IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I totally accept that but why play them fer the whole 90 minutes in that position - I am all for interchanging and I can see how that could work As do Cowie and Imrie. Did you notice which foot Imrie used - did you notice how many times Imrie went at the bye line and crossed with his right - or played a first time ball - and the same fer Cowie. We have one above average wide man and one average wde man - play them fer 60 - 70 % of the game on their chosen peg. They are both evidently frustrated and the non verbal response by Bazza to a few shouts said it all. Perhaps you were played on the left cos ya were the last name on the feckin team sheet.

To be honest I would say - Hello Mr Brewster - and check whether he had his feckin shoes on the right feet - or the left and right feet - and I would glance at his groin region to check his immediate perception of ma adonis like figure. I would then say - "Can you get rid of Mike Smith?".

Whoa boys - Hibs controlled the first 20-30 minutes - our goal changed the game - and we got the roll of the dice for once and we desreved it - but Brew was playing a mighty strange midfield system before the goal and changed it afterwards - before the goal Vigurs was practically the holding player and was doing a Royster impersonation - after the goal Duncan went back into the hole - Vigurs was given more freedom and excelled himself. IF Hibs had scored first - well - but lets not dwell on IF's.

DOH - Fraser, Munro, Wood, Duff, Sutherland - SPL not feckin ***** SFL. Feckin asterisks - qypsy

Sorry guys - but Brewster is a minor irritation - if ya follow a club it should be driven from the heart - I have been feckin cheesed off fer weeks but I am as high as a feckin kite today - and I have been taking my Lithium !! ICT is a feckin drug - Caledonian was a drug - (Thistle was a depressant but we wont go into that) - I go games cos I am totally addicted but I especially love the peeple I meet on ma travels - we are all kindred spirits - well apart from Ralf Milnee - ICT is the best medicine ya could take - take a dose 1-2 a week and feckin see.

Wouldnt it be nice to go 10-9 by Saturday evening ?

BUMPED - FAO CRAIG BREWSTER

:thumb04: One of my better translations !! Reckon it will be Ryan Esson in the doo doo doo doo version next weekend But I stood - on the second back row fer most of the game yesterday; the copper came up and sorted the back wall banging very promptly - when we were all standing up - and went way as quickly. Plus the Hibees have feckin poles erected on the back of the stand so ya can hang yer feckin banners on them - did PP get a piccy ? That is what the TCS nazis have to feckin learn - let the fans feckin enjoy themselves - bend the feckin rules a bit as long as there is no over the top nonsense - but sort it out like the Embra Polis. Are you feckin listening Mike Smith - I bet if I "behave" and feckin enjoy maself next weekend like I did today - I would get thrown out. Hibs was a great example of how to police a support but allow them to enjoy themselves and get behind their team - and that is what it is all feckin about.

Yes - wise words from an old git - sorry - two old gits - but I fer one enjoyed yesterday and I will judge Brewster week by week, performance by performance - better change ma sgnature.

Perhaps it was becos all the loud mouthed pissheads were at the turnstiles ?

I would have to add that yeterday was the first time in YEARS that I actually felt that Esson would save the penalty - where are the stattos - how many penalties did Brown and Fraser miss/save. I may be unkind but I would still go fer Rooney instead of Wood - the lad did a brave Terry Butcher yesterday and certainly put himself about - wish we get a traditional centre forward and keep the young lad in reserve. So this morning the hangover says RYAN ESSON - total respect / GARY WOOD - respect / Many thanks to the players fer looking together and playing football fer the first time in ages and to Craig Brewster fer listening to the fans and going back to the basics - when he learns right and left he may even get a feckin hug.

Best away support this season ?

