If no Black then maybe we will see Elliott on the bench

As Aristotle once said "one swallow does not make a summer" but as stated on another thread I do seriously believe the winter transfers made by the bottom SPL clubs will be the major factor in determining who goes down. Ok yesterday it was Partick Thistle (who are currently only a first division side albeit at the right end of the table and playing well this season) but we did get a home win and kept a clean sheet - which after 11 home league games and only one win is a minor success. There has been a lot said on the website since his appointment and having been unsure about his appointment in the first place and then being neither fully pro or anti Brewster since, I do though currently believe that changing any of the managers at the helm of the bottom clubs now will not improve anything as this is a very tight league this season and St.Mirren have shown what a few wins strung together can do (though they could be still be relegated if they don't continue to perform). I don't think there is anybody associated with the club either inside or on the terraces who don't recognise that the playing staff at the club needs to be refreshed further and now is the perfect time to make a serious attempt to do that and I am glad that the club is looking at several new faces coming in. If we have to carry a slightly larger than normal squad until the summer then I think that is what will have to happen as one or two additions will not be enough as the similar quality of the squads around us means we have to see an improvement in all areas of the team to ensure a better performance in the second half of the season. Here's hoping that we will put together a number of wins on the back of yesterday's result and move us up the league. Herr Brewster January could be your month, yesterday could be your Nottingham Forest match and Morais your Mark Robins. Please prove that is the case.

Worrying isn't it....here's hoping that we will have a couple of good signings coming in but I just can't see it happening at present....

Falkirk 1-1 (1 pt) Hearts 0-1 (0 pt) Kilmarnock 1-2 (3 pt) Celtic 1-0 (0 pt) Dundee Utd 1-3 (0 pt) St.Mirren 2-0 (0 pt) Aberdeen 0-3 (0 pt) Motherwell 3-2 (0 pt) Rangers 0-3 (0 pt) Seems I was extremely over optimistic with my 11 point prediction - 4 points were all that was achieved. With Motherwell's win over Hearts last night it looks like it will be down to one of three - ICT, Falkirk and Hamilton - to take the drop. The signings made over the January period by all 3 clubs will be crucial....

Any word on the potential new kit?

Play against Hamilton - would never be offside and I could give Mr Esson a hand with those tricky corners and crosses....

:018: :015: :D - there is very little if any pure scottish gene pool left if such a thing ever existed in the first place and if you are looking for it you won't find it in Inverness that is for sure With a little research you will all find that you have probably got a foreign element in the family somewhere (or worse an English person :thumb04: ) ....and what to do then.... ;) PS - where is the dark lord it has been very quiet on here recently without his prophecies? He's not been banned has he?

Indeed - more accurate would probably be Herr Obergruppenfuhrer....but 1983 was a long time ago.... :thumb04: Unfortunately back to the initial topic though - what is the latest news on the upcoming meeting....?

Herr Bannerman there could be another book in this for you.... :thumb04: ;) :018:

Morton @ Home @ 2.20 - ta muchly

Brewster?

He'll be off as well then....Merry Christmas indeed....

In desperation and as it's christmas - County Away @ 4.00s Mr CD - ta muchly

Merry Christmas to one and all - Santa has been so we are just heading out to the beach at St Kilda for the christmas day bbq....and to beat the aussies at some beach cricket.... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AT CALEYTHISTLEONLINE

If Black is gone and Cowie on his way the earlier Wilson decision does not really seem like a clever one - not unless we are signing Kaka and Beckham in the January window....

If true a good move for him - good luck (and thanks for all the fish)....

Congratulations young man.... :thumb04: :018: :015: ;)

Livi @ 2.15 - ta muchly

As a young lad he always scared the living daylights out of me....all bark and bite and all at though.... A Thistle and ICT stalwart - RIP big man - one thing is for sure you will have one hell of a send off....and a few good stories recalled....

Well done Scotty - they say these things come in 3s - so who will pick up a prize next week....?

In the 80s/90s Caley had a white top with blue shorts and Thistle had an all light blue strip (sometimes with black shorts I think) - before that I can't remember and the majority of photos are black and white so difficult to tell.... I am sure CB remembers more from his childhood days....

Morton Away @ 4.33 - ta muchly

Excellent - all the best with your adventure(s).... :015: :thumb04: :018: ;)

Totally agree - I have been away from the site for a few days and this little gem materialises - borders on the infamous photo insert thread of a few years back....ah the good old days....
