IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

This really should be a thread that we are populating - after all TB should now have a fully fit squad and we should see our strongest X1 in the next few games. I have to admit though that Tel has txted me and I have proffered some advice. The team that TEL suggest is as follows - the ones in bold are my suggested changes: ESSON TOKELY PAVELS GRANTY HASTINGS (Royster) PROCTOR DUNCAN (Kerr) BLACK FORAN (Imrie) MORAIS IMRIE (Foran)

How on earth do we really know that he is prone to more than others??? This guy has only really played since TB?? How do you work this out? Do you average it out from games, get a percentage or what?? There is such a thing as "history" - he has played before - DOH - typical feckin woman. Have to 100% agree with the last sentence though.

0/4 - That is just like a Lionel - hasnt got a feckin clue, makes a fool of himself but can be feckin entertaining.

Ah now I see what you are getting at, I can also see that your posting style is required on this board. Whilst those of us who would prefer that you posted direct and to the point posts, it is probably better to confuse us with posts like these than create conflict between yourself and those who like to bury their heads by skirting around the true issues and leading them to the (normally)obvious facts. A bit like teaching toddlers to speak using baby language. My style is definitely unique - my posts (sometimes with the rare hidden meaning) are always honest, direct, formulated and with a clear rationale. It would appear that you are beginning to ail as some of the rest in that you may find it difficult to take that I am almost always proved completely right in the end. My style is enabling babies to walk using their intellect rather than using walking aids and/or being able to smile, get up and perservere if they fall over.

I am staying in Livngston - what train / bus can I catch ?

I suspect that Tel Boy and Miss Pass will be taking it one game at a time and as TB alluded to before - each game should be prepared for and played as a Cup Final. Given the games left we should have enough in our tanks to scrape through.

Ok - my aplogies to Lionel - he has had a few decent games, he has improved, he has surprised some (even me!!),he will undoubtedly improve further, he has heart, he has spirit, he is fit, he is entertaining, he is a crowd pleaser, he has a bit of pace, not bad in the air and he throws himself at anything in the box (unfortunately including opposition players) - but he is still to ICT what Todd Carty was to Dancing On Ice - and in retrospect and from a psychological perspective I can understand why some of my detracting stalkers can get angry and frustrated with me - my apologies - I just cant help always being right in the long run. I note that nobody has answered the questions honestly - that is because the answers are only too evident.

You could name any of our alleged strikers who couldn't put the ball in the net.... It's supposed to be a team game. At worst Djebi-zadi gave away a penalty yesterday... There is no way he should have been sent off... It's a crazy feckin rule that anyway and it's ruined many a game over the years... Awarding a penalty should be sufficient punishment for conceeding a foul in the box... You scored 1 out of 4.

I just don't understand you. You still haven't answered my previous question - which players are consistent and a 100% reliable??? You're right to inply that no player is 100% reliable. We've seen that many times this season alone. However what you need to understand is that once IHE has a 'down' on a player, there is no changing him, no matter how well that player does. We've seen it before with Marius. Fortunately, not all ICT supporters are so blinkered. Keep the faith! I ended up loving Marius - and I said many, many complimentary things about him. I suppose that my problem is that I have a sharp tactical brain and I am not shy to voice criticism when it is required. I am the one who doesnt look at things through rose tinted specs. I actually answered the question befor you did but again that is probably down to speed of thought. I am keeping the faith and protecting the faith. Have you actually ever seen Lionel play ?

You like to dish it out but for one so brash you seem a little over-sensitive to any criticism that comes back at you in IMHO. IHE A few hours earlier... IHE Keep taking the pills Sorry but I am merely stating the obvious. As fer ma quotes - I never wrote him off - I have said a lot of complimentary things about him - His problem is playing him in a position where he can do damage.

