Or Him and He? :014:

What's QFT--why just Quo Vatis Turkey--as in " Vat is dat mein herr?" :002: Redee 15 "Hope Janjo will play soon"---That's good luv, next post will be "hope banjo will play soon". Top marks for originality. :003: Luv yer spirit luv, luv yer spirit :sillywave:

Ho and Hum.

C'maaaaaan, IHE-we await the disclosure with bated breath. :004:

Well, Roscoe, you think Gretna's Chairman is a "knob" ? When he comes off his deathbed I will ask him what he thinks you are? But ,in the interim, please offer a precis of all the terrible things Mr Mileson has done in your view to merit that moniker , pray? :018:

Even if he is signed for the remainder of the season if at all possible that would inject a bit of swagger and style into the team and hopefully keep supplying Niculae with lovely passes.... :crazy07:

Fair-dos, Fairbrass. Hope this ain't some Fair-ytale :002:

Well, well, what a plethora of varying opinions, hyperbole's, speculation, innuendo and to crown it all off nothing but rumours. Where oh where is the truth in all this? Whether Blackie is guilty of "going over the top" we may never know for sure in the short term but if he has a brain in his alleged hot-head he would have been well-advised to choose diplomatic words to express his honest opinion rather than brutally-frank ones. I am sure that Brew's invitation for the 'air the views" meeting did not include in his mind accepting undiplomatic brutally-frank expressions of opinion slighting him and denigrating him in front of all the players.This scenario is just as likely as Black being in line for the next diplomatic posting to Canada, where all true good men are toothless politicians who themselves pay lip service to Stephen Harper at thre drop[ of a hat. So to be invited to "express your opinions" is clearly in the understanding that each party eill show even a little rerstraint. Therefore, if THIS was the case, then I feel that Brew, as the Manager, does have the right to feel that as the lone wolf he was and is backed into a corner. Whether the staff like it or not he IS the Manager and must keep discipline so....until someone in authority tells us the truth of what actually happened on that dark , crisp,winter morning of discontent I tend to favour his views and statements over that of Mr Black. To summarise, I am now fed up with all the bickering and childish nonsense that seems to be on display at the present time and I wish everybody would remain silent and GET ON WITH THE JOB, which includes playing for the jersey and it also means getting along with the Manager since trying to do anything else will result in disater for everybody. Oh, and a final word--the ghostly lady in question is one of our staff disguised as a keen supporter and was told to go out and manufacture a cloak and dagger mystery story at all costs since the winter blues were in great evidence at Codswallop Hall of late.Maybe it's time to pull the plug and get back down to the spying business where there really is no mystery at all; just skull-duggerey and thuggery----and......woooooHOOOOOO...poison. :angry05:

Pity he is leaving. Their gain is our loss (as a player._)

If you would stop that laughing dog at the botom of your posts I might believe you. Please explain thyself IHE. Gog and magog at work. So we are waiting and all agog! :003: And that's my blog. :004:

If Marius is a wow now then a "bigger" team must be sniffing around soon or even had a rep at Tulloch today. Mark my words. Continual classic performances and he won't be here long--go figure. :022:

Agent N gets the nod. He is our man in Inverness at most home matches, incognito of course. Scarlet is indisposed sovhe asked me to tell you the truth, the whole truth and sometimes nothing like the truth. Agent Orange Right Hand Man to Scarlet Pimple. :002: Codswallop HaLL Fort george Nr Inverness.

No more player Managers. Brewster did well as a player for ICT then stumbled when becoming a Manager. Dodds may be an excellent stopper still, but where is the Managerial experience.....eh? Strachan will soon be available methinks so.....? :003:

Got up at 7a.m as usual, tuned to the Sportsound an got nothing. Woke up real quick and frantically scratched me head--where is the commentary :001:?. And then the penny dropped---The U.K are sleepy heads and forgot to put their clock forward one hour when we did three weeks ago Ha! Ha!

For once, no---for twice, I agree with Johnboy. If the captaincy was given to Niculae he would grow in confidence even more and would have to continue to set the example week in week out that he appears to be delivering now. After all he is the most highly compensated player on the park these days so why not say to him ""O.K. Marius , here is your chance to really show your stuff and leadership. And just think what the Romanian papers will say on Monday.....or the Rangers Board of Directors on Tuesday. :001: You just never know about people until you test them.... :022:

Stevico I don't want to appear churlish or nuffink but why do you so frequently say to posters who disagree with you "in any event it's none of your business what I post". You said that to me recently in response to one of my always mild replies and I can't help musing..."well, if it is none of the business of other posters on here what you post what is the point of posting at all?" Now act out of character please and reply poste-haste. Hoch! Hoch! Failing which I am open to receipt of a snail mail reply --you can send it to the Scarlet Pimple c/o Poste Restante, Vancouver, B.C.. Canada. Hoch ! Hoch! :015:

