Bronson

I don't expect to see us challenging for the title or europe, but i do expect to see a manager who has some idea of what's going on and 11 players who give nothing less than 100%. - but im afraid that simply isn't happening. But i cant work out why there has been such a change. Players like duncan demanding higher wages because he played through the lower leagues with the team, yet continues to be in my opinion our most consistent player of the season (consistently poor). What turns my stomach is how russell has conducted himself through the press and quotes from his agent. It all leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I know that Wyness was disappointed to hear that Brewster was coming back. I think Brewster made it clear last time that he didn't fancy wyness. Dennis is a confinence player. He managed to go on a good scoring run then got injured. While scoring Brewster can hardly drop him, but once wyness is injured it appears brewster is relucantto place any faith in Dennis. The team selections are baffling. Go back to aberdeen game some months ago. Ritchie Hart hadn't been seen or heard of for long enough, yet starts the game, then doesnt even make squad again. Pantyliner, works hard to feature in squad, starts off on bench, then after couple of decent appearances makes the first team. Has one bad game last week and then he's left out of squad altogether. Brewster really is baffling me. Compare the managers today and decide which one wanted the win more and how they motivated their team from the sidelines. At the hearts game the home support was fantastic till the point where the self destruct button was pressed, yet after the game Brewster critisised the supporters. Today the group of boys I've been taking to games for years actually asked to leave early as the football served up in recent weeks has been so poor. If we don't get a result against kille on sat, then lose our customary game against the dons, we really could be in the shecht. Esp as the gretna situation could explode in our face at any time. I think Brewtser could end up being the first ict manager to be sacked.

Got to say i agree with all ofthe above. I think Brewsters time is fast running out.

whatever

Not been online for a few days and the first thread i see is one re Marius being selected for romanian squad. I was well chuffed for the guy and when i read the thread i was disapointed to see another thread turned into squabbling over our romanian connections and team formations. Its really starting to get tedious folks, and it is no wonder a lot of posters have turned their backs on this site. or those concered, give it a rest, its getting boring.

why does every thread always have toreturn to slagging someone, something off? This thread is not about romanian building contracts, the team formation or about brewsters system being played around individual players. That should be done on one of the other 10 million negative threads on this forum. This thread is simply to say well done Marius, so lets a least be big enough to congratulate the guy, regardless of other circumstances at the club. Well done Marius and i for one hope you do well and hope yourperformance leads to some posters on here eating a large piece of humble pie.

Wow, not a single poster has an opinion on one of our only positive stories of recent months. If this was a thread to slag any random player, bet it would be into its 9th page by now! :008: :020:

Read an article in todays P&J re Ross Tokely. Ross was interviewed and spoke about being having to decide between a new contract at ICT or possibly moving to english team. He goes on to say that he's very settled in sneck and is proud of what he has achieved in his time here. He also says that the grass is not always greener. With all the talk of players not happy with new offers it was refreshing to hear him say He didn't feel he needed an agent to negotiate his new deal with club. Although Ross may not be every suporters cup of tea, hats off to him for showing loyalty to the club. I only wish every player had the same positive outlook. I would post a link but i'm a bit thick when it coms to these things. maybe someone else could !!!

It was indeed good to catch up with several folk i've not seen for a while. Especially, Riley, Mooncat and a surprisingly hairy Beastie!

Like the majority of fans, i didn't want CB back, however i was happy to offer suport and credit where it was due. If Brewster is allowed to reap the plaudits when things go well then i think he should also be man enough to accept responsibility when things go tits up. I think his days are numbered.

Don't we haveprivate messages to stop clogging up the threads with this sort of stuff?

Read with interest that Calderwood says his team must win tom night if they areto finish 3rd this season. Think the man is slightly deluded.

I have been looking after doresboy's flag for a couple of seasons now. Seem to remember him moaning about it (after game in Dumfries) being too heavy for him to carry from pub to pub, so i offered to look after it. The boys that i take to the football then took responsability for it and it appeared at every home game in the uncovered wing of the stand (wheneverspace permitted). It has even travelled to every away ground in premier and 1st division. Only ground we weren't allowed to display it were at Ibrox and parkhead. (one parkhead steward let me put it up but his supervisor rushed over and insisted we remove it! However during a particularly windy day (think it was defeat by dundee utd 0-3), a gust caught it and damgaged it slightly and its been in retirement since then. I'll dig it out and see if it'll be fit or a day out!! :003:

Am i the only one who was baffled by our squad today? Apparently Wyness was injured so fair dos, but to completley exclude Wilson from the squad, and to take off Niculae when he was as effective as the next person, esp when we're chasing the game doesn't make sense. I thought Duncan and McBain were poor today, but i was impressed with Imrie and Paaty. A draw was prob a fair result. Did i see we didn't have a single shot on target in the 1st half?? A barnstorming last 10minutes, but why do we have to concede a goal before we make the effort?

After watching us squander cross after cross again, i wonder why we are so poor in this area. We have a number of strong solid players who should be getting goals from corners, long throws and free kicks. The likes of tokely, mcguire, munro, bayne, niculae should all be scoring from decent balls into the box, but it never seems to work that way. I winced as i watched Blacks terrible short corner which travelled about 5 yards, Cowies corner that failed to beat the first defender. (its almost like we aim for the first defender!) From the aformentioned corner, utd went straight up the pitch and scored. Tokely also put a cross into deep space, but to be fair the ball took a horrendous bobble. If we could get decent balls in the box we could be adding an extr 10 to 15 goals a season.

