Scarlet Pimple

Sounds like they may be up against a weak and disorientated side though. nevertheless, it's good for the confidence factor.

Certainly leaving it late. Anyone at all in the chatroom I wonder?

I don't think you will ever see Hart back in a Caley Thistle jersey, more's the pity since I thought he was a real honest hard working grafter.

Dornoch Caley is young and inexperienced and tends to shoot from the hip. Yet some of his past comments have been quite well thought out as I recall. And his heart does lie with Caley Thistle. When the Scarlet One was 16 his mother told a family friend , referring to S.P., that he "was not backward at coming forward" and I still don't know whether that was good or bad. I.e. let's not tear DC down every time he pipes up. Go gently into the night DC and come again to the fray, remembering that positive personal comments about individuals, especially untried ones, is preferable to negative ones. For example, I liked Alternative Maryhill's posting which was moderate and thoughtful. And although Manfer The Job does a wonderful prematch preview commentary with what appears to me to be great accuracy, even if his head is probably getting bigger by the minute, I wish he would not lurk in his den, sallying out only occasionally to hit the Pimple with jolly japes and jibes that the latter fan finds very wounding and negative. His personal, rapier like, attacks on S.P. are quite scurrillous and quite without foundation in view of the fact that Scarlet is such a fine fellow who never attacks anyone-----without justification.

..."what's left is mince." Very well put, nifty play upon words egad! :biggrin01:

Do you actually think that the club would bring back a previous Manager to coach our strikers? :biggrin01:

Ed Waiter The 6 points related to a "six-pointer" game--not the league position. You do understand do you? I could hardly read your post --time for you to try harder with your grammar, spelling and presentation which leaves a lot to be desired and , by the way, the name Pimple is a surname and starts with a capital letter.

Yaboy..I dub thee ya-boo. Or should that be YAHOO.? You are about as negative as any poster who has come on here recently . "I am going to County to boo LDZ again"--what an insensitive, shallow comment . I agree completely with Caley mad in Berks and the very restrained "The Knowledge". That kind of attitude and behaviour will not help you to grow(up?) or help the player or the club make any positive progress any time soon.

Belting Boris Lord Mayor of London, comes from Russian Aristocracy with a LOT of money. Very colourful character--plummy accent mit eine twist and calls a spade a proverbial spade...Ha! Ha!

Manfer --you are right the threads usually do stop after I post. It's not magic though, it's simple ---when you are in bed cuddling your Teddy Bear the energetic sleuthful Scarlet One is hard at work devouring the threads on here. There is an 8 hour difference in time dearest but that is the only thing that you are ahead of Scarlet in... :huh: Now off you go, my wee mannie, back to Teddy. Dis you have your Toddy last night to get a nice sleep then, because if not have awee snifter in an hour when you get up.....eh? And for those on here seeking to get eddycated, Canadians always end their sentences with,,,,,,,EH! :P

He needs help and support, not booing. Reading this thread it is not difficult to understand that a rest would be good for him with lots of encouragement thrown in otherwise serious damage could be done to his mental condition well into the future. Show some concern for Lionel and keep your boos for your own mistakes and weaknesses !

I just don't think TB has the available funds already committed to his dreams to achieve much of anything right now.

Well now 5th stand what is it about Terry Butcher that makes you state so emphatically that he thinks he is bigger than ICT? I mean if that is just your opinion that's fine -- but now back it up with facts. I think that remark is complete nonsense. And it is so ridiculous that I will not elaborate because getting through to you why would be a painful process. The only problem I do currently see with Terry B. is that he is currently trying to serve two masters and the sooner he decides which one he wants to follow in a singular fashion the better for the club. In order to fully address the malaise at Tulloch Caledonian Jock MacDonald stadium he must urgently focus all of his attention on the club.

Your jocking... aren't you?

Smee--you impress, on occasion.

I was wondering when this thread was about to come to an end. Can't take much more of this I thought. Scariest thread I have witnessed in a long time. Fair puts he wind up me I can tell you. Phew!

Basically if ICT are not ahead and coasting by Christmas we can forget a return to the SPL this season. They have to be out in front or they willnot be abe to sustain the increased effort required to win it. Just a thought.

And what is so great about County then? And maybe we should be watching Stratford for motivation since it sounds like he was getting irritable at the way the game was going --maybe he has a bit of temper or rebellion in him--GOOD. This leads me to the next question.. Final question --where has the old Caley Thistle spirit gone to? And what is your reply to that DonaldICT?