Hiring Niculae at a wage much higher than the average player destroyed the harmo of the team and was the gaffe of the century. Now Brewster, whether he liked the decision or not, has to face the results of that action. Nothing against Niculae as a person (all things heard seem to be good) but he himself wants to go to a "better club" and moving him on might solve a lot of problems. As for voting on an issue about which swirls only rumours, rumours, speculation and rumours the answer is that I will not vote on that. However, ask me again after the match tomorrow against Aberdeen. ! :011:

Caley D --there was a once upon a time when there were comments expressed that there were a few wordy poets on this forum including Scarlet Pimple. Perhaps especially Scarlet Pimple :004: At that time I spoke to Scarlet and he has since tried hard to keep his posts shorter to short. But when he gets passionate and/ or angry his fuses also short(out) and the cover is blown. The Royal family articles are a case in point. Or his rants about the pensions paid by the DSS to Overseas residents of Ex-Commonwealth countries which never EVER get upgraded for inflation unless you stay in the U.S., or Germany, or Mexico. This is the same with all the aforementioned poets and if that is how they express deep feelings for ICT , or whatever subject they are popping off on , then so be it. We are lucky to have them and also lucky to have the fans who post one-liners because thereby we have balance. And it is often from these rants that we all learn something new about ourselves and the world. What I love about this forum is the give and take and general allowances for differing personalities all linked together by their love of ICT and football. The longer we are on here the easier it seems to be to resolve our differences and get along. Now back to the pipe and slippers and my wee drammy.I appreciate the invitation in the past to visit the Forum as and when I want to.Thanks. :014: Daddy Pimpernel. Codswallop Hall Fort George

Connie...."Nah!" You will do just fine --still got a Spring in yer step and at 46 life is just beginning. Besides, what's the loss of few goals besides the sight of a fine young lass of 5foot 2" darting about in her wee ironed nylon shorts in the goalmouth adding a touch of spice to the current life of drudgery at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. Worth the price of admission alone . Might even start a trend. I am rather partial tae watching the Canadian girls' soccer team mesel'. Not bad footie tae! :cdn: Now, Connie, all you have to do to get intae the first team is to post yer wee photo in the Rogues Gallery and Bob's yer Uncle and ah am nae referring tae that ane frae Canada. His middle name is 'Will o the Wisp". :angel13:

Not a chance. It was crowded with 5,000. CMIB I was eleven when that clip was shot. At first I thought it looked like Bobby Bolt but with that number on his shirt do you really think it was him. For those of us who were not yet born at that time Bobby was the centre half for Rangers prior to this. As I recall he ended his career with Caley at Telford Street. Toothless Bobby but a good player.Sweated a lot..... :023:

Oh My! With apologies to F.W but the nostalgia brought out by these views of my boyhood dream venue--Telford Street Park-gave me goose bumps. This may be the last time I ever see a view of the park. Thanks for that .DBS Well you cannot say the charm and spirit was not there in these days, can you? S.P. :022:

Connie If you look as good in goalie shorts at 46 as Scarlet does at 70 then you have my vote. The forwards of the opposition will be so entranced looking at your gams that they will fall over the ball--especially at penalties. Um--want to compare legs anytime soon? :015: P.S. Today's tip sent in just for you by Canada Bob to commemorate his departure from Ireland..."Legs-11 in the 3 o'clock at Haydock Park." :021:

Commentator says Marius Nicolae completed the mve by heading in "unchallenged". Unchallenged or not, a well-taken goal. Ae we going to bring his brother Daniel to Inverness as well? Never thought of that did you.... :023:

If true why did the club not then get in touch directly with Dennis to advise him of the Agent's reaction and to find out if Dennis agreed with his agent's approach or whether he wanted to fire the agent because of the disruption caused by this agent at such a late hour in the negotiations.? Since, apparently, the club did not attempt to contact Denis as above their explanation seems to be rather lame methinks. :011:

I don't know if the thread is disgraceful but it sure adds to the confusion. I once thought that Dennis' agent was the guy who caused the problem by turning up either late or not at all at the appointed place on the appointed day.That was before Scotty set me right and blamed the club, not Dennis. Now I am not sure what you are saying but it seems to be the opposite---of what? Scotty--time for you to step in here and comment on what the facts are specifically for the record and who, in your opinion, is in fact the guilty party? For me a brief comment will suffice.