By that reasoning should you not be "overthebridge"? Or perhaps Lionel should be ? I just don't understand you. You still haven't answered my previous question - which players are consistent and a 100% reliable??? I cant think of one in the world actually. I suspect that is the right answer ? Here are a few fer you - 1) which player ultimately cost ICT a place in a Hampden semi final ? 2) Name the player whose ineptitude cost the club at least ?250,000.00 ? 3) Name the player who has only just encouraged a section of the support to take him seriously ? 4) Name the player that many fans hold their breaths when he gets on the ball ? One answer fer 1,2,3 - multi choice in 4. :thumb04:

I reckon that at least a 1000 stayed away as they feared Lionel would start and the expected would happen.

Get the moth balls out of yer feckin kilts - The Jacobites are on the feckin march.

I would have simply have said that it was another case of poor communication from the club - There shouldnt be chinese whispers. And dont worry peeple on here often stick their heads in the sands - just look at how often certain posters argue against my undoubtable knowledge and inside knowledge - and end up with egg on their faces.

Yes - I can appreciate that logic BUT it could also be that if he stays at ICT he is practically sure to start every week, he could be the main man with a team being built around him. In that scenario he could build up his reputation and get bigger fish chasinc him. He could just blend into the background elsewhere. Difficult but there are two main different outcome scenarios - I reckon Black went becos he was going absolutely nowhere under Brewster. I reckon that he would only stay if he knew Butcher was staying as well - so this may be a good time story all round - But we have to survive in the SPL fer the tale to come true.

He gives his all and has more postive attributes than negative, as long as he is eager to learn he could become an excellent player for us. It was a ludicrous challenge today though and will probably give Tel a decision to play him for the next game or not I can't remember them having a shot on goal after we had a man sent off.. gutted because I live beside hampden so would have been an easy journey but it was obviously going to happen IMO Was that a restrained reply or do you agree with me Hairy ? I agree with you except he is NOT a full back - he is NOT a defender - he is not a SPL player. That Tel decision - if he dares to make it - could cost us dear - perhaps as usual I am the one opening ma gob but many agree with me. I really think that we ould have gone even further than one visit to Hampden - and I was so looking forward to staying wiv ya. What a load of tosh. Our back of Tokely Pavel Munro Lionel is as solid as any we've ever had in the SPL. Only a zealot would call for Lionel never to start a game for the club ever again after he gives away 1 penalty. You blatantly hated to see him succeed and now take delight in seeing him slip up. Real ICT fans are delighted with how the big man has performed for the team since he was given a chance. You're right about alot of things but the way you constantly write off Lionel no matter how well he's actually performing is pretty poor form on your part. He doesn't deserve it at all. You are probably the biggest ******** on this site - Read my comments about Lionel at Ibrox - We have a great back three who cover for Lionel. Read my posts - I have read yours and you have got it all wrong - I have got it all right - I never wrote Lionel off - HE IS NOT A FULL BACK - HE IS NOT A DEFENDER - HE IS A LIABILITY AT THE BACK. I was "entertained" by him at Ibrox - but being a nice guy and having heart is NOT going to keep us up. As I said before - if we were safe - he would be bearable entertainment - put him back in and he could really cost us - more than he has already - get off yer high horse and admit it ya tatw.

Oh - fer fecks sake - he is a nice guy but he is not SPL standard - he will never make the grade - if we go fer the nice guy routine - we may hit the SPL. He is / was an accident waiting to happen. We are now in a situstion where we cannot take risks.

Good idea about the buses - It would give the muppets another chance to save face.

No success - no failure - just survival - against the odds.

Well we blew a big chance today but at least now we have to focus on survival. The next two games are now as big as we have ever had in our history. I'll be there - will you ? This is a case of all on board the HMS Sneck and all hands to the pumps - I BELIEVE.

Predictable utter bollox. Well I suppose it takes a real man to tell somebody that he was rite all along. Predictable yes and Utter Bollocks - yes. Were ya refering to Zebidee ? Mark my word - he could come back and haunt us.
