That's a whole different discussion.

Don't encourage him!!!!!

Was it not already in place before the North Stand was built? I agree with you that it is unsightly, but it's there and anything we might want to do to it to improve its look or relocate it costs money we dont have so we just have to live with it. We may not have a bank debt, but over the last couple of years we have been operating at a loss so every penny counts and I dont see where pumping money into moving it or tarting it up would actually give us any benefit other than the "look". If we get to the stage where we can (or need to) spend some money on infrastructure, then this should be high up on the list IMHO. You're right Scotty, it was there before the stand was built but why was it not moved then? Unfortunately, money is the reason for everything at ICT - we always don't have enough to do this that or the next thing. If things are so bad that we can't tart up that shed then the business must cut it's cloth. If we can't increase our income we must cut wages and general expenses and that will most probably mean relegation and redundancies and if we can't cope with that then we go bust. OBTW the only reason we don't have any bank debt is that we don't have any assets to borrow against. The lsat time we were in serious stook new people came in to "restructure". Is it not therefore time a similar exercise took place - new money - new people - a new start! Sorry going way off topic so I'll go and put my head down. I can't believe you think that the club should be allowed to go bust just because we have a portakabin for a shop.....that's really cheered me up!!!

I also believe there's issue with making it any more permanent than it already is. Having a portable structure keeps things like building regs and certs out of the picture. The moment you start skinning it or making it permanent then you have to jump through all those hoops. As has been mentioned already, plans were drawn up for stadium expansion, but these never came to fruition. The portakabin was never supposed to be a permanent solution, or even one that has lasted this long, but other events have prevented plans being implemented. So, in the grand scheme of things, it matters not a jot who's decision it was....it was needed, it was intended to fill a gap until other things were done, events overtook those plans and we are where we are. I doubt you would get anyone to agree that they like it in any way shape or form....but not liking something doesn't magically make the money appear to fix it. Incidentally....we're not the only club (SPL or otherwise) with this kind of setup, a few others are stuck with semi permanent "outside" facilities for shops and ticketing services.

And that, as they say, is how you do that!!! I've said several times this season that someone was going to be on the end of a hiding and I said yesterday on the way down the road that I felt it would be this game....and it was. For some reasons we always seem to have decent, entertaining matches against Killie and I was getting flash backs to the Pele era where the game plan was to go out there, give it everything in attack and if we were going to conceded then we'd just have to counter that by scoring more ourselves. The display by the lads should be a big fat two finger salute to anyone who thinks this squad is not capable and/or not willing to work and fight for each other and the team. Davis who's maybe had a little more than his share of the criticism when it comes to commitment gave his all...and a bit more. He owned the entire area between the two boxes yesterday and I quickly lost count of the number of times he stopped Killie getting beyond the halfway line or set ICT on their way with a quick/clever ball. Davis was causing so many problems for Killie in the middle that it's little surprise that he was the main target of their frustrations when the composure finally broke. Good job by the rest of the ICT squad for stopping him (Davis) from losing his as a result....especially Tade who had a rather stern word and highlighted that there was no need to risk stupid bookings (especially with him already on a yellow). It doesn't feel right being critical of anything after that results....so I won't. It's important that the team carry that performance and confidence in to the next game so nothing to be gained from pissing on the parade with what is no more than a couple of small frustrations. Andrew Shinnie looked like he could have scored with his eyes shut this afternoon...and Tade scoring two 1 on 1's will boost his confidence. Hayes gave a prime example of what we need to be doing more often...and that's getting over the ball and having a pop. He (Hayes) was spent by the time he came off (actually about 15 minutes before he came off)....but considering he's just back from injury and lacking match time that's hardly surprising and he gave his all (and some) while on the park. Foran...again...had a far better performance playing from a deeper position...and may even be a little frustrated that he didn't get on the scoresheet himself. I wonder if the rumours are true and Shane Sutherland was given up as a blood sacrifice in some strange voodoo ritual on the Friday Night!!!

After last weeks Jonah-esque comment from myself about how well we'd started...I've decided not to comment this week.

The panel deemed Murphy to have been in full control and preparing to shoot at the moment of the foul. You could argue several things for and against, but I don't think it could be argued that he was in control and/or in the throws of shooting.

Careful what you wish on others....never know when it might be us in the same boat.

The biggest worry is that Romanov may just make it impossible for the club to "rise from the ashes". The only way it could be reborn from the same "entity" is if the company completes the administration process and puts itself in a position which allows it to trade again. Romanov may just be mad enough to throw a few spanners in to that process to drag it out to the point where it becomes impossible for the SPL (or even the SFA) to allow them to continue as a member club. You just have to look at the situation with Livingston where it was only an 11th hour agreement to sell shares that prevented them from disappearing altogether.

