I met him a few times when he was assistant manager and stayed up Castle Heather way, he always took the time to say hello and have a wee chat about the previous/upcoming game. Seemed like a thoroughly decent guy.

Who's Rhoda Boat??

When we field the partnership of Wyness and Niculae, that is pretty much the only time we win games. Wyness is a clever, intelligent player and worth 2 Graham Baynes and half a dozen McAllisters. Apart from that I pretty much agree with the other ratings. Could IHE's detractors please voice thier opinions of him either directly to himself or to board moderators or keep them to themselves. There's no need to turn every thread into a personal grudge match.

I'll take that ahead of glory hunting I suppose! I've wanted to comment on many of the topics posted on here but they tend to degenerate into something along the lines of, "Get Brewster out..." followed by "Shut up, get behind your team..." etc. etc. The Hearts game was the turning point for me but the Chester nonsense just sealed it. I'm afraid I will not be at another game this season. I am tempted to say I wont be at another game while Brewster is there but I know thats not true. What's the point?

While this season will not result in relegation for us I for one cannot wait until it's over. I don't really want the football season to finish but I just can't stand watching our team lurch from losing another 3 points without any semblance of fight, desire, teamspirit, passion or sense of footballing ability to behind the scenes nonsensical power struggles and ego trips to shambolic situations such as the whole Chester City farce (whether this is our own doing or not is irrelevant, its just one more thing to add to a joke of a season). Before anyone thinks this is just another fan greeting I should add that I do not expect ICT to finish in the top half of the SPL each season and I do regard staying in the SPL as priority and am grateful that we are still in the Scottish football's top league. I also admire the board's ethos of not taking us down a route that will end up putting us in dire financial straits. However... Whatever has/is going on at board level that is causing so much unrest, I urge all individual board members to step back a little and consider the club, where it is, where it has come from and what is in the clubs best interests, if this means individuals backing down or eating humble pie for the benefit of ICT then please be an adult have the courage and dignity to do so. As for the management, well I was never in favour of Mr. Brewster being brought back to the club, this is not a personal matter whatsoever, I do not want to nor enjoy watching the ICT management team prove that they are simply not good enough for the job. A good player and fitness coach Mr. Brewster may be but this does not make him a good manager, many good managers were not very good players, the two do not equate at all. I also am led to believe (from numerous sources) that Mr. Brewster is a slightly arrogant individual with an unrequired ego. I am aware that all managers have a different style but do not think that being arrogant towards players (or anyone you work with) is a good way to conduct yourself. George Burley is an example of a manager who seems very humble and approachable yet has the unconditional respect of the players he is involved with. I am also told that Mr. Brewster asked the players how they would feel if he was to bring back Mr. Thomson as his assistant and that the response from several players was more than negative yet these opinions were ignored and Mr. Thomson was, as we unfortunatly know, given the position. As for the players ,well as usual, as a fan I am pretty happy overall with the vast majority who I think have tried hard to do thier best within a situation they are likely not overly happy with. I do not want to see Dennis leave the club and think he has been treated appalingly by the management and club, if he leaves I wouldn't blame him but would urge him to stay and win that new contract as I do believe he will. There are several playes who I feel are not good enough and should be thanked for thier services and then politely show the door, unfortunatly the management do not feel the same way about the same players, but I am a fan and as such my opinion is just that. There are also a few players who I do think are good enough but who should be dropped for a little and made to regain thier places. Then there are those who are nothing more than a negative influence and should be binned ASAP before the little team spirit we have left is totally eradicated. Whether it is Hamilton or Dundee who go up next season both are highly likely to stay up. No team who has gone up from the first division has immediately gone back down (bar of course Gretna which is, for want of a better term, a unique case), it is a teams second season in the top flight which will always be more difficult. The current situation at our club concerns me greatly and I am very concerned about our top flight status for next season as if things carry on the way the have since the start of the year we WILL be relegated. I haven't really commented on all the other threads discussing many of these matters and apologise that this thread makes for such depressing reading, I don't expect the majority of other supportes to agree with my post, nor do I care, I just wanted to get all my ICT concerns of my chest at once. Finally may I say resisting the urge to litter this post with profanities took a lot of doing! Thank you for reading!

I'd love to see Mr.Sutherland back at ICT. I remember him coming into the crowd when our cup game against killie was called off after 27mins to let the supporters know how angry he was. I swear he was more p1ss3d off than most of the fans! (I was too drunk to be annoyed!) He was a good chairman and a fan with the best interests of the club at heart IMO.

You might be able to get a sense of humour on Ebay if you're lucky

We more than likely lost them as well

Indeed... It is also written on the 1st of april and mentions a noon deadline :014:

If this is true lets hope Dennins doesn't sign a contract elsewhere seeing as his issue is with brew and not the club. I know which one I (and the majority of us) wold rather see leave.

"Malky honey... do you fancy moving to do gretna?" :sillywave:

Provided we have a good fitness coach I'll be happy just to be shot of brew

One of the best posts I've ever read on this site. MacBandy as you seem a fairly articulate fellow perhaps you could communicate these views to the powers that be at the club in an email or letter? May help alter attitudes a little... Keep on singin! :sillywave:

Try a sports bar, if there is a walkabout near you they'll have a few different games on. Not that I care - I'll be at Hampden!! :blah01: :sillywave:

There are a few players who when you chat to them their passion for ICT is evident, Rossco is one as is Grant Munro and Micheal Fraser (not saying there are not others - just going by personal experience). I'd rather have these players in an ICT shirt than someone who feels we're just a stepping stone or that they should be somewhere bigger. Nice one Rossco, hope Denzil wont be too far behind. :clapping03: :021:

**** just contradicted myself :029:

I don't post cos you're all a bunch o' wierdo's :alien04: Now me and the banana are off to get back to work, **** here comes the boss! :dancing01:

This season has been one of the most depressing I recall. I think we should be favourites for relegation next season.

Not your day eh mate! We lost your sheep, we got absolutely gubbed on the field and then you errrrr missed your train!! When did you get out?

Manager sacked after 1 win this year :029:
