No family variety bucket?

It's got nothing to do with budget, or how much he is being paid. IMO, the fans should be judging him based on his performance on the pitch. If they don't think that performance is providing value for money then take out your frustration on the club who are the ones who decided to pay him the wage he's getting.

Have you seen him recently Tree? Looks like he's shed more than just a few pounds. I spotted it at the reserves game last week.

I agree with that, and their is little point in him playing a great ball in to space if nobody is there (something I don't think he is overly guilty off) - In the same fashion though, the team need to learn to get into positions they may not normally have adopted because Niculae is capable of delivering the ball there. I believe that this is something that is happening and that people just have such high expectations of Niculae that think they should be seeing supermanesque performances every week. The facts speak for themselves and Niculae has been pulling his weight in terms of goals and contributing to others scoring - testament to the fact that he may just be gelling with the team far more than some are giving him (and the team) credit for. 2 Goals, 3 Assists and only topped in the SPL for shooting rate by Scott McDonald. If anything, it is perhaps the quality of his finishing that needs to be worked on and not how he is integrating with the team.

I do now

Whilst I agree that a team should not be radically changed to accommodate a single player, I also think it is extremely arrogant and self defeating to adopt the mindset that Niculae should drop his game to fit with everything at ICT. What we have here is an opportunity for our guys to learn something new and for them to add that to the mix and make us better as a team. I am confident that the team will be working just as hard to up their game and better understand and work with Niculae as he is to fit in to the team and that's how it should be. Any other attitude to the situation is, IMO, arrogant and self defeating.

I've got a spare seats at the moment so no problem with that. Should it look like changing I will let you know.

Who's volunteering to write the full Match Report for the site then?

I'd have no problem with doing that.

TY TY TY Got on the PC late last night after having consumed a litre of Ouzo :029: - saw the thread and thought...oh heck...what I done now to upset the masses and decided not to read the thread till this morning :015: Best present I got - My 2yr old Niece singing me Happy Birthday...what a big fecking softy eh :001:

Fraser has been erratic so far this season. He goes from having a great game where he meets every crossed ball and attempt on goal with confidence and composure to games where he looks the total opposite. For that reason I don't think his problem lies in his ability but something else. It could be confidence, attitude, too may late nights, his mother washing his strip in a different detergent...I don't know, but I know that he needs to get it under control or Brewster will be justified in giving Zibi his chance sooner rather than later.

Zibi looked ok in the reserves match last week and had some stunning saves, seemed confident in dealing with whatever was thrown at him in terms of crosses etc and had the added dimension of spotting a player for the quick throw out which he uses to great effect. Not saying Fraser should be dropped, but if it came to that then I think Zibi looks more than capable based on the couple of times I have seen him since he arrived.

2-2 Get In there...screaming Free Kick by Cowie

Every time I read that it reminds me of the folklore that mystifies Tomnahurich - the only difference is that on that occasion it was the musician who was lured unsuspectingly into a strange and mysterious place instead of it being the other way round!!!

I don't care if he never scores, so long as he keeps on setting up the winners :001:

As far as I am aware ICT and Aberdeen are still to meet in order to confirm the Date and Price. The person I spoke to at the club had no idea where the BBC had got the Wednesday Night from as it has yet to be agreed between the clubs.

As Brewster said in a statement on the Official Site...

I think that's a little unfair Alex, and not entirely accurate. Yes, a couple of site users tired to use it as a "Stewards/Club are being heavy handed" line, but the majority of people who commented agreed that the lad was in the wrong and should face punishment. Discussion then went on to the punishment fitting the crime and in that regard the scenarios are very different. If we lived in a world of Black and White, then yes, I would agree that both should expect the same treatment, but we don't.... - The ICT Fan didn't technically enter the field of play, he crossed the wall but never went on to the pitch, the Celtic Fan did. - The ICT Fan did not approach any opposition players, the Celtic Fan did. - The ICT Fan never laid hands on anyone, the Celtic Fan did. For the record, I don't think the Celtic boy deserves a lifetime ban..a year or two maybe, but not life. We've all done things in life which we later regretted and would not repeat and I don't see why the law (and subsequent punishments) inside a football ground should be any different than that outside it. The ICT Fan the other week deserves some kind of ban/punishment, but I don't believe his actions were in any way as serious so perhaps 6 to 12 months would be appropriate, not to forget the fact that such action can also lead to charges of Breach of the Peace so he may/may not have that to deal with as well.

Just remember that baring your erse is not considered fancy dress :015:

Fook Sake...even your kids are turning against you!!! :015: Wait till I get my ICT Tattoo done....you'll be sixk with jealousy when you see it :001:

Those who list groups of people they can't tolerate but who will deny they themselves are a bigot :tic01:

The Minibus for Gretna will likely be down there in time for the Fun Day. For those who want to attend, I will happily run them to the stadium before/after dropping the rest at whatever pub they are going too - or we could all attend and still get back to the pub for a drink before the game :001: Still a few seats available for the minibus but let me know as soon as. **Note - The Minibus is not the Official Supporters Club Bus and you will need to check with them as to what their plans are for the day**
