IIRC, you can only appeal violent behaviour cards and Bayne's was a red for "second bookable offence" and Tokely's was displayed on the online sites as "Professional Foul" for the tackle from behind so on that basis the answer would be no .... After listening to Brewster, sounds like given the choice, he would appeal Bayne's but not Tokely's

The interview with CB (now available on the match report on front page of site) is interesting to listen to to say the least ..... He can barely keep his anger (especially about the ref) under control, seems to be struggling to find the right words and absolutely blasts Tokely and has a go at Barry for their roles in today's debacle.

Chris Boyle, see FRONT PAGE LINK !!! wonder if he is any relation to John Boyle

I complain most weeks that I cant listen to games .... today I wish I couldnt. We sound like s***, no ideas, no clues, no heart, no passion (other than arguing with every decision). wonder if Brew will make a substitution or two to try and get back into this

more likely a casualty of the U21 rule ! McDonald, Vigurs, Kerr there because of the U21 rule Wilson, Niculae and Rankin the 'real subs' Malkowski there because we have to name a keeper A lot of talk about Rankin recently so he probably took Proctor's place ......

A lot of people would probably do it for free, myself included if I were around. However, I think you may have missed my point .... The point is that the club routinely seem to think they can snap their fingers and no matter how much disdain they treat people with they will still come running .... That is partly true but the number of people who are like that dwindles each time the club pull this stunt and they need to start rebuilding their relationship with fans who would be more than willing to walk over broken glass for them if they actually looked like they gave a f*** !!!

not sure why the :symbol_exclaim01: was used ... think most of us would agree that Dods is worthy even though he did leave us .... just look at our defence now !

nahh, just someone else with the same name ...... The Graham brothers were well known Rugby players in my school days ..... and incidentally, I believe there was also a connection to ICT through another relative .......

That says it all.

just for clarification - the squad list on the official site is provided by a third party !!! Wood definitely a striker.

couldnt look at that earlier today as youtube is blocked at work but have seen it now ... that is horrendous, pre-meditated and the player deserves a lengthy ban. How Brown didnt get hurt is beyond me.

There are plenty things we ***** and moan about where we feel the club dont get things right and sometimes the moans are legitimate but if you measure the progress of the club from 1994 to the present then this award is probably well deserved ... in the SPL, living withing our means, reporting profits a few times where others have not and continuing to develop non-matchday business .... :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: now if we can only get the car park, stewarding, serveries and singing section sorted we will be laughing :004:

Any team can raise itself for one good game here and there ... we have done it too !!! However, I agree with those that say Gretna's fate will be decided by how they perform against fellow bottom 5/6 teams ..... Forget the OF, Aberdeen, DUFC and Hearts and Hibs and even Kilmarnock for a minute as these will probably be favourites for the top 6/7 in the end ..... I cannot see them going on a sustained run where they beat ICT, Falkirk, St Mirren, and Motherwell which are the teams they are really fighting it out with .... In our first 11 games we have beaten Falkirk, Gretna and Hearts (bonus), drawn with Killie, and lost to the rest. Gretna on the other hand have drawn with Hearts (bonus) and beaten DUFC (bonus) and lost the rest. They have looked decidedly shabby against fellow basement battlers and luckily for us after the start we made are the team most likely to be relegated.

Wasnt the only place I heard it ! but would agree that most rumours on there are taken with a block of salt :004: This one however does make a little bit of sense .....

A large proportion of the users who come on here are from out of town, and in my opinion, a lot of those who are in town are becoming more and more alienated by the club because of things like ticket costs, stewarding issues, PR blunder after PR blunder, lack of responses to legitimate queries, and a generally perceived lack of approachability. The only time the club seem to reach out to fans these days is when they want something !! God forbid that a fan wants something or has a question !!! A better response might be received if fans knew what was in it for them..... Are they doing it out of the goodness of their hearts? Is this newly trained special force to be paid either in money or with free or reduced price tickets? And why is the supporters trust putting this together when the statement says "Inverness Caledonain Thistle is keen to put together a Ground Crew"?

