IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

That is what I was feckin asking ? Or did you mean to say pay for us ? Anyway the threat of legal action will bring this thread to a close shortly.

I would prefer to muster ?1000.00. I will phone Bucharest to organise a loan.

Dont even feckin jest. :thumb04:

I said "looked at" - a good striker costs more than players in other positions. At least we are looking at the loan system market.

Non ICT - WOW - The legend has been disowned already.

As the new season is upon us I feel that we have to give the entire set up our support - criticism will be given after the performances. I am now led to believe that recent occurences at the club may well have shackled us from spending spondoolachs in the transfer market but I am still concerned that we appear to be sticking with the Brew Faves as well. The positives are that we appear to be giving the yoof of ICT a better opportunity to experience SPL football and with the likes of Duff, Vigurs, Zander and Wood - that can only be encouraging fer the future of the club. It is also a positive that we have looked at strengthening in the striking department and have managed to cling on to the like of Cowie. My big concern is that we have not drafted in some experienced players - especially in defence and potentially a holding midfield player. I fear that we are placing too much expectation on the likes of Tokely, Maguire,Hastings and Duncan to provide that experience. They may have the SPL experience but their performances have not given us the hope that they will be able to keep us afloat - they are all too Jekyll and Hyde. we simply dont have a Bobby Mann figure who can play balls intelligently out of defence - on the floor as well. My other concern is around Grant Munro. the captaincy appeared to weigh him down last season. He is still only young and developing - two more years with a Dods like figure would have been ideal. The expectations on him to hold a realtively young side together this season is equally if not more taxing. So lets hope that the "hoof" tactic is dropped to an extent and that we look to attacking - I would prefer to lose 4-3 than 1 or 2-0. Lets hope that the younger players develop quickly and are allowed to make their marks. Lets have some consistency in formations and tactics and lets use the feckin bench more appropriately. Well - Here's hoping

Due to the apparent threat of legal action I will be brief. What has happened about the Mercenary ? - Has he played for Dinamo Diddies yet ? Did we get the spondoolachs ?

Aye well done to Mr Brew - that is the kind of touch and action that will always be appreciated. My criticism, as with the Mercenary, were never directed from a personal angle. From what I can tell MR B comes across as a very affable gentleman. I would say that he is one of the best players that I have seen at the TCS - I also think that he initially turned us into a far better outfit in regard to his fitness, diet manifesto. I do however have concerns about his overall man management skills and the fact that he appears to bring personal feelings into the professional arena. I also have grave concerns in regard to his tactical awareness and astuteness.

Unfortunately the fact that we are so split about the team fer the first game of the season says it all. And then the apparent agreement that Brewster will play the wrong team, the wrong formation and the wrong tactics say even more.

Personally I really like Granty as he is a local lad who has come up through the ranks - but as per usual has been pushed too far too soon. I thought that he really suffered from the responsibility of captaincy whereas before he was really progressing as a player. He really benefitted from Dods and I still feel that he needs a player of experience playing alongside him fer another 2-3 seasons before he blossoms. Maguire and Proctor do not fit that need. I really fear fer our defence this season and I fear that Granty may take a lot of flak cos he will be looked at as the leader and the organiser.

YES - Ian Black is going to be the next John Rankin - would you believe me if I said that it was Brewster who was the one holding out ?

I would like to bet that the feckin hammock holding Scotty must be made of feckin steel mesh or he has been hypnotised to believe that he could float.

The main website is boring as you cant really get barred from it plus it is full of inaccuracies or so itappears or so I am given to believe. :thumb04:

Feck me - I am finding maself agreeing with CaleyD more and more - Of course we cant sack the Board BUT how much more of the amateurness, the ineptitude and the embarrassment can we suffer ?

Why dont we have a handicap and promote Shearer and let the Brew/Shearer combo take on the SPL - Victoria park next season anybody ?

I suggest that we NEED an official club statement about this or we will lose any credibility. Tell us ICT's version NOW.

You are falling into the Stevieco trap Tom - My comments at present are about the future of ICT and that is my drive - I heavily criticised the Mercenary from a footballing perspective last season - with a large portion of OTT baiting and wind fer all the Marius obsessives - which probably detracted from my viewpoint - but it was worth it. Stevieco gets rite up my nose as he just denies that the mercenary has EVER done anyhing wrong and that the Mercenary has been the wronged party since day 1 - GTF. I am actually saying that it is a combination of a few parties - but Marius is far from feckin perfect and his greed is now showing through. Stevico pertained to a 30% pay off NOT a 20% and he whinges about Kaiserlautern - if he isnt the agent then who is ? ICT can agree an official approach - are we supposed to take 100K less becos the player prefers it :thumb04: Of feckin course he arranged the deal with Dinamo. And are you telling me that two clubs communicated and both misunderstood if it was sterling or euros. :018: ;) Is there anything as a verbal agreement these days - GTF. Stevico - why was he a witness if he wasnt involved - you put pen to feckin paper. BUT if it was part of a written contract then the Mercenary unfortunately has a point. Lets get the mercenary and Stevico back to Eastern Europe .