I remember taking a lad i used to wrk with who is a wheelchair user to a big game (think it was semi final at hampden). He had an ict flag with pole, which on match days was permanently stuck between his chair and handles so flag flew behind him when pushed. As we entered the ground we were toldwe wouldn't be allowed in unless we took pole of the flag. I pointed out that the lad who the fag belonged to couldn't actually use his arms due to his disability, but alas pole was eventually removed. Once inside the ground there was a group of women on a hen night/day (about 20) all of whom had wooden poles larger than flag pole with a picture of a certain celebritie stuck on the end (can't mind if it was Elvis or cliff richard) Common senseappears to no longer exsist at football grounds :rolleyes02:

I remember that day well, the police stood right in front of us for the entire game, even following a certain fan when he went to toilet/pie stand!! :015: Come back feb8th, all is forgiven

Thanks everyone for all your best wishes!! - i'll pass them on to Weez and Isla when i get to the hospital!!!! :021: :021: :021: :021: :021: :021:

Are these not the players who have provided a storming 2nd 3rd of the season,who have taken us from the depths of relegation, viewing gretna as our only chance of survival to one win of 5th place and within 4 points of 3rd spot (if we win that game) Seems some people have exceptionally high expectations. At this moment in time we'/re having an extremley successful season, so suggesting that the players mentioned above are on their last legs with us confuses me somewhat. I would rather likes of tokely,Mcbain and Duncan continue "on their last legs " with us and not pushing aother team up the spl. As for getting their acts together?, Christ what do some people expect from our players? Time for a reality check methinks.

perhaps once duncan has played for his country as often as niculae has he could look to command a similar wage.

I always thought Barry's head was quick to go down if things aren't going icts way, so i think he's more effective coming on as a sub with apoint to prove and going flat out for remainder of the game.

Having read all the replies to my original post, i think i should clear a few things up. My complaint is not with the club, as there is only so much they can do on the selling of tickets. My problem iswith the police and stewards. The stewards sit for the entire game watching the home crowd, then when tensions rise and it is OBVIOUS that there are away supporters in the home end which has led to a situation, it simply has to be addressed. If i sat in the wrong end to watch my team i would not be daft enough to be jumping around like a loony when my team scored, as i would worry rightly about the reaction of the people surrounding me. The police apparently ejected rangers fans in the west stand, so why not in the north stand? They ejected fans at the celtic game, but not on sunday, why? The attitude that the police displayed was disgusting. I will be writing to the club, not to complain, but to seek clarification as to what roles the police and stewards should be playing at our stadium and about how they enforce the conditions printed on the reverse of our tickets. A blind eye was turned which potentially could have led to an incident, yet they can pick out my jacket on cctv which happens to cover a third of a letter on an advertising board. Think the priorities are somewhat confused. If someone feels the need to make a complaint to the police, isit too much for that complaint to be acted upon? From the point of the disalowed goal going in, the mood changed in the north stand and i didn't like it. In fact i would have to seriously think about whether to bother going to the next home game against either the old firm. With regards to contacting you about it lg, i will do, but in my own time. I work 24 hour shifts, and have a life outwith football but i will supply the row, section and seat numbers to the club and look forward to any response i get. My problem is not with the club, but with the stewarding and policing. I would rather not attend these games than have to sit with rangers fans. Perhaps small minded of me, but i have seen the negative side of some of these fans which included a girlfriend of one this sites users, being spat in the face and being called a fenian bast ard.

Seriously folks this is getting beyond a joke. The attitude of some people sickens me :008: :018:

I was in the front row today behind the home goal, and it quickly became apparent that most of the row behind me were rangers fans due to their conversations and comments during the first half. I wasn't particularly chuffed but not a lot i can complain about as they weren't being loud or displaying colours. However when the 1st goal went in (was it chalked off?) they all erupted and jumped to their feet. In response top this they got the full Bronson and Big T fan hairdryer treatment for several minutes, it then became clear that the row behind them were rangers fans too as they were telling the ones who celebrated to leave it and not make a scene. I then tried to speak to a policeman who completely ignored me despite him knowing i was trying to get his attention and he walked off. I then approached the sergeant and explained to him and his response was "we'll keep an eye on them". When 2nd goal went in they were smarter and sat on their hands and kept their mouths shut. As we left the stadium i told an officer that the policing was a disgrace, to which he replied that it wasn't an offence for rangers fans to be in the home end and it was a stewarding issue. I then asked what role the police are supposed to be filling, when he couldn't answer i suggested it was simply to pass the buck. At this point i was firmly told to "GET OUT". Weez also spoke to a policeman at half time asking why 60 extra officers were at the game when they're not prepared to act when there are clearly a number of away fans cheering in the home end, causing offence to the ict fans.She was told that its not against the law to support rangers and that there are plenty of rangers fans in inverness. To which weez explained that it offended her and others around her, he said it was a stewarding issue as it was not a crime. So i guess i'm just fed up with this 5hit every time the old firm come visiting. If 2 rows of rangers fans did that in parkhead you can bet your last penny they would be ejected before their feet touched the ground. The stewards sit gormlessly swinging their legs, staring at the ground picking their noses doing absolutely nothing when actions are required, the police simply aren't interested and their attitude is disgraceful. Yet to cap it all we were approached as the game kicked off by a steward and told to remove our jackets from the rail in front of us as we were covering advertising boards, and that she was only doing her job as instructed by the police!!!!! I really would like someone from the club to explain the clubs policy on this situation, and the roles the police and stewards are expected to play.

Bennett was quoted on teletext saying that all of the money will be made available to Brewster to strengthen squad.

What odds on Niculae getting call up to romanian squad for friendly with israel?
