IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Mr Riley - as predicted in rumours by my good self - first on the ball again.

The ship is sinking and the Captain is in moderation. :crazy07:

Enter Duncan Shearer. :029: Donald was under pressure ever since CC left - He only stayed on becos of loyalty - to ICT - like CC - and hey presto !! Yet another sacrificial scapegoat. :018: Its' just another feckin addition to a feckin calamitous season - Something is wrong at ICT and who is to blame?

Niculae was MOTM - Praise be to the Lord - what would he get if he scored or assisted as he has done three times already this season - assisted I mean. Still once he gets fit and gets accustomed to the Scottish style. :012:

And that was the most tedious post of the lot - Just cos you dont agree doesnt mean it isnt right. :33:

Oh fer fecks sake - football clubs are full of all sorts - the grumpy old sweetie rustlers; the righteous than thou do gooders; the average man on the street; the loud mouths and the intoverted clappers and the yoof who are full of motivation and overindugence - etc., etc., But at the end of the day we are all comrades in arms united by our love of ICT - The reason that we are at odds with each other is that we are a club going badly astray and we all have our theories - but will we kep on going - course we feckin will. And I say it all in Moderation. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Cloak,Cloak. :011:

Aye Brut and Henry Cooper splashed it all over in the 70's - but do I not recall that is also when Avon hit the market - I can always remember the burd at the door asking fer may Dad. :023:

My first car was from the one at the top of the Raining Stairs - I took the wrong turning and it was a **** of a feckin trial drive down to Castle Street - and how many houses, drives and gardens were "garages" in those days !!!

The thread was only kept going becos of punters like you - I was proving a point. :029: I only repeat myself becos, up until recently, people defended him to the hilt - they (you) are being more honest now - I think that we actually agree except he is too much of a luxury and not fit enuff to play in the hole - on the last defender or bye bye - think you may find that it was the same at Lisbon and at Mainz - history is repeating itself - we are better than he thought.

Especially on this site - it would look like cloaking to me. :001:

poodle

such potent

Can I just make it clear at this juncture that I am not posting as mandally6 and he is not related to me either - but he is yet another breed of fan that is beginning to have the feckin guts to have a go at the inconsistencies of this fine football club. We hate Fraser - We hate Rory - We love Deano - We love Marius :crazy07:

Spot feckin on ya Jeggie ******* - Think I agree with Caley D as well but I hardly ever read his posts these days as they are so elongated :001:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: I can asure you that it aint just you birdog - I am away ahead of you. Of course I post nonsense and wind up at times - Some people actually find it entertaining. :001: Most people with a bit of nous suss out which is bait and which is debate - Others just sit on the fence and have little petty sarcastic pops back at me. This has been a fine day on the site - I am thoroughly enjoying my cloaking. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

A great day and the biggest robbery I can recall. Darran Thomson scored the goal as well, how much worse could it get for the Buddies than that? :015: And some support as well - Browns save as well :001: And congrats to Huisdean - yet another who has a bit of "guts" - Where is the real problem ?

It is not up to us to decide what he is getting paid but it is our right to comment if we think that he is not coming up to expectations - which he ISNT. He was overhyped as a potential international striker - he has struggled to get into the starting X1 !! I have always agreed that he is far from being the main problem but HE is ONE of the them and higher up than most. I note that you can criticise some of the others (correctly) but not Niculae - that is what has got on my goat. Is he more sensitive than Rory, Mikey, Duncan, Barry ??? At least M4TJ gave both sides of the coin which I do as well. And what is your real view on how he has been played - Deeper or on the last man ? I think a major problem is where we are playing him.

Wow- this is the best days' posting in a long time - I actually agree with BOTH sides of the recent debate. This isnt about Rory and Mikey - There is an undercurrent of discontent at ICT this season. These poor lads are being scapegoated - Birdog is not championing the booing - he is looking at the larger picture which some posters fer whatever reason are ignoring or defending. What did you think about my original post Caley D / Charlie ?

Feck me - another sensible post - thats two in a feckin hour. :023:

:clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: Someone with sense and "guts" at last. Totally agree.

Wow - a post with a rationale. :crazy07: Agree with most of it as well - But Marius would be a real "luxury" in central midfield - how would we cope defensively ? Does he really have the stamina and movement to play there - he may forage back but he really needs his rest time which he wouldnt get in the middle. Why oh why dont we persist in playing him as an out and out centre forward - playing on the last defender. His class always stands out - but we are playing to his supposed strengths not to the potential strengths of the team.

:rotflmao: I just couldnt respond and ridicule Caley. So where was the Messiah played today and how were he and Wyness used tactically. He sounds as if his general fitness is improving - what about the pace and movement ? he was our best player today - Marius was awesome today - Very wasteful and greedy up front - didn't look like a goal scoring threat. THEY DONT MATCH UP DO THEY ? had some nice touches and worked well with Wyness. He held the ball up and distributed it better than some others in the team. - had some classy touches and first touch passes - has never been in doubt. A useful player - I still can't quite see him becoming a prolific goalscorer - his tendency to drift back there to pick up the ball anyway. - absolutely spot feckin on - so are we paying mega spondoolachs for a useful, experienced, skilful midfielder ? I thought we were talking about a prolific striker who is trying to reclaim his international spot !! Just imagine for a second if it was Rory McAllister ? :004:

Lets put a wee slant on this - although the booing is indefensable. We are talking about two young footballers who have been well and truly thrown into the deep end by this club. IMHO they should have been more protected and allowed to progress through the reserves, on loan or on the bench. They have been played becos of financial reasons and possibly the fact that we cant attract experience in the "windows" or we astonishingly decide to stick with what we have got. Rory is on a hiding to nothing now - his confidence must be shot - we have to allow him to go on loan and give him a deserved breather and hopefully a confidence booster. Mikey is in a far greater dilemna - he is clearly considered as our Number 1 and it is too late to go through the slow development curve. I was at Killie where he had an absolute shocker (and was'nt booed but would have bowed his head if he was) but he then amazes me with his display at Ibrox. I suspect that his confidence is also on a knife's edge. He will simply have to battle through it or do we go fer Zibi - one game in and one game out simply does not work - it is clearly reactive stuff and poor management - if i doubt get somebody else. As I have said on other threads it infuriates me that these two local youngsters appear to be scapegoated whilst the likes of Niculae, Hastings and even Rosscoe are relatively supported and even extolled.

I've got a new name for him - Craig Dunain. :001:

OK - it was sarcasm - I only thank Gretna that he isnt carrying us into 2008 without a coffin draped in a Romanian flag. Bring on the Window and some guts frombehind the scene. :clapping03:
