Harry Chibber

absolutely devastated at the time but have come to terms with it now, the players did us proud yesterday I have had to endure a slagging from a rake of Celtic fans today but more than anything they admitted how unlucky we were. It is almost as if we have earned respect from other teams for that performance and people are starting to take note that we can play good football and we are no longer a small club over achieving

one week your taking back what you have previously said about Christie and then you slate him again.... some people just don't learn :006: Scottish Cup allows 5 subs, we had only Hart as midfield cover due to injuries and Paatalinen being cup tied.

Since Black has his own thread I think it is only right Bayne got one... I though he was in a class of his own yesterday, he gave the perfect targetman performance. Held the ball up, ran his *** off and even managed a wee jink when he was out numbered by three Celtic players in the corner. I think it was by far the best performance I have seen from him in an ICT shirt, I doubted his ability at the start of the season, and to be fair, at that time he was not showing any real quality but this season he has come in to his own. If any player deserved to be in the winning side yesterday it was Bayne... keep it up big'n :025: :025: :025:

Fair play he was absolutely top drawer yesterday but still could have easily been sent off, if Christie can calm his temper he could be a real quality player for us.

The exact same things were being said about Bayne 2 seasons ago :024: I agree with Caley100 (although I know you were being sarcastic) if MacAllister is going to ever make an impact on the side he needs to build his confidence, he has bagged plenty of goals in the reserves he just needs to transfer that to the first team. He might not have what it takes but he is not going to become a decent player if the supporters are already writing him off when he has only just started his career, remember he is just 21.

The fans!! We severely lacked the 12th man yesterday, even after going 1-0 ahead in the Scottish cup quarter final against currently the best team in Scotland we struggled to muster a CALEY CALEY CALEY It seems that most people would say that the substitution of Black was the turning point in the game (me included) but with Hart having to come on for McBain we were left only with the option of another Striker. The question is whether Black should have come off... he bossed the midfield all game but if his tackles were refereed by a different ref he could have easily walked and he was absolutely shattered which meant he was more likely to go into someone with a bad challenge. IMO it was a bad decision to take Black off but I can certainly see why CC did it. I can understand the frustration but you should be asking how the team managed to lead a game against the champions of the SPL for 88 minutes.. answer because CC and Parkie had the tactics spot on, the team were absolutely superb for the majority of the game yesterday and yet the only thing anyone seems to want to talk about is the last 3 minutes of madness.

as above

I'm sure I've seen that before :024:

Funny that :024: :016: tis a good read... 68 sigs so far, not bad but could do with a lot more. Would like to have more than 200 before I submit it

Since we have not done one in a while and my last game was against Stirling :023: 8 hr round trip on the bus but can't fecking wait :005:

, Harry, if you can be in Perth for around 9 am then yes no can do, cheers anyway

Is the offer of a lift still on the table?

remember we also have to count our Scottish Cup run aswell... something that has been severly lacking over the last few years!! Could be a very memorable season :024:

You really can't judge what position we are in at the moment because it isn't a true reflection when you look at our run of games. We now have a run of United (h) Killie (a) Dunf (h) Rangers (a) Falkirk (h) there is a bag full of points there if we play to our potential. I think top 6 is out of reach this season but isn't as far off as it looks just now.

:021:

Yes might be less revenue to start with but if we make a change and try to unveil a more exciting, diverse league with more teams, more managers points of views, tactics etc.. and more player competing on a similar level then I would hope that more people would come to watch and greater sponsorship deals would be offered. Also with less games in a season I guarantee the attendance s will go up due to cheaper season tickets. More talent would be on offer and teams would actually try and play football with less fear of falling into the relegation battle. A play off situation at the end of the season for those in the relegation positions. Something needs to be done because to be honest Scottish Football has been stale for a long time!

You know it makes sense, sign the petition all it takes is a name and an email address :003: :003: :003:

Why thank you kind sir, I put it down to years of Football/Champ Manager :015:

Sign the petition... :link:

... armchair managers (me included), put your money where your mouth is and name the team you would play against Cellic this weekend?? Fraser Tokely Dods Munro Hastings Duncan Wilson Black McBain Rankin Bayne With Wilson and Rankin playing almost as second strikers, Bayne will have to work his erse off but he's used to that anyway :021:

Seems that a lot of posters on this site wait until they have something to moan about before they post on the site I'm all for people being constructive with their criticism but it's the posters that start asking for CC's job after 1 bad result that get me pi55ed

it has been said on other threads that CC tried to bring someone in but couldn't find a player that would improve the squad ... how many other teams in the SPL would kill for a striker that could win you a game???

wondered how long it would take... I think today's result is the only one worth questioning but even then sounded as though we were unlucky in the second half and CC made 3 subs, which shows he will try and ring the changes. I'd expect to see Black replacing Duncan in the next match, he has come on the last 3 matches and I think he has served his time on the sidelines... McSwegan for MacAllister might also be considered

come on ICT ffs

Think he is possibly just reviewing things now because he realises it's likely we'll finishing in the bottom half for another season. To be fair though he has a point, it's as though the SPL know that they need to change something but are too scared to make the leap into a 16 team league. Until then any small change seems like a token gesture
