IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

So am I ?

What a savage attack on a player by Sophia. If my interpretation is correct she may be suggesting that his groin injury was caused by the fact that all his other veins had collapsed and that was the only place to inject. Still some of us can speak our own minds and others cant. :018: Anyway with ma professional head on : There simply is too much heresay to go one way or another - I wholly doubt that he was a "junkie" or a "druggie" as that indicates habitual long term use to the degree of dependence - he could never have carried that off. It could suggest that he is a "recreational" drug user and taking cocaine out of season could be understood. It could be that he was simply caught out in the atmosphere of a festival and knowing that he would not be tested for some time joined his pals in a line or two. To me it is the latter or the middle and not the last. His crime is being stupid - and of course many of the feckin hypocrits on this thread have never done drugs or got pished or did something out of character - sneaked a spliff, grafitti, streaked ? Leave the poor **** alone. He has been done - he has been fined - he has been suspended - is that not enuff ? He may never recover from this but who cares eh !! Give him community service - give him a chance to redeem himself - give him the chance to be an example to others - in adversity. If he ever pulls an ICT shirt on again - and I hope he feckin does - he will have to deal with his past, the taunts of the away fans and the doubting gazes of many of his own fans. And yet again - in the aftermath of pages of abuse against Rory and Fraser follows Hart - all Highlanders and ICT through and through - and yet some are deemed above reproach. FECKIN SHAME ON YOU ALL - GOOD LUCK RICHIE HART. :clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

My erse. :001: I have actually got a tattoo around my foreskin - I got it done in Wales whilst stopping at a famous railway station and thought it would be the ideal souvenir to have the name etched forever.

Not heard about antbody specififc sniffing but if he carries on playing the way that he is it is only a matter of time. :029:

I am pleased to announce that news of this thread has travelled far and wide and we have a feckin sponsor.

Lets stop slagging people off and use a bit of imagery to help us make those difficult decisions: SCENARIO: YOU ARE COLONEL SANDERS AND YOU ARE PRESENTED WITH FIVE PIECES OF CHICKEN ON A SILVER SALVER - YOU ARE ABLE TO PURCHASE A 2 PIECE MEAL - WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE TO PUT IN THE BOX? CHICKEN NO. 1 - A wily old rooster, still able to crow and strut with the best but not a spring chicken anymore. Osteoporosis is beginning to set in but this turkey can survive Xmas. CHICKEN NO. 2 - A cockerel bred in Eastern Europe of apparent fuller pedigree than number 1 but also not a spring chicken. Capable of a strut but bone structure being questioned. He is getting most of the feed at the moment but isnt producing the eggs. CHICKEN NO. 3 - A local favourite. Some days a rooster, some days an old hen. Type of chicken that can live off the scraps and probably the only chicken in the ryun who knows where the netting is. Will always be top of the pecking order in that respect. CHICKEN nO. 4 - The type of chicken that can run all day for the cause but can appear headless at times. Reliable and rough and ready. CHICKEN NO 5 - The chick of the breed. Trampled in the rush for the feed of late. Needs fattening up but a longer run will help to show if he has the legs for the flight. So WHO would you put in your bucket - And please no fowl language. I will concentrate on the wings next week. :001:

Tell me your source of the contract statement and I will tell you where to find a good optician - or do you classify tortoises as fast ?

It is his movement which needs to be improved. He has to pass and move. Simple as that - as I have been saying since day one - I really do think that he is hampered by previous injury and it is clearly not just down to match fitness. I think that he would be a far better player at home, except against the OF, when we are going forward and attacking - his touches then would reap rewards. I am also worried that in the previous games we were looking to him all the time. On Saturday he was clearly down the pecking order fer taking dead ball situations - he was always passed the ball to his feet with his back to the goals and never given a ball over the top. He lost nearly everything in the air and we look primarily to Munro or Tokely fer corners and throw ins.

I am reliably informed that represenatives of Orion and/or ICT are meeting up with Hagi (and ? Popescu) at some Charity football game in Holland next week - but from what I have heard the negative Niculae effect may influence further deals.

Totally agree. It should all be constructive criticism with evidence to back it up. But it should also be tempered with a degree of positivity.

you would :023: Lets just wait and see

ya can offer my one if ya want. :001:

Where the feck were you when I needed you. :019: :019: :019: Niculae and Brewster are often not on the same wavelength - but Brew can match them fer movement and fitness.

I would be extremely surprsied if we dont start off the Aberdeen game with Brew and Wyness up front.

