I left the Beach Leisure Centre about 30 minutes ago and traffic was still built up around Pittodrie, along Golf Road and all the way along the Esplanade to Bridge of Don. Only heard one siren going off as I neared my flat and most of the police officers were heading back to Pittodrie so maybe it won't be so bad.

I love this Chelsea and dull football stuff. When the two met at Standford Bridge in the league one team passed the ball about and tore the other team to shreds with their attacking play. Who was it? I'll give you a clue. They were playing in blue. Even last night they weren't overly dull. It's too easy an accusation to level at them. As for last night it was clever of Ferguson to shift Ronaldo onto the opposite flank he usually plays on. Ashley "Projectile Vomit" Cole normally has Ronaldo in his back pocket when the two face off. Sticking him up against Essien, wonderful midfielder - average right back, allowed Ronaldo to be as creative as he would normally be and he caused real problems in the first half. United should have been at least 3 up before half time. Chelsea got that bit of luck and really went at Man Utd but for all the shots they had (24) only a fraction hit the target and VdS was never overly tested. United were much quieter in the 2nd half. The Drogba incident was ridiculous and well spotted by the linesman (I think). To run as far as he did to get involved as shocking and he cost Chelsea a pretty reliable penalty taker in getting sent off. Whatever advantage Chelsea might have had over United going into penalties swung back the other way with that red. Anelkas kick was overly bad but VdS guessed early and pulled off a good save. The ball was at a nice height for him. Ronaldos kick prior to all of this was woeful. His stop - start technique was going to come undone someday and what a stage for it to fall apart.

Who are the clique?

I'm sure your post was :tic01: and you are right people will complain about absolutely anything. Even when Tomming Cumming pretends to be Mike Smith. :015: Well you're no fun - what can people complain about now! :004: Another list then: No sausage rolls at half time Our flat pack stands Away fans in the Home end Mike Smith Late subs Atmosphere The Singing Section The car park

There's plenty of Non ICT moans people can have. I just thought of a few ICT related things folk could still moan about. I forgot Rory McAllister though...

Does anyone on here or from the club know if you will be able to renew your season ticket online? For the sake of simplicity, because I am a bit simple, I will probably use snail mail and the forms provided by the club but it might be of use to some people if they can do it online.

I reckon we could moan about: Season Ticket prices Under 8s getting in free The new strip not likely to be here until October No signing news Players leaving left right and centre Flags in the stadium Stewards Or use the Things that really bug you thread in the Anything Goes forum :004:

St. Mirren can already offer more than us in wages before this stadium deal.

I see you can now buy tickets for ICT games - well the Liverpool one anyway, using a new online facility: *e - Tickets* Hope to see this used next season as it will allow people to get their tickets right away less hassle compared to phoning, emailing etc. A good move by the club :003:

The Innes putting in pool tables that cost ?1 for a game! :008:

It's almost as if Brewster is surprised that he can't get a hold of Wyness after he was dicked about by ICT. I don't see why he would ant to sit down with ICT again to see what they have to offer when he had a good, firm offer from the Saints that secured his future for another couple of seasons in the SPL. Brewster yet again comes across as a rank amatuer in the managerial stakes with this latest episode. I am beginning to wonder if anyone at ICT comprehends just how difficult next season will be. Hamilton, as has already been mentioned on here, are no Gretna. We won't be relying on them to save ourselves next season. With the numbr of players on the way out of the TCS we need a good few coming in to replace them of better quality. This summer is perhaps going to be one of the most challenging in ICTs history.

MacPherson confirmed the signing last night after the Rangers game and the Buddies website was also reporting it as well was it not? I don't blame Wyness for walking after the way his contract situation was handled. He needs security and ICT haven't given him that and all Brewster wants to do is "talk more". Saint Mirren have given him an offer, it gives him security for another couple of years and he has been looking at a new house in the South for a wee while now. I don't blame him for wanting to sort his future out instead of hanging around waiting for an offer to come his way.

