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.

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

That's a monster of a PC! On a more serious note though, the clock speed of the AthlonXP 2400+ is 1.8GHz. To be sure, can you post the model of Time PC it is? Also what model of Acer screen are you selling?

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 when his contract offer was withdrawn.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 I think it was established at the time that the contract offer was withdrawn after Wyness' agent came back at the 11th hour and tried to change the deal.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.

There are pro's and con's to both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. I own one of the 20GB Xbox 360's from it's early days and have yet to experience a red ring of death. The range of games available also swing favourably for the Xbox. Xbox live subscription is not compulsary. You are still able to purchase Xbox Live Arcade games, download demo's, movies, songs etc without paying a penny. Xbox Live Gold membership costs around ?40 for a year and allows you to play games online with other gold members. The overall online experience offered by the Xbox is far superior to the PS3. Sony simply can't compete. Getting technical, although the PS3 has a superior processor, the overall performance and graphics award goes to the Xbox once again proving that a super duper processor isn't everything as Sony would have you believe. The only feature really that Xbox hasn't got a answer for is the PS3's native Blu-Ray support, the Xbox requires an expensive add-on to be able to play HD-DVD's (I'm not even sure if it's still available to buy) Getting back on topic, I'd recommend purchasing the Elite if you can afford it. The 120GB hard disk and HDMI outputs are huge advantages over the rest of the Xbox 360 range. If my ageing Xbox packs in, in the near future, it will be an Elite I replace it with.

That's up to you. I grudge paying over the odds for anything and football should be no different. It's not like I'm spending that same ?20 on watching any other team. I'm far happier keeping my ?20 to myself than spend it on watching dross, and end up being cold, wet, miserable and more often than not, downright angry.

I'm looking at the facts and fail to see how my facts can differ so much from yours. Brewster is a fitness coach - he does this well. Brewster is not a manager. It was not Brewsters decisions that won us games before, it was Parks. Since Park has left, Brewsters decsion making has been laid open for all to see. Thomson was a successful youth coach at Rangers. Since then he has been unsuccessfully masquerading as an assistant manager. If he was successful (like Park was) that success would be noticable on the field. If you believe the spin around Park leaving then that's up to you. 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 didn't word my post very well at all. It was actually the poor quality of entertainment on offer for your ?20 I was getting at. 10 months of paying SPL prices to watch 1st division quality football will only attract customers filled with hope for so long before that hope disappears all together.

The fact is, Brewster is not a manager. He is a fitness coach. When Park was in the dugout beside him, our team put on a performance that was at least watchable. It's no coincidence that since he has left, our form has been dysmal. Similarly, Thomson is not an assistant manager. Thomson is a youth coach. It's like playing a striker as a goalkeeper! So to answer your question directly, I honestly believe that anyone with reasonable experience as a manager would be better than our management team at the moment. So that begs the question, what attribute of Brewster do you associate with stability? Under Brew, we have had a very turbulent experience! He drove Rankin away, he then told Park to get lost, he offered Wyness a contract then withdrew the offer before Wyness had an opportunity to even pick up a pen! How many fall-outs has he had with Black now? Now after 100 or so games, how many times has he not taken responsibility for a loss? It's never his fault though is it? After Saturdays performance, we sit one point away from relegation but because we only ever lose by the odd goal that makes relegation OK does it? We need action from our Board of Directors and we need action NOW

I doubt it's the weather that's keeping folk away! If that was the case there would be definite declines in attendances over the winter months every year. Last winter for example, I can't remember a game with an attendance below 3,700! The main reason is that money is tight these days. Spend that ?20 and watch us play dysmally or save it for a better cause? No brainer in my opinion! Weather will play a secondary role in keeping folk away though. The prospect of going along to a game on a hot summers day where we are unlikely to win is surely more appealing than the thought of the same game in the middle of winter?

His ego has always been the problem, thwart him and you are out, as even some of the players have found out. Parky was pushed out because he had more knowledge, skill, compassion, and most importantly he had the respect of the players and Would NOT say YES to Brew, and Brew was not going to let this happen, Malky was brought back, because he makes Brew look good, or at least thats what Brew believes, take last weeks game, Malky spent more time facing the crowd sprouting P*** trying to convince us he knows what he is talking about, NOT Brews down fall will be he surrounds himself with a*** holes who have no experience or knowledge of the game, if he had the likes of Parky he could have bounced decisions off him, if he could get rid of the Look at Me I am the Manager syndrome, and share and listen to others including the players and their opinions he could go further, unfortunatly he has neither the mentality or insight to be able to see or understand this. A good manager has to be able to listen, and learn from others, every day, you need to be able to earn respect and this comes from respecting others, a skill that has to be learned. Take a bow!

Course the board won't do anything. After all the member of the board who hunted Brewster down and allegedly* offered him a job before the job wasn't even available, wouldn't want to be made to look any more of a fool now, would he? *I thought I'd include the word allegedly in case the member of the board in question (you know who you are) reads this and throws a hissy fit.

What a boring post. And that's irony for you

Wyness Legend is a happy clapper and from the general drift of your post, so are you. How should myself and IHE get real, when the reality is we have won 5 times at home in the last 10 months?! I could be wrong here, but I think the those 5 times have been against Gretna and Kilmarnock. A sorry state of affairs when we have not beaten any other team at home in that length of time I think you can agree. The least Brewster could have done, was to accept the blame for the loss but he didn't, never has done and probably never will. He is the embodiment of arrogant. To coin a phrase you appear to know well, I put it to you that you should get off your high horse

But Brewster can do no wrong apparently...