:D :thumb04: :018: ;) :015: :D :P You've just sent me to bed laughing hysterically That wasnt sarcasm ya tatw. :021: :D :D :D :D :D Hope the restraints arent too tight. :D :D :D :D :D

All I can say or slur is that it was another feckin great away day >

Sorry - but Brew got lucky today - but perhaps deserved it. The team looked like they wanted to win and he renaged on his previous tactics. We went to the days of yore but the players lifted the perfomance - Brew played the system better but still made a few bollicks

Before I begin - aint looked at any other threads and this is ma one and only offering. I travelled to Embra half expecting a thumping and the demise of Brewster - He aint out of the sharn yet but he regressed to his tactics of last season - and today was reminiscent of the Tannadice 1-0 "hammering" - That is the best performnace from ICT since that day or beyond. Brew reverted to the formation and tactics of the days of yore plus. He played a very tight 4-5-1 - a very compact back four evidently told to defend and not go forward - fair enuff - never seen Rosscoe so shackled !! You really had to be there to believe it - very defensive but understandable The defence held a high line and appeared to be together fer the first time this season - (RE) -we flooded the middle but played Imrie and Cowie wide (albeit on the wrong feckin side again) - we were out of shape in the middle - until we got the goal - but then we went very compact and Duncan (who was doing a Royster impersonation) went back in to the hold and we played a very tight but effective midfield with Black and Vigurs as joint playmakers ( buth with both on the wrong foot !!) WHY ?? ESSON :003: :thumb04: :018: ;) He won us the game - MOM by a feckin mile - alert, manic, always looking fer the early ball - First time I saw him at falkirk I called him Calderesque - he was excellent - he responded instantly to the fans - potentially a cult hero in the making. ROSCOE :015: :D Evidently harnessed but did the defensive job. HASTINGS :P :021: :D As per Rosscoe. MUNRO :D :D :D :D Just held his line and harnessed the rest. PROCTOR :D :D :D Still not convinced that he is a central defender but his extra pace helped. IMRIE :D :D :D **** me does he go hot and cold - great appetite fer the game, some lubbly touches - PUT HIM ON THE LEFT DUNCAN :D :D :D :D Really didnt know where he was before they scored but went back to the "hole" after - Respect as usual. BLACK :D :D :D :D :D International class apart from the temparament - the boy ruled the game. VIGURS :D :D :D Lost until Duncan went in the hole - showed his class thereafter. COWIE :D :D :D :D :D If he had been on the right flank we would have massacred them. WOODS :D :D Sorry the lad worked his socks off but was pretty ineffective. Long way to go - There is only one Ryan Esson Brew got out of jail today but I have to admit that it was the best away day in yonks.

On the subject of lest we forget or do we remember I recall sitting in a pub in Dublin and Oscar Wilde turned to me and remarked ?The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.? Time to reflect ?

I am not sure that it would be ideal if we play Proctor at the back, deep and looking to push the rest forward - Munro may not be used to being in a comprimising position - suggest that we play them side by side. Wonder what Chris 124 thinks ?

I sincerely hope - and I express this with a modicum of civility - that he/she was taking the pishh.

:thumb04: Now you are beginning to appreciate sarcasm. ;) :018:

What about Chorley ? At least one inhabitant at Easter Road tomorro - and four at the Jam Tarts and two at the Killie and two at the Cellic and three on to the Midden.

Just to put a slightly different slant on this - but would yas agree that Mikey is similiar in weaknesses to Brown - almost in a non role model type of way - which leads to the question - how are we training our keepers ?

It should embrace it all - it is about "togetherness" and "ownership" - and a bond between the club and the fans - a "family" feeling with open two way communication - I remember those days well.

I take it from these remarks that you would have made no changes to the side which got thrashed last week. I've never been pro Brewster, but in your eyes (and many others to be fair) he can do no right at all. He would have been pilloried by many on here if he had not changed last week's team. So what is he to do? Shades of Catch 22! DOH - you misread me yet again - It is not about the Hun game - it is about the last 15-20 games - apart from Falkirk away I have cringed at some of the systems and tactics that he has employed - he has chopped and changed the side all season and leaves the side and the players with no continuity or confidence. I have extolled his strengths - mainly as a fantastic player - but I have always used rationales for any criticism I have made against him - and I have never been overly crude or abusive to him - I have shown him a measure of civility really. Of course changes are required - but what changes will he make - I reckon he will be swayed by public opinion cos he is drinking in the Last Chance saloon - but when you are in that predicament ya need yer drinking buddies to be really up fer ya and that is not the case. Our management cannot fail to see that but they are in the old school round of drinks and are blind feckin drunk.

Civility ??!! What the **** are they teaching you in Toronto ?