Disturbingly I also felt that the standard of the cells in Kilmarnock were higher and the Custody Sergeant was far more approachable.

"fairly pished by kick off too" - you were lucky you got in. :023:

Belated birthday wishes as I was in Ayrshire - totally pished - but making friends with stewards. :001:

Why not continue ? Mike Fraser has four feckin pages so why not Niculae ? As usual with this forum it is one rule for one and one rule for another. :001: I really cannot believe some of the posts extolling him. Here is my account from the Smiley report and I gave him THREE - :001: :001: :001: A lot of people around me were having a go at him but I actually thought that he had improved - but he is still only an average albeit good player. His positioning is class, his ball control is class, his passing is class, his touch is more than class. But as the better players pass and move he passes, admires and watches. He makes great space and feeds back to our midfield but he doesnt move forward afterwards. He has no pace and no forward movement. He may well be an asset at home but should not figure from the start away. There was one off the ball move in the first half that took Killie defenders with him and left a hole fer Black. (That was sheer class) There was a supreme flick to Denzil in the second half which wasnt read and if Rosscoe had struck the cross rather than flighting it Marius may have finally got the goal he needs. He is a good signing - he is an above average player in regard to technique - but he is hampered by old injuries and he has suffered from being overhyped. But he will play his part but more as an experienced extra than a Messiah. As fer the subs - I thought Bayne fer Marius was a good move but it made little difference. Bayne needs more matches. Now if only we could clone Bayne and Marius !!

To start with I have to laff at some of the feckin hypocrits who have a "leave it alone-he will read it-you are doing him damage-you are not being fair" response to me and are at the front of the queue giving Mike the savaging. That was mainly when I criticised CC fer not signing an experienced goalkeeper both in January and pre season. I felt that it was too soon to throw MF into the cauldron of the SPL and that it may may lead to permanent damage. And now I am the one supporting him :017:. His kicking and distribution is generally better than Browns ever was. His shot-stopping is close to a par. First here is my match report smiley on Mike. Poor Mikey - a feckin nightmare. Got to say that Rosscoe was sleeping for the first goal, the attempted clearing header from McGuire was terrible, the shot was hit into the ground and Mike finished a Monty Pythonesque shot. He basically crumbled and his nerves were shot at. The second was another mistake from Granty but for the first time this season Mike decided to come off the line. Apart from one excellent shotstopping save and two held crosses in the second half he was dire. He knew it, our players new it, the Killie fans knew and I have never seen the away fans cower so much when the ball headed into our goalmouth. I have said it all season - he stays on his line too much and does not control his area - shurely that is what is coaching should be aiming to remedy. His next game will be the biggest test of his career. Best of Luck son. So - he had a feckin shocker - but he has been playing better lately and apparently improving. He was not helped yesterday by an equally non-confident central defence, a Killie crowd baiting him throughout and apparent "bollickings" from Messrs Duncan and Niculae. McGuire apologised to him after the first goal as did Granty at the second. This club fed this young lad to the lions and they have to stand by him now. He has to play in the next game and he needs all the support he can get. If he gets through the Dons game unscathed he may just have turned a mighty feckin corner in his career. It is undoubtedly the biggest game of his career and I fer one am backing him all the feckin way.

I wear it to the games. It is a bit of a faded Ancient MacKenzie with pish stains.

Nish was the difference fer Killie and Granty always struggles against him - as did Dods last season. And Blackie saw red and almost had a fit of Killie pique.

Aye - the reports are fairly similiar. And I was completely pished - twice as bad as lat week. :001: Was it not Wyness and Niculae that were doing all the slipping ?

Before I even study Mary Hill's feedback here is the Smileymometer. Killie were there fer the taking but in the end a draw was definitely the correct result. To say that we went from the sublime to the ridiculous is probably a fair comment. We played some lovely stuff at times along with some comical schoolboy errors. I honestly think that we went out there with the mind set that we would walk it against a made up X1. The first half was pretty dire apart from one excellent move that ended up with Cowie's blaster being parried by Combe. We picked up in the second half and the substitution of Wilson allowed us to play more through Cowie and we looked decidedly better. It petered out in the last 15 minutes with both sets of players looking fer a winning goal and both sets of fans worrying that it would be through a defensive mistake. FRASER :001: Poor Mikey - a feckin nightmare. Got to say that Rosscoe was sleeping for the first goal, the attempted clearing header from McGuire was terrible, the shot was hit into the ground and Mike finished a Monty Pythonesque shot.

