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:

Totally agree with you roscoe23. This is a tragedy for this young boy and his family- what they must be going through just now. Not a time for flippant comments.

There can be little doubt that there is no real deterrent these days to committing acts of mindless violence, often for the most trivial and meaningless reasons. If anyone showed me "lack of respect" when I was younger I just shrugged my shoulders and moved on. Wouldn't have dreamt of being violent for such an unimportant reason. You just drew your own conclusions about the person. Aye, the Americans have the right idea - life should mean life. End of story.

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:

It stood where the new Eastgate square is now, or a big part of it did. The Playhouse burnt down in 1972 or 1973.

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.

That pet shop - I forgot all about it. I used to get sent there to buy cat food. McAvoys was the posh furniture shop next door to the Playhouse. Used to have a full-size figure of a kilted redcoat soldier standing at the door - didn't that end up in the Museum ? :024:

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:

Robert Cray - Night Patrol from Live at the BBC

I was up in Sneck for the Hearts match two weeks ago and what struck me was how dead and lifeless Queensgate, Academy Street, Union Street and Church Street were. I may be looking back with rose tinted specs but in the 1960s and 1970s there always seemed to be some bustle and vibrancy in these streets - busy shops and businesses with plenty of people about. I'm well aware of how much shopping activity is now concentrated in the Eastgate Centre but that seems such a soulless and characterless shopping factory. Although there are always plenty of people in it they all seem as if they're shopping and spending cash as some kind of chore. I look back at old Sneck with a great deal of affection but these days a vsit to the old town centre is an altogether depressing experience. A visit to the Eastgate Centre equally so. :009:

I remember that night so well. We were watching Tonight at home and Gerald Priestland came on from Washington to say Kennedy had been shot in Dallas. Remember too the That Was The Week That Was programme on Kennedy. I think that was on Saturday night quite late but I was allowed to stay up to watch it.

Over the years there have been quite a few different premises in the centre of The Sneck which have been banks. Does anyone remember them ? Just for a kick-off - the British Linen Bank on High Street which became the Bank of Scotland, the Clydesdale in Eastgate which became a Burger King and is now a bank again as the Lloyds TSB, the Clydesdale in Queensgate which became Haydens and the Bank of Scotland on the corner of Union Street/Church Street which was a computer shop and isn't it now a restaurant ? Did anyone here work in any of them ? Wasn't The Bankers an amateur football team and played in the Bught ? Is it still on the go ? Is my memory playing tricks ? Probably. :024:

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.
