Harry Chibber

Have to say I thought Black was woeful to be honest, plenty of effort but nothing worked out for the lad... Munro & Morias were the only 2 I would consider to have good games... the rest didn't adapt well to the sending off

Absolutely sick of reading this sort of pish... as Mantis has already pointed out Butcher turned us into a team with no hope/belief/direction into a team with top 6 form. Yes there were mistakes but we are never going to have a perfect manager or perfect players, otherwise they wouldn't be with us... we gave it our best and our best wasn't good enough, I'm afraid we just need to take this on the chin and move on Our fans have been tremendous pre-split and we need to bring that same support into the next season to ensure we bounce straight back. Players like Vigurs, Duff, Wood & Rooney will get their oppertunity and with Butcher at the helm we will have every chance

?250K for signings? Source? Butcher mentioned it in his interview after the match or someone said it not long after his interview, either way it was on Radio Scotland at somepoint

are we finished over-reacting yet How can anyone possibly complain about the team having no passion when we played with 10 men for the majority of the game. Munro, for me, was one of our best players, challenged for everything and won the majority of them.... he even used the ball quite well from the back F*cking horrible day, one of the worst but we can't always be looking for someone to blame... it just wasn't our day.

rubbish game, Shaktar were well worth the win but I don't rate Werder at all. Even with Diego they are horrible to watch.. I saw far better teams in the competition who would have given a better effort. What happened to Frings? He was one of the best players in Europe at one point now he looks worse than average, he was more invisible than McBain usuallly is

So has anyone got an idea of how many tickets have been sold for the home end?? Are we going to actually sell out?? If not, all this baffle about it not making business sense to have cheaper tickets.. is baffle (anyone know if baffle is a word?)

We're only taking the pesh.. I don't think anyone has an issue with Renegade, if anything it's refreshing to have someone on here that is constantly bringing up new threads for me to disagree with.

Aaaaarrrrggggggghhhhhhhh! Right let's get fecking stuck into them from the first whistle to the last... we may not be on the pitch with the boys but we are fighting for our survival out there and we need to do our bit off the park!!! I expect the crowd to make noise throughout the game without one moment of silence - a wall of sound, to break the hopes and spirits of the Falkirk faithful! Let's show these soft southern, wheel loving, central belters exactly what it means to be born in the highlands!! I don't expect any ICT fan to leave the TCS with their voice still intact... Do you want to be sitting in the Innes after the game thinking "if only I had tried that bit harder to encourage Zadi to bomb down the left wing, for Imrie to try that extra bit of magic, for Tokely to get his head to a corner from Blackie??" Think of of everytime you've seen teuchter spelt incorrectly?? everytime you've heard that bloody 'Amarillo' song at westfield?? the apologetic look you get when you tell someone from down south where you're from?? that tw@t from Real Radio!! I don?t know what to say, really. This Saturday will be the biggest battle of our lives. Now either we heal as a team or we?re gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, 'til we?re finished. We?re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. And, we can stay here -- get the 5hit kicked out of us -- or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time. Now, I can?t do it for you. I?m too old. I look around. I see these young faces, and I think -- I mean -- I made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who?s ever loved me. And lately, I can?t even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old in life things get taken from you. I mean that's...part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life?s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small -- I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don?t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don?t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They?re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that?s gonna make the fuckin' difference between winning and losing! Between livin' and dyin'! I?ll tell you this: In any fight, it?s the guy who?s willing to die who?s gonna win that inch. And I know if I?m gonna have any life anymore, it?s because I?m still willin' to fight and die for that inch. Because that?s what livin' is! The six inches in front of your face!! Now I can?t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you?re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you?re gonna do the same for him! That?s a team, gentleman! And, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That?s football guys. That's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do? copyright - Al Pacino

Bougherra's red card is likely to be overturned

He's been excellent against us in the 2 games I've been at this season so glad he's out but Aafjes is also a cracking player so doesn't make a massive difference to their team

Who'd have thought the day would come that Renegade would actually pick a team I'd completely agree with (apart from the captain).. shocker well played that man, I just hope Butcher agrees

try sensadine tooth paste, not only does it remove unwanted plaque & enamol but also gives you minty fresh breath B)

Wasn't at the game so can't really judge his performance over 90 minutes but from the highlights it looks as though he should have been marking at least one of the players at the back post... I really like the guy as an attacking full back but he it truely woeful at defending

