IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

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.

Och here is a serious summary of Marius the Mercenary. He was initially brought to the Highlands as a PR exercise by the Orion Group - against the wishes of CC - who you will all recall was on his last legs as Brew was well waiting in the background to grab his job. Marius was absolutely feckin rubbish at the beginning cos he was thrown in when he was clearly unfit - I still feel that he is carrying a long term injury and he apparently always has been a lazy *******. He may have improved at home but some of his away performances were dire to say the least. Some may say that he only really came to when the Romanian scouts started to tsake a bit of interest - and I have to admit that he looked a classy player but with no pace and little movement. How he actually made the Euros feckin beats me put fair play - he got where he had set out to be at the beginning of the season - and it says a lot for the others that he performed adequately on the bigger stage. Good luck to Marius - a bit like Robbo to Hearts and Brew to the Arabs - he is going home due to a spell at ICT. I didnt think that he would make it in one of the bigger European leagues but I am sure he may survive in Bucharest. Lets just hope that he doesnt flop and feckin comes back. A Legend - give me a feckin break. Gave us a few classy moments but a lot of feckin bad performances too.

Wanderer - You forgot the phase where you can irritate a lot of peeple with well placed smileys. :023:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Well Mr Beastie - as I am the all knowdledged one - I would say that your third paragraph is spot feckin on. I reckon most of us would have wished for Brewster to have been blown away before the end of last season. I would also concede that I agree with most of Caley D's post as well. Brewster had evidently lost the dressiing room last season and his arrogance borders on the ridiculous at times. He personalises things and allows his paranoia to filter into his management which is wrong. He made some glaring tactical errors last season - especially in the last 6-8 games. I loved him as a player and as a coach from a fitness level but not a tactician or a manager. But as Mannie said he is at the helm and hopefully will put us in a good position before he inevitably gets the chop. I am just waiting for Sheare to move up to Number 2 and then the hypocrisy of the old school ties will be clear to all.

But it isnt just about the wages though is it - I bet Brewe's reputation as a feckin half wit puts a few off as well.

a " prevailing challenging economic climate" simply means that the euro is at its highest standing for years - Perhaps we should tell peeple that the mercenary is on sale for 1,000,000 Euros and hope that they dont check the surrent markets. I could suggest that we dont waste money on sending peeple to watch feckin games at Lincoln and Wrexham.
