IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

It is not a case of "bashing" - most of it is fair criticism. I suspect that if it wasnt "one of our own" that the comments would not be watered down and there would be cries to look for another manager. I cant believe that anyone can see his comments in the interview as articulate and positive. As I have already emphasised is that my "beef" is in regard to his rationalising or denying mistakes and emotionally trying to place the blame elsewhere. It shows a lack of tact, diplomacy and experience. He has made a lot of tactical mistakes which would happen to any inexperienced manager - but he has repeated them !!

Oh my feckin gawd. I have just had a feckin pint and their were feckin tea leaves in the feckin bottom - and it spelt CC Jan 8th 2007 - is it doom and gloom or the date of a new feckin era. :010: :010: :010:

I think ya just hit the nail with the feckin hammer.

7th feckin heaven :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

May yer god go with you.

Sorry have to disagree - if he goes into the job thinking it is all about preservation then tactically we are fecked. You should always set your sights on at least equalling yer previous attaintments.

And before anyone climbs on the bandwagon this has nothing to do with Charlie Christie. The ICT fans today were pathetic, they just expect too much and it is not so long back that we would have been sitting on our feckin erses worrying about the Rothes v Forres feckin Mechanics results.

My psychic energies are well feckin drained. I cannot believe all the waves of compassion and empathy that are breaking on the beach of my cerebellar cortex.

I am reliably informed that Pressley is having doubts as he has heard rumours that some of the fans may criticise him if he makes mistakes.

Oh what a load of sanctimonious tawts have inherited this once glorious forum - now that sounds as defensive as CC. :015: :015: :015: Why dont we all inherit the small town "hick" thinking!!!

That certainly does not endear him too me. From the early days of his appointment he has had a go at the fans - understandable and fair at times - but he now goes on a self-pity offensive with the love of the club appeal, his personal life, the comparisons with the days of yore and an apparent disbelief that the fans are not simply happy with their lot. Well - sorry - Smell the feckin roses. That was a concoction of sentimental defense mechanisms and the rationalisation and projection processes hide either an underlying self doubt and/or a worrying naievity. CC is a legend and always will be. I will support him and the club to my death bed. But why doesnt he simply admit his mistakes and errors - he is after all beginning his learning at the highest level. Of course he is going to make mistakes. Brewster did put his hands up quite a few times.

Och one more whinge while I am sober. Where exactly is Bazza playing and why all of a sudden do left footers like Hastings and Munro regularly fire long cross field balls at Bazza's head instead of playing balls to the feet of the midfielders or forwards. Then he goes on a play anywhere mode and just seems to feck up his stamina by doing it. And when Bayne is playing that is the main ploy of the left footers. The ball should be going to the feet of Black or Rankin - that is their feckin jobs. The times, and few they feckin were, when Rankin got the ball at his feet he actually played off a telling pass. Sutherland fer Bazza, Duncan fer McBain and Bayne fer Rory were the subs yesterday - go 4-3-3. It was still about not losing in the end. :018:

The "problem" with the Hun game is that it is live on Setanta and that provides a shop window fer some of our players. There is no need for motivation.

Wyness just looke pissed off and I am shure that Dargo related to him. In the first half hour Wyness did make some good runs but was ignored.

Its not moaning ya senile old ****. Its critical feckin feedback.

To emphasise how psychologically scared I am at the moment this is NOT a feckin wind-up - well most of it isnt. :004: As you are all aware I am intuitive and skilled analyser of human behaviours. At East End Park I noticed some concerning points in regard to postures, communications and auras. Sitting at the front of the stand I could quite clearly hear some of the shouts eminating from the park. The positive aura has always surrounded ICT but it is clearly diminishing. There was a distinct lack of paasion - even after the dust-ups. There was no feeling of urgency and there was no "togetherness". We appear to have a defence who are professionally sound but have an automatic "need" to hoof the ball. This led to some chastising from Black and Bazza - but it just served to get more of the same. On the other hand I never heard anything of Rankin nor did I hear any of the others slagging him - but they didnt hold back on Rory and Denzil. The team spirit is being lost - there were too many individuals out there. This will go down well but I have to lay the blame with CC. He has been poor tactically and never was the greatest of communicators/motivators. There are divides in this team and I suspect a degree of favouritism. And what is being said behind the scenes has an effect as well. Just have to get pished. :015: :015:

Beginning to look like a poor mans version of Romanov, Hartley and Gordon. :020: The subbing of Black yesterday was probably the WORST personal, professional and tactical decision that CC has made in charge. Blackie was the only "class" on show yesterday, he was fired up but as controlled as most of the others - fer fecks sake we had two 20 , lyplayer scrambles, Bazza with a potential sending off "stamp", Dods battling, literally, throughout with Hamilton and Crawford. But fer most of it Blackie took revenge with a few skillful touches. If I was him and got hooked with McBain, Rankin and a tiring Wilson toiling beside me I would have been fecki livid. If I had made space in midfield only fer Dods, Tokely and Munro to consistently hoof it over my head I would be feckin frustrated. He had as much chance getting sent off cos of his own feckin players than the insipid Pars.If Black had stayed on we would have pinched it. Charlie over-reacted and should be man enough to admit it. Mind you what was Black wearing a skin tight polo neck feckin leotard under his top. If that is why he was taken off then I can understand it. And as fer Dargo. Shurely no-one who was there yesterday could not have noticed that we were completely DEVOID of any movement and pace up front yesterday. There must be a personality clash between CC and those two which is totally surprising. CC was a footballer and he is pissing off the only two footballers we possess. WHY?

Well I am about to post two of what I would describe as two of my most negative posts ever BUT they are my true non wind-up opinions and emphasise my frustration that our beloved team is at risk of coming apart at the seams. Merry Xmas ya old git. :003:

Thought that was the worst away display that I have ever witnessed. NO passion, NO togetherness, LITTLE passing and NO movement. BROWN :015: :015: :015: Nowt to do really TOKELY :015: :015: :015: Got MOM in the News of the Screws :010: Had an absolute mare of a first half hour. A shadow of last year. DODS :015: :015: :015: :015: The perfect foil fer the experienced Hamilton and Crawford. MUNRO :015: :015: :015: Steady but feckin totally frustrates with his wont to launch everything. HASTINGS :015: :015: :015: :015: Excellent game and took on yon towering Bambi or the actor from the Green Mile. WILSON :015: :015: :015: :015: Needs to stick to the wing where he is more effective BLACK :015: :015: :015: :015: My MOM. The only class player on display. McBAIN :015: :015: :015: Defensive solid but got more bleeds than Dods going forward RANKIN :015: :015: :015: If only he would try and take people on. RORY :015: :015: :015: Good target player and held the ball well. But he is more of a Bayne than a Brewster. DENZIL :015: :015: Made some good runs but never feckin spotted. Rory was too intent on holding on than feeding on.

If the players, pre-match, were thinking along the lines of "the most important game in three years" then basically we are fecked.

Correct Hairy BUT if we win we can enjoy the feckin turkey.

May yer god go with ya wee man. Life is for living. Merry feckin Xmas. :022:

IT JUST HAS TO BE TUBTHUMPING BY CHUMBAWAMBA. :011:

The kilted talisman will be re-appearing. If I stick a twig of mistletoe up ma erse Yngwie's Xmas wish may come true as he kisses the badge of honour. :014:

I hope nobody is mistaken fer me. Youd have to bear yer feckin erses to check. :015: :015: :015: :015:
