Just to really show us who is the master tactitian, I fully expect Brew to give us a master class with something along the lines of: -----------------Fraser------------------ Tokely----Proctor---Munro---Hastings Imrie-----McBain----Duncan----Cowie -----------Rooney---McAllister--------- He'll show faith in Fraser by demonstrating no matter what he does, his position is guaranteed. He'll persist with his blue-eyed boy in the centre of defence and he wont worry about any gaping holes or anything as trivial as that at full back. Naturally, Cowie and Imrie should play on their weaker sides. This will allow them to cut in more and whisper it: (Hibs wont know what hit them!) No room for Black I'm afraid, with so much quality to choose from there was always going to be someone who was disappointed. Rooney will be the perfect foil for a natural finisher like Rory. It really will be fish in a barrell time. Hibs will destroy us 4-0 and after the game Brewster will say how gutting it is to be on the losing side yet again. "We were definitely unlucky, not getting the rub of the green at all. Our boys need to show more conviction in front of goal, and generally be more focused. After all I'm only the manager, what more could I have done to prepare the lads? Credit to Hibs, they took their chances well. In no way, shape or form do I accept any sort of blame for that woeful performance today."

Stevie Frail was a puppet, a yes man at Hearts. A yes man is exactly what we don't need at the club. There are enough puppets at the club already and that's just at the big table. Ian McColl would single handedly destroy our youth setup. That being said though, I will stick by my guns. Anyone and I genuinely mean anyone would be better than Brewster and Thomson. I'd like to see Gordon Chisholm up here but doubt it'd ever happen. I suppose there's only one man who'll ever make a decision as to whether 1) the current manager will be sacked and 2) who will replace him. And I fully expect the next manager to tick the "jobs for the boys" requirement box.

Do you get off on talking about the rub of the green? It's got f*ck all to do with luck and plenty to do with Brewster being a f*cking disgrace to this club.

So if we aren't a bad team (I sort of agree with you on that one) and we don't have a bad manager where does the fault lay then DBS? If that's your summing up of how we play football then all I can say is thank Christ it's not you in the dugout!

Leave the club currently employing him?... In all seriousness, I can't see any reason for folk to pay good money for what's on offer at the moment. Of course we have fans based in Edinburgh, but I'll stick my neck out and suggest our lowest away attendance in the SPL at Easter Rd. If you were travelling by car ?30 quids worth of fuel plus a ?20 ticket + food and beverages. This of course is assuming you're going by yourself... A family of four for example will probably shell out somewhere in the region of about ?100 next weekend. And for what? To see a decidedly average Hibs side molest our defence? Colin Nish is probably going to play so you can stick at least a 1 goal deficit on there before we've even kicked a ball.

Once again mr Brewster(Or ralph for the sake of the board) you come on defending yourself,you really dont like criticism do you,an arrogant big heed who cant see that it is you to blame,you dont have a clue about tactics,players or man management you really are about as bright as a 1 watt bulb,there's the door shut it on your way out I'm not convinced that "Ralph" is Brewster. I am convinced he is something to do with the club (higher up perhaps?) If I am correct, "Ralph" should sit up and realise that it is not only Brewsters head that folk are calling for. The BoD may have pulled the wool over many's eyes but there are those who realise that changes need to occur at BoD level in order for ICT to progress. Enough with the "jobs for the boys", Brewsters leaving will only be the beginning of the end for a few at the club...

Is it not brutally obvious why Proctor was played yesterday? Brewster leaves ICT for Dundee United Brewster signs Proctor Brewster parts with Dundee United Brewster signs for ICT Brewster signs Proctor You do the math...

On a similar note, Brewster gets verbal diarrhea whenever a microphone is put in front of him after a game.

Can we afford not to? There's certain people involved with ICT who are quick to get the wallet out and splash the cash when they want to prove they are the big "I am" - The same ones who were responsible for Brewsters return. Let's see now if they are so quick to get the wallet out when it comes to clearing up the mess they have created!!! It will certainly be interesting to see if this transpires. I very much doubt he'll take responsibility though...

Its a mix of optimism, realsim, common sense and loyalty. I take it in small doses after each game, but recently i've been taking them on a daily basis and especially after seeing this and various other anti-brewster topics springing up. I don't see optimism or realism in any of your posts tonight... I see grasping at straws and disillusionment. Brewsters days are numbered... And that's not something I'd keep to myself if I were to catch him in public...

I'll have some of what ever you're on. Though perhaps not the same dose... It's high time more people voted with their feet until Brewster and Thomson vacate the premises.

i'm not defending him to the bitter end jay and if you stood next to me at many games you'd hear me give him pelters from time to time with many others.just facing facts that i'd be amazed if the board ousted him at this stage, its not going to happen and he's definately being let down by a combination of luck and the players but things can change pretty quick in football He's definitely being let down by luck and the players? Sorry but that's utter pap. He's being let down by himself and the "assistant" he sacked Park to get in place!! Craig Brewster is the worst thing that has ever happened to this club and the sooner he gets forcebly thrown out of the door, the better. Quite how anyone can defend him at all is astounding!

The only ones kidding themselves are the ones defending the management. Wyness Legend, Ralph Milne, Dead Ball Specialist and Caleyonup are Ostriches personified.

Anyone but Brewster and Thomson.

----------------Esson-------------- Proctor----Duff-----Munro McBain Zander---Black--Vigurs-----Imrie ---------------Cowie--------------- --------------Rooney--------------

Assuming the teams directly around us all lose on both weeks?...

Those who are calling for more time for Brewster appear to forget that originally we should all give him until Christmas. Now he has two months to learn from the mistakes he's been making since last August! If he can't learn from his mistakes in 15 months, what chance does he have in two?! Either sack him or demote him to Fitness Coach and fire Thomson. It has to happen before any more damage is done!

The real reason the BoD won't fire him is because the man pulling the strings of the puppets that sit at the big table is the man that took Brewster back. The fact is, I think most fans don't actually care who replaces him. As long as he takes Thomson with him, it could be the bloody mascot that selects the next team and we'd probably see an improvement.

I will deem the season that see's Brewster receive his P45 a successful one.

Win/Win situation! ICT win, we're through to the next round. Falkirk win, you get a stack of cash!

There's a restaurant in Edinburgh where you only pay what you think the meal is worth. So here's my idea: PAY ON EXIT. Pay what you think the match and team's effort was worth. Result: a full ground every week and a motivated bunch of players. (The only problem I can see would be when Aberdeen visited) Great idea but I can't really see the pencil pushers going for it unfortunately.

Is this a cruel prank? What's your source?

Wyness was not the worst player on the park against Falkirk(?) when his contract offer was withdrawn. Brewster made a scapegoat of Wyness over a very poor team display indeed. Part of the reason Wyness hadn't scored in four months at the time was due to injury. I think it was established at the time that the contract offer was withdrawn after Wyness' agent came back at the 11th hour and tried to change the deal. This was the one (only?) statement made at the time of the incident that was not denied by one side or the other. True but it didn't stop Brewster citing Wyness' lack of form at the time. I think it was Bennet that cited the agent being at fault. Is Brewster anything to do with contract negotiations? If not, why make a statement to the press about something he knows nothing about? (That said he does make regular reference to "tactics" after games so there'd be nothing new there ) I know it happened a while ago but something still doesn't smell right about the whole thing. Wyness was a settled man, who at a few months notice, upped and left to move to Paisley. Just doesn't add up for me.

Completely agree CaleyD.
