Scarlet Pimple

Dods is the backbone of the team and should be held onto at any cost. At least until the current team matures a bit. Black and Proctor are young and if ICT can get the money for them that they appear to be asking , can be allowed to leave . These two are not currently leadership material whereas Dods appears to be all that and more. :012:

Look--Brewster simply has not got a substantial budget allocated to him to get all four players. I doubt if he can summon up enough cash to get two. The Grocer is definitely not opening his purse strings this season as I see it and I am afraid that Craig Brewster is going to have a hard time getting out of the doldrums this coming season. Benchy, stop speculating --are you bored?--you will have to face the above facts sooner rather than later ;Brew's allocation is sparse , even niggling even niggardly Ha ! :003:

TMFTJ-I knew you were erudite and usually spot-on but this reveals a whole new educational accretion in your resume. Streuth, it's almost beyond the Pimple --for once he is close to speechless. :016: :001:

Insight with a cappital I... :015:

And, as an afterthought, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush--i.e. if Dargo wants to go that badly, why...let the lad go and be happy with $100,000 because that' s still a n awfulk lot of money and ICT have good prospects in the wings don't they? :014:

I didn't laugh at Clive running on the On the Park Forum IHE although I did think it was one of :cheesy01: your most humourous comments.so here is your reward for this one . ha! :021: :016:

I take the same view as Kencar--a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushes :015: :015:

Blackie--the weight would probably bury him. Bit young too isn't he for such a responsibility? :006:

Like a few other players who have endured the ICT curse he may now wish he had not left ICT. In his eyes he may now think that indeed the grass is greener over the fence and if he got a regular place at ICT and scored a few goals and wsa appreciated do you think that would be worth a try--or a try-out.? :014:

Nah! I don't think so--Because when Cyril was rumbled he really got upset and huffy and departed the field in a hurry :027: and you have to admit that Benchy is pretty calm and takes it all in his stride. Has to, D.U. are a hard team to support these days. :011:

Aren't you two orange lads forgetting the terrible Inverness curse which lays it's fickle finger of fate frequently on uppity players (and Managers) who leave in circumstances unbecoming to ICT , especially after we have given them their real start and provided the stage for their talents to flourish. Playing with a new team of spiritless players will , by itself, hasten their demise let alone cope with the curse. Begone you two tangerine tuppers , lick your wounds elsewhere. :002:

Alex--nothing much at all--frankly I can't remember. Just a josh, maybe I felt you were posting a bit too seriously and mentioning your age probably triggered my ...er..."ironic" side. :003:

Let's face it , the guy who cracks negative needs a head review. My first reaction was ''"bah, humbug, ban the post". then I thought, no, just let it run it will draw out the posiutivity in all us fans who appreciate the fantastic efforts of the players ythis season just finished. But I do agree with IHE --we should have won the Champions League and thisa slip up cannot go un-noticed! :016:

:015: :015:

County will be lucky to finish next season......let alone place.. :011:

Didier Agathe--thats a diddy post and no mistake. nah! He could not stand the cold further North than Glen Urquhart. Mind you he could lodge with M.. I suppose and that would keep him South a wee bit for a few hours a day..... :002:

Yup--big splurge on the BBC website about the Italian fiasco. Does not look good based on current statements and evidence. A real disgrace all round. :020:

Hey Alex Welcome to the old boys' club anytime. But the rules for entry have changed--Scarlet has dossiers on all hopeful entrants and a slight honorarium slid in a nespaper to him at the door has gone from non-obligatory to mandatory due to the dearth of good spy jobcommissions since the demise of the cold war. With the war against Iran just over the horizon prospects in my business have looked up but I still needa touch or two- you Do understand. Otherwise...out come the dossiers ....hmmmmmmmm :004:

You got the stats --I completely ageree with you. In fact if the home form hade matched the away form where would ICT be today? Och well we can dream...eh? Its sunny but cold in Vancouver just now --got me a beezer of a sore throat and cold.. Off tae bed- now I am tired of the trollinga round on the site--good fun though. :003:

I join you in not fully understanding this system. More to the point I don't really understand the point of it--of course it probably is designed to make more excitement and money for the top six but tell me somrthing new, eh? But that 58 points opposit ICT look good on the tyable don't they. ? In fact when I heard that Baloney remark on Jim Taylor's show on the ;ast day of the season when he said --"Och Caley are where they are because after the split they are playing the rubbish of the division". Really Jim? Just whupped the Hibees three of four times, Hearts at least once, came awfy close with the "Gers and the Celtic etc etc. C'mon give me a break pal --there is at least a reasonable chance that they would have still garnered more points than the others in the top six had they been allowed to play them---someone tell me I am wrong.... :010:

Absolutely,Caledonian Delight.. :003:

I rep[eat Benchy--I don't think that you have your troubles to seek at D>U> When Brewster the player left some thought ICT woould go down hill a bit--never happened. Five out of five wins at the end. Our team hadss something that perhaps your team has not--honesty of purpose. Good luck with Brew in his third or fourth season --if he survives that long , that is. :017:

And he is smart too.......... I mean whenever I see the name IHE I always read the thread for light relief. Compare to the relief of Mafeking, which was very serious and did not succeed anyway,it is very lightand amusinmg Ho Hum Ho Hum :016:

So what is happening to Juanjo anyway? Anyone got any real gen on this?

County might be wise to accept the Caley thistle bid--if Rankin comes to Tulloch and is successful County will then know that they can train up the troops, sell them on to ICT and benefit financially. And their boys will see Rankin's progress and be anxious to follow him to Tulloch Stadium--home of THE successful team. Ict are no longer wee Highland League material anymore you know.--is that not right IHE? And.. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushhink. :016:
