Dear Mr Adams Junior, TV evidence makes it clear Charlie was hit by a Swiss Roll. Foot on foot. Iain Brines was therefore 100% correct in awarding the mighty ICT, home of a Bridge and Castle, a penalty. TV evidence also shows the Brora Rangers star, Rossco Tokely, gave us a fair penalty too. Equally, a few weeks back, young Shinnie was caught late and we should have had a penalty at the Strathconon Sands Stadium at the Wendy House end. You'll no get Manager of the Month for March!! It was fun seeing your unbeaten record end in the Heart of the Highlands. Seasonal Greetins from ICT

you know whats an even greater sign of a good manager? breaking club records. butchers broken them all more or less, and he still takes stick, for things us ameteurs think he should be doing better.

Has nobody but me noticed that the home grown under-20 players are not perceived as nearly as good as under-20 loanees and signings from English teams? Much more sensible, it seems, in the Butcher mindset, to improve English loanees than to improve our own young players...after all an improved loanee will possibly get an English team more money. when they move on...so we might get more of them to improve.....while we, in the meantime, dunt our own kids with no improvement....or return to our coffers. I think everybody but you has noticed that today we have acheived a top 6 finish for the first time in the club's history. Butcher must be doing something right don't you think?

.....I told you so!!! That is all.

How much better as a team and unit do we look with Foran in the side though, its no conincidence in my mind that the team fights more in games when we have him in the side - starting with the fightback in Dundee last wk and his performance on Sat was excellent if undramatic, doing the dirty work of breaking up the play. Bad news for Esson picking up an injury and hope its not too serious, but I have to admit I perfer seeing Rugero in goal this season after that long run it just makes the backline more confident - although that could be down to the lack of game time with Esson in goal and time required to build the same levels for familiarisation. At the game I couldnt tell with the penalty call - but seeing it on TV, its a stonewaller. Overall on the balance of play we deserved to win I thought, although had County had Brittain playing t may have been different - IMO he is as important to RC as Foran is to us.

I've just realised soemthing. We'll have to play Motherwell again.

Great game to watch as a neutral,thought Hearts might just do something at the end, but pleased for St Mirren.Great to see Killie last year, now the buddies get something for their fans to cheer about. Refreshing to see and so much better than the usual suspects who take success for granted and just see cups as a point scoring exercise over each other.

I actually think the next best signature should be Antonio Reguero. With Essen this season we have won just one game. Antonio should be our next priority I hope along with Owen and Dave the Rave. Both Antonio and Dave have benefited from ICT's great history at rehabilitating players careers.

Oddquine, these who aren't already will get their chance in due course....when the manager deems them ready. I would love for us to be producing a half dozen new players every season from the youth ranks, but it doesn't work like that.....not here, and not at many other clubs. In fact, I think we do pretty well to take a few through every season...and if even one or two of those "make it" then all the better. Also keep in mind that many of our most talented youngsters are poached from under our nose before they ever get to that stage and there's nothing we can do about it because we simply can't afford to match the money being offered by the "academies" down south. Do you think that Terry is just holding on to the young players that come through our own ranks for fits and giggles? If, as you seem to think, he has no interest in them...then why not just let them go? He had £300k (yes, three hundred thousand pounds) knocked off his player budget this season. So I very much doubt the he's bringing in any players on "much higher wages" than anyone else....old or young, local or otherwise.

Buckie Thistle till the end of the season I believe.

The best thing about this hot tub hospitality is that you wouldn't miss any of the game if you needed a pee.

The bottom line could be that they simply are not good enuff for the SPL. Some of the loanees have had first team experience with their clubs. But TB does appear to have the habit of freezing some out when they actually look useful - the main one being Pepper.

The season is far from over yet and there is still a lot of work to do. We have to maintain a high standard up to the very last game which could be a significant occasion. Happy clappers should not rest on their laurels and performances can still be open to constructive criticism. When you look back on this season, especially when you consider how doubtful we were at the onset, this will go down as the most successful ever - and it could and should get better. But overall TB has achieved considerably more positives than negative and the proof is in the pudding. As fer CaleyD well I always thought that he was a prophetic ****

I think you, more than anyone, has the right to say "I told you so". I think I may change my username to TrebleNextYear.

Love it!

It's the mark of a very small man to make some kind of wee dig at someone, possibly under your breath, as you walk away from them. Adams seems to be one such person and comes across as nothing but pathetic and childish.

Belter of a weekend- Beating County, leapfrogging them in the league, Adams' seeth, top six comfirmed, Hearts beaten in the final, scored a free bottle of Whisky. Might even try my luck with the missus at this rate...

Thank you Dundee, helped us win Division 1 and now have aided us in our top 6 finish.

The latest in a line of classic comments from the tool The best one was on BBC Radio Scotland the evening before the cup game when he claimed that "we have different morals" in that they focus on local players. Cue January and the binning of some local players and signing of four overseas players?? He forgets the penalty in the last game which even though the forth official and Butcher admitted was too far away to know one way or the other he managed to see that it was a definite dive. The free kick yesterday before their goal was also a bit suspect, however no mention of this. He clearly is a little man with a big chip and I'm sure with man management skills like his he will do great at Aberdeen

Couldn't resist
