Scarlet Pimple

Absolutely--bring on Rory and all the other younsters. You just never know what might happen.... :022:

IHE--if you are abot to tell us what is wrong please get on with it--the suspense is..... :016:

I remember the name well--but exactly in what context I cannot truthfully recall. Football of course, but the team...? With a name like that how could a young boy forget it. ? :004:

Heilandee--well that explains everything in detail. :029: You mean ....like....to back up the whole hard-rive one needs to do it file by file? C/maaaaaaaaaaan! Be nice and help an old 'un out before his withers wither and die. No, no, no, that remark was not intended to be withering,,,maybe blithering Hoich ! Hoch! ? And, Manfer, there is no need for you to reply --I already know the answer? Ha, ha! ? :012:

And if Brewster is fired who will ICT attract? A mature experienced Manager?Not without a fortune being offered. And have the Board not tried that with one of the players and got only mixed results. Thirdly maybe a younger less experienced Manager but one who has the drive and passion ? So , in this case, how long should he be given to find his feet, get the experience under the belt and be a strong hand on the tiller? Would that time be long enough to allow ICT to avoid relegation? Well, that's a doubtful one for sure. :024: My prediction anyway is that Brew will NOT be fired--he will be given another chance for next season, which , all things considered might also be the fair thing to do --unless ICT lose all the remaining matches of course when the calls for his head will be strident. The one nagging factor in all this which worries me is whether the suggestion that he may be a yes man as part of his contract and or ,as a result, part of the devisive politics behind the scenes and so forth is true. Which if true means that he is not hios own man and the situation will definitely get worse befiore it gets better. So I really do wish that those of the punters on here who have mentioned this stuff as being a problem would come right out in the open and tell us all what their take on this is , in detail. I predict, however, that this will not happen and the fans will drift away from the Tulloch until a radical re-think takes place . In fact the trend now is so obvious, accentuated by the apparent lack of confidence in the players, that I think it is all probably going to get worse before it gets better. Go on, tell old Scarlet he is wrong. I want to hear your views. :007:

Caley D -my sentiments exactly. Give the youngsters a chance. After all what other resources does ICT have for the future.? :029:

Looks like us overseas fellas will have to go back to our well-worn non-existent audio broadcasts. Oops --I did hear the last few moments of yesterday's match because I did not know/expect it was even being broadcast. Sigh...moving right along :023:

Hamish Er.. I was just wondering...how do you update it--do you just put it in and wiggle it about like? Or Do you put it in and press some buttons . SP :004: Seriously .. :003:...I would like a detailed answer.

Thank you Hamish. Just pipped Scotty to the post no doubt. I will be sure to get a big one and I'll put it in a drawer to make sure I don't lose it. :016:

Whew! Hope the players' wages can be found to allow for the season to complete. Best way out. No relegation worries for ICT (hopefully), players get paid, Gretna exits with grace,rules probably get changed and everyone heaves a great sigh of relief. :016:

Can you use a USB to back up your computer and , if so, can you update it from time to time so that it alwqays reflects your hard drive content? :023: SP

The one and only thing that I strongly deprecate about IHE is his spelling. Anyone who is a somebody knows that bollicks is spelt bowlocks. :002:

Wait a minute here. There is something very unfair about this. It has also been and still is about the good little'un making good -- or the minnow in a large pool of bigger fish trying hard to get a leg up in life.That was where the fun and the uplifting of the spirit happened. Now what on earth is wrong with that? As has been said before, Caley and Thistle were small clubs at one time and a joust with a "big" club from the former first Division in Scotland was in former times a "romantic adventure" and , at worst, a glorious chance to make a name for themselves and a pile of money.And when they failed to win the Scottish Cup in the past did anyone say '''oh, jeez, why did we ever let such poor teams into this classy arena"? It is far too simplistic now to trot out the convenient platitudes about Gretna never having been a serious contender for SPL longevity and currently a non-contributor and a basic pain in the bottom to have in the SPL? Oh Really? Well, there but for the grace of God go I it may be said of quite a few other current SPL clubs. There is surely more than an element of hypocrisy here where the occurrence of misadventure becomes a major crime and where the unfortunate upon whom this has fallen automatically becomes the butt of scathing denunciation and opprobrium. Hindsight is very nice to have is it not? And even if Mileson bankrolled the club to success so what? Are they the only club that has ever arisen from obscurity to be successful because of the backing of powerful individuals who, themselves, had a dream? Are we all now so cynical about the necessity to have money or the lure of money to have lost all genuine admiration for any person who dares to use the resources at his or her disposal to further the ambitions attendant upon a dream? What if Gretna had actually not ended up bottom of the SPL like ICT may have done at any time in the last few years? Would they have attracted praise instead just because the vagaries of life and the twists and turns of the game allowed them to be one single place above another team--a "break" perhaps which might have lead them on to greatness in the future? You make up your own mind but I think it is a sadder tale than just a reason to crow or sneer?

TMFTJob @@#4%$$$^&****@#$*****?@%%$!++*%%%##$~~~~||$^&& !!!!!! I am going to send you a diplomatic note... :blah01:

Wyness Legend--if I thought that you were serious then I would be serious-ly concerned. Otherwise what you say is bowlocks--that's the same as rowlocks on a boat except that they are at the back.. :002: And what you have just said is a whine against IHE.. go figure. :011: which in turn has depressed my spirits. IHE frequently tries to lift all our spirits by penning imaginative challenging OPINIONS (not whines) , highly artistic meritorious, critically-acclaimed, supremely funny pictures. These evidence a person of great tutored merit, different mentality and a loyal caring fan....... Now back to the pipe and slippers and my Jack Daniels whusky since it is my birthday today--Do not ask how old is this Scarified Pimple -- old enough tae be yer faither W.L so be nice and behave yersel......eh? :001: :cdn:

Yes 100 pounds for a top is incredible. My dentist charged me about 75 pounds to remove a tooth last year (half an hour--poor boy he had to struggle s-o-oo hard)so I am sure I could have had the chipped one filled :016: for at least 100 quid. LOL

IHE has been remarkably quiet of late :sillywave: to IHE

The reality is that Mr Brewster is always going to find something praiseworthy about any team on the day, regardless . That's his job as he sees it. He gets well paid though but what a thankless task week in week out..... Best just to ignore most of what he says and form your own impression of the performance, otherwise it's bound to be "same old, same old". One thing about Craig, however, is that his fluency of talk has improved -relaxing more leading to greater confidence obviously. :004:

Reliably informed--well there is always IHE... :016:

The core is about the money :011:

Wife's shoes where she just flops them off her feet. Usually just inside the front door where I can fall over them--or worse, stand on them wiothout me slippers on.... :029: Do you lot remember what a starting handle is or was? Had one once with a mind of it's own..Nearly took my thumb off in a backfire on me 1935 MG sports. Great for getting started after a stall when your battery was dickie. :016:

OOH what a lovely lad. He has hair. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EE ba goom!. LOL :015:

Rory--biggest man on the park was he? Might as well give him his second chance --everything else is stale as heck it seems. :016:

Hart--give him a chance. At least he surely would inject determination into the squad. Or run out of h(e)art in this team at this time I .....wonder? :rolleyes02:

Listened from afar but Inearly fell asleep it sounded so depressing. I got a feeling that the team spirit and buoyancy is under great strain. Unless the Hearts have had an unexpected revelation.? :023:
