I think McBain did enough today to merit a place in the starting 11 next week. Seems the obvious replacement for Hayes if he's still injured by then?

Did we really have players of that calibre in our team or was it all just a dream?

From my seat in section B I can't make out anything over the tannoy. The speaker in that part of the North Stand is fecked !!

He was poor today until he was moved further infield and Imrie replaced him on the right. He started right mid did he not? but he kept moving into centre and leaving their left winger in acres of space. Got caught out 3 or 4 times like this. He came onto a game after the switch and took his goal well and was unlucky not to score the winner. What I like about Proctor is that he tries to place the ball on goal and doesn't just lash the ball and try and burst the net.

I thought Foran was injured and that's why he was hooked....otherwise why change it? We were 1 up FFS If anything it was probably our best home performance of the season (though that's not saying much)! That said we should've won, a draw really isn't good enough. Nice to see Roy on the park again, reminded me of the old days when ICT were a great team! :(

I agree. We play with a SPL mentality i.e. we play to try not to lose. In the 1st we need to play to win. Granted there is a fear factor amongst the players when playing at home. They don't want to try anything fancy in case it doesn't come off and the crowd is on their backs, the home jinx thing is now on their minds every home game, attendances are in freefall and as a result the, once bearly audible, atmosphere is now more silent than ibrox on a champions league night!

"Eeny meeny miny MO.......right that's the team picked!"

I was encouraged by our first half performance, after losing the early goal. In fact I think the early goal spurred the team into action cos for the first time in a long while they played with a bit of urgency and pace. Then out for the second half and the urgency had gone and it seemed to me that we were settling for the draw. QoS had other ideas though and when their chances came they took them! Game over! Yet another wasted Saturday afternoon and, as somebody else mentioned previous, when was the last time we saw a good old cavalry charge performance from ICT at home? After all the reason we're supposed to go to watch football is to be entertained? I can't remember the last time I was entertained at ICT. Folk are calling for Butcher's head but this is the same man that almost saved us last season. Has he become keech overnight? The way I see it the club is going backwards now and I think that first backward step was taken when CB was re-hired. I also think that the board have to take most of the blame for not getting rid sooner when it was clear to see that our position in the SPL was under serious threat. They acted stubbornly when the Supporters Trust voiced their displeasure with brewster and maybe held onto him longer than they would otherwise have done? This is all water under the bridge now but it's something that still leaves a sour taste in the mouth of this fan !! :018:

What team does the main character support ? :thumb04:

Aye he's appearing at Eden Court 28th March......but tickets sold out !!

Well if it's in The Sun it must be true !

Gudgie as in 'gudgie-coff' urban dictionary

I always thought it was Gudgie ?

Maybe the question should read 'What areas do not need strengthening?'

Wow, next Sunday just can't come soon enough! I can't wait to see ICT in action again !!

Thank you Ryan Esson for making the score look respectable. If it wasn't for you we'd have been staring at a 6 or 7 goals against!! Hayes was easily our best player and Foran did ok too. We rallied for the last 10 minutes, as Partick sat back, but truth be told had we equalised it would have been completely undeserved. WTF has happened to this club? It was only a few months ago we had a squad including the likes of Black, Cowie, Rankin, Wilson, ...... That team has been well and truly dismantled and we've paid the price for that with relegation and now struggling in the 1st division with a team full of fairies ! ICT is now a feckin shambles on and off the park. The only thing holding this club together is TB's PR ! What feckin state will the club be in come the end of the season when TB & MM depart along with half the current squad who's contracts are up? Doesn't bear thinking about does it? :024: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :008:

I've been out sea fishing from Brora harbour a few times. Just can't remember the name of the guy that does/did it though ! :mellow:

No doubt the SFA will make scapegoats of Burley & co and they'll get the boot in a few days. IMHO it's Smith and Peat and, well probably the whole of the SFA, that should be resigning....(no point in half measures!!) For once tonight I actually agreed with Charlie Nicholas !!! The way the game is coached from a young age in this country needs to change. Our players have much less technical ability than any of the top nations. Or is it that our players do/did have the skills but have them coached out? Ronald de Boer also talked a lot of sense re the coaching side of things. He said that a 10 year old should be taught ball skills, not how to win a championship....that comes later. It should not matter that a 10 year old is not physically strong or extra tall, as if they have the ball skills at an early age then their strength can be gained at a older age. Tonight, strangely enough, I'm left feeling sorry for Burley ??? He admitted he's made mistakes, but at least he's admitted it! He's had to deal with two of his top players flicking the v sign to the Scottish public. He's had a 'player' take the huff and walk out on the national team (if Boyd ever plays for Scotland again I'll be disgusted). He's had Peat blame everyone but himself..... FTSFA!

Loved "Definitely Maybe" and saw them at Loch Lomond in '96. Sadly every album they've released since has been pants !

Oh, and did anybody else think that the best entertainment today was the kids match at half-time? They showed more inventiveness and technical ability than any of the 'professional' players! They even managed a few shots at goal!!

Can't say I've been impressed by any of the signings. Admittedly I've only been to the home games so can't speak for their away displays? After today's performance I'm questioning their commitment to ICT?

Question is......who were those 11 eejits dressed up as ICT players on the park this afternoon?

A disgrace! I don't think any player gets pass marks the day. It was like a return to the dark days under brewster's management. A derby match ???? FFS did anyone tell the players that? Why weren't they up for it? Are these new signings here to play for the jersey or are they just here cos Butcher's here? The team's got no bottle at all!!

I went to a shop in Dingwall and caught swine flu.

I've always been a non-smoker but there were times last season during ICT matches when I really felt like taking it up !!
