Scarlet Pimple

I tried to post a longish post but an advert sent it to the moon. Nice one Cyril Briefly, Black was poor, Foran seemed to find too much amusing in this fixture maybe judging by his relaxed smile today instead of scoring when he had the chance. Kerr was great at blasting over the bar but demonstarted nothing else in the way of skill or controlled determination with vision. Tokely should get a rope and crampons since he tried to demonstrate a passionate desire to climb on top of the opposing player. But then again, maybe the guy would have scored anyway had he not been dragged down. Undoubted red card though. Imrie was almost non-existant. Lionel seemed uneasy but tried hard on the day.Fraser was perfectly adequate considering he had little to do and probably had little chance with the goal. Our defence needs to be strengthened significantly and they simply did not have what it takes today . MacNamara had a field day on the right wing ,with oodles of free territory to play in--did nobody think it would be a good idea to man-mark him closely since all the danger came mostly from him? Fer Freddies's sake!!!! Odhiambo looked the part with skill and pace but five minutes was not enough to make a difference. The shape was not there at the end and so free-flowing football was not there either. It was a hit and miss effort at best. As for everybody else Duncan tried when he came on but for the most part I can't even remember now who was on the park....? Need I say more? ICT were in the ascendancy and had the better chance of winning until the sending off then it was anybody's guess......... Falkirk were there for the taking since they looked slow and pedestrian at best in the last several games I saw in the SPL highlights over the past few weeks. A poor SPL team and both John Hughes and Terry Butcher have a mountain to climb now to build on the lucky escape and the challenge of relegation respectively. Truthfully, John Hughes got really lucky today !! Good luck to him. Maybe next year he won't be so lucky unless he can inject more spirit and urgency into this team.It's not that difficult to retain possession and play one-twos against ten men. The sending off re-kindled their confidence , not quality and urgency, and ICT got dis-organised after that. And my final thought is that Craig Brewster should now fade from the scene completely and comments on here should be all about Terry Butcher, rebuilding the team for the future man by man, the clearing out of players and giving Terry the full responsibility and backing to do what he can to salvage the unfortunate situation . Let Brewster get on with his job and concentrate on Butcher who has a challenge ahead of him now. If the Board then can stabilise the finances of the club then they are discharging their reponsibilities and judicious spending on new players with the right attitude and spirit is essential. This defeat could actually be a good opportunity to start again and hopefully allow ICT to come back up to the SPL in short order , restored in spirit and confidence and determined to learn from the mistakes of the past WITH HUMILITY. :014:

Scpotty My VPN is not working --will not authenticate password. Any thoughts. Already missed 20 minutes of the game. Scarlet?

Amen to that. The Pimple is a man of few words.

I won't answer that Rennie. I'm really nice....... :024:

What the SFA need to do in a very progressive bold21st century action is to introduce video instant replays as a feature of the modern game. Would silence a lot of negative fan comments and settle player's hashes immediately and save an unsighted referee from unfair criticism. Another little bit of overseas comment from a Canadian Pimple. Red flag, red appearance,and always redy aye redy fer a laugh. P.S. Eric the Red came to Newfoundland after colonising and being thrown out of Greenland. :024: that's

If Lionel can get up and among them he will have th Falkirk backs running around like a Bullen a china shop. :024:

The origins of this word were fully explained in the famous Children's classic Gullible's Travels. This delightful story highlighted all the adventures and emotions available to us all in this lifetime, including enduring the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, sailing on an unforgettable trip in HMS Sneck to the Banana Islands under Captain Courageous aka IHE and how to read the Captain's posts and trip logs without the involuntary jerking motion of one's tongue making a bee-line for the innermost lining of one's cheek. It was written by Daniel Defoe who also co-wrote Defoe is not Deenemy and Robinson Carousing with Edgar Allan Poe who incidentally invented chamber pots in the mid 19th century. If you are still reading this and have not yet savoured the true essence of the feeling of the aforementioned tongue on it's unstoppable journey sideways inside your mouth then you are undoubtedly ......... GULLIVER. :024:

It's the Manager's responsibility to play Lionel in a position where his talents can come to the fore and there is a limitation to the damage that can result form mistakes. Considering the number of times this athletic hardworking man has done things right and saved the team's bacon, usually at the last ditch moment ,over the past several games I hope that the slagging posters on here will go easy on him next season. Personally speaking I find it baffling to say the least that these posters cannot even see this when it is staring them in the face. Meantime, Terry, the Scarlet Pimple and Renegade recommend a spell on the left wing for Lionel on Saturday to allow all of the above to work. A rampaging bull in Falkirk's china shop would cause enough shock and awe to satisfy the most rabid fan I muse........ :024: Kind regards Terry from Western Canada and the very best of luck in two days time. go Lionel go.

