MacDougall and Hastie after him?

They would be better received than some old fuddy duddy.

I would have none of them to be honest.

Neil Lennon's aftermatch interview was ridiculous. He reckons that everyone at Celtic FC has acted with total dignity this year

great pic from the bbc website, hope this doesn't break any copyright mumbo jumbo, credit where it's due tot he pic blah blah blah. ICT through and though, lets hope both guys can get in at county to save relocation and up-heaving everyone too far!

Gary Brady looked a decent player. Potter also would have been a decent signing but if we're releasing Munro and Duncan, then it's just not in ICT's plans to go down that established veteran route. Ubern: if we're dismissing players simply because they got relegated (or, in this case, didn't), then we should sack Esson, Tokely, Munro, Foran, Ross, Rooney etc etc, all of whom were playing for a club that got relegated a couple of seasons ago and were in the SFL1 last season. If they were worse than St Mirren and Hamilton, why should we have kept them? Or is it not that simple? And just where should we be aiming for then? Have a look at where our players come from. We've not outbid Manchester City for the left-winger at Barcelona. They're mostly cast-offs from lower teams or players with no chance of making the grade where they are. Picking diamonds out of, er, "mud" is what teams like ICT are all about.

I would be amazed if we didnt give him a testimonial. Grant has been at the club for around 14 years and his loyalty, dedication and unfaltering effort should be rewarded appropriately with a testimonial. Really hope something is being organised and if it isnt then questions need to be asked.

"Please Mr Butcher, give me another chance to win a contract. You didn't see my best in that trial because I was played out of position by that halfwit of a manager. It was really hard to play as an attacking left midfielder, in the hole, whilst also tracking back to right back. Especially as I'm a ****ing goalkeeper!"

I came up with an answer to the problem with the split which actually solves another problem...more on the second problem at the end. The problem with the current split is that teams in the bottom half cannot climb any further than 7th and top half drop below 6th. You then have the argument about our situation where our points tally would have taken us to 5th....and the counter argument that it's maybe in part due to "easier" competition in the closing games. So, how do we get a split (to maintain fixture numbers) where teams can still move freely up and down the table without the easier/harder games argument? Well, you don't split it top and bottom..... Instead you take the league places after 33 games and you split into two groups of odd placings and even placings. Those in places 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 11 form one group, the rest another group. This means that the level of competition across the remaining 5 fixtures is spread across all levels and as such you can justify allowing teams to move freely up and down the ladder based on the points they earn. The other problem it (likely) solves is that you don't have the worry of an OF title decider (Police don't want it, SPL are scared of it). As they are going to be, more often than not, 1 & 2 after 33 games they will be in different groups. If they are 1 & 3 then someone is splitting them and any OF match isn't likely to be a title decider so a lot less tension involved.

Completely disagree with a couple of the comments made about senior fans. Despite CaleyD stating, quite correctly that over 60s don't have a monopoly in supporting years at ICT, they have probably contributed loyally throughout many years to both of the clubs from which ICT was formed. If we hadn't supported our teams, then ICT would not exist. We have earned our spurs and do deserve age reductions. Thanks too for the ill thought out comment about senior folk getting it all. Apparently all our mortgages are paid off, kids flown the nest and no longer relying on us......dream on...this will all come to you someday soon, and it ain't like that. Of course they deserve discounts, most have worked for over 40 years and contributed huge amounts to the economy. By the way do you want to work until your 75? I doubt it. When Government recognise that 60 is the time to give free bus passes and other entertainment recognises 60 as concession time then so should ICT.

Not sure but most clubs would have recognised the service and granted a testimonial a long time ago , poor show by ICT IMHO .

Can the chanters chant and sit down or will they just annoy the full price paying customers in Section E?. Their language certainly needs to be modified. Do we really want foul mouthed anti-social yobs in our family friendly club?
