Good shout. Foran misses too many sitters to be our main striker. Hayes and Sutherland down the middle would give us the directness and cutting edge we were missing against Hibs.

With Smith or McLeish in charge I would be 100% confident of us winning this group. With Levein I expect us to be battling Wales for 4th place.

I had some concerns when we released so many players at the end of last season but they've been eased after yesterdays performance. The new signings certainly look the part. We have the players, now its a case of finding the right system.

It wouldn't suprise me if he does a Stokes and ends up back in the SPL next season.

Richie Foran. He drifts in and out of games.

Why don't they play 'home' games at Clach park?

Marco De Barros. Our Messi.

Another commanding performance from Grant tonight and a clean sheet to boot. He's been by far our best player over the last 3 games. C'mon Butcher, give the man another season. He has the ability.

At least Colin Campbell will have something to rant about in the HN this week.

You want Hamilton to stay up for the sake of sportsmanship and fair play? Really?

A sad way to go out. But I have a sneaky feeling RD will make a Golabekesque comeback someday in the future when the chips are down.

Best player on the pitch today.

I know we got him for free, but how much are his refill cartridges? Probably costing us a fortune.

I approve of this message. Would much prefer to see Walter Smith win the title than Neil Lennon. Celtic deserve nothing at all after the way they, their manager, their chairman and their fans have conducted themselves this season.

Aye.

Why can't we play like that every week????

Are you Alex Smith?

This is a poor decision IMO. Russel Duncan = hard work, commitment, reliability and experience. He's being thrown on the scrapheap at 30 after 10 years outstanding service. It's a disgrace. This isn't just an abomination on sentimental grounds, it makes no footballing sense. We're replacing a rock with an unknown quantitiy. It sends out the message that the club is not a meritocracy and has no respect for the aforementioned qualities. We would rather give a short-term loan contract to an unknown english championship rookie than retain a reliable, experienced stalwart who loves the club and the fans. It's a joke.

Hope they go down. Bunch of anti-football, dirty, diving, time wasting, cheating b@stards. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He played advantage after he'd already blown the whistle, whats wrong with that?

Good idea. How about a tournament with ICT, Ross County, Elgin and Clach? (or perhaps the last slot could be the reigning Highland League champions rather than Clach) Good crowds and revenue guaranteed.

Couldn't believe it when I heard the game was off today. Have to agree with the Celtic fans 100% on this one, no point in defending the indefensible. If the roles were reversed we would be saying exactly the same things. This is an absolute JOKE. Thousands of fans inconvenienced, out of pocket and time wasted. TV money lost. Celtic fans threatening to boycott away games with ICT in the future. All because we are apparently incapable of dealing with a bit of overnight rain in April. Either we get the drainage system sorted or invest in a simple pitch cover which would prevent this happening again. The groundsman is against pitch covers? I don't care. I'd rather have an imperfect pitch which is PLAYABLE, than a perfect pitch which is always UNPLAYABLE whenever it snows or rains. End of rant.

All the way through our downward spiral over the last 4 months we've had Golly and McBain fit and available for selection. Experienced, vocal, hard working players who could have an influence on the pitch. But they've been completely shut out. Butcher apparently even favours Duff and Munro at left back to Golly, the man who was the lynchpin organizing our defense last season. Baffling.

2 good keepers, Esson doing the business in the league, Tuffey doing the business in the cups. Harsh to drop the man who helped get us here in the previous rounds.