His next game will be the biggest test of his career. Best of Luck son. TOKELY :001: :001: :001: Apart from waking up at 15.01 he was rock solid. He actually suffered two crunching tackles earlier on but got his own back in his own inimitable fashion. Had a right handful with ? Bryson and was not much of an attacking force as usual. McGUIRE :001: :001: :001: Have to say that the jury is still out. Horrendous mistake for the first goal but was solid enuff afterwards. He certainly appears to be the man shouting the line but Granty and him were a bit like Caff and Granty in that they were often practically holding hands and both appear to have a preference for the left hand side. GRANTY :001: :001: A bad day at the office given his standards. He may well ascribe it to a heavy knock that he got in the second minute - he looked as if he was going off at one stage. He certainly wasnt as mobile as usual and was not as quick at coming forward as he usually does. He struggles when he marks big target men like Nish. ROYSTER :001: :001: :001: Made the third smiley fer his second half performance, especially when he went into midfield. Dissapointed after what I have seen of him at left back but had much more of a defensive role and did not look so comfortable. COWIE :001: :001: :001: :001: Made the fourth smiley fer the superb free kick. Apart from that he was far more subdued than usual but the tactic throughout the first half was to hit Bazza as often a possible. This relegated Don from feeding on scraps in a relatively wide right position. We looke far more dangerous down the right with the Tokely-Cowie combination but Brew went for the old school tactic. It was noticeable how much more Don got involved when Bazza went off. DUNCAN :001: :001: :001: :001: My MAN OF THE MATCH. Mr feckin reliable showed some great touches today and appears to be learning that the easy ball is the better ball. Was always there when an attack broke down or they flew forward. His understanding with Black is becoming a real plus. BLACK :001: :001: :001: I suggest that Killie had targetted him as he was the player who they were most intent on closing down quickly. Some great control skills, flicks and passes. He raerly gets the chance fer a killer pass becos of our choice of forwards. He lost the rag at one stage today, as he always seems to do at Killie, and was very lucky not to get booked. Still he is learning to control his temper and used the adrenaline to put in some fair hard tackels. BAZZA :001: :001: Suggest it may be time to give somebody else a run. He was evidently the intended play amke today and played wide left - as Brew always favoured. Had a couple of great runs to hit the bye line but if anything he slows things down - especially on the left. Better teams will know not to let him cut inside and that he does not have the pace. WYNESS :001: :001: Appeared to relish the fight initially but practically disappeared as the game went on. We paly far too deep away from home and Dennis is a predator not a Dargo. It looked like we were playing him on their last man but he rarely got the service and he doesnt have the pace either. NICULAE :001: :001: :001: Left him till last and I will put all my points on here !! A lot of people around me were having a go at him but I actually thought that he had improved - but he is still only an average albeit good player. His positioning is class, his ball control is class, his passing is class, his touch is more than class. But as the better players pass and move he passes, admires and watches. He makes great space and feeds back to our midfield but he doesnt move forward afterwards. He has no pace and no forward movement.

But he will play his part but more as an experienced extra than a Messiah. As fer the subs - I thought Bayne fer Marius was a good move but it made little difference. Bayne needs more matches. Now if only we could clone Bayne and Marius !! ; Hastings actually made the left more solid or was that McBain going forward - too little time to say ; all I can say about Deano is that he literally looks like a kid in an adult team. He never gets enuff time to let me make a real comment. Although he had one excellent cahnce to make a name fer himself and completely botched it with a terrible attempt at control. The Steward were feckin brilliant and even helped me put up the flag. :rotflmao:

Why ? Becos I spelt stewards wrong ? :001:

THE G SPOT: (from Wikepedia) The Gr?fenberg spot, or G-spot, is a small area in the Caledonian Thistle Stadium in the North Stand, surrounding the Longman and accessible through the anterior wall of the Moray Firth. It is putatively an erogenous zone that when stimulated leads to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms.[1] There is a great deal of dispute about the reality of the G-spot in the scientific community. Most of the strong support for the claim comes from books aimed at a popular audience.[2] The term "G-spot" was coined by MacKenzie et al. in 2007.[3] It is named after the Highland gynaecologists Ben Doon and Phil McCracken who are claimed to have first hypothesized the existence of such an area in 1950. The G-spot didn't enter public consciousness until last year with the publication of the book ?The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Shortly after the publication of this book by Charles Bannerman many professional gynaecologists publicly criticized its scholarship and accuracy - but that usually happens with most Bannerman publications.[4]