Mostly it's bafflegab-- a phrase coined in the dim and distant past to explain balderdash dsigned to confuse. Smile.

Renegade--I feel that you like controversy. Good on yer--you have every right to express your opinion, although to be fair it is more of a question than an opinion is it not? But don't apply to the Diplomatic Service since I hear they are fresh out of Application Forms written in sulphuric acid which you have requested--Agent Orange accessed their data banks and filched this gem from the Employee files. Oh by the way just to cheer you up, if ICT (oops "we") win on Saturday I will stop referring to ICT as ICT and will substitute the word "we" instead as you requested. However, this is conditional on the fact that prior to Saturday you will not post any more challenging, controversail nerve-jangling posts. Agreed? Now I assume that you don't mind if I use an emoticom now to truly evince my invincible feelings ? :024:

Did he not kick one off the line as well?? From the video highlights the guy seemed cool, confident and played some really fast football going forward--- put some nice balls into the box too. Very impressive stuff. Put Lionel on the left wing and tell him to run like fun.....can't lose. He is too big and fast to stop and he can cross a ball. The way Falkirk played last saturday , so lethargic and insipid, he could be our winner.

Rangers should crush him with the size of the fine..unbelievable . High time video was introduced into football. It is very successful in the very fast -paced North American National Hockey League and rarely used ironically. But it is there to adjudicate if necessary.

I've stopped biting my nails, I am just picking at the skin surrounding them now. Oh shoot I've just looked down and some are bleeding..... I could never go to this game __ I think my heart is in great condition but why tempt fate....eh? ;)

If you think by selling Imrie the club will get a \very large sum of money right up front then I suggest you think again. In Hearts' financial state there will be more future considerations than immediate cough-ups I fear. And what if, in this circumstance, the Hearts go broke in the meantime ---well I suppose Imrie could toddle back up the road to Tulloch stadium.

IHE--when I suggested that you splice the main brace what I meant was get back on the fo'castle of HMS Sneck and steer the good ship to calmer and safer waters. And there you go--what do I get...? And where did you park Sneckie fer heaven's sake--I need her to ferry me to the annual reefer party at the Hall in the Fort tonight. A lad who also thinks that when I say reef the main sale he runs off at the toot and gets into my reefers. Sigh--life can really get tejious .....eh? :(

Well I am really annoyed with Renegade. He let the cat out of the bag and that after swearing him to secrecy. I have long been of he opinion that Lionel should be transferred to the left wing out of harm's way and in that position he would cause consternation in the opposing defences with his strength and flair. And there Rennie goes telling you this salient fact as if it is his own idea. Jepers--that's what I get for coming on here late..... :(

You mean Roscoe enjoyed attempt to kill Cerny or you enjoyed the game? Betting is that it is the latter.....

Johnboy . That is what I figured--should have finished bbetter against ten men....... Sigh ..Still not out of the woods. Nail biting end to the eason then.

Jock Watt--how's the weather in Aussieland?

No body in the chatroom --must be all at the game.

6.25 a.m. herein Westyern Canada--early rise. Urg!

If it is not legally-binding then why is it referred-to as "a contract" ? Look up the definition of a contract --basically it is an offer requiring an acceptance.If it is not in writing then there must be valid witnesses to the agreement validated by some form of attestation( e.g. Notarised); but if in writing the signatories to it must be witnessed by certain specifically designated types--e.g. a Citizen of the realm-- it must be dated and requires the signatures of the offerer and the acceptor and contain the terms offered, or these terms changed to suit either party but with the specific changes initialled by both parties signifying acceptance. Maybe there is a "get-out" clause in this case allowing either party to be released from the Agreement at will but that would sem to be a rather pointless exercise so it would appear , at first sight, that both parties are legally bound by this typw of agreement . Need to read the Terms though.

EH????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Can't think of a thing to say against Mr Butcher. And if we can get through this season still intact as an SPL side I for one will consider the second half of this season as a resounding success, taking into account all that went before. Next seasson will be the test--for both T Butcher and the team. No doubt there may be the odd new face in the team but I dont think the money can be there to make wholesale changes., unless some usefuloney comes in from transferring existying players. So If we can again get through next season with a few outstanding performances along the way, a regenerated defence line and a forward line that gets better and better as the season advances then that will be a very satisfying year for ICT and me.

Eh em sorry but eh kent make it---Zoom Airlines did not pay their fuel bills and were grounded--permanently. Sigh! Life get's tejious don' it?
