Ralph he may have 20 years experience in pro football but how many of them have been as a successful manager, good players dont automatically make great coaches

For obvious reasons I think that would be very difficult for any off them to do that,

I doubt even Alex Ferguson could get an adequate performance out of our defense right now. Talking about Alex Ferguson I was reading an article about him talking about what a huge surprise Hull have been this season, he said "it shows what can be done when the management mix is right"

feel that is a bit harsh, remember our financial situation if we got rid of all the ones you feel are not up to spl standard how could we replace them with better, ICT have excelled with these type of players before and if the team spirit and belief is there they can excel again

I think Robbo with CC number 2 might just be a good combination

Alex sounds very like that while you have tried to remain positive the last few weeks from what you saw in the first half today you now also believe we could be have serious problems

Alex I am not saying he wasnt just that I think CC would have gone sooner rather than later anyway, CC takes it very personally when ICT lose and I think that was having a big effect, I think he would be an excellent number 2

You forgot to take your pills today Ross? I would welcome Charlie back. He done well till Savage threw Niculae on him. While I also thought CC did a good job, remember that he was going to resign the season before, I dont think CC likes the pressure of management

what about John Collins

Why do you want to change it for him to stay now :thumb04:

I have not called for his head from day one, but I do know when enough is enough. I would love you to give some examples from day one and beyond. I will not say I have always been supportive of him, but certainly not anti-brew from day one. If you believe I have, please substantiate your claims with examples ..... or can your guide dog not work the keyboard. **** off you Canadian ****. why the need for rudeness just as someone, well in fact most of the people dont agree with you

yeah. dont want to take this off topic so read this article for a good feel of the season. The reporter comes to the pub with us on matchdays and is well respected (fan first, reporter second): http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...ry/WBsoccerblog Read it Scotty def not your year in a footballing sense

Are they going through a hard time as well, what about Mo Johnson for ICT :thumb04:

To be really honest, I do not care. It has been suggested that he lost the dressing room a while back, well he finally lost this fan today and I do not pay attention to the opinions of those who fall into that category. Scotty I think he will lost a few that were still undecided up until today, by all reports the team were all over the place in the first half and I think it was probably more a case of Rangers taking their foot of the gas rather than any improvement in the second half.

you are having a laugh

I think that whatever these guys have done, it is beyond belief that the world is in economic collapse, there are wars all over the world where people are getting killed and these two comedians are front page of our news for a week now, this is the biggest story of the week but why because we live in a country obssessed by celebrities, at the end of the day they mean nothing

My fear is teams that sit back to much at Ipox seem to get taken apart and with Hastings and Tokley not playing at their best could be a long afternoon, I think it may be better to have a go at them which they will no be expecting

Personally I would try to offload Rory at Xmas, forget putting him out on loan better to get him off the payroll, as for Woods I am not convinced he has it either but probably worth putting him out on loan as its clear that he is not ready for the SPL yet, and although on loan last year it probably wasnt long enough. I think both Rooney and Barrowman may well come good but we desperately need an experienced forward to come in and help these two. Who we can attract I have no idea but surely a club with SPL status must have a good enough scouting system to find one.

I think it could be down to a man under pressure, of course he must be feeling the pressure and probably thought getting to a cup semi would have taken a bit of that pressure off

If Brewster had said nothing after those two terrible decisions would we not then be saying he didnt care,

What you dont understand is we like each other really

Well he's not had a decent run of games due to injuries and a bit of rotation up front. Also he hasn;t exactly had a barrowload of chances to prove his worth. The thing that's frustrated me about Barrowman when I've seen him so far is how little he does on the field when he's not got the ball to feet around the box (against Hearts he was woeful). It looks like a lack of effort - but then we were criticising Niculae last season for dropping too deep. Maybe we don't press enough to have the luxury of a "penlty-box" striker in the starting line up - but then maybe if Brewster played Imrie and Cowie on their preferred wings then we'd get to the bye-line more and create more chances for Barrowman. Certainly the apparent lack of effort will not sit well with Brewster, which is maybe why he hasn't been starting, but then if that's the case, why did he sign him in the first place? Possibly he's just not suited to a team that plays on the break more often than not. I think you may have a point here, I also thought that Marius dropped to deep last season but think it was a case of doing that or not been involved in the game, having watched Marius in a couple of Dinamo games he doesnt drop nearly as deep as he did when he was with us

was Deco not in a similar position having been born in Brazil but chose to play for Portugal having gained residency there, dont think you would find to many Portugese complaining about him playing for them

Ok come on you are giving the impression that you know the truth here, go on tell us the truth, and dont give me this gagged bull as I know you are not. tell me what I am missing

ok I will give you that one :D :P :021:
