'The biggest caravan in Dingwall is rumored to be this big...' 'As inevitable whiff of defeat set amongst the fans there was only one things left to do - play british bulldog with the stewards....'

'Right guys, Hands up who thinks i'm a good manager' 'Anyone clubs needing a manager next season?' 'who says you need fans and a full squad of good players to run a successful football team' 'Right that's it mike, if you don't score a goal no new contract for you and Zibi can play out the rest of the season between the sticks' 'Why doesn't anyone like me?' 'Maybe if i look like i'm shouting people won't notice that i know sod-all about man management, tactics and substitutions' 'Dennis who????' 'why am i the only one cheering, i mean it's the taking part that counts right???' 'You in the back row, do you want to be my friend, it would appear i have a few vacancies at this current time?' 'Shall i leave now, or do you want me to make us look p1sh for the remainder of the season?' 'Okay, okay who wants to play for ICT next season, if you can pull in the right direction you can pull on a shirt no questions asked'

This was my point - just because it goes on it doesn't make it acceptable for people to do it and i won't listen to the argument that drugs are rife in 2008 and he's not the only one - that's a p!ss poor excuse. Whilst he has always been a pretty solid player for us, drugs aside does he really have another season in him playing 1st team football? Wouldn't the wages be better spent elsewhere?

performances aside the guy is a professional sportsperson and an ambassador for the club with his pretty good wages come certain roles and responsibilities and one of those it not to take illegal drugs, in my opinion he shouldn't have played again for the club again. Whilst i'm not stupid enough to think that coke isn;t a very widespread drug amongst many groups of people, including circles of people i work with regularly but it doesn't make it okay for him to be taking drugs and his performances should not be enough to make this issue be tossed away and forgotten about, whilst I believe in rehabilitation i'm afraid i can't find it in my heart to cheer him on in an ICT top anymore.

Brewster - there's the door son, there's the door...

If it wasn't for section G i would only attend away games - you guys make the atmosphere and make me join in. Keep it going guys...

Great loss? Whilst he has been pretty solid over the years I'm afraid I disagree, Brewster pulls the plug on argueably one of ICT's greatest players' contract (Wyness) and yet the club let Hart back to the office shortly after his court case - what is going on at the club at the moment? Hart was very luckly to keep his job, i;d lose my job if i was convicted of such an offense and i barely earn above minimum wage. Hart on the other hand earns a lot of money, represents a family club and is a pro athlete all of which mean he shouldn;t be taking recreational drugs and if he does he certainly shouldn;t get a nice wee paid holiday then allowed to keep his job, i think after his actions his ability shouldn;t even matter...

Was disguested to read in the paper about Brewster pulling the plug on Wyness - I have supported him since he came back to club no questions asked but lack of good performances let alone wins this year, the loss of Rankin, what i deem as poor tactics and now this make me think that i can no longer support him and quite frankly if things don't drastically pick up i think the only person leaving the club after the season should be him. I'm a very unhappy man right now.

I think it's quite ironic that you describe the arrogance of youth where in actual fact that is an arguably arrogant viewpoint itself and one i would challenge. Some of the more interesting commentators on this board fall into 2 of those categories i think you need a bit of controversy, contrast and debate of a good board however i agree that some can feel alienated by the old boys club vibe sometimes - i'm a newbie but i don't think there's much of that about really. Also i think the time of year has a little to do with the dip, students have exams and so on (although sometimes that's an excuse to go on the forum), I think the school prelims are on at the moment, a lot of folks arn;t going to many games this month due to the economic hangover of the festive period and due to the lack of matches in recent weeks there has been less to talk about. Hopefully we can get back on track now we're getting closer and closer to the split...

My feelings exactly. However, I suspect we'll be in the minority prepared to express this view. here here. Lucky to keep his job and his good wage after the incident, not sad to see him go but i wish him all the best...

ditto

the singing - we need MORE of it, I have faith that all the young-uns i'm seeing at the home games will be joining in the chants in a few years, that'd be something, imagine going to a game and drowning out the OF??? Okay well i can dream at least

Should free up some wages which could be spent elsewhere, he was a good player at one time for the club IMO but his glory days are probably behind him. Added to that i think his actions were disgraceful and I don't believe he should have donned an ICT shirt again, even if he was our start player.

great idea to be honest - a die hard group of supporters is always welcome at the club nothing better than a full 90 mins of singing, i love the section G guys for keeping the atmosphere and do join in with most the chants - I ain't a real ''G'' boy though :019:

Indeed, I imagine if he'd been able to supply the team with a wee line of charlie we might have had a bit of pace/urgency about us..... Just kidding, I agree to an extent with what you're saying - Hart would have defo been more effective than McBain IMO. But really, anyone else think we are missing Rankin??? I do...

I was also lucky enough to be sharing a row with a few rangers fans, i made a point telling my friend very loudly how upset i get when i find away fans in the home end, to which i got a few dodgy looks. I'm not happy about sharing the stand with away fans, espeically not little 18 years old pr1cks who reckon they're cool as they try and boast to me they are rangers fans as we're queing for the turnstyles. However what is the solution? I don't think there is an easy one, and whilst i'd love to see them all chucked out, if they're not causing a scene in the ground and they are not wearing away colours they are perfectly in their rights to sit in the home and and cheer at a rangers goal if they want. It would have been feckin hilairious if we'd won yesterday though - i would have made a point of making fun of every hun in the north stand. On a positive note, great to see so many youngsters at the game supporting ICT - the future is in good hands it would seem...

Maybe if i had a shave i could pass as a primary child...

Well said proctor, are you going on sunday? If so i'll c u in the north stand, i'm making the trip north with chris. If there are ANY RFC supporters in the stand i hope everyone makes their presence know to the stewards, i'm not having any sectarian chanting scumbags sitting anywhere me on sunday.

Today's metro stated ICT had accepted a ?70,000 bid from Hibs...

As a very young child I was a rangers fan as everyone I knew picked one of the old firm teams, my favourite colour was blue so that was that. After the merger my primary and secondary schools got free tickets to games so i used to go a long with a friend or parent to the games and became an ICT fan. I dropped my fan status for rangers by the time i was 14 or so and since then it's always been ICT. i also support Newcastle because my folks used to live there and i;ve been there quite a bit and love the fan's spirit. Also due to my mum's family being from Edinburgh I've always had a big soft spot for the Jambo's up until this season i always attended a couple of home games at tynecastle. But ICT always number one for me, i hate rangers fans these days (and celtic fans to be honest) cannot stand biggotry at all and i'm so proud to support a small team with real fans!

Commentators are speculating the midfield is missing Rankin a bit, here's hoping the team fielded today can cut the mustard - i feel we are fielding a bit of a sub-par team to be honest.

While I certainly don't want to lose Rankin, I agree that it's the one position we're well covered for. Vigurs does indeed, look an outstanding prospect, and I'd love to see him given more of a chance. Besides, there's Barry, Markus, McBain, Hart......all more than capable of compensating for the loss of Rankin. Apart from Wilson how many of those players have a history of scoring goals though? Okay all Rankin's goals have been from the spot this season but he is always a threat. Hart is not up to standard IMO...

That happened a while ago when we played hearts at tyncastle on the same day scotland played Ireland. It may well happen again, who knows. I hope they don't change the date as i plan on going...

bring on wyness perhaps? certainly hope brew can give everyone a bit of a slap on the wrist at HT and we can come out and play like we did second half against Killie

I saw that as well, hope he can play against aberdeen - he really does a good shift and i really hope he stays. He reads the game well and tackles well. Okay he's not perfect but he's a great player for ICT and has done really well for us so far.
