OK, the majority of fans posting here are feeling pretty negative about the club, manager, etc just now but let's really get behind Caley Thistle on Saturday. I was at Rugby Park on Saturday and was as disappointed with the result and perfomance as the rest of the fans there. I was going to give up on coming up to the Dons game but after a weekend of reflection and reading all the posts here I'm determined to try and come up for the game to support the team whatever comes out of it. Even if we lose I will never boo the team or manager. This is a vital game for our team so let's get behind them at 3 o'clock on Saturday. You never know, we might actually beat the Dons ! :011:

What exactly is Brew's short term (never mind medium or long term) thinking behind these ICT stalwarts leaving the club ? We seem to be losing players who have proven themselves but then who is coming along to replace them ? We need some answers. :024:

You know, I think we just might beat The Dons and put our recent dire performances behind us. A first win over them couldn't come at a better time. :024: COME ON THE CALEY JAGS !

He's got to be on something the way he's been managing ICT lately. :icon_ganja:

I was one of the other unfortunates who were there yesterday. Apart from the first 20 minutes we were like Jimmy Johnstone in a rowing boat with no oars off Largs - all at sea. :007:

Well, Pele's ideas for fitness coaching may not exactly accord with the Brewster regime's gym, kick boxing and pasta. :tic01:

Jim Duffy would be a good choice. There should be a place in any new set-up for Pele Paterson - scout perhaps ? :023:

Brew's definitely lost the players on the basis of this afternoon's debacle. Don't forget this is basically the same group of players who beat Hearts 3-2 at Tynecastle in December with a tremendous fighting performance. Something very far wrong in the state of the Caley Jags, very far wrong.

Well, that was a wasted afternoon. We made a bright start and looked not bad. Surely we should have expected Killie to come out in the second half with all guns blazing after Jeffries would have given them a paint off the dressing room wall talking to. Our answer to going 4-1 down ? Long high balls into the Killie box in the vain hope of scoring. Wishful thinking I think. Even Killie fans I spoke to after the match couldn't believe the contrast in Caley Thistle's performance between the first and second half. Neither could I needless to say. :008: :008: :008: :008: :008: :020: :020: :020: :020: :020:

Why on earth isn't Brew giving these reserve team boys a run-out on a Saturday ? :024: :symbol_question:

Too right there. Kenny Clark is one of the worst refs in the Scottish game. This afternoon's performance was a prime example of how little non-Old Firm teams can expect from refs. Shocking.

Aye, it's about time the club got a grip on this kind of unruly and totally selfish behaviour, but I wouldn't hold out any hopes. As has been said here ICT are a bit of a soft touch. More than a bit really. :33:

Yes, definitely right there. We've missed these three greatly and how it shows. :008: :008: :008: :008:

Oh dear. Glad I didn't come up to Sneck for this one. :029:

Aye, good for Barnsley. That's the kind of result you like to see, especially against these Chelsea prima donnas. :021: :021: :021: :021: :021: :021: :021:

Aye, Darren Dods was a big loss to ICT and certainly hasn't been replaced in the centre of our defence.

Good shout. Pele certainly spotted some good players and seemed to have good connections who knew of players with potential.

There is little doubt that selling Rankin was a huge managerial error on Brew's part. Barry Wilson - ditto. :029:

Yup, undoubtedly the best player on the field yesterday. There was danger every time he got hold of the ball. :007:

Aye, too right - a 393 mile round trip for yesterday's performance. Any chance of a mileage claim ICT ? !! :008:

Aye, it better not be called off. I've been looking forward to this match for a while, plus I've got a good seat in the North Stand ! :018:

Hard working wee guy who gives Caley Thistle 100%. Put in a good shift yesterday. Hope he stays with us for a long time to come. :022:

Second game in succession where we've been caught cold just after the kick-off. To give the team their due it really was a game of two halves - Hibs were better in the first half on the whole but in the second half we really gave them a game. One thing that struck me both today and to a certain extent on Wednesday was how poor our balls into the box from open play, corners and free kicks were - the wind today can't have helped and it's all too easy to criticise when you're sitting on you btm in the stand but this is one aspect of our game that must be sharpened up if we're to score, particularly from set pieces. This was actually a good game of entertaining football. Heard on the radio that Marius was BBC Scotland's Man of the Match. No argument at all with that - he and Ian Black really put themselves about this afternoon.

John Rankin to Hibs, Barry Wilson to St Johnstone - what next ? Some decidedly odd decisions at The Dump. :024:
