how do they work out best runners up if were in a group of five with less points possible than group of 6 ??

booing rory or fraser or any of our own players is a disgrace. absolute morons the same guys who hero worship macdonald whose hardly kicked a ball for us :sillywave: nobody's laughing you little twats

think bernard matthews as got the job.................. he used to working with turkeys

cant understand how anyone can be happy with that today. we were pish. st mirren were all over us for almost 90 mins. weve gone back to playing how we did in brewsters first spell, where we were good away from home and garbage at home. the difference being we now dont have a defence and got lucky today. think the players were confusing st mirren with juventus cos everytime they got the ball, which was a lot, we'd chuck everyone behind the ball and sit in. it was embarrassing against a poor team like them to do that at home. anyway we got the 3 and if we could do that every week playing like that i'd take it, but we wont cos we were lucky. on the plus i thought defence was improved and proctor looked ok but we were playing mirren.was good to see rankin again although its probably just to put him in the shop window :008:

that was a feckin embarassment in the north stand today. fraser had some poor kicks in a game where he played pretty well and kept a clean sheet. those who booed him etc are a joke. feck off somewhere else. same goes for booing rory regardless of how frustrating he's been. dont give a monkeys about frasers v sign. id have done the same. feck off

unfortunately johnboy im old enough to remember his playing days well and great player he was. just not for me as boss but hey ho

Forget his spell at Aberdeen as an inexperienced manager - a job that also made the man that most ICT fans think was our best ever manager - look bad .... and instead look around at some of the message boards for other clubs he was at since then ... like Villa, where the fans are very positive about his influence and impact. one quote (from a profile of him on the VillaTalk website) .... "David O'Leary sees Aitken as a key reason for Villa's rise up the table with minimum resources! It is certainly clear that the Scot is very much now tied up in Villa and every ounce of passion goes into his match day work and work behind the scenes. He is very much a catalyst on the European march. When O?Leary took on the job as Villa manager he insisted that Aiken would join him ? despite talk that it would be Brian Kidd joining the Irishman at Villa Park and not the fiery Scotsman. His worth to a management team is clear to see ? and Leeds fans? blamed a lot of O?Leary?s last season at Elland Road, where the team failed to produce the football it could on Aiken?s ?demotion? after Brian Kidd was employed." I remember going to Scotland games in the era both before he was captain of the national side and somewhat of a backup player, and also when he was captain of both his club and his country. The "Bear" was one of those players who was never the most skillful of players but his leadership qualities have never been in doubt and he captained the nation in 26 of his 57 international games. I think he would do better as national manager than he would as a team manager primarily because he has a record of getting the best out of players whereas some managers at club level (Souness?) rely on buying their way out of trouble. Incidentally, to bring it back to a (very loose) ICT connection .... his solitary international goal came from a header in the match that marked Kenny Dalglish's 100th cap ... a 3-0 victory over Romania in 1986, and his final game was against the same country in 1991 (which we lost 1-0). I dont think Marius Niculae played in either though ;) Having said that - I am more than happy with McLeish as manager and Watson and Aitken as his assistants yeah his influence and impact at villa may have been good, as it probably is with scotland, but he wasn't villa boss and they didn't think highly enough of him to offer him the job. he's a decent backroom team member who i'd be im happy scotland has in that capacity and that capacity only. would be staggered if scotland even thought of him as manager should mcleish depart. but with any luck we wont find out

it would definately ease the pain somewhat for not going to the euros. also a big money spinner. will be amazed if it doesnt happen now

maclaren just said on sky he wont resign. :015: if he's still in a job next week i'll be shocked

after englands demise to those legends in tablecloths we could well now see the return of the home internationals for next summer. :021: bring it on. :011:

i'll personally miss maclaren and everything he does for england

:015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :011: :011: :011: :011: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :blah01: :sillywave: :sillywave: :sillywave: :sillywave: :sillywave: :sillywave: :sillywave: i love you croatia

are you's insane. :029: roy aitken . no thanks and no chance either. there's asolutely no way he'd get the job.

if theres any justice, croatia will give them a doin tonight and i'll be rooting for the croats. of course it wont happen, and so i'll be tuning in to bbc 1 northern ireland to cheer them on and will keep as far away from linekar,motson , wright and co as possible.

aye credit to them. the boy healy has been unbelievable for them. would be glad to see them make it, but think they'll probably feel a bit like i do now come wednesday night :029:

aye if there is any justice. bigger stage? what smaller is an easier list to compile. i'll back them, just not feeling too enthusiastic about anything spl yet after sat. that could change by wednesday night but i doubt it.

aye butterflies have arrived already. god knows what i'll be like by the time i get to hampden. agenda bar first stop tomoro then roll on the madness :021:

nah i think we need all the help we can get. if only i knew what hotel they were in. :024: ding a ling a ling at 4 am :tic01:

yeah i'd be up for it. indoor could book the inverness sports centre for fives ? or the astroturf pitch beside it although not sure how available they are, would be worth a go. think charleston academy or culloden would be another option

brewster wants a centre back if youve got one

i suppose it depends on what you expected of him.he's never been or probably ever will be a 20 odd goal a season player. if he gets 10 or twelve he's doing well. his own target when he signed was about 10 if i remember correct. personally i like what he brings to the side and feel he's been desperately unlucky not to bag some league goals so far. i'm sure they'll come sooner rather than later but everyones entitled to their own view. if your the sort of person who appreciates what he brings to the team over the course of the season in both goals and assists then come end of season you'll probably be happy. if your expecting someone near the top of the scoring charts you may not

Who the feck are they ? Marius is the best player I have ever witnessed warming the bench - he is so worth the wage . :rotflmao: :rotflmao: aye , i wonder. :003: and yes agree

aye rossco was a tube and deserves what he gets but when you watch it just think of mcgarry's goal at the tcs for county a few seasons back and you'll feel better about it. it works for me anyway :023:

if you take a look at this thread theres two posters regurgitating the same marius moans and groans, and about two more who sometimes agree. everyone else is backing him. this thread's gonna run all season at least :017:, just start a poll and im sure we'll see the vast majority rate him as one of our best players

did anyone here actually go to the game :sillywave: how is what s p said spot on ????? :017: as i've already said the commentator was not talking about nicolae but one of our midfielders . :029: :029:
