 6 month rolling contract, rather than the 3 year deal he keeps referring to in interviews. Based on recent rumours it would sound like it would cost between 130-150k to pay him off. If the guy had any class at all he'd walk today but you can guarantee he'll hang on in there and pocket the pay-off he ill deserves and clearly doesn't need. His post-match comments were beyond belief.

It's fairly standard for managers to have a 6 month pay-off in their contracts, even if they do have multiple year deals.  This means the club control the cost of sacking them and they can't walk away early without the club getting whatever transfer valuation is also in the contract.

There are those on here who refuse to believe otherwise but this was the same with Yogi and Foran.

To round off the season, here's our goals from Relegation Day

 

There was an interview with the manager after the match on Saturday. Why is this not up and available online yet?. Seems like the press and journalists have more of an insight to what the manager is thinking than the fans. This is absolutely unacceptable !

Might sound like captain obvious here, but it was painfully clear that a majority of the "fans" who pitch invaded to confront the Accies fans were one timers who've probably watched Green Street one too many times and likely have never set foot inside the stadium before or will again.

Compared to the real fans who all went over to the touchline to make our voices known and let the players still there that we weren't making them out as targets. Hell, even Samuel apologised to the few fans waiting out front of the ground when he left.

Did you say “Green Street” or “Grant Street”?😂

It seems to be generally accepted that fans can come on to pitches at the end of a season to celebrate an achievement, without repercussions. We’ve done it home and away (Ayr) and at least one team had previously celebrated on our pitch (Dundee Utd). I don’t recall any trouble at those, and I don’t begrudge giving Hamilton fans the opportunity to celebrate their promotion.
You can blame the club or stewards, but surely it also comes down to individuals taking responsibility for their own conduct.

Partick were also on our pitch last day as well back in the early 2000s .. our fans were applauding them mind you we hadn 't just been relegated

Went to a few matches towards the end of the season :

  • No apparent urgency considering our increasingly perilous position.
  • Clueless going forward : no idea what to do from 30 yards in.
  • No fight. A glaring example was Hamilton's second goal in the first leg : there were four or 5 ICT defenders around the 6 yard box and none of them jumped or made any effort to attack the ball, watching the Hamilton player as he scored with no challenge.
  • No shape / plan / leader.
  • Team made up of individuals and it showed horribly.

 

Truly truly awful : we need people in charge who have a passion for the club as we did in our first 20 years.
