I've got a fridge full of beer. :biggrin01:

That's nice for you. I thought it was interesting to look at how our different managers have fared over the years, the fact that the data I sourced was incomplete and/or erroneous is obviously misleading but I enjoyed it very much. In fact I think I'll do some in depth research now that you suggested it, thanks CaleyD. :biggrin01:

Figure it out yourself.

Apologies if the stats aren't accurate or even in the ball park, I assumed that Soccerbase would have been pretty close but didn't even register Charlies games in charge as I wasn't trying to make any particular point.

My apologies in that case Andy.

I hope the ban DOES get copyed onto Ross County Why? They get the pick of our squad for free. :wacko:

I wasn't trying to imply it was a level playing field, but now that you've raised it I do think it is a fair comparison of their leadership qualities as the quality of player and wages budget would be comparable to those teams in the same leagues and in certain cases (Oz) more than the competing teams.

I don't boo the team or individuals but will defend the rights of others to do so if that's how they feel. I had one bloke sat beside me giving Lionel pelters from kick off, before he'd even had a kick of the ball and I buttoned my lip. By the end of the match I was feeling tempted to join in but restrained myself and rustled my Werthers Originals wrappers instead. I do however come on here to go Feckin BOO!!!

I realise these stats are incomplete. Robbo's stint at Derry isn't there for one thing but consider this, he lifted them to mid table away from the relegation zone and had some cup success too. I'm sure there'll be others missing too but I found it interesting. Terry Butcher Craig Brewster Charlie Christie John Robertson Steve Paterson Sergei Baltacha Not really surprising that Pele's time with us was the most successful of them all, a true ICT legend.

I really don't think you want to go down that road with a post structured like that. "and space comma", "double hyphons", "double spaces", "poor grammar", use of the word "and" twice in one sentence. You do understand, don't you? No, you don't understand do you? A six pointer refers to a game where the teams are three points apart and depending on the outcome the teams can remain three points apart, become six points apart or draw level. On this occasion it was and is inappropriate. I find it extraordinary that someone on the other side of the Atlantic feels the need to comment on the use of the English language. Have a nice day.

You'll be there cheering the boys on then will you?

At the start of the season? Shurely shum mishtake, Mish Moneypenny. :D

Is it not customary to charge for advertising? Or can we all start touting?

Can we afford Butcher and Malpas in the First Division? Surely theres a get out clause. Butcher out now, Bring back Robbo! Soon enough for you? :D Edit to add:- Having now given it some more careful consideration, your suggestion of Charlie Christie getting a second chance appeals to me. Not only would it give him some time to form his own team but the experience he would gain from that would be excellent not only for him but us also as he would be a long term appointment. We are now a first division team, get used to it. It's going to be a long season and a couple more may see us back in the SPL but I'm not going to hold my breath.

More intelligent than some at least. Firstly, Robert congratulations on a well constructed considered first post. I do have one point to ask about it though, what exactly does the fair amount of experience that our present manager has look like? When you see it in black and white? Have you considered this? His experiences mostly include bottom of the table or thereabouts. He had 3 seasons in the SPL where he got Motherwell into 6th or 8th place and one where they finished 12th. Latterly he has become a career loser. I refuse to believe that our fate was determined by our players alone last season, Brewster fecked up, yes but Butcher also fecked up with dubious selections. Take a look at the squad now and the squad we had last year, who has gone and who came in. Then ask yourself if you believe we are better placed now to challenge for promotion as was publically touted by the club (bounce) or for rebuilding a squad for life in the First Division (I believe this is where Butcher thinks we belong). My apologies for such a negative post, I said before Brewster was sacked that I believed we'd be relegated. When relegated I said that we'd struggle in the First Division where other posters were talking about bouncing back up. I'm just not feeling very positive about the way things are at the moment and ultimately it comes down to a small group of people. The muppets.

The players aren't as good? Why? We let them go and replaced them with what? I'm with mountainnut, Butcher's not looking too clever!

Terry and Mo know what they're doing.

I can see a flaw in that, Alex.

So would you say fans aren't entitled to bitch about the crap on show but supporters are? If so, feckin boo! TM4TJ playing hot and cold implies inconsistency, you can't be consistent one week then inconsistent the next, that's not how it works. They can't all be good one week then gash the next. What was said to them before the game and at half-time? Where was the motivation? It may only be one defeat but the nature of it was apalling. I work damned hard for my money and will not pay to watch that shi7e.

Its Daniel Park :025: I can remember him always being on the bench in the SPL, iv also got his signature aswell. I'm sure Daniel will be grateful to you for making his alleged opinion public.

It lasted a lot longer in South Africa, they called it Apartheid. Is it hurting anyone? No Is it doing the participants good? Probably

Maybe Duncan Shearer's available?

Nonsense, the idea is that on a saturday we pay money to be entertained and hopefully see our team win. What happened last week? Feckin boo!

We certainly did last weekend.

Welcome back to an ICT legend. Get your boots relaced and run at the opposition like you did last time we were in the First.
