Tichy_Blacks_Back

starchief I think we are quite safe from Stevie Frail turning up at Caledonian Stadium. In the home dug-out anyway....

Would that be Charlie Christie or Barry Wilson ? Mr K - if on offer and they were willing then I would be happy with both....

I think I am warming to the idea of Archie Knox also with an ICT man as his assistant....

Yip not to be misunderstimated....

Official site - John Docherty comments Getting the players spirits up for Saturday's game seems a strange comment.... PS - Sutherland out for 3 weeks after training injury....

CD - I totally agree - as an Ipswich fan I have total respect for Terry Butcher the player - he has good contacts both north and south of the border but I do not think he is the right appointment for us....

Would he be allowed on a plane looking like this.... We can't say he didn't give his all.... Basis of a design for that all white new away strip - just a little too much red in it maybe....

Yip - that will do nicely with goals from Black and Rooney....

Times Article The article in the Times would seem to suggest that Butcher is still based in the SE of England.... Times Review of Four in the Frame Terry Butcher - The Scotland assistant manager is known to want to get back into club management. He is also said to be Inverness Caledonian Thistle?s wanted man. But would he be prepared to be based in Inverness? Some believe that the geography alone might put him off. John Robertson - The former Heart of Midlothian and Scotland striker has already been an Inverness manager (from 2002-04) and was deemed to have done a good job. He would love the job back, but doubts are said to persist in the Inverness boardroom about bringing him back. Still has a base in Inverness but not the favourite. Archie Knox - The perennial No 2 and drill-sergeant of the Scottish game is back on the market after being sacked by Blackburn Rovers. Knox suffers a bad press as a ?yesterday?s man? but some of the most respected names in football ? not least Sir Alex Ferguson ? claim he knows the game inside out. In his favour, Inverness want experience at the helm. Derek McInnes - Is seen as the coming man of Scottish managers, having fashioned St Johnstone into an attractive and successful side in his 14 months in charge at McDiarmid Park. But relative inexperience counts against him.

Cringe!!!!!!!! It was DREADFUL. Hosted by an old guy called John Mearns who was something of an Alf Garnett lookalike, it was basically a bunch of folk with Robbie Shepherd accents and dressed up in farming gear singing songs round the fire. Strewth - sounds like Aberdeen's travelling support.... :thumb04:

Now that's a better list - the new manager is in that one....

It has started and now there will be quite a few more coming out and having their say. I thought the comments made by both players though have been quite honest but respectful and hopefully it stays that way. It will be good to see Black back in the starting 11 and what better place than at Tynecastle and a goal....

Blimey an ICT fan in Manc ! You do realise that for nearly 40 years there were 2 of us!! Tell me, do you dress to the blue or the red side........? Sorry to disappoint you but neither - if pushed for a preference though I would come down on the light blue side. My wife's first game at the new stadium was a 3-0 humping of united but unfortunately for me I was away with work so missed that experience. As Old Trafford is only a couple of stops on the tram for me I tend to go down there when I am here.... Just heard that Robinho has walked out on city - the saga continues....

I can't believe that - not even Hughes would be seen inside the Stonemasons Arms - if you had said The Orange Tree then I might have believed you.... :thumb04:

Elvis Costello's PUMP IT UP rip off - like others though it gets better with a few listens but wouldn't say it is a classic....

likewise in the book depository.... :thumb04:

David Winters I believe.... Livi Signings

Herr B - suggest you read the latest BBC Chick Young blog to see how a football reporter (allegedly) can indeed self harm but not know it....

In that article has Terry's head grown or is it just a bad cut and paste?

Until reading the U19 thread I had forgotten all about Alec Cleland (ex pro - North and South of the border with good coaching experience at Livi and ICT) - could he be given the job until the end of season with CC and A N OTHER in a support role....?

OR Alec Cleland....

WOT no Colin Calderwood

Don't usually read anything Chick writes but gave this one a go - deary me makes Herr Bannerman's efforts look like Shakespeare.... The famous Walter Smith interview just sums him up.... Walter v Chick He has been backing us for the drop every season since we arrived in the SPL and now he thinks he is going to be right - yet another reason to get off the bottom (and take home the Scottish Cup preferably aginst St.Mirren)

Alex an admirable post that I agree with - but leopards and spots come to mind for some - it is just a question of who or what will be next - that is the power the internet has given.... Anyway as you say let's hope for a new level of togetherness at Tynecastle that ends in 3 points

Just like the clip they are using on BBC News 24 sports at the moment sadly....
