IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

For fecks sake - and to all who are e-mailing me fer further info - It is obvious that Brew was a great player - Brew was a great professional - Brew was one of the best fitness coaches around - he is not a people person - he is not a manager - and he is an incompetent tactician who is too proud or arrogant to accept the blame - our management are bunch of old school, incestuous, gutless, amateur individuals who are out of their league - if not having the life of the club at heart. Brew's appointment was a farce, Brew's prolonged lifeline is a total farce - we have a failing manager, a sub standard management, a struggling team, some players who are not up to the SPL and a diminishing, fed up support. We need an infusion of new blood all round but the moves have to start from the top - we can all see it but we just sit around and watch the demise - cos we are powerless and the failures project the blame and it is THEY that hold on to the glories of yesteryear and wallow in the survival of the SPL. The management of this club revolves around negativity - we are becoming indebted to a failing SPL standard and teams who are even less prepared and less fortunate than us - the standard of football on fare has dropped significantly and we are thankfully in the same position as 3-4 others - but we are getting closer and closer to the SFL. We have been punished by the Marius episode - but at least we have the yoof coming through - but we also have a habit of pissing off the players that we should be retaining and making a fool out of the older pros who we should be embracing. The demise of this club as been assimilating over the last two seasons - off the field issues are strangling the recruitment of new fans - send the stewards down the away end like they do at other clubs and at least gain the much needed vocal support that may encourage the fans. Get rid of the eejit Smith and put in a person with a local "heart" and a people person - put in a manager who holds respect and puts a team on the field who fights for the cause and is tactically structured and put in a senior management structure who are not driven by tradition and the old school ties.

?Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else.?

OK - enuff is enuff - I will defy the victimisation threat and will join the old gits fer the Jam Tart match.

If you were going to play Proctor put him in place of Tokely - Duff deserved to start - McBain could have replaced Hastings - Cowie could have been given a Bazza role - Imrie could have been tucked into midfield - Vigurs should have started - Rooney should have started. Brewster has been feckin up the line ups, the systems and the tactic since near the close of last season. Plus he has lost the dressing room with all his nonsensical tactics and constant chopping and changing.

The last straw - Meaning - The final additional small burden that makes the entirety of one's difficulties unbearable. The straw that broke the camel's back is the last thing you are willing to accept after which you will not put up with any more. You are at the last straw when you are just about to lose your patience. The straw that broke the camel's back is the last thing that that happened that finally made you upset.

I evidently live on a different planet from Brewster - What disgusts me is that he hasnt - and never does - admit that he got it wrong - that he was part of the problem - I get fed up with him trying to project the blame on others - that is why I call him arrogant.

Fer fecks sake - can someone grab Craig Brewster and stick him on a feckin stall.

What about Marius Niculae as a player manager ? Popescus as coach and Hagi as the Director of Football ? As Martin Luther King once said to me - "I have a dream

Fraser :D :D Rossco :P Proctor :021: Munro :D Hastings :thumb04: Cowie :D :D Duncan :D Black :D :D McBain :018: Imrie ;) Barrowman :D :015: Brewster :D :D

As ma good pal Rudyard Kipling once said to me - with a mouth full of cake - One day, as I sat sad and lonely and without a friend, a voice came to me saying "Cheer up, things could be worse". So I cheered up, And sure enough, Things got worse.

Methinks that there may be more to the professional relationship between Brew and Proctor than meets the eye. Brew evidently likes what he sees and has groomed the lad fer the future. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/t...ke_and_tyke.jpg

I once had the runs for four days.

?There are none so blind as those, that will not see? The term "lost the dressing room" is used in football (soccer) to describe the situation where a manager of a club is seemingly very near to being sacked. The team will invariably be struggling on the pitch, the manager will be under a lot of pressure and the signs may be that he has lost the faith and respect of his players.

I may have got the Winters a bit wrong - I have just received a piccy of the proposed management duo that Grasser and the Board have apparently being after fer years - apparently they are the closest thing to Brew/Malky and Robbo/Park - and there is both a striking resemblance in both looks, style and probably footballing knowledge.

And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, Ill say it clear, Ill state my case, of which Im certain. Ive lived a life thats full. Ive traveled each and every highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, Ive had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.

Wow - just off the bat phone - BIG rumour. Seriously - PM me and I will tell ya the source ?

Now that is the problem - Orion or Savage or Grasser or Sutherland or Tullochs ?? Think about it ? And realise that there are disposable pawns - (CC) - in the TCS power struggle - but the sufferers are the players and the fans.

RIP CRAIG BREWSTER - Great player - great to watch - a joy to play with - a feckin role model - a nice person - a fitness fanatic - a fitness regime expert - a crap manager - a terrible tactician - a feckin awful man manager. Thanks fer the good times - but **** aff before ya kill us off. please.

For once I agree - but it is Brew or the future of this club - he has clearly lost the dressing room and the support of the fans - how much longer can the feeble management support him - despite his "hold" over some of them.

Well more elongated and more eloquent but nuch the same CD - Brew is the common denominator - and although I know that he is being strung along to a degree - he must go - BUT WE MUST NOT APPOINT ANOTHER YES MAN - as we have done fer too long - We need a new Director of Football - a new Cheif Executive and a new ASSERTIVE manager - if we are to survive.

I am getting so fed up with this forum - smell the feckin coffee - our management are numpties - our manager has no tactical nous - Marius fecked us from day one - he brought a boardroom war - our old school protected Brew - Brew protected his faves - we are being run by amateurs - Smith is practically the worst PR we have ever have. Our players - apart from a couple of experienced replacements and a bit of yoof pace can stand their own in the SPL - we are so tactically crap that it is unbelievable.

Really sorry - but I have now listened to that five times and, from a psychological perspective - I am DISGUSTED. His arrogance is astounding - at no time has he even considered to shoulder any of the blame for today - nor as he ever tried to shoulder any of the blame for the past mistakes. He should be accepting the blame but he is trying to project it on to th players - he has truly lost the dressing room - he has completely lost any regard that I have ever had for him. Listen to the false tone of his voice - does he take any of the blame ? - does he try to protect his players or some of them ? Listen to him - Listen to this closely a few times - from a psychological point of view - get the patronising **** OUT.

From a psychological perspective that sounded like a man who could smell the feckin coffee and was trying to avoid the inevitable. The man was a feckin great player, a decent coach, a feckin brilliant fitness preacher but NOT a tactician nor a people person nor a manager.

OH dear OH dear OH dear - When the managers loses the dressing room there is only one way that the team will go. full stop. enuff said.
