  1. If I am not mistaken, this thread was about Roy's testimonial against the Legends. The last two pages have reduced the whole affair to a farce. The thread should have been positive and, as far as I can see, it has become very negative. I do not know any of the people involved in posting but it appears to me that they are using the forum to "attack" others. I will "nail my colours to the mast" and admit that Roy is a relative and, without question, I know that everyone was asked to play because of the respect Roy held for them as players. Anyone who has read the interview with Roy on the forum will know that he was as disappointed as the next man at being relegated, but this did not influence his attitude to Craig Brewster as a player. I had the honour to be a guest of Roy's at the match and I can tell you that the people around me (fellow guests and famly members) were disappointed in the reaction of the individuals in the crowd every time Craig touched the ball. My personal opinion is that Craig Brewster could still play to a high standard and I hope that the rest of those watching appreciated the touch and level of fitness that he was renowned for as a player. I have thought long and hard about a reply to this thread but, at the end of the day, it was supposed to be about Roy and I just felt a reply had to be made. Can I respectfully suggest that we get back on the subject of Roy's testimonial and forget "petty squabbles". In my opinion, Roy is one of the most professional players you could come across, but then again I am biased!
  2. I think you will find that there are only 5 subs allowed in the First division. Butcher, however still takes a squad of 18 or 19 to away matches leaving some to sit in the stand!
  3. Can any of the statisticians among you confirm or deny that Ian Black has a 4 game suspension after his booking at the end of the Falkirk game. This could account for the rumour that he is training with the 19s.
  4. Quote from TomCaleyJag today "I have absolutely no idea why he insists on continually selecting McBain whose last meaningful contribution was probably his goal at Gretna!" If I am reading this correctly then the only meaningful contribution a player can make, in your eyes, is to score a goal. To carry this argument forward then the majority of Caley players have made few contributions all season unless, of course, they have scored! Surely a player can be the provider of passes, crosses etc. and make a very useful contribution to the game without actually scoring - in fact some players will go for a few seasons without scoring but contribute greatly to the team.
  5. In his post match interview for Radio Scotland, Brewster said he felt his team were "in the ascendency" - if that was the case then why did he take off two players at one time and change the team? Surely a team that is pushing for a goal should be left as it is! On a lighter note - did anyone else in the main stand spot the sabotage by one of the Falkirk subs - as Richard Hastings made a run down the left in the first half and was about to cross the ball, the ball took a savage bobble - off a mobile phone! This was handed to the Police and quickly claimed by someone from the Falkirk bench.
