Scarlet Pimple

hello HELLO- wish to pass ......................what? water?

Haven't seen Rooney since last August when he appeared to be acking in verve. Lackadaisical, like. His saving grace is that he can put them in the back of the net. I think TB should persevere with him but try to get him more excited about doing 1/2 as much work as Imrie then he could be a much more effective player. Currently he may still be a bit too limp for me.

Wot no photgraph? Well that was short and sweet.

Neilds --good for you and glad to learn that you are taking it all in good part. You can have a go at me if you like.... :thumb04: Why not, everyone else has.

Prices too high contributing to the apathy. Also I think it is high time that the SPL was increased to 16 teams. That would surely spark some new life into this league with the injectioin of new blood . It really is tiresome playing the same old few teams week in week out. For goodness sake, under the current system we are forced to get to know every player in all the teams to stave off the boredom.....

Why would he kneed to do that anyway. ? Too much genuflecting down at the local church maybe?

Hello, Hello! Please complete your profile ! Thank you. And then we will all work on finding a way how to get you over here to Inverness where:---- the rain comes down frequently, snow is white, Terry Butcher is our new, inspiring , up-beat Manager, where the Scarlet Pimple never makes a spelling mistake (unlike the Man for the Job who does not yet know that aboard is not spelt a-board) where IHE is our resident psychic side-kick, Tulloch Caledonian Stadium is not in Tulloch but in Inverness, we think that your English is very good but we will find an interpreter for you to improve it. Apart form that just enjoy your visit and send us a wee photograph ... S.P.

Neilds--I can see that you have an exciting life--scanning the Law Court Rolls obviously is not a "dry as dust " or "watching paint dry" hobby for you. I am on fire just thinking about it.

Caley D--best post that I have seen in a while of whileys! And when you see the dark glesses --yese ken ah mean it ! Aye!

Imagine that- 3 pages allocated for this thread on a man who has left us : 1. In the lurch ---when he could have put on the jersey and tried to save ICT from further deterioration 2. Thinking 3. Trying to forget 4. Hoping the name would just go away and not form the basis of countless threads. 5. Trying to make up our minds whether we were sorry for him or just very glad it was all over and "Brewster has left the office" 6. At least have the grace to go to a club which is at least 100 miles away from Inverness. 7. Having that desperate sinking feeling that somehow he would pop up again to remind us of what never happened and to divert our attention in these hallowed threads from talking about T B. 8. Whether he will henceforth be equated with Feb 8's ghosts and haunt us until the cows come home. 9. Feeling it will be at least many months before we forget and concentrate on more positive thoughts --like MOVING ON>>>>>................................................ :029 to something different.

Your words drip on me like soothing honey, Dear.

I really had my doubts about Lionel from the start but he played out of his skin today and his contribution to the team effort must be considered as very supportive and inspiring. And as far as Terry Butcher is concerned maybe not a dream first match but one which clearly gave him great satisfaction and enrgy for the homewared stretc I am sure. To Acharacleoracle for his ....positivity... :thumb04: To the naysayers who are more worried about advertisements than drive, enthusiasm and output I can only say that it was a very exciting and enjoyable game which it is supposed to be --value for money, like; And Mr Strachan appears to be at his wit's end how to break down Inverness these days. His candour seems to be dragged out of him by his frustration and perplexity as to how to deal with that "special something here" referred to by TB in his post-match interview.

Terry today referred to the players and their performance in his post match interview as "something special here"! Although he might not yet be able to quite identify this essence in the team, he may well be referring to the highland spirit which comes from the heart and which has been in so much evidence since ICT came up to the SPL. In fact the progress of several years in the lower divisions must have resulted from this imbuing with the "spirit". In past months this has been stifled and curtailed, but clearly the flame that is Inverness Caledonian Thistle was never extinguished by events as they developed. Today the spirit was in resurgence and must now be nurtured and praised by the Manager, the coaches, the Board and the fans to allow it to once more flower in it's glory for a magnificent inspiring end to this season. :thumb04:

Which post you say Caley D-? -oh ...that one away back. Helps if you notice that there is a 4th continuance of the thread Sm,ile.

