Scarlet Pimple

OCH!

You are welcome, as they say in all the best places in Canada.

Smart business person, smart entrepreneur and smart Executive, We are darned lucky to have Mr. Cameron at the helm .

And we have a few new posters on here as well I think. The enthusiasm must be catching or summat...?

But the weather is much more settled and less cold in the summer isn't it? So, before any of the above suggestions are given serious consideration, is it not just as smart to demand Summer Football from the beaks now. Are the beaks doing anything about bringing Summer football to the Premiership, or all the leagues? Sure--they are holding meetings ...and meetings but I have never read or heard a thing about doing anything about it . Are there any known moves afoot by the clubs working together to demand this? ICT management and the Manager are doing their darndest to provide an above average product so they deserve the right to ...at the very least....try it out. Then the whole family, including the whining and reluctant bairns, can participate. And for that we also need some form of games or entertainment for the families at half time. Otherwise I am going to go into a dwam of frustration and then clinical depression or something? Changes must be rung or the future is bleak. So I say ..TRY IT.

Not ironic but a big surprise that it is Caley D's comment that has brought the older fogies like Buckett back to life and back on here. I miss these former regular posters and the challenges they posed. Ha! Ha! Good to see you posting again and you won't return to OOR WULLIE's seat too soon again. Big man--it takes a as big man to admit the truth. ICT Roughi--I agree that bringing back Greig Tansey was a very smart move. What he loses in ball directional control he makes up for it in effort and a very challenging presence for the opposition players to control. He's a hard player and direct and knows where the goal posts are (but, sometime not always the bar ). Eagle for Caley---isn't it eyrie how the Eagle has Landed from Hibs and the eaglets have rallied to his cause and directives, spreading their wings and fluffing their feathers, like. Let's hope that when they jump from the nest on their first, courageous flight on the great adventure into the unknown that they will not have a pratfall like many others before them. As the wise old eagle intoned to a reporter recently about one of our players (Shinnie?) ..."I think he needs another year under his belt before he is ready for the big jump."

Dougal -- good try and hopefully there will be more positive stuff from you and then your popularity will soar like an Eagle. Crowd -- I did see a figure of 3,500 or was it 3,700. In view of recent turnouts It may be construed as encouraging. Steady, like.

Gentlemen and Ladies of the Jury, please read on:- http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/30150601 That's it. "Nuff said". Kind regards . S.P.

Fouls : ICT 2 - Motherwell 6. Looking for more goals from our front line in the second half since from these stats it seems as if Killie are under the cosh a bit. In the Dundee V Killie match , Kilmarnock have committed 9 fouls.

Nah! Nah! --see that picture to the left of his name.....I think there is life in the old dog yet. Maybe, like Scarlet, he's beginning to lose his memory and is a bit senile, but he still soldiers on like the book trooper that he is --I think? :

Gosh, Golly -- The Longman, eh? Who would have thunk it?

Done and dusted, Donview the doughty. Have you been to any Aberdeen games at Pitter Patter Park this season? Any comments?

Howdy Pards. Yngwie--Woody Guthrie?. You mean Woodrow Wilson Guthrie I presume. Wasn't Woodrow Wilson one of the American Presidents about that time? I have just seen a movie about him, his rise and fall. Quixotic, rover type character. Maverick almost. From Tennessee was he not? Couldn't stay at home with the missus for five minutes. Had to be riding on top of trains and hitching lifts on dusty country roads to ...where? Pi..ed off many music managers because he wouldn't toe their line and sing the songs rhey wanted him to which did not include rabble rousers like ones protesting against poverty and inhumanity in the Deep South .Good musician though, if you kin understand the Southern Lingo then you could get the downhome message just fine. Yep! Have you also heard of Dusty Rhodes? Australian dirt bike rider of great note I do believe. But definitely not from the Deeeep Saaath of Americky. for sure.

....."remember that the grass is often not always greener on the other side"--If we adopted that attitude in our life from the cradle to the grave then we would never get out of the cradle Biggin, and no one who really wanted to, or yearned to, get ahead in life would ever be able to......

For what possible reasons would the sane management of ICT dump Mr Hughes in favour of a player with no management experience at this level? Unless a total disaster befalls the club I can not possibly imagine any such occurrence. If Richie is seen as a future management trainee he will require to start at the bottom like all other prospects. Don't forget he may be very smart indeed and shrewd as a manager but unless you have actually been involved in coaching direct then he will have to learn that part of the trade first hand. Bughtmaster , you are correct . We do have a very smart Chairman AND he is also has character and therefore I foresee that he will loyal to his faithful servants, especially when a good working relationship has been established between them. Now I don't know Mr Hughes personally, but would there be a possibility that he may be considered in due course for a higher position at this club on the basis of knowledge, personality and character. Looking at it from a distance I would suggest--yes.

John Hughes managed to stifle the negativers for a period but now, like the gophers in the prairies of Saskatchewan who appear out of their holes when the snow disappears, to see what's around them, here they manifest again: N for: Negativers, Naysayers, Not helpful, Not uplifting, Naughty, Narky. Even nasty, Not unlikely to depress Nattering about nothing really significant Nebulous at this stage N...... in the woodpile undermines the ship. Note that one swallow does not a Summer make. Nero fiddled while Rome burned but our Management is much smarter and much less mad than him. Notification: We will be in the top three no matter what at the end of the season. Now there's a thing that we should talk about. No player is indispensable and no player can not be trained by John Hughes nor remain at this club for long if he doesn't want to. Never say never, --when there's breath left in the body. Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah Na. Nightie night and remember....never quit 'cos it aint over till the fat lady sings. JINGS!

Very innovative. Deserves great reward. If it brings a lot more fans in to see our team performing as they are then that exactly what we need to foster more enthusiasm to come on in and support the team.

Eagle 4 Caley--I noticed the lovely and lyrical background too. But that's only because I am so sensitive. Just like you, I suppose--- birds of a feather ( an Eagle and a Hawk) flock together? Willie Collum, actuellement, appeared from the highlights to be full of self control and rather good with his decisions. Credit where credit is due, now guys. Maybe he will calm down now. Great highlights, great goals. What a lovely day you got too. One day we will get 4000 souls in the door and then I will be a happier camper. For the life of me I can't understand why more fans don't come to the games. The pitch looks good, the surrounds are idyllic, the players are motivated and generally superb and the footie and commitment is (or seems to me to be) outstanding.

Charles --MAYBE YOU'VE HIT THE NAIL UP[ON THE HEAD!

Poort Willie Collum. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't!

Geez. Scotty-- at that price is it in Technicolor or illuminated by strip lighting? Goodness, what a shocker. I think you will need to think seriously about coming out to Vancouver where the house prices start at $850,000 for an old 3 bedroom detached residence in the city -- which is the reason I moved out to Maple Ridge-- the rain rarely stops in the winter but heat waves are now common in the Summer and the beaches are and the skiing and sports is ...OUTSTANDING. If these images don't turn your crank then ..nothing will. https://www.google.ca/search?q=vancouver+b.c.%2Fimages&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe=&rlz=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=5chaVLjYOcuV8Qf6-oFo&gws_rd=ssl

it is HILARIOUS!
