I'd take ?50k for Bayne. He's not an awful player by any means, and you get a terrific work rate out of him but his scoring record this season is incredibly poor.

I thought Bayne was superb last season, but he is an out-and-out striker with a record of one league goal in 20. and three goals in 23 in all comps. Should we look to replace him at the end of the season?

I don't think replacing Brew now will do anything for the team, but he should be replaced at the end of the season. On the other hand, a new, quality appointment could convince Russell and Dennis to pen new contracts. In short, yes, but at the end of the season. And please, please, have Barry Wilson as part of next season's coaching team.

Ma-ri-us Ni-culae!!! legend well done marius. I think Marius could be to blame for some of the dressing room unrest, but through no fault of his own. Players like Russell might be reluctant to sign a contract when a team mate is on ?5k a week!

Well one of us got chucked out for daring to politely question a steward so that dampened our mood as well!!!

Has Richie actually signed for C*unty? Thats a massive shame as he's a very talented player imo. I remember he got a run in the team when CC first took over from Brew, and he was probably our best player. I don't think Brew is that far off the mark, but he needs to do something to freshen the team up. Ross Tokely needs to be dropped imo. Not permanently, but he needs a kick up the backside (not literally :004:), and Proctor should come in at right-back as he was playing brilliantly during Tokely and McGuire's suspensions. If you look at the two centre backs, Brew is desperately short of options. Munro and McGuire have both generally played well this season, so is there any point in dropping either? Steve Watt is the the only other option, but he seems to be injured every five minutes. And I'm not totally sure about the young lads' positions, but Hastings seems to be the only left-back in the squad. Right midfielder, has to be Barry Wilson. He brings so much to the team, and he gets the crowd going, which can bounce back on to the pitch and lift the team'sm performance. imo, Russell Duncan should be told to sit back and protect the back four, in the 'Makelele' role. That allows Don Cowie to get more forward and add to his goal tally. Its take your pick out of Dougie or Markus for the left wing spot. I'd have Dougie as I think he's played well since he arrived, but Markus has done well in recent weeks. Then up front, surely you can't drop your top scorer, so Marius is in. I'd have Dennis Wyness up front with him, as he is a natural goalscorer, and looked like he was back to his old ways at the start of the season. So.... Rant over, here's my selection :004: FRASER PROCTOR MUNRO MCGUIRE HASTINGS DUNCAN WILSON IMRIE COWIE NICULAE WYNESS Subs- Malkowski, Vigurs, Gillespie, Duff, Hart, Black, Bayne. Unfortunately Brew's selections are slightly limited by the three under-21 player rules, as if they weren't in place, I'd drop Vigurs, Gillespie and Duff from the bench and put in Markus, McBain and McDonald.

Well he had he had one run where he went round four players and put a great shot just wide... But that was his 50th ICT appearance, and he's got four goals so far. Not very impressive for a centre forward...

It seems ironic that the day we turn up early to blow up baloons, and get loads of flags etc. is the day the team turn out arguably the worst performance of the season! Oh well.

We sand the council tax song against United, but ICTKev that is absolutely awesome :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: EVERYONE LEARN IT!!! Brliiant :thumb02:

I agree with ICTFCKev It was a bad tackle but I've seen 10 times worse than that... I remember Reading's Stephen Hunt was the victim of an awful tackle against someone a couple of weeks ago, I cant remember who, but no action was taken at all, no free kick or anything... and the tackle was half way up his leg! It was an unfortunate tackle, as Taylor was just clumsy and went in late on eduardo, accidentally as far as I can tell. I would think maybe a 3 match ban would suffice.

More bizarre decisions tonight... McBain selected ahead of Blackie after Saturday's performance... Is there something we're missing Brew? Is McBain actually contributing something we're not seeing??

His scoring record is absolutely nowhere near good enough for another SPL side (apart from Gretna) to take him. And doresboy can we have a source when you post a rumour??

I'm only 15... The first game I went to was 3-0 home win vs. Clyde that earned us promotion to First Division. I was only seven and I remember an old Clyde supporter gave me some fruit pastilles... I'd only lived up here for about a week, so I had no idea what was going on, but I swotted up about ICT over that summer and was a top fan by the new season (99/00) :021:

i'm also hoping to get something sorted in section G because like you i'm eager to give it another go!! i'll keep you up to date with whats goin on k mate :022: Sound :001:

Are we going to West Stand or not? Got a season ticket in Section G but I'm eager to be in the 'singing section'. Official or not.

So thats... erm... 79 people each chippin in a fiver... Better get on the recruitment drive lol I reckon the club might well contribute some funding for it... are we serious about getting this made?

Nice one mate. looks wicked :021: :021: :022: :clapping03: :clapping03:

Not a good idea imo. What if some clever sort decides to take the 'ridge' out of 'BridgeENDERS'??

that is possibly the strangest formation I have ever seen Well.... It's very pretty and it does have certain symmetrical qualities, but I think we might get murdered through the middle with just Hart or McBain in there. exactly you've got a brilliant holding player in russell and blackie who can certainly play there so to have neither there seems a bit tactless. What about putting Black in the centre, paati on the left and dropping hart?/mcbain?

Not that we need any more strikers but Stefan Moore just had his contract terminated by QPR http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...qpr/7205382.stm Recird if 3 goals in 42 games doesn't sound impressive, but he has premiership experience wi villa. Worth a trial maybe?

There was one commentator not sure which one... but he was awful at player's names. He used to cover us all the time in our first SPL season. Instead of Juanjo (wan-jo) and keogh (kee-o) We had Kwon-jo and kee-ock It really was funny listening to this guy. Not sure his name though.

I also follow Liverpool, and on some of the forums down there its virtually against the law to say anything against Carragher or Gerrard, I'm beginning to think the same might go for Rossco up here? :024: :024:

The problem is what if the assistant makes a mistake? Ross might be 100% spot on, but if he just stands around with his arm in the air, and the ref says onside, the opposition could run through and score, where as if Ross had played to the whistle he could have prevented the goal. And I wasn't insulting Ross. Give credit where credits due, and criticism where criticisms due. Isn't that the point of forums like this? For fans to come on and discuss whats going on at the club, and give their opinions? And in my opinion, Ross was very poor yesterday, but your entitled to your own. I hope the comment about Marius wasn't aimed at me? I've been criticised on here before for being too generous to Marius, as even when he wasn't scoring I was praising him on here, as I always thought the effort was always there with Marius, and he contributed much to the team.

Even 3 or 4 months ago, I would never have envisioned myself saying this, but Ikey has been simply outstanding in recent weeks. Superb yesterday, and there was that truely world-class save against Celtic. With Broonie leaving we knew we had Ikey to fill in, even if it was just short-term, but seeing as Zibi is on loan and Ally has left permanently, there simply isn't anyone else to fill in for him. And i think the same goes for Ikey as went for Rankin, even if we get a great fee, say ?100k, who can we convince to come to TCS, thats got the potential Ikey has, with a budget of ?100k?

Don't get me wrong, in his day Ross was an awesome player, but he either needs a kick up the backside, as imo his form of late has been poor, or he needs to be replaced. Simple as.
