Inverness wins
Solid performance all round, Wilson and Tokely were outstanding - they work well together. Bazza definatly has more to contribute - hopefully his MOTM display will have earned him another contract. McBain and Cowie were superb in the middle of the park. Much better than Duncan and Black IMHO. (we are a totally superior team since we dropped black) Hopefully we'll see more of them there, food for thought at least. Despite getting on in years Roy still must be one of the fittest players in the SPL, he got up and down the park today like a man possessed, and didn't even look out of breath at the final whistle. He's wasted when we play him out on the left wing. Especially as Imrie looks more than capable of filling that void. The only cloud was Wyness not getting on the scoresheet, he seemed to lack his usual cockiness / composure on the ball. Obviously nerves getting to him. Perhaps we shouldn't read too much into post-split games, they often have a pre-season feel about them. But I'm alot more confident about next season after todays result than I was after they gubbed us 4-1. We've managed to turn things around, 3 good performances in a row. If we manage to finish our last few fixtures on a high it'll see us in good stead going into next season. Hopefully our out of contract players will keep playing their way into Brewsters plans like they did today.

Who is the most overated SPL player?
From the sounds of it, midden fans think it's Dargo http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A34638113 I would go for Lee Naylor, total mince.

What have we done now?
Didn't Butler get picked for England in 'mike basset england manager'? I'm sure it's the same guy, check it out. :003:

How fit do you have to be to play in the SPL?
Does anyone have a clue about the training / fitness regime at ICT? We often hear about Brewster being a hard taskmaster but without anything concrete to back it up. I've always wondered what happens in training, how high the levels of fitness are etc. It's be interesting to compare my own running / circuit training times and repetitions to the pros.

"No rush to sign players up on new deals"
Disrgaceful! Shameful! Outrageous! Clueless! Scandal! Resign! Worst manager ever! Boooo Charlie! Booo Brewster! Boooo Niculae! Boooo Grassa! Boooo Savage! Boooo Malkie! Boooo the goalkeeping coach! Boooo 'invisible man' Roy McBan! Booooo pathetic Zibi! Booooo useless McGuire! Waste of money! Embarrassing! Not fit to wear the shirt! Aaarrrggghhhh!!!!! :baby01: :sleep01: :sleep01: :sleep01: I thought this was supposed to be an ICT supporters forum? It's getting more and more boring by the day.

Who should be the next chairman at ICT..?
Neil MacGregor. He may be a chancer, but at least the half time entertainment would be good :001:

Red Herring
So you think Dodds is rubbish, Zander Sutherland isn't good enough for the SPL, and Brewster is an 'ego monster'. Interesting contributions. Your username isn't much of a disguise, get back over the bridge. :32:

Chairman resigns
Shame nobody seems to have anything nice to say about the outgoing Mr Savage. It's hard to say whether he was a good chairman or not assuming that most of us punters haven't a clue about the finer technicalities of what his job actually entails. Fair play to him for pushing the boat out and paying Niculae's wages out of his own pocket. I think the whole project of trying to set up an eastern european scouting network showed that he had ambition, although perhaps his strategy was a little unrealistic. At the end of the day under his tenure we stayed in the SPL, stayed in the black and posted a healthy profit. That's a success in my book. Cheers! :sillywave:

Our Location
It's only busy on saturday nights dee. Friday is so quiet they close at midnight and don't even open the dancefloor. Try love2love on a friday night, the music is terrible but it's the only place that isn't dead. And if you like Polish girls... :021:

:015: lol you're way too fussy. They are all stunners, especially by closing time :004: There are no decent clubs in sneck unfortunatly, although I guess it depends what you're looking for. Love is good if you are a sardine and like dancing to 'cotton eye joe' :018:, barbazza is alright for loose older women :022:, motion is alright if you are underage and can't get into a grown up club :tic01:, and baku and rags are perfect if you are claustrophobic and like empty spaces :sillywave:. If you don't fall into any of the above categories, unlucky. :007:

brewster
Robbo inherited a brilliant team who were flying at the top of the first division, he turned us into a negative side, started playing Spider in central midfield, and we ended up finishing a dismal fourth when at christmas it looked as if we were going to walk our way to the title. :017: The following season Wilson returned and Bingham came with him. So we added by far the 2 best players outside the SPL to our squad - and we still ONLY JUST managed to pip Clyde at the post. Clyde ffs! :017: Hardly a record worth shouting about in my opinion. If Robbo was a 'legend' it was only because he was standing on the shoulders of a giant (pele).

brewster
the4thstand, andyp85 and foxy are obviously the same person. All new signings with exactly the same avatar and saying exactly the same thing over and over. :014: Some on here seem to have nothing positive to contribute but visceral nonsense. The gleeful schadenfreude and bitter gluckschmerz aimed at brewster by certain characters over the last few months is tedious. You'd think he was the anti-christ! Even more tedious are those fantasists who bore us with their made up 'insider' information to fit their agenda which turns out to be b*llshit 90% of the time. The chairman just said in the Courier that we were going to have a larger budget for new players in the summer than we have ever had before. Like it or lump it CB is the top man and I hope he succeeds. His record isn't as bad as some make out. With the funds to bring in some much needed quality (and he has signed well in the past), and a full pre-season to mould the team (our best start to a season in recent years was our only one with Brew at the helm) I expect us to hit the ground running next term. Robbo? You're having a laugh. The only former gaffer I'd want back is Pele.

IAN BLACK ?
I heard from a former player who I golf with that Rankin and Christie came to blows after a game, and Park ended up taking a sore one in the melee. This story coincided with Rankin losing his place in the team so I thought it must be true. Also the fact that he regained his place immediatly after Parkie left seemed a bit strange. Although he did follow Parkie to Hibs so it's probably all a load of rubbish. :003:

How Many Players Do We Need For Next Season?
Sutherland and Wood will be like new signings. I also think there is alot more to come from the likes of Paatelinen, Imrie, Malkowski and McAllister (some if not all) But we definately need a couple of defenders, a creative central midfielder, and a no-nonsense number 6.

Gretna -V- ICT : matchday thread
I remember when motherwell went into administration a few years ago they, like Gretna, were forced to release their 'star' players, and field a team of rookie youngsters, their results actually IMPROVED. Just because Gretna are fielding a young side doesn't necessarily mean they will be a walkover. Did any of their players impress? Possible signings? :024:

Gretna -V- ICT : matchday thread
It was a no-win situation day. Even if we'd won 15-0 the cynics would cry "so what???!!!" Sounded like we dominated the game but missed loads of chances. This happens in football. Wyness was the chief culprit, everyone on this forum has been calling for wyness to play - what do you want brew to do? (resign I say!!!! resign!!! blah blah blah) if wyness had scored a hat-trick they'd cry "see, he should have been in the team all along! terrible managment!" as it turned out he missed loads of gilt edged chances so it'll be "he was off colour because he's not been given enough games, and his confidence has been shot by brews poor man managment skills!" Basically, it doesn't matter what Brewster does - the drama queens will always complain. A win is a win.

Are you still pretending to be a psychologist? Funny how your so called 'psychological analysis' never rises above standard grade level. :rolleyes02:
