IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Give me a break - even I couldnt have thought that one up - but it would pay to correct the Aquifer problem.

It is OK - I speak fluent Romanian. Cant get better than 100% - I have to admit I never realised they had so few forwards to choose from. :023:

Here I might be an wearing a blindfold but object to be called an eejit :rotflmao: I wasnt referring to you - ya eejit. :rotflmao: Good post Don :clapping03: plus They were determined to play the system around you instead of vice versa.

Perhaps I am talking utter garbage as the eejits with the Romanian blindfolds on dont seem to be commenting on this thread. :rotflmao:

And yet you've spent the season mocking the prospect of him getting capped? You never quite get it rite do ya. :029: I have always alluded to the Euros.

What utter garbage. IHE would consider ymip's post to be garbage, because it doesn't agree with his own blinkered opinion. However, I believe there is more than a grain of truth in what ymip says. Niculae has been unfairly blamed for breaking the precious 'wage structure' at ICT. In fact this was broken long before Niculae, and rightly so in my opinion, for Wyness when he came back from Hearts on loan. The only difference was that Hearts were paying a goodly percentage of his wages and not Orion (as in Niculae's case). Fixed wage structures are probably OK as teams progress through the lower leagues, but I cannot see how they can possibly work at SPL level where it is essential to improve the quality of the playing staff. Good players don't come cheap. I admire ICT's board for showing some balls and bringing in Niculae, who clearly is a quality player. To judge him purely on the number of goals he has scored is a little unfair when for much of the time he has been played as a loan striker. Nevertheless, 9 goals is still alot more than his predecessor, Dargo, has scored for St Mirren this season! Apart from goals Niculae has number of 'assists' to his credit and I also remember about 3 or 4 penalties he won in our good spell before Xmas. It seems to me that after a slow start, when he was clearly unfit, Niculae is now fitting very well into ICT , and I for one hope he is still with us next season despite the changes in the boardroom. If there is unrest in the team because of Niculae's wages (and I'm not convinced this is the problem), then imo these colleagues should take a long hard look at themselves, and wait until they are proven internationalists before feeling hard done by. To suggest that Niculae is over the hill and living on past glories it is clearly nonsense. Romania obviously don't think so, but what do they know? They're only in the European Nations Cup this summer. What utter garbage.

She felt a bit of a knob in the end

Becos the next chairman will be a "puppet".

Not this season. Wind ups have been the old ones and a few to irritate specific individuals. The disarray has led to me being more serious - Cant wait fer the season to finish.

I prefer to show off ma tattoo

Pass the butter.

I can appreciate that, at times like these, that some indivduals will be irked that the large majority of what I have said THIS season has come true - If I have resorted to wind ups this year it has been a repeat of previous wind ups. :018: Obvious to any eejit like ymip and wyness is gawd. :33: I hit the screens with the CC resignation, the Brew fiasco - becos this year has been the worst in our history and I can assure you that it is not over yet - but I will follow on. The wind ups amuse me as many individuals still "bite" about the aquifer or JJB or Richard Gough. :rotflmao: But I may yet have to relent to the Paul Lambert wind up. :023:

I have no contacts amongst the higher echelons at TCS and I post a heap of sh1t most of the time but even I can come up with the odd speculative post which comes to fruition. I just don't trawl through all my old posts, pick out the good guesses and pass them off as insider info :023: You just stick to the odd speculative post success - I will adhere to my 70-80 % success rate.

What utter garbage.

It has been simmering all season dude. :011:

IHE, Surely a man with your insight to the inner politics of ICT would know that Robbo has no chance of joining the club in any capacity as long as David Sutherland has the majority control. Or is it just another wind up that we must decipher :017: Yes I know where you are coming from but the potential deal, in view of Savage's departure, is rumoured to be that Orion still wish to exert an influence on the club - I am told that this could result in a reduced but sponsorship continued deal to maintain Niculae and a continued influence on the management of the club - Robbo could well be that influence and he has practically been given a position prior to this week - but DS would not give him the managers post so moves him into the Director of Football role - one which Grasser and CC do not wish to be involved in but both wish to stay at the club - It is a bit of boardroom politics and behind the scenes collusion / bartering.

Quelquefois je ne peux pas croire comment inintelligent vous pouvez ?tre - je suis la voix des gens mais je dois d?guiser ma connaissance int?rieure par moments pour prot?ger mes sources - Se r?veillent et sentent du caf

OK - if ya want wanton violence you can have it. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Unfortunately I am not in a position to influence the politics at the club but I am in a position to keep the fans informed of what is really going on behind the scenes - and in my own little way I become a spokesperson for certain individuals who could never be seen to say the things that I do.

Apparently there was a lot of astrological disturbance in the Orion system in the last few days and the archer was clearly preparing to shoot somebody and/or something into the Black Hole - Apparently the parting words to Mr Savage were : Get Uranus out of here - :rotflmao: :rotflmao: What a feckin happy day.

Something is wrong ? ? on:August 11, 2007, 08:57? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laff if ya may but my job is a lot to do with observation and intuition. That was not a together ICT out there today. There is a lot of bitching going on and pointing of the fingers. The team spirit and "all fer one" ethos that has served us well fer years, and helped us survived, is sadly missing. We lost our shape today and the game because it appeared that some players decided to do their own thing - or was it tactical - which would be even worse.

From what I hear he is a very personable character but there are behind the scene splits about his wage and his standard of performance - and the fairness in rregrad to that _ I was referring more to the divide support - and even I am changing - he has to play as an out and out forward - on the last man - in an area where he can score, use his class and forget the days of yore when he COULD track back and get back in a position to finish it. He has to accept his flaws. He has to be an ICT example to the fans - and then he could have another 3-4 SPL seasons in him and COULD become a legend.

Spot on - but not exactly ONE individual - more of a spokesperson wiv a very strong LOCAL backing. :001: Good times are coming back.

Hot off my e-mails: It wont be David Sutherland but it will be Tulloch influenced - It may be Geordie - he is the fave - but it could be another Tulloch ICT faithful. :024: Robbo looks as if he is heading fer the Director of football job. There will be a proper manager recruitment and Selection process as Brew and Malky follow Savage - and may even include one of my previous wind ups - if the money is fortcoming. Smith will be offski - Grasser may move in to that position - if he beats me at the interview. :001: Niculae is out of his wag structure unless he does the rightful thing and joins the club properly. There will be a lot more surprises before the end of the season ?

The sign of true intelligence is deciphering what is wind up and what is inside knowledge - I cannot believe the level of peeple who are now informing me and using me as a spokesperson - that is why I mix it. :004:
