I thought Wyness did okay yesterday and I honestly couldn't believe it when he was subbed and Headless Chicken 1 was partnered by Headless Chicken 2 (© Harry Chibber). At least Bayne won some of the aimless long balls. There was one point in the first half where we attacked down the right and the ball was crossed into the penalty area. At this stage MacAllister was still ambling around outside the box showing no urgency to attack the crossed ball. Bayne may ot be everyones favourite striker but I bet you he would have been powering into the area to meet that ball.

I'm with Davie as well. I am by no means saying that we should boot CC. Far from it as I can't think of anyone who could come in that would be better than him (don't say Brewster). But if I see an ICT side playing pish I am not going to come on here and lie about it by saying we were unlucky. I will say we played gabarge. Those who were at Tannadice and East End Park will know what it is like to see a truely woeful performance this season. The players will get the praise for the games against Rangers and, erm..... but they will also get criticism when we see dire performances such as Motherwell, Dundee United and Dunfermline. It wouldn't be so bad if there was something good to write home about (for a good example see Killie last week) but the last 2 away days have been painful to watch. There has been nothing positive to take back from Tannadice or EEP. Nothing!

Mr Dargo was in front of us yesterday and he looked a bit shocked when Wyness was taken off for Bayne* *I should point out this is how I read his reaction. It might not have been but this is how I saw it.

I'd rather see us beat Falkirk and St. Mirren than get anything from Rangers.

Was Roy playing? I barely noticed him. He played really well for us up until the Hibs game were I thought he had a cracker but at the minute we can't afford to be carry passengers while we try and get our first win in 9 games now. I think a wee spell on the subs bench for Roy and some others (Rory) and a chance to freshen things up wouldn't go amiss. Let's be honest, we shouldn't be looking to get something from the Rangers game - it's Falkirk and St. Mirren we need to get something from. These are the so called 'bread and butter' games that normally decides which sides in the bottom half survive and what one team is relegated.

That physically hurt to watch today. Complete and utter bollocks. I cannot begin to describe how rubbish that game was. Chick Young may be a bit of a knob but his report was spot on. Dreadful game and easily one of the worst I have ever seen. Rory MUST be dropped for Bayne if Dargo is not fit. Our midfield MUST have some form of structure. It was embarrassing today watching players running all over the place like school kids do. We must try and pass it instead of hoofing it up the park. Thing was, it wasn't even punts up for a target man to hold up. They were aimless punts over the Pars defence hoping someone would run on to them. Rangers will destroy us on Wednesday.

Time for a lot of ICT folk to waken up now - we are no better than Dunfermline or any of the teams below or around us. We are very much in a relegation fight that has a lot of twists and turns to take yet. Remember, it took the worst goal ever scored at the TCS to actually beat Dunfermline a few months ago and today we were dreadful. Worse than Tannadump. Was MacAllister playing? The subs were baffling to say the least and our midfield had no organisation again whatsoever except Black who seemed to know roughly what position and what his job was. Nothing of interest to talk about football wise during that game but the referee was pish. Very much pro ICT but the following decisions stuck out: 1st half - challenge by Tokely on a Pars guy running through. Looked a good challenge to me but Santa will confirm or disprove that. 2nd half - Crawford sent off. 2 yellows in the space of 2 minutes I think. Not sure what the first was but God knows why he arrived some 5 days late to flatten **** and thus receive a meritted 2nd yellow. Stramash 1 - ICT player (Black?) fouled. Muirhead reacts by shoving Black (BBC say Wilson?) in the face and sends him sprawling to the ground. Black booked - no action for Muirhead! Stramash 2 - Black and Pars player wrestle for ball. Both fall over and the entire (and I mean it!) Dunfermline team surround Black including the keeper who has run 50 yards to get involved. All three booked (Black, Pars keeper and Pars player Black tussled with). Blacks Subbing - poor show. He was obviously annoyed with the decisions that had gone against him this afternoon but his reaction was very poor. Then again if you were being subbed for Russell Duncan and had been arguably one of your sides best players I'd be a bit annoyed! :015: Rangers will thump us next week.

Quick! Sack CC based on a rumour a fan has heard!

He might be a niggly wee bawsack but I'd have him up front.

Sorry, why should Brown be dropped? I must have missed what he did last week to deserve it.

What a pish wind up.

:015: :015: :015:

Phew! And I thought we were going to have a serious thread for a minute here.

HI Alan! *waves to Alan* :015:

Cheers for that - passing it onto the St. Mirran lad now :003:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/6196657.stm Good to see Wigan and Birmingham learning from ICT!

And yet playing better than most of our strikers at the minute. He always does this. In fact I think this is the 3rd season he has hit form at the right time to get a new deal.

A spendid suggestion Richard! It's for a Mirren fan who is staying in Sneck over the New year.

At least you'll save/make money by doing that. Doubt you'll miss much!

Caley x 4 anyone?

Anyone know the number for a Sneck taxi firm that can cater for folk in wheelchairs? Cheers.

Source?

I think some of the players would be fine but only if they are performing well at their clubs - which will usually mean that there is a transfer fee to be paid.

No hassle - get her to stay in! :016:

Strictly speaking more of the same would see us closer to the bottom of the table I would imagine... :004:
