Scotty

This is all very encouraging to hear. We were quick to lambast him when he did have a poor attitude or exhibited extreme petulance so fair play to him for knuckling down and letting his skill do the talking instead of his gob .... long may it continue.

Denzil's on fire ... who said he was sheeite :015: 4-2 now what a day for a feckin radio blackout ... the BBC didnt even bother letting us listen to the half time reports (which they normally do) - just left the "...for contractual reasons, we cannot bring you this program ..." loop playing endlessly.

there is none - I have ranted about this at length but its a bloody joke. The solution ... ICT need to get their own media rights up and running EVERY other PTV site has it !!!!!

Nice one Denzil :015: :015: :015: No coverage outside UK today for ANY match !!! Motherwell V Rangers - [Rangers use their own media rights on website and block BBC] Aberdeen V Gretna - [Aberdeen use their own media rights on website and block BBC] Celtic V Dundee Utd - [Celtic use their own media rights on website and block BBC] ICT V Falkirk - [Falkirk use their own media rights on website and block BBC] Hibs V Kilmarnock [both clubs use their own media rights on website although only Killie block BBC] St Mirren V Hearts - [Hearts use their own media rights on website but only block BBC when playing at Tynecastle]

I was beginning to type a similar response but then stopped myself after thinking about it. The club used to do it but stopped when they were faced with a minute's silence almost every week !!! Sometimes it was legitimate, being for officials or employees, or former players of one of the clubs but at other times it was for public figures, politicians, or even for fans with at best a tenuous link to the club. Initially, I was all for saying that it should be done on a case-by-case basis but who should decide whether this fan or that fan was a good fan, deserving of such an honour, and which fan's families should be refused because we cant do it every week ? I think - as hard as it may seem - that a program entry and no minute's silence is appropriate

Wouldn't dream of moving it ! I believe Dr Smith was also assisted by Derick MacLeod in trying to save him. Sad indeed that he didnt make it. Condolences to his family.

could have been .... I bumped into this guy outside Toronto FC's stadium !!!!! Maybe not that surprising as he is a well know Sheff Wed fan !

Good idea, it's time we had a bit of a laugh. But I can exclusively reveal (even CaleyD doesn't know this yet and he's the driver :015:) The Innes bus for the Gretna game will be a 'WEAR IT PINK BUS' :rotflmao: Saturday 27th Oct is the annual Wear it Pink day for Breast Cancer. So can you make your fancy dress a pink one. :rotflmao: Aberdeen game is closer to Halloween but I don't know how many will be going to that one. Sorry CaleyD - do you have a pink bus drivers uniform or is that too personal a question. Think Don has it covered ... depending on how many book he has two busses in mind ..... I hear he likes this one for some reason .... [attach=1] but is more likely to end up with this one [attach=2] Matt Lucas also offered him a uniform, but the romper suit was unavailable ..... and for the ladies .....

Cant remember him in either a good way or bad way in any ICT matches ..... BUT from his profile .... Any pet hates in football? Lack of respect for referees and assistants/simulation. so loads of dissent bookings and we better not dive ! What Law of the Game would you change? None. Feck, gotta be bad when someone is happy with them all !!! The most difficult Law to apply? Law 11. Law 11 is offside so there are either going to be offside goals or play pulled back for bad decisions ! Checking Soccerbase, seems to back that initial impression up .... season 2007/08 [attach=1] season 2006/07 [attach=2] According to Soccerbase he has refereed ICT 4 times since 98/99 01. ICT 2-2 Stirling (Div 2 - 10/04/1999) - 2 yellows (both Stirling) 02. Morton 2-0 ICT (Div 1 - 25/11/2000) - 2 yellows (1 for Morton, Xausa for ICT) 03. ICT 3-1 Ayr Utd (Div 1 - 29/09/2001) - 1 yellow (Ayr) 04. ICT 1-1 Ayr Utd (Div 1 - 02/02/2002) - 5 yellows (4 for Ayr, Tokely for ICT) He has plenty games where he has issued anywhere between 3 and 7 yellow cards (especially in SPL) but there was one game (Celtic 1-0 Kilmarnock 27/10/01) where he issued 11 yellow cards !!!

Why would we do that ? The whole article is a factual account of the game and as fan reports often do, it contains details of the atmosphere, ambience and craic from where he was located in the ground.

good post. agree with much of what you say and the signs are indeed encouraging. I want him to succeed because if he does, then so does the club. my reservations were based on his record at DUFC and his "loyalty" comment and both of those he can make us forgive/forget with results. As for anything else .. Warnock/selection process etc, that is not down to him so we cant hold it against him or blame him......

Here is one for this weekend's game - might be a little late but here it is. ICT-Falkirk.pdf

I never saw the photos of his 'contrition' and am not really sure what you are asking about. I dont need to see him down on one knee apologising to all the fans, just to acknowledge that he made a mistake in leaving first time round - which I think he did on the day he was appointed. Like many fans, I was unhappy when he left the first time and similar to Steve Paterson what actually stuck in my craw was not the fact that either of them left for a bigger job or their 'dream job' - that is quite understandable - it was that in days/weeks before in both cases each of them made statements of loyalty to ICT and then buggered off. That is hard to forgive and despite his comments on the day he arrived, it will take time and results for him to earn back the trust and respect he had before in exactly the same way as it took a long time before I (and many other fans) forgave SP ! Are either of them bothered ? I very much doubt it - its just my viewpoint and one I know is held by a good few others.

I was delighted with the goal on Saturday and have never doubted the ability of Brewster the player. I was also happy with last night's result too, and the fact that heads now seem to be up again so he is certainly going in the right direction when compared to his DUFC stint. However it is way too early to fall at his feet and declare undying adulation but if he carries on like this and succeeds in improving my club then yes, I will happily eat my own slice or two of humble pie and say I was wrong. Its no big deal, I get things wrong all the time :004:

for those that havent seen it, excellent report from Gringo Jnr http://www.caleythistleonline.com/index.ph...30&Itemid=1

BBC & Sporting Life both say Denzil .... lets blame the commentator :004:

Rankin on for Wilson 3-0 Wyness :001:

Deano on for Bayne - 18 minutes to show what he can do perhaps .......

HALF-TIME STATS [attach=1]

"powered by sporting life" :023: :023: .... I like the way Sporting Life 'ad-libs' with things like "Inverness CT are in control of the match. Key player: Russell Duncan"

go to http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/latestscores/ and then the live match centre for ICT game so far we have had 5 shots on goal (4 off target), 4 corners and committed two fouls - a bright start judging by the text updates.
