I think we just have to face facts and he is not an SPL player

It appears not Scotty, why the heck we cant get these players on long term contracts really beats me

Smee do you believe it should also be the same the other way, there a huge number of Scots working in Non English speaking countries throughout the world, I was one of them when I went to Romania I could speak no Romanian. Do youthink that brits should not go abroad to work if they cant speak the lingo

I also don't believe that he realises that it is not entirely our league position which has brought the anger upon him, it is the manner in which his lack of tactical acumen has lead to dire performances and a poor product which has brought (my) anger. FULL ARTICLE Articles like this will not help his cause either, if he thinks it is only 20 fans that are unhappy with him he is kiding himself

It must of been the wine last night Scotty, now I see the logic :thumb04:

Yes good luck to the team, hope the fans have a great day, dont think I ever remember been so gutted at missing a game

Scotty I fail to see that logic, this is a pro club and a small one at that, we and cant afford , its like a manager saying lets sign them all and we will see what is the best.

It depends, they used to travel all the time but for the last year they only travel down on the day of the game

I take it you dont mean at TCS Sorry just noticed you said ex

I woud say that the board have kept their promise in this respect, it has been a substantial investment, maybe not in signing on fees but with wages, accomodation etc and the number of the players we have signed and its apparently not finished the club have made a substantial investment.

Yep thats the man I think

Would you like to meet and discuss your views over a large portion of pie, chips and beans? If you're lucky I might even stretch to some cake for afters. To heck with your pie and beans but I will be there for the cakes, sorry cant wear my top for some reason they have all shrunk.

And 3 strikers at present

If I was a betting man I would say Cowie will be away next week, probably to Dundee United

Yes Pele I dont doubt that, I think one of Rorys biggest problems may have been his international call ups, he then thought he was the star. He needs to take a step back and learn his trade and then maybe he will show the potential many think he has

I hope the lad does do well but get the feeling that unless he gets his attitude sorted he will also struggle there,

Why would you be offended and why is he an idiot ? He's not an idiot for joining a protest against something he believes in and he certainly didn't set out to offend anyone by his actions or belief's. He may have been a bit silly to take his flag to a football match. But not an idiot. If he is then everyone on this site who expressed demonstrative comments, and calls for action, against Craig brewster is also an idiot. Everyone, around the world, who stands up for their beliefs must also be idiots. The debate about the tricolour and Union flag is a bit different though. Those flags have been used to represent the two Glasgow teams ever since their formation and so have become a part of the culture that is the twins of evil. People may be offended by them but no law says one can't display them. Howdens would probably want me kicked out of the ground if I were to walk in with this flag but what the hell. Doesn't make me an idiot. No Alex it would make you a legend :thumb04: :018:

Not sure Scotty just know he is latvain

Someone arriving as a trialist doesn't exactly smack of experience. Another Latvian apparently, Brew must have found a contact over there , hopefully it is a good contact

Never heard that but apparantly Dinning is being given another weeks trial. Just got the name, Izzy Iriekpen just released from Scunthorpe, not confirmed that he has signed but the info I was given suggested he was today

I have heard we have signed another centre half from England today (no name as yet) is it my imagination or are we not getting a bit top heavy in the defensive department

One thing for sure is that the team is going to be a very different one that started the season. I am a bit worried that Brew can take in so many players and get them to blend together so quickly, mind you he couldnt get ones that have been playing together for years to blend so he might do better with a new lot :thumb04:

You'd need one that will hit 30 a season unless the defence gets sorted. We were always pretty solid at the back and we won games because we could shut the opposition out and nick goals here and there. We can still score goals, but our defence is rotten now. Get the defence sorted and we will get back up the table a bit. Certainly would get us out of trouble. Look at the teams around us, all of them have poor defences at the moment. I am fairly sure that we have brought in all the players of a defensive nature that we are going to, so hopefully the new additions will take care of that. It doesnt matter if we like it or not we are in a relegation battle and thats when we need experienced players and we dont have that up front, not only to score goals but to hold the ball up and link the play with midfield, some of the stikers we have may have the potential to do this but its going to be a real battle down there and its asking to much for players of their experience to do it alone. This is a big problem as I am sure the club realise we need this but it aint easy to find one.

Rory has had more chances than most. He's almost 22 now. He was punted from Aberdeen because of his attitude to his career. Got the opportunity here and just didn't take it. I was one of those who tried defending him when others were slating him but one can only argue for so long. He could be a great player but until he wakes up and realises he has to work for that then he'll not get any more chances. I think that you have hit the nail on the head, from what I have heard Rory does have talent but he thinks in his own head he is the finished article which he is some way off, perhaps if he got a manager that could sort this out he will see the promise that he has shine through, if not I think he will be making his living in the lower divisions

I think that in this instance the club have got it spot on, all the signings are a major gamble and with the likes of Byrne and the Hibs duo they didnt exactly set the heather on fire at their last club, thats not to say they cant be a big success at ICT but lets have a good look at them before tying them down to long contracts, and even if a month or so down the line and they are looking the part the club could then go back to them then with longer term deals.