*Wyness sold on Buddies ambition - P & J* Important word there - ambition! Something that seems to be distinctly lacking at ICT at times, especially if what Alan Savage said recently is to be believed. I think it was clacher_holiday2 that summed up ICT pretty well with the phrase "congratulatory back slapping in the Heathmount" with regards to being happy where we are right now. What we need is to drive the club forward so that other clubs and their ambitions do not superseed our own as is currently happening e.g. St. Mirren, Falkirk.

Are you wearing extra large, padded out ICT shorts or are you just pleased to see me?

*40 staff made redundant*

Incidentally Marcus is out for at least another 6 months due to injury anyway.

What are you wanting Brewster to say? Simply that he is looking to bring in this, that and the other? Just wondering what he is meant to say in a situation like this. Other people aside from Brewster will be doing scouting though. It won't just be up to the Manager and I would expect that ICT have a few players on their radar that they have been checking out (Byrne is heopfully not one of them!). Most of our scouting is done over the bridge anyway :004:

Because you post a lot of stuff I disagree with and I am arguing points that I disagree with. I thought that was the whole point of a message board? I do it with a lot of people and I would imagine people do it with me so don't play the "Woe is me" card here and simply be prepared to back up statements you make that others might disagree with :003: He shouldn't be signing any old crap though. I would have been fizzing if we picked up McNamara or Darren Young like Falkirk and Aberdeen have done. Finding the right player will take time. More so in Brewsters case perhaps. But I'd rather he took his time and weighed up his options than sign guff like Byrne (for example).