When the stewards were trying to get us to sit down at Motherwell: They're not sitting over there They're not sitting over there They're not sitting over there Theyyyy'rrrre not ssssiiiiitttttiiiinnnnggg o ver there class my favourite, and one that we can use on Saturday: I'd rather have a monster than a wheel I'd rather have a monster than a wheel I'd rather have a monster I'd rather have a monster I'd rather have a monster than a wheel... stick your wheel up your erse

I really don't know what you're getting at... it doesn't matter where you get the points as long as they keep totalling up, no one is going to have a perfect record. He has done brilliantly to get us in a position to save our SPL status when we looked dead an buried after christmas. He has made a few mistakes along the way but that's understandable when he has picked up a team he probably knew very little about next season will be the time to judge Butcher as a manager but how you can blame him for where we are is beyond me

IF we go down I'm looking forward to cheaper match tickets

I know what went on Harry . Why would Esson be dropped for the good of the team when he hasn't made any mistakes ? Maybe he's an erse who's disrupting the team spirit??? Who fecking knows but one thing I've learned from playing in a few different footie teams is the manager is ALWAYS right.... even when you disagree with tactics, decisions etc. you do exactly as he says because he is your manager!! What does a goalkeeper have to argue about anyway? He dives inside the sticks, kicks the ball out and tries to keep the defence right, other than that he should keep his mouth shut and get on with it because that is what he's paid to do. yeah so if the manager is always right, then that surely means if things go wrong like us possibly going down its the managers fault. appraisal and fault come hand in hand. people should realise that. everyone is comparing butcher to brew, well obvously he looks good then. but like brews, butcher's record isn't that great as a manager, infact they are very similar. esson shouldn't have been dropped. 23 points from 16 games... again, what exactly were you expecting?? I'll agree with you that Brew is culpable but how can you blame Butcher?? you obviously don't rate the guy, which is fair enough, but I think you are clutching at straws if you actually believe it's his fault if we get relegated

Don't have a clue how I'm getting there but I'll somehow be at TCS come 12.30 Saturday

hope so... just getting a bit nervous It was more the support throughout I was getting at... even if we do lose a goal at any point in the game it's important we get back into song and continue to back the team because ICT have shown over the last few weeks there is plenty of spirit to come back from a deficit

I've just watched as West Brom were mathimatically relegated from the EPL and I hope next weekend we can offer an ounce of the support that they offered for their players. From the first whistle they were right behind the team and the manager even when they knew it was an almost impossible task to escape relegation. I think the most impressive aspect of their support today was once they lost a goal from an individual howler... instead of booing and shouting at the player involved there was a split second which passed before the next chant started and they continued to back the team.... When the player involved was subbed in the second half, even though he had arguably lost them the chance to compete in one of the biggest leagues in the world (annoying but true) he was applauded off the pitch. The fans then stayed behind to applaud the team for their efforts throughout the season Obviously we may not have the size of support that West Brom have but I think the effort the team has put in since Butcher was appointed manager deserves the same appreciation come what may on Saturday. I hope we can behave with the same dignity if things don't go our way

Maybe Esson was dropped for the good of the team... unless you have insider knowledge????

Actually I think Butcher & Malpas will deserve some of the blame if we do get relegated. Given the situation when they came on board they achieved a minor miracle in getting us off the bottom. However, consistently poor team selections have taken us form the verge of safety back to the brink of relegation. We can't pin that on clueless Craig complately agree, at the end of the day it's football...it's simple one team has to score more goals than the other and its the managers duty to play his best 11 in the appropriate positions, if he does not do this then the manager has to take at least 50% of the blame and then same to the players. If people want to kid themselves and blame it on the board then go on but your just delusional. People need to wake up and realise this, butcher and brew both have done pretty poor jobs when you look at the actual facts which are the lack of points on the board from both managers. people just look stupid if they want to argue with facts. you could say butcher did well when he came first came in but now he has almost chucked it all away. he has to take a huge chunk of the blame as at end of the day it was his job to keep us up...NOONE elses. 23 points from 16 games since Butcher took over, including a win and a draw against either side of the old firm. I'm struggling to see what you're getting at... with that sort of points tally we would be in the top 6 if he was incharge from the start of the season. There has been a couple of dissapointing results but what are you expecting... perfection? It's my fault for not being at as many games as I should have at the start of the season and for backing Brew til the end :023:

Falkirk or us basically.. they have the better record against us, we have a 5hit home record Pressley out after his red card so that should rock them but I am not confident about it.... ffs, horrible if only we had held on against Motherwell