To those of us who think that one swallow ( defeat ) does not make a summer just remembrer that County are now 6 points better off than ICT in a league which clearly offers a bigger challenge to ICT than we could have thought possible. ! This is not fearmongering by timid minds, folks. It is reality. But it does not concern me as much as thew next point :- Especially if the measure of the defeat is based on lack of effort, lack of organisation, lack of motivation and lack of spirit and determination..as seems to be the case in this instance. This may not be a crisis yet folks ,but in these circumstances ...."beware the bogey man".

The reason, as youse yins all ken, is that Barrowman has to be on the pitch fairly often (i.e when he is fit) toj ustify his large and largely unproductiuve (so it seems ) salary. So how is that going to change any time soon? No doubt some of the upper echelon in Management are often holding their heids in their hauns wondering what to do with a player like Maria (Soundof Music chaps and chappesses....geez, youse are sae slow the noo. Onyhoo ,I dinnae like either of them but remember these few words of wisdom as we go forward ( in modern parlance ,like ): If a player is lacking in confidence he must show the Manager that he is worth the salary by trying harder, training harder, requesting help in whatever area he thinks he is deficient and on match day WORK harder to get on with it AND TO GET OVER IT. IN OTHER WORDS...SORRY! COMPENSATION SHOULD NOT BE PAID FOR ALLEGED WORK UNLESS THE EFFORT IS OBVIOUS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HE IS FAILING OR NOT. And if the player is not performing on the park then another player should be tried out and given his chance since the former is NOT contributing to the team and in general is actually contributing to the malaise spreading through the team as time goes on. After all, if he can continue to get his place in the team without actual;;ly contributing a great deal is is not natural that his example will be emulated by other lazy players as well? Go to Dingwall and ....tink.. about it.

EXACTLY!!!!!! Move Lionel up front , even on the wing and let him run the opposition ragged, Can't be bad and if it silences the bood boys on here tyhat will be great too. Lionel has something intangible in his personality that people like --a sort of honesty of approac h and a fallibilty that hides our own faults so..... Scarlet baby love Lionel. Eh Caley D?

Well now ,just let's see! Lionel has in the past performed heroics and saved the day for ICT by having the will, the energy and the determination to run back from afar to somehow just get in a superb tackle to prevent a certain score.I have seen it with my own eyes. So is it not so very tedious to hear the negativity on here in this thread abou hisn alleged most recent poor performance. I have advised the Manager in the past to play Lionel on the wing where he could do no harm if he makes a mistake and probably would destroy the oposing right back's confidence completely with his athleticism and determination and powerful shot. But the Manager persists in playing Lionel as a back where, inevitably, at this stage he is probably going to make a mistake. Is that Lionel's fault then? Is that not the fault of the selectiuon committe of one or two or however many persons there are in deciding the team. Does it not show some brittleness and a lack of flexibility in those who are picking the team? Wingers are supposed to be pacy and be able to get past their man in order to swing hard balls across the face of the goal or pressure the defence and so what is wrong with at least tryng Lionel out in that position. I mean if he is SOOOOOO bad what the hairoil have all the fantastic forwards currently in the ranks of the ICT team been able to achieve so far this season--they made plenty of mistakes did they not and sure as heck have not done their job of scoring goals very often have they so why not severely chastise and boo them also..EH? That is, if you think that will have the slightest positive effect other than demoralising the player? 'nuff said! S.P.

Kiltarlity I like your style. I am hoping that you will never tell the Scarlet Pimple what you think of his personality in case you engender a male crisis but you can email me any time since I STILL cannot fathom him out ... he's about as convoluted and opinionated as a corkscrew on acid, sigh. Every time he orders up a new head he sidles up to me and says...: "daddy will you screw it on for me please, sometimes I can't get the thread started just right and it really ruins my day!" I mean ..C.mon....! Anyway,kindest regards and your credentials are impressive ! Daddy Pimpernel

Tokely is victorious--not to say that your post is wrong nor nuffink but is it all right then if I continue to post from 9000 kilometers away, even if I may at times say something out of total stupidity or disappointment or frustration--you know how it is....like?

Macleank You certainly are not boring these guys on the Forum. We Canajins (I live in Vancouver) were sent from heaven to wake up these chaps living in sleepy hollow so feel free to .........do your thing. Yes!