Just to look again at some of the statements made by the Mercenary's mate - 100 K euros as the SECOND part of his signing on fee - what was the first payment ? 30% of the sellin on fee - WTF - are we led to believe that ICT agreed to this ?? - without any Orion assisstance. As if the Mercenary had never had any contact with Dinamo before 19/07 - GTF. The club accepted a bid without the Mercenary - or his agents knowledge - The mercenary would have pocketed a cool 300 k euros fer that. A very clever post from the Mercenary camp - trying to project the blame on to everyone apart from the Mercenary - who clearly now smell os the same manure as a few others. What would we be calling him if he derived from Ross-shire. FECK OFF THE LOT OF YOU

I hope so - reading between the lines - that Granty is suggesting that we could be buying in an experienced defender with leadership skills.

Oh what a surprise - the voice of feckin reason tells the forum the honest truth - that the Mercenary is the wronged party = as he always has been - and he is honourable and exempt from any skullduggery in the whole affair. Give me a feckin break. He is now acting as the Mercenary he always was - but at least this whole affair has shown the total ineptitude of our management. This was a Savage v Sutherland issue from the very off - as I have always alluded to - the boardroom politics throughout have been a shambles !! This, as with the Brewster appointment, The Park departure, the Rankin affair and now this has to clearly show that Grasser and co are not up to it. The only winners out of this are Savage and Niculae - as was probably planned in the first place. Well good riddance to the psycopathic businessman and the venerable, hard done by mercenary. Most of us will not shed a tear, or take notice of the Stevico dribble and pathetic pontificating - a pity a few others didnt feck off at the same time, And RIG - you are spot on - would you sign fer a club with our presnt management reputation and/or the relationship between Brew Lets get back to feckin normal before the club implodes.

No worrie on that score Chris. :004:

Personally I would turn Ross shire into a Safari park - I have thought it through and it would be a financial development and would we backed by the Scottish parliament and environmental groups. We would just let the tinks stay in their caravans and populate the area with more wildlife. We could have Evanton Elephants, Maryburgh Monkeys, Culbokie cheetahs (there are plenty of them already), Dungwall Dingos (would be great watching them fiting the tinks in the dustbins), Alness alligators etc. etc. The great thing is that financially we wouldnt have to worry about mating or reproduction as bestiality would provide us with a ready answer. And the area itself would be preserved as the state of current in breeding trends would not alter. And we could put a huge feckin electric fence around the feckin lot of them.

He is - He aint happy with Brewster.

I never knew the bit about the Kaiserlautern bid - are we a bunch of amateur businessmen fer fecks sake - wht are we pandering to a feckin mercenary - make that _ the feckin two faced , lazy, lying, cheatin mercenary *******. :rotflmao: He is behaving like one of those travelling people from Ross shire. :crazy07: Still - I now have a feckin great song fer next season. :015: :015:

It is a case of the glorious Marius demanding his 80-100K fee for the transfer - in other words a large percentage of what he would have got in wages. The initial fee agreed was MINUS that wage fee - which would go into the back pockets of Marius and his agent. My gawd - are we to be betrayed by the loyal servant who jumped into the North Stand, kissed the badge and had Inverneess and the supporters in his heart. :rotflmao: And now - people will understand why I labelled him a mercenary and I am afraid that we will have to go to The Protocol Additional GC 1977 (APGC77) provides the most widely accepted international definition of a mercenary, though not endorsed by some countries, including the United States. The Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, (Protocol I), 8 June 1977. It states that: Art 47. Mercenaries 1. A mercenary shall not have the right to be a combatant or a prisoner of war. 2. A mercenary is any person who: (a) is specially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict; (b) does, in fact, take a direct part in the hostilities; © is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a Party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party; (d) is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict; (e) is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict; and (f) has not been sent by a State which is not a Party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces. All the criteria (a - f) must be met, according to the Geneva Convention, for a combatant to be described as a mercenary - I am reliably informed that Marius does. If, after a regular trial, a captured soldier is found to be a mercenary, then he can expect treatment as a common criminal and may face execution. So - what is your wish - decapitation, firing squad or stoning - the feckin two faced , lazy mercenary ******* want get his feckin 80K then.
