Can't agree with you more, Rossco's had horrible luck since that Falkirk game.. hopefully the big man can find form again but at the moment he's made us look very weak. He was terrible against Partick... worst player on the park IMO... I think Bully would do a great job for us at RB but it's finding someone that can do a job in the centre A chance for Shinnie to shine? :( I think Shinnie is a left sided full back... Scott-Woodhouse might be worth a shot though Scoot-Woodhouse left in the summer, I seem to recall he was away to Uni to become a PE tecaher Yeh i thought Struan had left in the summer, anyway hes a LB not a RB same with Shinnie unless he is very adaptable Didn't realise he'd left He played as right back against Rangers in the Youth cup semi final... thought he was the best player we had on the park

How to get ICT back to the SPL in 5 quick steps: 1) Sell Imrie to Hamilton during the christmas period for 70k 2) Use that money to fund contracts for Hayes, Cox, Foran & Bully 3) Should be some left over to buy an experienced tall centre half (Bullen?) and a young Don Cowie on loan if we have to. 4) Keep to the current formation (Rooney looks as though he's made to play upfront on his own) 5) Work on fitness & not conceding any goals for the rest of the season :( Guarenteed success, if not, a full money back guarentee :( :(

Definitely should be kept, I think he'd make an excellent full back. He offers a pyhsical presence to our back line... works his erse off every game (although there are a lot of kinks to straighten out).. & he's young so could make us a decent profit. Bully gets my vote

Ok then, what would you have done at 2-1? Clacher????

Best idea I've seen from anyone re improving the atmosphere

I hope we can arrange for a contract extension for Hayes, he is a belter of a player... best decent winger since Bazza

I thought on Sunday we had the core of the ICT support, without the usual 'attend-TCS-because-I've-nothing-better-to-do-on-a-Saturday-supporters'. I can understand the club is a business and needs these 'supporters' to provide extra income but IMO if they focused the club around our core element then we would have a much better atmosphere at TCS and probably a better home record

Ok then, what would you have done at 2-1? I think the point I was raising (or trying to) from this thread is, as disappointing as the result was I don't think Butcher did much wrong! Although we don't know what went on in the team talk, the team was set up perfectly - justified by the first half performance. When we went 1 down it made sense to bring Sanchez off and put Cox on to offer more stability to the midfield. Odhiambo could have come on earlier but who do you replace him with? Hayes - probably our best player on the day, Rooney - leaves us with no physical present upfront & he was playing well, Foran - probably would have been my choice but can you imagine his reaction?? Duncan or Proctor - doesn't make much sense when you are a goal up

What you mean old school stadium :huh: ? Yeh, sorry Stadium is unique.. infact the whole experience was unique and it felt as though we'd warped to 1960. Very nostalgic stadium and you can tell it's almost part of the history of Burnley... the exact opposite of us & our stadium tbh :huh:

If this was Yahoo answers Best of Answers:

Everyone seems to have an opinion on this... so did Butcher do much wrong at half time. Would you have made changes?

Crosslands is your best bet but as long as you stay clear of the Viking you're sorted Pay weekend for a lot of us so imagine we'll have a decent-ish turnout

A professional foul is only ever punished with a yellow, which makes me think this must have been an extremely bad challenge to see a straight red. Not seen the replay yet but from the stand it didn't look that bad???? Any one else have a better view?

Thought Munro had a decent game.. certainly the first half he was pinging the ball about (similar to Bobby Mann).. would need to see the goals again to see if he was at fault How bad was Imrie's challenge... did it merit a straight red? (thought it was a yellow at best at the time)

I'll be there... Birthday game so looking forward to picking up 3 points and btw I think Terry will be just as gutted as everyone else but playing it down because the defeat will have a psychological affect on the team

Can't believe how well we played in that first half!! Hayes was outstanding... the Dundee defence didn't know what to do with him, Proctor won every header in the centre of the park and Rooney was doing a grand job holding up the ball.... to be fair you can pick out any of our players in the opening 45 minutes because the team was truely outstanding. At half time Butcher had a conundrum... did he attack to get the 3rd goal i.e. kill the match or sit back and conserve our lead??? The team did neither Instead we looked like 11 pedestrians and fell apart after 5 minutes in. Their first goal should never have happened... complete and utter f*cking joke but exactly the sort of goal we've been conceding all season.... shambles!! Fair play to Hart for their second goal.. marking was attrocious but it was a real quality cross & header. 3rd was also quality from Dundee... they seemed to be targeting Golly down the right wing (our left) with Harkins & Hart double teaming him (oooh err). I don't think Butcher could have changed the team from the first half because we were that f*cking good and after we lost the 1st he must have brought on Cox to strengthen the midfield but the damage was done on the flanks we needed support from midfield for Golly & Tokely Was absolutely gutted... wasn't even going to go as well but saying that the banter all day was excellent, great to see all the faces and the first half was worth the admission it's only a diddy cup anyway :huh:

cairngorm thanks anyway but managed to sort out something for me and a mate appreciate the offer and hopefully you don't have any trouble offloading the ticket

appreciate the offer mate... I heard a rumour that the club might still be selling the left over tickets but if not and you have a spare i'd be happy to take it off your hands

Your best going to the teams that are unlikely to sell out... I'd recommend Wigan, went a couple of seasons ago and had a cracking day/night out. Really welcoming and friendly support Went to Turfmoor last year for the ICT friendly.. loved how old school the stadium was but think you'd struggle to get tickets

For all us idiots that haven't bought tickets yet.. is there anyway of getting in on the day or will I have to watch from the hill??? Appreciate any help/advice cheers

That's a very sad attitude. A cup is a cup is a cup. What are these people waiting for, a Champion's League final? I find it ridiculous that hibbees and jambos would want to travel up from Edinburgh to watch, but supposed fans can't be *rsed. I think it's more about the time of the year tbh! I'm struggling, having spent money on travelling up for the C*unty game and had the mrs birthday last weekend I am really scraping the barrell to make it a long to this... especially when christmas is coming up and I know the game is being shown live on ALBA saying all that, I'm sure I'll be there

It'll be a foreign manager, no other Scotts stand out. Darren Ferguson would be the only one worth considering IMO and he has proved diddly squat