I think ICT will have been unhappy not have been ahead before being reduced to ten men as we had the better of the chances before Proctors dismissal. After that, while we still had opportunities to go in front, St. Mirren had us on the back foot at times and in the end a draw was about right. Straight from the kick off we put ourselves under pressure when a slack Tokely pass across the centre of defence was seized upon by Dargo who picked the ball up and drove towards goal. Proctor was keeping close attention and eventually, when attempting to put in a challenge, only succeeded in bring down the former Inverness man resulting in a free kick to the Saints. Had Hastings not been tracking back with the ICT defender it could have been worse for Proctor but he was only awarded a yellow card. From the resultant free kick, taken twice after Niculae broke early from the wall, Home keeper Fraser easily held McCays shot. ICT retaliated when a surging Imrie run down the left side resulted in a cross being fired across goal which found ICTs Player of the Season Don Cowie at the back post but he was unable to steer the ball into the net instead firing over much to the relief of Howard in the Buddies goal. Inverness were on the attack again when a McBain cross was knocked down by Paisley bound Wyness to Niculae but the Romanian was unable to dig the ball out from under his feet as he was surrounded by Saint Mirren defenders who cleared the danger. An Imrie free kick was the next attempt on goal but the former Bully Wee star sent the ball wide of the post. Imrie threatened again as more direct running down the left saw him cut infield and send in a shot high towards goal which Howard was able to deal with. Saint Mirren threatened in spells in the first half as well. A superb cross field pass found right back Barron in acres of space. McBain was slow to close him down and gave the Saints man the time to send in a wicked ball right across the six yard box which left Fraser scrambling as Dargo closed in. Luckily for Inverness Dargo was unable to connect with the ball and it trickled out of play and away from danger. Yet again Dargo was involved as Saints built upon their good spell of possession. A Mehmet through ball found Dargo who headed towards goal but was shackled all the way by a determined Imrie who eventually won the ball off him continuing his strong start to the game. Barry Wilson, fresh from signing a new 6 month deal at Inverness sent in a cross which Wyness attacked but he was unable to out Inverness in front. Wilson was next to threaten as he sent in a testing drive which Howard palmed to safety. A wonderful passing move down the right involving Wilson, Tokely and Cowie set Wyness up again but yet again he failed to find the target. Even more staggering was the miss from Wyness minutes later. The ball ricocheted in the box before dropping to the feet of Wyness who somehow contrived to miss from inches out. Marius Niculae had been having a quiet game so far. He was next to test Saints keeper Howard with a drive the just flew over. This was to be the final action of the first 45 minutes in which Inverness had had by far the better chances but Saints still looked threatening on occasions too. Into the 2nd half and ICT nearly shot themselves in the foot again with another defensive mix up. Shoddy play at the back allowed Billy Mehmet the chance to put Saints in front but he was unable to take advantage as he blazed over. Inverness retaliated with a Niculae header which had Howard scrambling to save. A powerful effort from Saint Mirrens 22 was gathered by Fraser as the game started to open up a little. A Cowie half volley from a Wilson cross squirmed wide of the goal before Inverness were reduced to 10 men after another collision between Proctor and Dargo. With the ball on the far side touchline, a clever through ball sent Dargo scampering away towards goal with Proctor in hot pursuit. The players tangled and Proctor was shown a straight red for a professional foul leaving Inverness to play the remainder of the game with 10 men. Dorman tried his luck from the subsequent free kick but the ball flew over. Imrie was causing problems down the left hand side and drew Barron into a crude foul which set up another chance for Inverness. The free kick found its way to Niculae who had his header cleared by the Buddies rearguard. Brewster shuffled his pack by withdrawing the misfiring Wyness and tightened up the midfield with Black coming on. Wyness was given a standing ovation by the Home crowd in what is likely to be his last game for ICT before joining Saint Mirren in the summer. With the withdrawal of Wyness, Niculae was left to plough a lone furrow up front and he was next to threaten when a darting run saw him squeezed off the ball by three Saint Mirren players. Roy McBain cut in from the left and drove towards goal before unleashing a thundering shot. Unfortunately the shot was hit with his right foot and the ball ended up heading towards the Moray Firth! Saint Mirren then nearly took the lead through an unlikely source as Tokely came close to sending the ball into his own net as Saint Mirren upped the stakes as the clock wound down. A cross to Dargo found the goal shy striker in space but his low shot was saved by Fraser. There was a contentious moment when Bayne looked to have handled in the area with a cross *** shot that was drive at him. It was debateable whether he could have done anything about it but it might not have been too surprising if Eddie Smith had given a spot kick. Bayne, with plenty of time, inexplicably thumped the ball out for another corner under no pressure which prompted a verbal spat with Hastings over the needless pressure put under the ICT defence because of Baynes hurried clearance. Dargo threatened again with a shot that crept wide of the left hand post and Jim Hamilton was the man on the end of another Saint Mirren counter attack but he too was unable to put St. Mirren ahead as he shot at Fraser. Despite a good start to the game ICT were clinging on at the end with only 10 men after Proctors dismissal. They should really have been ahead before then but were unable to take their chances with Wyness guilty of some awful misses. However Saints had some chances of their own and will have been disappointed not to have taken at least one of them. It would seem that is Wyness's last game for ICT so best of luck to him wherever he might turn up next season. He's been a great player for ICT and I'm sorry to see him go. ------------------------------------------------------------ If Admin people wanted to use that for this site feel free.

It would appear that Brewster is wasting his time as most of us already knew... ...P & J

Roy McBains stunner against Gretna at Fir Park - even he looked shocked that he had scored it! :015:

That post wins the "Clutching At Straws Award" 2007/08 :015:

I'm not saying you shouldn't ask to get a ticket. What I am saying is that you found yourself, all too recently, in a very similar position to the OP and yet you are being very harsh on him because you think he's made no effort. Again, and maybe you missed this part, he didn't have time to phone the stadium/post a personal request on the internet to get something sorted so the only chance he had was on Saturday? As for disecting your posts I would call it arguing/debating a point. Surely you can't expect to post certain things without being challenged about them and being able to back them up? :confused05:

Do you just pick out any old name from thin air? There is no chance of us getting Glenn. If he were to leave Hearts (on loan) it would be to an SFL1 team. Richie Byrne is atrocious.
