The Mantis

He took over at Keith in a Q-Cup tie in 1991 I think. 10 man Caley beat Keith 3-0.

Pea and Ham, from a chicken? Now that's clever!

Whooooooooosh! If it's on his profile - why don't you find it yourself. It's visible (or not visible as the case may be) to everybody.

You don't live in one of those County-style towable houses Ralphie? Honestly though, what respect does he deserve? He walked away from us, dragged his own club down, and apart from being a great player on the park for us, what else?

Aye I'm sure ICT pay for your flight to training every day

I think we're quite lucky we don't play Hamilton Accies till mid-January. If we played them next week at their place, fired up, they'd fancy it more than us.

I agree - even if only a fraction of the gossip you hear at games, that comes from the parents and friends of players, is true.

What, you mean the runs we went on after each of our 3 wins this season? Attractive football? I'll have some too please. I'll be there at Easter Road but I'll give you a prediction now. We come out fighting and get beat 2-1 with loads of hard luck stories.

I've just heard Brew's excuse for a post-match interview, can I have another vote?

I think you must have your head in a manger.

Oh I'm getting behind the team all right. Unlike you I want to do something to stay up, ie replace the incompetent who is currently picking up a salary as a 'manager'. If only our board had the balls to do what the Tannadice board did. You'll still be happily clapping away when my/our club is in Div 1, telling us we'll never go down to Div 2. You won't mind if I refer to you as 'Ostrich' from now on.

To get a new manager and stay up.

Get this man and his muppet assistant away from our football club now.

My first Scotland game was 1973: Scotland 2 Czechoslovakia 1, the famous World Cup qualifier. Roughie gifted a goal to ?Nehoda then Holton equalised. Jordan scored a diving header from a Bremner cross and we all suffocated in the dust that got kicked up in those days before the Rangers end got concreted.

Yep, the club has to be congratulated on this, long overdue.

Totally disagree with that. We had record points and were unbeaten after the split. And even on the losing run under CC the players played with a bit of passion. I could not believe how crap we were (yet again) on Tuesday night. Agree totally.

I got a letter published in the Hootsmon about 1992 or 3, when Morton was slagging off Sneckie and in particular its football teams. Just after he had his whisky series with the motorbike and he was full of himself......

Can't really argue with much of that. A fair lot has been said already on other threads though. Nobody has mentioned Rossco got a yellow just before the start of the second half. In the quiet of your Travelodge? I think you should redraft that sentence :thumb04:

I always thought Leakey was a miserable git and his prices appeared higher than Edinburgh. Since I don't live in the Sneck I never took him any books but I saw him deal with somebody once who had a pile of books and I felt sorry for the poor guy who got a few measly pence for a couple of them and had to cart the rest away again Also, pure gossip, but I got a couple of lovely Neil Gunn signed copies from the woman in the market once. I accidentally got her onto the subject of Leakey and she didn't half go into a rant :thumb04:

Bump!

Seen all 3 cup ties and would have no problem if Esson was kept in the team. If anything I think his experience makes him a shade better than Mikey but Mikey has certainly learned a lot over the past 2 years and has time on his side. Also is Esson a bit taller?

I don't know how much longer I can bear watching that sort of pish.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. What a shyte second half that was. Clueless. Frozen. I'm away to my bed.

I just have a nasty nagging memory that we DO lose every time people start talking about the next round.....