It's stamped - Please do not resuscitate - Its definitely not "Nil By Mouth" :015: :015:

Rumour has it that the managerial merry go round is about to hit Gretna ........ The suggestion is that Steven Kenny will be sacked by Dunfermline soon and that Davie Irons will take his place. Irons played for Dunfermline from 88-91 and made 109 appearances for the Pars. With the Gretna job vacant, the next rumour is that Robbo will take over there and that Kenny will go back to Derry City ..........

Its very hard to compare them ...... Robbo did an excellent job getting us to the first division title and Bell's Cup win but results tanked when we were promoted to the SPL. He has a decent record overall, but the worst SPL record of any of our managers (Robbo, Brew, CC, Brew). Was it because we had a better side than the Div 1 teams but not as good as the SPL ones ? Was it because we were playing at Pittodrie ? Were we overawed in our first few weeks in the SPL ? Or was it because he had the players but not the tactics ? As he hasnt exactly set the heather on fire in his multiple jobs after leaving us, maybe he wasnt as good as we thought and it was actually the players that made him look good ? He is rumoured to be in the frame for the Gretna job once Dunfermline sack Kenny and appoint Irons with Kenny going back to Derry so once again we might see if he has the tactics to survive in the SPL if that happens. With Brew our players were fitter than ever before and we definitely punched above our weight as they say. Again, you have to give the players credit for this and wonder (as we have done) about the manager tactics and substitutions. The bonus we had first time round with Brew was Brew the Player as we got a quality striker who has scored goals wherever he has gone as well as a manager. On balance, I would give Brewster the edge over Robbo. He may not be as personable as Robbo but his SPL stats (at ICT) are far better. As I type this though, it has given me a rekindled realisation that a lot of our success is despite our managers rather than because of them and a huge amount of credit must go to our players. Our players did well in Division 1 but not so good in the SPL when promoted - maybe because they were adjusting to the new league. Once the players adapted to the SPL they performed well under whichever manager we had and when first Robbo and then Brew left for "greener pastures" they found themselves at clubs where their new players just didnt perform for them in the way that ICT ones did. Look at Robbo's multiple jobs since leaving ICT, or Brewster's record at DUFC and how he has already done better at ICT in a handful of games than he did in 30+ at the Arabs ... dont these events just speak for themselves ?

Congratulations to ICT fans (and friends) Papalazaroo and Bart (the Brat) who welcomed Abbie Louise into the world yesterday. Mother and Baby doing well, father probably getting pished somewhere. :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

Think it was Ante Jazic (LA Galaxy) ..... Hastings also named to the Team of the Tournament ... http://www.canadasoccer.com/eng/media/view...p?Press_ID=2751

:022:

to be fair .... Rankin seemed to have been frozen out before Brewster arrived ... not sure what the story is there but after early season obscurity last season he finished it as one of our best once he found his SPL feet .......

and I was one of the bigger ones ! My opinion changed last season as he had a good season for ICT .... Was that the Dods effect too ? if so we have Dods not only making RH look good but also Granty as well .... that makes Dods some machine ! RH was also a "shock" to Canadian supporters. When he was recalled to the squad for the Gold Cup the Canadian "soccer" message boards were filled with negative comments about him .... but by the end of the tournament - where incidentally he played every game in central defence - they were raving about him, not only because he was solid, but also because he showed real leadership in the final game against USA where the Canucks were behind to a very dodgy late goal and he was doing the "Roy Aitken" impersonation and shouting at everyone, urging them forward to the final whistle in an effort to get an equaliser ..... the equaliser didnt come but he won a lot of people round with his performance in that tournament. Maybe he could go into central defence and Roy could come back in on the left if he really looked the part ?

Fair play to the club. Like many, I swayed first one way then the other and then back again and repeated this several times. At the end of the day, his employers have (finally) made a decision, he has been subject to workplace disciplinary measures, and the matter is now over. I hope he has learned a huge lesson and I hope that ICT fans will now get behind him, give him a second chance because if he ever does get on the park again in an ICT strip he's gonna get dogs abuse from our opponents' supporters ........
