IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

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.

I think it was Callaghan with Rankin but he was merely trying to get the best contract / deal fer Rankin as everything behind the scenes had been agreed many months previous. I dont blame Cowie as he was on the receiving end of Brewster's arrogance last season, was played out of position on many occasions, was dropped for no apparent reason - apart from questioning Brew Almighty. We would have a better chance if Brew fecked off. Am I the only one that thinks that, given Cowies' potential that it would be worth getting him on board as we will probably make some spondoolachs in the long run - or perhaps that way of thinking is way past the level of the numpties in charge of the club.

We tried to get Cuthbert at the end of last season. If we have to spend then we should be looking at paying a bit extra fro a 30 something experienced central defender. Pressley wont come but summat like him.

I am with you RIG - I aint paying 14 pounds to sit in a plastic stand and watch and listen to a bunch of useless weegies.

Fair play that some of them have done good things - if not all of them - in the past. I am sure that many have ICT at heart but have been amateurish and conned professionally. We need somebody with a real business head at the front - Savage now looks as if he was very, very clever in the manner where he orchestarted his departure and almost looks like the wronged party. Sutherland was even sucked in or perhaps found him out too late. What would have happened if Savage was still around when this debacle became clearer - Another case of I told you so and got slagged fer it. :018:

I have been told that Imrie had been to Kung Fu lessons on the Thursday before the match where he was shown how to block the blood vesseks of an opponent by kicking him in the jugukar. I am also informed that it was a well executed neck high kick which felled the lad - Imrie didnt laff but stood up with a Japanese smile and shouted Yazoo at the top of his voice. It was a far more sinister incident than the tame mistimed tackle of Rosscoes.

TBH I quite like turf Moor - one of the old fashioned stadia in the cobbled back streets - very close to the actual pitch and you will probably be in the away end behind the gaols which is compact and noisy. Just a wee walk from the car park - but I would suggest that yas dont park in the back streets. Again I think that Blackpool is overerated and is at least two train journeys and at least an hour away. Preston is a good nite out and plenty of travel lodges there. I have heard that Blackburn and Burnley may be at this game but any fiting will be well away from the ground and most of the modern firms square up to fellow hoolies anyway. My advice is to just breeze quickly through Burnley fer the game and move on to Preston or even Manchester - Blackpool is shyte.

Cowie and Black will remember that they were victims of the Brewster arrogance last season - there is no feckin Marius money - If we are to keep these two past the January window - we need a change of management.

Hope the cheating plastic pitch weegies go straight back down again - still they are a bit like Gretna and are a feckin godsend to us.

This thread isn't meant to be about where the money should be spent. It is about our completely new forward line that, Rory aside, will be (almost) wholly new to the SPL. Survival this season is about getting a decent defence. That takes precedence over any feckin thread.

Man on the moon is from the feckin moon. :029: He is a feckin lunartic.

Fer fecks sake - never mind about the slagging or the positives or support the club or feckin stoopid stats - When has Rory actually impressed in any of his SPL starts - He is a good lower league striker but is away behind Vigurs, Wood and Zander in terms of skill and potential. Brewster is hanging the poor **** out to dry with our start.

It will be denied of course - but I am reliably informed that a certain Orion Group have funded the transfer BUT it is the money that should have been paid fer his wages this season - therefore Orion do not lose out - Marius and his agent walk away with what they would have got anyway (at least) - and ICT get feck all - and that comes from a very, very reliable source. Believe it or not but it is yet another feckin feck up behind the scenes - My guess is that it will be reported as an undisclosed fee or a **** take at 350K cos we allowed him to go cos we are so feckin nice. :018: :008: :008:

The penny feckin drops eh ? Who the heck are Inverness Thistle??? :004: :001: Feckin stoopid Viking tawts.

Jhesus - It is Marius Niculae reinfeckincarnated. :011: Still lets hope that Brewster is feckin CC reincarnated - oh **** - but then Shearer will take over - oh **** - Was that a feckin premonition?

DOH - that was sarcasm. :023: But I really do wish that he was here fer another season - but I expect that he has done a @runner@ as the Euros were his mission and he got there - I reckon he realised that the pressure to perform would have really have been on him. That is another reason why he has turned out to be just another mercenary - if he had stayed and proved his undoubted class and also proved he is not carrying a long term injury - then I would have doffed my cap. Good luck Marius - ya feckin lazy bottler. :003:

Sign the **** fast is my advice - the guy really has the potential to be another Anthony Stokes.

McAllister is another Niculae - unfortunately I am referring to the lack of pace and the movement - We will crucify this lad if we expect him to lead the line. But Brew appears to be mesmerised by hin - IMHO I have seen potential in Zander, Wood and Vigurs but I have never seen it in Rory. As I have said before a forward line with Wood, Rooney, Barrowman and possibly Elliott would bring us options and pace. It is easier to throw the loons up front than in midfield or defence. As with any building - get the foundations rite and ya can afford to take a few chances elsewhere.

Feck me - why are we talking about the offence again - We have a few who are young but upcoming - they will play 100% fer 90 minutes and if they have the experience and suppport behind them - they will give other teams a torrid time and score to boot - our midfield looks full of potential and enuff of them - our defence is by far our greatest concern - that is where the BIG money has to be spent.

This is the best feckin thread by a country mile - Our defence is shocking and we need three more defenders - somebody who has experience and leadership and somebody with a bit of pace and knows how to play a ball out of defence without hoofing it. Get Proctor into right back - keep Munro and ditch the rest - It is a bit like Brewsters favoutrites at the back and will he admit the obvious deficiency - like feck he will - and we will all suffer.
