Watching Proc play this season, I'm not convinced his normal five senses are in full working order...

Oh well, there's nothing like never letting up on a player who has actually served ICT well in past years. Sure makes one feel better about our team doesn't it? And, from all accounts, his last game was much better wasn't it? C'mon guys, as far as spirits are concerned I wonder if the ones you sometimes seem to favour are those out of a bottle? O.K. Last chance gulch. Let's have a spirited riposte to wake us up a wee bit.

Your story regarding Caldwell is typical of the attempts to justify mediocrity and a clear example of why players are the problem not the solution. Caldwell could quite easily have come out and said: 'Despite the fact that others in the club are being paid a ridiculous amount of money that is ludicrous, I am more than happy to continue my career on a mere £400k plus bonuses. Perhaps others within the game may chose to follow my example.' He didn't. He, like the rest of them, demanded obscene money and justified (as you are doing) by saying it is the same as everyone else. Until a player of intelligence and stature has the gumption to come out make a stance our game will continue in the same manner. Sad. Equally, as long as intelligent supporters like you seek excuses for players behaviour we are doomed. There was (and rightly so) a public clamour for bankers to be denied bonuses which led to Stephen Hester refusing in excess of a £1m. I see little difference in the behaviour of fat cat bankers and fat cat footballers. In the vast majority of cases they are delivering a sub standard product and lining their own pockets at the expense of the masses. Equally, in both cases, they have apologists. I am not one. What your post also highlights is how incorrect I was in stating that average players can earn in excess of £500 kpa. Caldwell earned in excess of £1 million if you are correct!

Laugh? my ribs are aching!!! between this and the rangersmedia forum, I've never laughed so much since, the wife fell into a peat bog at Loch Awe, Laugh, I nearly bought a drink!!

You mean...he sees dead people? That will explain why hes been chasing ghosts all season!

Robbo and Terry probably would but their allegiances to the warring factors would never allow it. As for coaching I would have to say that wee Parkie was the influence in a good partnership - a pairing that was considerably better than Pele and Shearer and put Terry and Mo in to third place. Butcher is the most charismatic character by far but tactically he is lacking. Perhaps it is a sign that you need a forward minded coach in the system.

I'd rather have Tokley and Proctor in the team than out at the moment. At least both these blokes play for the shirt and will give 100% over 90 minutes unlike the shirkers yesterday. We have too many fancy imports who don't give a stuff about ICT.

Change, change, change - how are we ever going to settle ?!!
