The Mantis

Fine in the first half, working hard and creating as much as Yinitit till we gifted the first goal. Daly got a free header. Writing on the wall after that. Also Blackie was on the receiving end of what looked like a rather cynical challenge from Dods. When he went off at half time we had nothing to offer. Barry, his replacememnt, seemed unable to run at players and kept turning inside, mind you that was after Brewster switched him to the left. Looked like another disaster at the second goal away up the far end. When the ball flew up in the air that feckin giant Wilkie got plenty time to nod it home. Second half and bits of the first half we persisted in punting it up to Barrowman who was left to battle against the twin towers. When we kept it on the deck we looked like causing them problems but too little too late. Cowie does not look happy at all at the mo. We also missed Duncan IMO, but then I say that every week.

I think you'll find you're two thirds right Pimple

There'll be a pay gate for sure.

I think Gordy made the hammer/nail interface there. Legend Pele.

It's the Tuesday then....... would have preferred Weds but never mind.

Where you been hiding man? Missed your dulcit tones :thumb04: :018: BENI's just a bunch of fans but you're looking for bias at the club? Nothing stopping you forming your own NINI or whatever you want to call them ;)

I think there's a fair amount of 'anybody can beat anybody else on their day' in the league this year. It could be argued that the standard in the SPL is lower this year apart from Gretna. Killie looks like a great result. But time will tell if Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen are any good. Anyway we only got a good result from one of the three, and beating Falkirk may not turn out to be a fabby result either. We also lost at home to Hamilton and St Mirren.

Not a big enough Travis fan to go and see them unless they were performing in my neighbour's garden. But for many ICT fans there's one song brings back happy memories of a great day out

:thumb04:

Aye AD was a gers man and DM was a jambo, but I would say in the last couple of years of Caley that was their team. Dots went back to Caley because Hearts were crap. Wish I could remember the name of the big guy who owned the flat - I can see his face. Also there was a guy they called Carter USM (unstartable sex machine....).

I meant DM the painter. AD and DM did 95% of the fanzine as far as I'm concerned. Can't remember which big guy though. Either the guy who had the flat Dots lived in in Nelson St, a laid back big guy, or Duncan, who Dots said was just a jaggie anyway. He was none too pleasant and used to spit at opposing players.

Are you sure about that? A few years ago they had lost touch AFAIK and while AD was in Edinburgh, DM was anywhere between Sneck and your own neck of the woods...

Yngwie asked that people did not use the board to post rumours. The original thread has been hidden (not deleted) and may be reopened later. I hope that this answers some of the queries regarding removal of posts/quotes from posts.

Congrats to you both. Sigh..... it seems only yesterday he was a wee laddie.

I saw Feyenoord about 6 years ago and it was dearer than the SPL. So was Tenerife when they were in La Liga. Saw Barca quite cheaply though, but it's like the Yankees or the Blue Jays, your seat is up in the gods and all the other seats are bought well in advance by the members. I'd like to hear what the diddy teams at the bottom of the Premiership are charging - the ones at the top are FAR more than the SPL. I take the point about Italy and Germany but I think it's mostly a bit of a myth and you have to go well away from the Eurozone to get cheap football.

Must be a coincidence but the top 4 teams have come out separate anyway. Celtic, Rangers, DUFC, Falkirk.

Cheers Alex. Here's to 2pm then.

Forgot about Falkirk. We must be seeded 5th so will get the tims, huns, Bairns or Arabs.

Don't know if anybody's noticed, but with Killie and Hamilton winning, and Rangers drawing, there's just a teensy chance of us sneaking into the top four seeded positions for Thursday's draw. That's the cue for it all to go (insert favourite fruit) shaped

People who think taking on Brew was a bad move (like me) are not just coming out of the woodwork because of the result last night. I don't see where anybody on the thread is saying they've suddenly been converted by one game. Although we overcame Morton after 120 mins, we were gash for an hour of that, and were within 11 minutes of going out. Against Arbroath we went even closer. We never looked like scoring on Saturday either and it's been a similar story for most of the season. The football has been dire. If Brew keeps us up and builds on that next year, fair enough. But if we're bottom at Christmas, don't say you weren't warned.

Hey, that's a fine match report.

Aye, ex-Clyde, he was fired up by the Ton fans and enjoyed winding them up. I like the effort wee Dougie puts in. Got a bit more space to play it has to be said, hope he can continue to learn but I think he's being found out in the SPL at the mo. Also had an unnecessary wee flick at an opponent's ankle in the first half.

Aye, who paid the 3 quid then Jakies instead of smokies.....

It's obvious Pele was always the kind to walk away - as he said often in interviews, there's more important things in life than fitba. If he did have his head in the right attitude (that's a big 'if') for managing full time I'd have him back in a flash. He was successful at Elgin, Huntly and us. Leaving us was the mistake of his life and he probably knew that at the time. I'm sure he could have adapted to the SPL with us, without south based fans like me having to listen to people at work saying what a boring team we are now. As for Brew, I'm sure he's learning the trade alright, but I fear by the time he's learned it we'll be playing at places like Cappielow every week. For the record: I was at the game. Mary Hill has it spot on.

No, they were in the same season. Beat Ayr 7-3 in December, and 4-3 in January. In between we had another 2 crackers where we beat Airdrie 4-0 and drew 3-3 with County when Denzil scored 2 in injury time :thumb04: What a team, bring back Pele!