It's such a vague rule that you get about 20 variations on it every time something like this crops up. For me a "clear goal scoring opportunity" is the attacking player being fouled whilst through on goal with the ball under full control and/or being in the process of taking a shot which could not be blocked/prevented by anyone other than the goalkeeper. I don't think the ball was under full control at the time of the foul. Murphy was running to the left and played the ball straight up the park...a good distance away from himself. He certainly wasn't shaping up to shoot. Whether Tokely or anyone else would have been on the scene in time is neither here nor there, IMO. Anywhere else on the park, and I doubt that would even have been a free kick.

I agree with Johndo on this one. After what happened with Tokely I have little faith in the appeals panel/process. Mahonio, the answer to your question is in the article.

I think a few things were said by several people early on which raised expectations beyond where they needed to be. It's the whole "expectation v ambition" argument. It's tough to find the balance...if they do as they did and talk about shooting for top 6 then you get the situation we have where expectations are high and criticism is flowing due to us sitting bottom...if they had come out and said the aim is survival then they get slated for lack of ambition.

Dry your eyes mate!!! If you think someone disagreeing with you or giving you a red dot on a forum is hatred, then you're in for a shock when you get out in to the real world. If you are not willing/able to defend and stand by your opinions without going into the "Nobody Loves Me, Everybody Hates Me" routine every time someone disagrees then it's probably best you keep them to yourself. It's your whining that gets people's backs up more than your thoughts on whether the manager is good, bad or indifferent. Make your point and, if challenged, argue it sensibly without the drama. If you can't do that, then quite frankly I would prefer you stuck to your word and just posted elsewhere and not cause us the hassle here....I'm certainly not going to allow you to drag threads off topic with your childish nonsense. The choice is yours.

Thanks Alex, but I stopped visiting P&B so I could avoid the drivel!!!

Think it could bring financial problems for both clubs in the short term, but ride that storm and it can only be a good thing for the area.

I thought Forans shift back to the midfield proved that sometimes it's better to have a player (especially one who's not been 100%) work smarter instead of harder. Foran was back to doing what he does best and he'll contribute just as much, if not more, from there than he has been from playing at the front.

Having had the benefit of seeing some close up photo shots and a larger version of the video...Meekings got the ball and his foot then rolled over the top of it. I know getting the ball does not automatically mean it's not a foul, but watch it back closely...Hammell saw it coming and instead of moving to save himself he actually plants both feet knowing the player is going to come through him. I think the Ref probably called it right with a yellow...even though solid contact was made with the ball, the foot/leg were off the ground and that caused the follow through. Not nice seeing any player stretchered off the park and hope it's not overly serious, but can't help thinking he did himself no favours by choosing to ride the challenge to win the free kick.

Oh yeah....horlicks!!! Proctor in at right back then if we must!!!

Have submitted a review directing people to the free download....how long it remains there is anyones guess http://www.amazon.co.uk/Against-Birth-Inverness-Calidonian-Thistle/dp/0953124002/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319925046&sr=8-1

Robbed...and they didn't even have the decency to wear masks!!! Spoke to a couple of different Well media/official guys after the game and they were of the opinion that they should have been on the wrong end of a hiding out there today...they also agreed that the Red Card for Hogg was ridiculous and it probably didn't warrant even a yellow. After the Tokely one, I don't hold out much hope of it being overturned either. One thing that stood out for me today was the teams movement and how they were slotting in to cover for each other when players found themselves out of position. It really stood out for me when we had a free kick around 36 minute mark. As soon as the kick was taken and possession was lost the fastest 4 guys were back and formed the defensive line, then as the others got back the transition back into their normal positions was really slick. For the goals we lost....the first came from a bit of confusion in the box. Hogg and Tokely looked like they were each waiting for the other to deal with it...and the end result was that neither of them did and we lost the goal. For the second, I don't think it was so much a lapse in concentration and more an over eagerness after going ahead (again). From the re-start too many players tried to hold/push forward and we left too much space behind us. The third was as unlucky as it gets, free kick off the face of Hayes. Not seen the team look so distraught at the end of a game this season as they did today and anyone who thinks it means nothing to those lads couldn't be more wrong. The real test of character comes now, they have to put the disappointment behind them and believe that if they keep playing the way they did then they're going to get the rewards they deserve. Same team for me next week if we can get the red card overturned and Meekings injury doesn't prove to be too bad. If not then I'd have Piermayr and Golobart in their places.

Terry seems to have picked up 11 new players on his way in the A82 this morning and Motherwell still to register a shot on target.
