Your right, maths exam tomorrow :008: Past papers here I come :015:

Not sure if I should post this in "Anything goes", so feel free to move this mods. I have been very harsh on the Supporters Trust since Saturday, and I wish to withdraw everthing I have said about them, and offer an apology. The behaviour of L_G has been much appreciated, and much of what I have said has been in the heat of the moment. Im very sorry, and am beginning to see what a good job you do for ICT's fans. Again, many apologies.

I was under the impression that the supporter's trust was supposed to be looking after the supporters. If that is their job, their clearly not doing anything remotely like it and in any other industry would be sacked. Don't know how I missed this comment. Not sure how you go about sacking the Supporter's Trust. The board members are all volunteers, who are all busy people, but give up time to do the work of the Trust. One of our main priorities is raising money, hence the events, much of this goes back to ICT to improve something or to buy some new equipment and we have sponsored the street league this year with equipment and first aid kits. We also do speak to the football club on a monthly basis and discuss any issues that have arisen, or discuss future improvements etc. We do take the fans complaints to these meetings and have organised special meetings when there has been problems to sort. e.g the initial problems with the singing section. We met on the Sunday night to decide how best to deal with the issues. I wish I had seen this post before I arranged a meeting with Mike Smith on your behalf. I am giving up my personal time tomorrow morning to meet with Mike Smith to discuss whether or not he should have removed your banner. I really wish I hadn't bothered. :008: Admittedly that post was made in the heat of the moment, and without sufficient information. The post was made on the basis that memebers of the trust had condemned me for complaining about the removal of my banner. So it seemed that the Supporters trust was doing nothing for the supporters. However, I am immensley grateful that you have taken the time out to do this for me, and also that you invited me to the meeting on Monday as your guest. On the basis of that, I cheerfully withdraw my post :003: Many apologies.

great news, good to see a decent team up for bazzas testimonial. are season ticket holders classed as a priority group? What about half-season ticket holders? If Mike Smith has anything to do with it you will be lucky to watch it from the bridge :tic01: :004: Indeed :009: :004:

I agree with this However I also agree with this But also this :016:

Plus I believe it was Sheffield United, not "Sheffield United XI". So a full strength Sheff Utd mabe equal with a second-string Liverpool side?

If I've missed anyone obvious in the options let me know... I voted for Marius, top scorer and he kissed my flag :001: :001: I must admit though if it weren't for the celebration, I would have voted Don Cowie.

I think I've got what I needed from this thread. The most popular single option was that people do not back Brewster, as I expected. However, the majority either back him, or are content with him in charge for the time being. As I said one of the justifications for me taking my Brewster Out banner on Saturday, was a recent vote on here, where the vast majority voted to sack him. I was definetly one of those people. But given the results of this poll, the Brewster Out banner will stay at home for the time being. :004:

We were on a break :004:

Level 5 for me...

For a moderator, I think this is a very poor post. You haven't offered an opinion, given an explanation or contributed to the discussion at all. What was your point? If not then I'd have to agree that it's disappointing because if MS had taken that course of action then not only would he be sacked you could have him for assault :004: Hmmm... He probably should have... That would be problem sorted :004:

Maybe a "Smith out" banner could be placed somewhere instead. :004: I was thinking that, or I could carefully position my two flags so they read, "Marius is magic", "Smith is tragic" :004: But I don't think that would get me anywhere, as I have no interest in "getting at" Mike Smith, I simply want the right to peacefully protest if I believe the club is being run incorrectly. And i do believe, at the current moment, that both the footballing side of the club (ie. Brewster) is being run incorrectly, and the way the club treats its fans (ie. Smith) is being run completely incorrectly. Infact the club doesn;t seem to be making any effort at all in that department.

Agreed. Thanks birdog for all the advice you've given me since Saturday on these forums. Much appreciated :003:

It could be, depending on how you said it :016: I guess you and yer mate have never been to a reserve game before: if you had you'd have known that it's just the main stand (where you can rub shoulders with the visiting coaching staff and try to infect them with your cold if you judge it right, or run up to Brew and wave a flag in his face). The chief exec really shouldn't be shouting at fans, but I suppose Delia Smith set the precedent. Bet she can't really boil an egg, or hire decent stewards either. :015: We have actually been to several before, and on more than one occasion we've asked members of ICT staff for permission to sit in the North Stand and received it, which is the reason we asked. Plus we could see two lads sitting in the South Stand today. That, however, is not what Im complaining about :004:

"Is the North Stand available?" Yes that is quite cheeky :017:

I was considering that, however if I go to the courier, Im worried I might be permanently banned from the stadium :rolleyes02: Mike also knows me, by name, and am keen not to make myself known as a trouble-maker. Maybe too late for that though ... Funny seeing as I haven't broken any of the SPL Ground Regulations :024:

Being on Study Leave from school, me and a mate decided to go to the reserve match today. Great performance from the youngsters, especially Dale Gillespie who looked a real class act. This was all overshadowed however, by the behaviour towards me by Mike Smith. Just before the match, me and my mate decided we wanted to sit in the North Stand, so started to walk towards the stand, when Mike Smith came out of the toilets between the main and north stands.. Mike took one look at me, and immediately shouted, "where do you think you're going?" I replied, "Is the North Stand available?" He told me "no of course not...I recognise you - sit down over here, shut up or you won't be coming back here this season." He didn't say this to me, he shouted it. My disagreement with Mike over my Brewster Out banner is well publicised on here, but I am shocked and deeply troubled that a man with so much power at the club shows so much hostility towards the fans. My only words were, directly quoted, "Is the North Stand available?", and his response was to shout at me to shut up, and to threaten me with a ban from the stadium for the final game. How did this man get to be in such a high position at the club? What does he actually do? What is his problem with the fans? My mate who attended the game with me today was a Hearts fan, and he joked to me that ICT was a joke the way it treated its fans. But he was 100% spot on. :008:

County sold two players - Gary Mackay Steven and Alex Cooper. I believe its also in the deal that Mackay Steven and Cooper have to play in the friendly.

Hmmm... San Jose is a centre back, darby a right back, Insua a left back and Huth a centre back, so the back line is totally wrong. Spearing is a centre back not a right winger, leto is a left winger, putterill is a right winger and el zhar is a right winger, so midfield totaly wrong. And Nemeth and Lindfield remember the names. TOP players. Now TCJ, I've never heard of any of these players so of course I'd get some wrong. :004: Yeah I know mate, my corrections were said very much tongue-in-cheek. How about this tho: Jose Reina Alvaro Arbeloa Jamie Carragher Daniel Agger Fabio Aurelio Dirk Kuyt Javier Mascherano Steven Gerrard Xabi Alonso Ryan Babel Fernando Torres That'd do me :D

You know it could be. I was on the phone at the Gretna game and I told the person on the other end I couldn't talk as I was at the football, and she didnt believe me :015: "Shouldn't it be noisy?" she says. Quite right too :024:
