We are getting closer to transfer window and a number of our players are on 1 year contracts, have any of them impressed enough to have other clubs come sniffing around them at Xmas offering them pre-contracts. Hayes? Sanchez? Foran? any others that might be targets?

That is bang on in my opinion, when they went to 4-3-3 we did nothing to counter it and that cost us the cup after having one hand on it .

Seems like the solution is clear, a pub open from 1pm to 6pm matchdays bang in the middle of North Stand just behind singing section if only.

The latest rumour on this subject is that a full revamp of all leagues in Scotland is being looked at and an invitation may be issued to some teams in the Irish top league to come and join us. Away games in Ireland would be brilliant.

Yep would agree with that, thankfully we haven't had any injuries in that area, apart from Duff but if we did could be struggling, I would imagine if TB has any cash to spend in the Xmas window it is defence he will be looking at.

What about putting the singing section at far end of Main stand close to the away support, I feel there is always a better atmosphere when there is a bit of banter between the 2 sets of fans. The hospitality seats could then be moved to far end of main stand, just a thought

Think Duff is out for the whole season which is a shame. I thought that might have been the case, yes real shame, real prospect but will see the best of him in the future I am sure

Problem I see with this is that there are people that have had the same seat for years and are happy with it, not been able to get their seats at the start of the season might have a negative effect on the number of tickets sold.

Depends who we can get, been struggling to fill this position since Dods left with the exception of Pavel, would rather keep Bully than go through the while McGuire etc procession of rubbish again. When is Duff fit again? he would also be decent back up

Very difficult to say, it might not even be between us and Dundee, no team has really stood out so far.

Hayes looks real quality a real find, if anything he is perhaps not fully matchfit, different to actual fitness, last thing I would want to be doing is get shot of him.

I certainly don't think its a heinous crime, what I do think is that it perhaps shows how proud he is to be manager of the club, and if what I hear from contacts in the game I trust he is applying for every available job in England are true perhaps also his commitment. I wonder when people are going to stop believing the Butcher PR bull.

Just consulted somebody who has done a lot of TV work and he said he will have a lot of say in what is put there and can certainly insist on what is put there.

See that myself, disappointing but not surprised, think it was Scotty that predicted this would be the case when he lost Scotland gig.

I can never remember a game where a team can go from been so good in the first half to so bad in the second half. Butcher deserves credit for getting it right with the starting line up but got it badly wrong in the second half no more so than with his subs baffling to say the least Somebody that is in the game not an armchair fan texted me 5 or 10 minutes into the second half and said "you lot are going to have to change things around or you are going to get a doing" well we didn't and we did get a doing. I hope Butcher can learn from his mistakes as he is not to far away from getting it right.

Please think about what you have just posted. I find it disturbing coming from an ICT fan. Why? do you consider us one of the giants of European Football, we are a wee club nothing to be ashamed in that. So should Terry Butcher be embarassed about managing our "wee" team? Are you embarrased to support our "wee" team? At least he has shown he's not a quitter by sticking at football management, he obviously has a passion for the game and who knows what he can expect if he achieves promotion? Maybe a move to a "bigger" team than us. John Terry would be lucky to be managing a "wee" team like ours in 20 years time. Sorry but I don't see where he mentioned that anyone would be embarrassed , he was just stating the fact that we are a wee team and he couldn't see John Terry managing ICT in 20 years and if John Terry's managerial career goes even half as well as his playing one I think that is a fair comment. I think it is fair to say that Butchers managerial career has not gone as well as he would have liked so far. And by your own admission we are a "wee team" as in your post it states Butcher could " Maybe a move to a "bigger" team than us " if he got us promoted.

Yes very true

I will have some off what you are drinking Alex :) Seriously good on you optimistic in the extreme :015:

Agree that 10 points from these games would be a decent return, very tough though and need to up our game to achieve that

The name of the main company that carries out the recruitment is Orion Engineering Services think thats why a lot of people assume they are an engineering company

I seen Rod for the first time in years last week, still as sharply dressed as ever :dancing03:

Aye good job it could have been 6 :dancing03:

Stick with the same team as against Airdrie, not sure if Eric is fully match fit yet so take him on to run at a tiring defence late on.

Saturday's win was a clear "lose". Sure, we beat Airdrie. They were a very very poor excuse for a football team. A half decent first division team would have demolished us (as has happened so often this season) I think I have heard it all now, I must have missed the SFL ruling that states if you beat a team but don't do it in style it is considered a "lose" . Get a grip its not as if every team has been knocking 5 or 6 goals past Airdrie this season. Are we playing well, over the whole over the season so far probably not but we are still in touch with the leaders and have a cup final to look forward to at the weekend. Come on folks its Cup Final week lets all be positive and get behind the club we don't get to many of these occasions to look forward to.
