ICT -V- Hearts : matchday thread
bring on the transfer window. who to buy? i hear dargo is available. a bit of pace and finishing up front wouldn't go amiss.

aye but i'm betting even he would finish from one yard out.

ICT -V- Hearts : matchday thread
imrie was absolutely p*sh. he had the perfect opportunity to run through on goal, but his touch meant the ball skewed sideways straight to a hearts player. Duncan was even worse, can that man actually pass to someone in his own team??? roscoe would be my man of the match, the only one showing drive to get forward and willing to put his foot in. Barrowman was by far the worst player on that pitch yesterday. Didn't see one flash of anything from him, apart from missing one yard out. Losing black and cowie definitely hurt us, we just hadn't a hope in midfield without them; and hearts controlled the match from there.

The long throw
the strangest thing i have notiiced is that not one of our players actually seem to jump for any ball crossed or thrown in. roscoe's tall but he's not quite 8 foot.

Home Form
The worst thing about it is that I cannot put my finger on the exact reason why we're not winning. Could be up front, the link between midfield, the defence, any pace whatsoever or a complete lack of confidence/skill. or it could be all of them. i agree that the stadium has a funeral felling to it at times, makes it hard to support the team. although all it takes is one win to turn it around. bring on kilmarnock.

Brewster is the man for the job
i've no problem with people on this site being anti-brew, whatever floats your boat. But i don't like hearing boos when we have gained a point with a late goal and possibly could have won.

Brewster is the man for the job
aye and moaning and groaning will win us the league? if we are in a position where i can see us being sent down then i would consider my allegiances, but right now we are 10 times better than hamilton.

Rooooooooneeeeeeey
Personally i see rooney as part of the long term future of the club, and he looks like he has finally settled as a footballer. Barrowman needs to work a little harder to force his way in, but he would probably be my first choice partner for adam.

Brewster is the man for the job
Brewster is the man for the job, and unless he has to leave by sacking or mutal consent then I and most of the ict support will be behind him (no, not in that way). He is still a rookie manager, but so far he has impressed me. I can understand football is a results game, but Brew can further this club. He has blooded young players and put together a good team. Who do people want to replace him? Barry Wilson. Not a jot of managerial experience. I'm sure that he will one day become our manager, but now isn't the time for him to step up.

ICT -V- Falkirk : Matchnight Thread
games at championship and youth internationl level. Plus he has experience in league 1 and league 2. Doesn't sound like much but compared to Wood (games against the shire and albion rovers) its a lot better.

ICT -V- Falkirk : Matchnight Thread
Theres no doubt the goalie helped us, but bringing on rooney and wilson enabled us to at least pose a threat up front and put in a decent ball into the box.

Rooooooooneeeeeeey
I've now seen Wood, Barrowman and even Imrie up front this season, and none of them impressed me hugely. Rooney comes on and makes a difference in every game he plays in, last night saving a point for us and saving our blushes. He rarely starts a game, but is now our joint top-scorer. He shows good pace, finishing, positioning and ariel ability. He shows passion and has the ability to spark us to life. None of the aforementioned strikers have shown me this (apart from barrowman in the 1st game of the season) and yet they are chosen ahead of rooney every game. How long is it going to be before he gets a prolonged run up front. He is clearly a talented boy that can score goals. Barrowman and wood look lumbering and lacklustre most of the time (apart from some minor brief flashes). Adam provides at least some mobility, and looks for the ball whenever he can. PLAY ROONEY AND WE ARE A MUCH MUCH BETTER TEAM.

ICT -V- Falkirk : Matchnight Thread
disappointing first half but that was because key players were not performing ie cowie, duncan and hastings, and not because brew was completely off with his team selection or tactics. I admit i wasn't particualrly happy with the 4-5-1 at the start, but Brew started with the exact same team that beat hibs (so far our best result of the season). IMO wood is not experienced enough yet to play up front on his own, he can't hold the ball for toffee, and thats what he is supposed to be doing as a lone striker. For a big boy, he doesn't offer much of a physical presence. But credit to brewster for chanigng things at half time, and if that proves anything it should be that Roooooneeeey should start every game he can; he adds pace, finishing and awareness, all areas where wood lacks somewhat. Whether barrowman or imrie or wood partners him should be left for brew to find out, but he is now our joint top scorer despite only starting a couple of games so far. Also, bring barry on more often. It pains me to see dougie swing pish cross after pish cross into the box. Their keeper was bad, but not that bad. All in all a point won and not two points lost. BRING ON THE JAMBO's. a 2-0 win for us my prediction.

Hello all!
I'm sure he'll win you over. ;^)

Hello all!
never been in foyers but i'm sure its better than hull. Look forward to your first summary of your first match. By the way, don't want to spark anything up again, but are you pro-brew (they are slowly disappearing) or anti-brew?

Hello all!
gonna be at the falkirk game marko?

IF ICT folded........
surely ict would stay alive in some form or another? cam't imagine it ever happening when you look at livingston and dundee both being in HUGE debts and carrying on. We would need to spend like crazy to catch up with the likes of them.

Hibernian -V- ICT : matchday thread
i wasn't at the game but i've seen a couple of photos, what was the celebrations like? Many fans? Decent reaction?

Hibernian -V- ICT : matchday thread
yep, we need a win against falkirk to make this one really count, we could be looking at ourselves 6 points clear of the bottom.

Hibernian -V- ICT : matchday thread
A great win, and everyone seems to have forgotten about the rangers match at last. Brewster got his tactics spot on and played to our strengths. No player could be faulted for effort, and i can't remember the last time that a team won with so much conviction as we did today. still want brew gone? nah didn't think so...

Alex Rae
Him as manager, Bullock in goals, Richie Hart in midfield and joey barton up front would make the perfect 'rehab' squad.

Alex Rae
How about ghandi as coach, paul daniels as player-manager and buddha as head scout. Not one of these managers mentioned would do anything differently or better than Brew has done. Not one of them can perform miracles, but Brew can keep us up. But, if i had to choose a serious candidate it would be steve paterson, a drunk but a genius.

A man finished
What would all of these anti-brewster posters done different yesterday then??? Signed the entire man utd squad and paid off the referee?? There was no chance we were going to get anything. Brewster has put together a squad that WILL stay up this season, and that alone means that he should stay. I know now that i will get attacked for "not having ambition that has got this club where it is today" but this year is the hardest yet, and certainly the most competitive SPL season ever. With fans like the ones posting today there is no wonder players don't stick around, they cannot win.

POLL: Time to bin Brew?
Honestly i don't mind if anyone doesn't like brewster any more, as long as they don't forget that if they are attacking him and abandoning going to games then they are abandoning the team and the club. \there are other ways to get a point across but the worst is not truning up to give a boost to the players.
