Pathetic :029:

Iain Vigurs :022:

Appointed manager of Crystal Palace today

Not exactly the way we want the club to be making the headlines now is it :029: It'll be interesting to see what ICT do about RH. If this was a first team regular I imagine a harsh reprimand, final warning and fine would be meted out but I suspect he may well be kicked out as he is very much a fringe player these days. At best he can expect a hefty fine, and either being allowed to leave in January or not have his contract renewed at the end of the season

From BBC Website..... In a statement, the SPL club said the player has been suspended from training and playing until further notice. It went on: "When the matter was originally brought to our attention, the club interviewed the player and given his responses agreed to leave the matter until the allegations were addressed in court. "The club would like to reassure the club's commercial partners, supporters and the public that the club adopts a very firm stance in relation to the use and/or possession of drugs." FULL STORY

I almost feel sorry for Gretna. Almost!! :023: Celtic were rotten and yet they have all 3 points. Still probably a good result for us

I'm blaming you for tempting fate here... :015: :004: Aye sorry about that :029: Munro can't handle Nish just like Dods can't cope with Scott MacDonald

Zibi made a couple of mistakes in the 2nd half against Gretna that we were lucky to get away with. They migjht not have been easy to see if you were in the North stand though. He did look rather accomplished in the first half. I'd be disappointed if Brewster dropped Fraser over 1 bad performance as he seems determined to pick some players over others reagradless of form

Hastings & Rankin should be starting ahead of McBain & Wilson. Brewster is showing tremendous loyalty but the left hand side is a real Achilles heel :029:

I believe Fraser made an excellent save in the 1st half that Brewster was raving about after the match. When keepers make mistakes it tends to be costly. Fraser shouldn't be dropped. Zibi is a very poor goalkeeper. I shudder to think of him being our first choice :018:

I was hoping Nish was 1 of the players who was out - he always seems to score against us :029:

BBC is also now saying all ties are on Oct 31st 7.45pm

I think the goals we conceded were - for goal 1) bad luck for goal 2) tremendous kick 1) Stupid free kick conceded and then Milne given a free run on goal 2) Woeful attempts to clear the ball by the defence and then a very well taken strike No harm done as the team responded well and quickly regained the advantage

I can't believe it's the same player I saw turning out for County last season. I saw him play 4 or 5 times and he was average at best. He really must have been going through the motions for them till he got his 'big' move although I believe he was carrying an injury for quite as while as well Contender for player of the year already :022:

A very good team performance today :021: The goals we conceded were due to sloppy defending but in the end that didn't matter I don't think anyone had a bad game but there were some immense individual displays with Cowie & Duncan the pick of the bunch :clapping03: Killie are struggling so there couldn't be a better time to be playing them Here's hoping for 4 in a row :003:

Says on the BBC website now it's on the Tuesday.... Ties at Pittodrie, Tannadice and Fir Park to be played on 30 October. Celtic v Hearts on 31 October

I think both sides made 6 changes from their previous starting line up's. I'm not sure if we should get too carried away with the result. I would expect there would have been more of a contest if that was a league game

It must have just been where I was sitting then. The noise from the Gretna fans was rather distracting :tic01:

It looked like a home fan was ejected/arrested tonight as well from the North stand. I'm sure someone 'closer to the action' will elaborate

Well tonight was a game of 3 thirds!! Good stuff from us for the first and last 30 minutes but the middle part was rather poor. We could have and probably should have been 2 or 3 up in the first 20 minutes with Brew missing a couple of decent chances. Not quite sure what happened after that but we started losing the midfield battle towards the end of the half and we were struggling for the first part of the second half as well. No real stand out performances for us tonight. Duncan & Caff probably were the pick of the bunch for me. Cowie started in the middle and wasn't nearly as effective as on Saturday. Brewster shouldn't have come back out for the second half he seemed to hurt his shoulder and was pretty much a passenger from then on in. Morgan I felt was very poor and the keeper had a few fumbles despite having a relatively quiet night. Nice to see Deano get a wee run out there were a couple of flashes of skill but there's no way of telling when he gets so little time. Nice cameo from Rankin for the final 10 minutes as well, he set up Denzil with a lovely ball which was headed wide. Good result. Gretna were poor - not sure how many first team regulars they had playing though? They brought maybe 50 away fans as well :023:

Should Brewster rotate the squad and leave a few out with an eye on Saturdays game against Falkirk? Does the fact we are playing Gretna make it a more important game to win because of the psychological edge it might give us? Obviously I hope we win both games but personally I feel 3 points on Saturday are more important Opinions?

Not sure they have anyone good enough left at the moment :023:

One of the reasons why, while I've been very impressed with Cowie, I don't think he is meant to be played wide right. Good point RiG. Cowie like Rankin preferred position is central midfield but as seems to happen a lot at ICT he is being played out of position. Luckily (for us) he had the whole of last season to get used to playing wide right as bizarrely thats where Leitch played him for County :024:

It went fine - can't even see the scar :004: Yeah Marius was Ok. Some nice flicks and lay offs. He did a fair bit of chasing back as well including playing at right back at one point. His running style is very odd maybe that's what gives the impression he isn't trying. He's no sprinter that's for sure. Still probably needs another half dozen games before he's firing on all cylinders

Never believe the radio commentators :rolleyes02: Marius played well today and put in a fair shift of work including playing at right back at one point chasing back 40 yards with the Hearts winger The whole team worked hard especially in the second half