Sigh...Caley D --you are sooooooo smart .. Good post.

As for Barroman--do you really feel that he has the capability to make a difference at ICT. ? Seems to be a lanme duck at the moment. Has height but (seems) to chicken out of going for the high balls, runs around but does not seem to create any real danger. Maybe once today he came close but where is the flait \r and gutsy determination. Hate to put any player down a but ICT must now make hard choices. Comment please?

There you go--ask a smart question at ICT Forum and always get polite replies Smile. IHE it is simply that he is trying to tel-egraph a message to you...."Leave me alone--use tel-epathy instead"

IHE-- I am still in the dark as to why TB is refgerred to as TEL? Please bring some light into the dark tunnels of despair suffered by seniors? :thumb04:

In the few moments of time that he was on the park he showed definite determination and skill. He could get a first team berth if he really gets stuck in and shows consistent pace and drive. Interesting prospect . Good luck to him and ICT now.

Zadi header over the bar was a life-saver. This man deserves praise. Up against tricky dicky Robson he stuck at it and when he got goingdown the left wing he was drawing the attention off other ICT players. Great performance today-maybe he needed some encouragement . With Proctoir ...it's Proctor and Gamble ..He definitely needs to improve. Well nigh invisible tofay. Why did ICT not man-mark individual Celtic players? They had so much room to move it is a wonder that they did not score---ICT defence was solid and superb. Helping each other out . And aggressive running Imrie --what can we say. What an example to the rest of the team. Thought Rooney can develop into a classy player but still seems to lack a wee bit of determination and drive--still young is he? By the trime I got into the match and got the video working I missed about first 12 minutes so could not judge Foran . Tokely really stuck at it and basically showed more self control in the tackles today. But his physique is a presence and this is a team game after all.Esson was calm and dealt well with everything ut I have to say he really was not busy. Celtic were pedestrian at times. huffed and puffed and had some good pasing but haerdly a shot on goal... Overall a fantastic game with great atmosphere. This is the stuff to get the crowds back. Well done BT and good luck. (P.S. Any player not mentioned on here --sorry , all did well. Smile)

And Butcher came as fast as possible ---probably came across the border at the CUMBERLAND gap?

He should play any player who merits his place. Butcher's responsibility is to the club and to play his strongest squad. Since the players are in the news just now it would also seem logical that they will be out to parade their talents for the spotlight(s). Then, if they do well, they can all leave without a cloud over their heads and the net return to the club is a much better one than if they have left in acrimonious circumstances.

O.K> Now it is time to stop referring to Brewster and just leave him alone ! He has gone and good luck to him wherever he lands up. Let's now turn our mind permanently in the positive direction of the very shrewd and determined upbeat Butcher. The thing that took my fancy in the past was the rereshing honesy of the mmmmmman. I think he is about to turn mince into Grade "A" Canadian cuts from Alberta.I will steak my life on it. So, Stevico, stay with the pack and don't join the waywardness of Acharacleoracle who will only end up falling into one of his salmon farms in Acharacle. And these salmon are detrimental to the environment since they attract sea lice like flies to rotten eggs. And infect the homecoming salmon and more importantly , the flight to the sea by the newly hatched youngsters ....aaargh...

Yes Jock--so was I. IHE for Captain again or does he still have the energy? Smile.

Now 100% for Butcher. By the way ICT are going to win by one goal on Sunday. Celtic are going to get frenetiic trying to break down the Caley Thistle rearguard . But with a big crowd in attendance all going absolutely nuts this is going to be some game. Can you imagine another "Caley go Ballistic "headline reverberating round the world. :thumb04: Next week is going to be an exciting time chums.
