better stickie this one .... a positive thread on CTO, some people will be shocked. :015: IHE - agree wholeheartedly, especially about Don Cowie who has settled in far quicker than his former RC colleague did last year.

and here is IHE's S***-Poo (Shih Tzu / Poodle cross)

posted on another thread. we are working on it. only affects mods. will try to get it fixed !

The CaleyThistleOnline league we have had running for the last year or so has just finished a season. we will be opening up spots for the next season soon. see this page for details http://www.caleythistleonline.com/index.ph...3&Itemid=66

cute dog .... looks a little peeved though ... probably the empty (and scrupulously clean) food bowl my own little pooch ..... a Black Lab / Newfoundland cross [attach=1]

As was posted in the other thread (in the days following that game)......... There's a couple of posts in the thread that suggest fans should be able to do whatever the **** they like in the singing section and that simply isnt true. There is an acceptable level of behaviour and once that is crossed there is a price to pay. With the publication of that article, the price has now been confirmed !!! According to the rules, standing is not allowed. end of story. If the club choose to let that slide on occasion then so be it, but if a steward comes along and asks or even tells you to sit down and you do not, then you are inviting trouble. If you add taunting and verbal abuse to the mix then there is only ever going to be one outcome and the outcome is not always the fault of the steward.

no. the stewards didnt muck it up, there was significant fan involvement in this as discussed (and admitted) in a previous thread.

yup, think that about covers it.

looks like a good bit of info on here .... http://www.stadiumguide.com/sansiro.htm http://www.sansirotour.com/english/index.html http://www.acmilan.com/InfoPage.aspx?id=440 loads of other links available if you just put "san siro stadium tour" into google !

I dont think there is a lot of negativity surrounding Brewster ... there are most definitely some widely varying opinions but you only need to look at this thread to find people who didnt necessarily think he was right for the job (including me), disagreeing with the first poster and saying that you cant judge him on two games. I have also made the point that he won a higher percentage of games in his first spell with the club than Charlie did. I agree with TomCaleyJag that losing Charlie was a blow. I know Charlie, I like Charlie and anyone who has been an ICT supporter for any length of time knows how deeply he cares for the club so of course it was a blow. However, get rid of all the confusional mist, quotes and misquotes surrounding the resignation and the appointment of a successor and the bottom line is that Brewster is back as boss and deserves a chance to prove the doubters wrong. I will be nothing short of delighted if he does. Courtesy of the media rights mayhem that surrounds the SPL, I havent been able to actually hear any of his comments, but I am not going to panic after two defeats, away from home to Hibs and Celtic. The performance against Hibs was good, and lets face it, this season, both Celtic and Rangers appear to be cranking it up a notch so getting a doing from them, while painful is not indicative of anything. I will bow to the superior knowledge of the people who are actually seeing the game with their own eyes every week, but listening to it from afar and seeing part of the Celtic game on a satellite feed last weekend, I see signs of improvement from the players in the last few games. I have no idea if this is them getting out of a start of season funk or whether its because of what Brewster is doing or saying behind the scenes (like kicking *** perhaps), but its a definite improvement. The team that lost to Dundee Utd had their heads so far down that they were ploughing a furrow on the park, the team that got a doing this past weekend kept trying right up to the final whistle ....

think that was the Daily Record poster a few days later. If I am not mistaken a copy is framed and hanging in the stadium entrance. got it somewhere at home (along with various signed tops and a copy of the Sun with that headline) waiting for the chance to frame it all

If you are showing SPL and making that known to people by, oh lets say, mentioning it on a public forum that is frequented not just by supporters but also others who are trawling for stories or trying to make sure that we, or our users arent doing anything dodgy then I hope you have a good lawyer .... just ask a fair number of Glasgow pubs who got their sensitive parts grabbed and twisted.

He's 23, and will be 24 next month .... not exactly "that age". To me "that age" is anyone under 20, once you hit there, age stops being an excuse.

thats a new one on me - can someone please post a screenshot ?

It wasn't all that long ago that Scotland had 6 or 7 Euro spots .... a team in the (true) Champions Cup, a team in the cup winners cup, and 4 or 5 teams in the UEFA Cup and I see no reason for that not to happen again but it will only happen if teams get beyond the first round and don't lose to second division Swedish sides or get hammered by mediocre Irish sides. If that means we have to look at the qualification mechanism then so be it. If we want to make the "diddy" cups worthwhile again, or leave some form of dream in place for teams outside the SPL then lets do something internally where a European spot is up for grabs. A playoff between finalists in the cups who don't automatically qualify and the last placed potential European qualifier(s) in the SPL or something like that..... but to let the luck of the draw decide who will represent the country in European competition and potentially affect how many places we get in a future year is wrong in my mind.

Perhaps it would be fairer to look at the record they each had under the ICT board of directors and not the notorious 'Grocer' Prior to returning, Brewster won 34% of his games in the SPL compared to 33% for Charlie and 28.5% for Robbo. If we turn that on its head and look at how many games each manager lost in the SPL, Brewster still comes out on top with a 30% losing record compared to 39% for CC and a whopping 57% for Robbo. As I said above, if you choose your dataset wisely, you can get them to say whatever you like

I actually agree with him !!! The best sides from any country should compete in Europe and not sides who may have had the luck of the draw in getting to the SC Final ! Look at Gretna in 2005 - Preston Athletic, Cove Rangers, St Johnstone, Clyde, St Mirren, Dundee .... and then Hearts in the final ! not a single SPL side on the way there, not any ties where it might be thought to be "un-winnable". At least Dunfermline last year had to play well in putting out Rangers, Hearts & Hibs The simple fact is that the better the sides do, the higher our co-efficient gets and the more teams may qualify in future and that will benefit more teams than just the OF.

think we did this subject to death a few weeks ago and it nearly ripped the site apart. Brewster has had 2 league games in charge and although defeated twice, away from home, the signs of improvement are there. As much as I was very pro-Christie and said many times that he shouldn't be judged too harshly and too early, I have to say the same applies to Brewster. 2 games, 2 defeats, but 2 decent performances. way too early to pass judgment. As for the 30 game stats ... as someone who uses statistics a fair bit, I know that if you grab the right dataset, you can prove just about anything you want ! At the end of the day, whether he is a returning hero, a donkey, a judas or whatever your point of view is, the one fact is that he is ICT manager and we all need to get behind him and the players.

one of the things we had to change when we were having loads of "brain farts". Main site is now "login-free" but forum still needs it and you login using the login tab

NO. I cant look up stats right now, but I remember a thoroughly horrible game at the Shyberry stadium V Airdrie where we were easily beaten 6-0

3-0 Nakamura . no deflection on that one ! sheeit 4-0 Vinegar scores as I type :008: :008: :008: :008: :008:

I cant see any settings preventing you from adding links/signature/urls etc but you may want to stick a couple of test posts in here to see if what now appears to be working is indeed working !

I will check what settings I added to the "senior moderator" designation as no-one else seems to have any issues. I may have inadvertently ticked or not ticked the relevant box :004:

If anyone should be getting charged with screwing up it should be Stuart Dougal = watch the Turkey V Hungary highlights ..... stonewall penatly and red card for keeper, instead SD books the guy for diving and has to send him off as its his second yellow. http://video.uefa.com/video/index.html Scotland game is good too :003:
