Scarlet Pimple

Thanks , Yngwie--that's the first video I have seen of the match. That pitch may have been the great leveller but we can't honestly say that ICT's play was slick and quick. The team looked tired, actuellement. Strannie tired in the second half maybe and allowed ICT to get a grip. Thank goodness. We have the replay though, so let's see what happens. All credit to Stranraer for a spirited display and some neat enough footie though. I really don't see them winning at Tulloch and think that there may be quite a high score by tea time. Once bitten tice shy ---I hope. cheers Uncle Scarlet.

Having just read the HIBS thread on Rig's post, even I was depressed. Glory and stability in the past ....to this kind of depression and back-biting. It's fine having a short fuse as TB is reputed to have but showing it to the players is not the way to go for a new manager --he will lose them. A club that is down, with players who are also emotionally drained by defeat after defeat, needs encouragement and help. Now he has Malpas with him they had better work very hard together and use praise and encouragement from now on or this team will be a basket case before the end of the season. Hearts have had a torrid time of it but their spirit is still "tails-up" and they still have a bright future. What was it that was so great about TB here at ICT ? Was it the great help he got from his support staff. the potentially good players he brought in from England, or do :clapping:es he really have the right stuff. All I can opine is that the way he "arranged" his departure left me cold as ice and a man of real character would not only have acted differently but been much fairer to and honest with the Chairman of ICT. 'Nuff said. He made his bed and now he will have to lie on it. Poor Hibs! They picked the wrong man --Their loss is our gain. John Hughes has twice the personality and character.

I'm closer to the end of my tenure on this planet than starting out so.... I don't want to speak ill of the dead...... . But, T B , your glory days may be over because if you can't keep the heed , like oor John does so well amidst lots of upbeat and enthusiastic comments praising our lads and the club, then you won't last the pace beyond the end of this season. Sad to say for you, it 's appearing more and more as if you've done our club a big favour by departing earlier than we had anticipated. But going to a club on the hard downward slide without the patience and requisite motivational skills needed to help them over the hump you may end up on the scrap heap yourself instead of the lads who may all of them be trying their best.

Cor Blimey--I am in another time warp.

80,000 pounds is an incredible amount of money to pay out ....what gives?

:lol:

Head Butt. But on the head.... Well, Roarer, I,m a really modest guy and I always like to keep-a-brest of events. So it's O.K if you butt-er me up, whiles.

There are not going to be any easy games from now on I don't think. The team has to be up for it and go for it right from the start, I think.

Crowd at Stranraer was 722. ICT had 10 corners to Stranraer's 0. Is that significant.?

How will that affect my very small DSS pension? Will it still be paid into my bank account in Scotland?

If she does notice your absence then invest in a very sweet Cologne. And present it with a diamond necklace. Remember that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder..... Hoch ! Hoch!

Why not contact County and offer to rent out some caravans?

Head butt?

Rainbow--if you read this gent's name backwards it reads....... " referee, I am." EEEEEEK!

Oh my goodness, SBD. Don't you feel a wee bit sheepish for feeling that way about the twa Dons. Then just convert them to a better team.

Have a good one Scotty. Remember you said that you were sitting at the fireside watching the Hearts match on T V. Well I saw your name right beside that of Don on the bus list prior to the match and with my bleary eyes reflecting incorrect images more often than not, then please forgive me for assuming that I could also see you on the video.

Or more if the team play like they have done recently.

If the T V is big enough maybe we can stay there for the gemme as a snifter?

All Bran and nae......?

With John Hughes sitting between all youse with a huge grin on his face.

Hire a very large dirigible --that would cause a sensation and no mistake. Put us really on the map. Ha! Er--but not any that are called the Hindenberg.

All I hope is that we win. We have to score first and contain both Hayes and Rooney..Rooney surprised me with his contribution and goal--a very nice one Cyril.

I've been watching Caley on and off for over 60 years and the feeling I had was just unbelievable. Disbelief immediately followed by incredible elation. It was like falling off a cliff--down, down, down -----and then suddenly being lifted up by the Eagle three feet from the ground. .....

IHE---I'm Hungover Eh? S.P.---Siimply Pumped.

His tenacity and control at the vital moment was outstanding. Calm and cool did it for me. In that situation he could have been forgiven for losing control and muffed it. That was simply terrific piece of skill.
