Renegade

I know we're into the new year now, but here's the first edition of Renegade's New Year Quiz. Try and answer these questions from your own knowledge only, and without cheating by looking up your answer before you put them up. 1. Maurice Malpas was linked before with ICT to be part of a managerial duo. Who was other candidate that would join Malpas in this management team? 2. When Butcher was sacked by Sydney FC, which well known player and current EPL manager was strongly linked to replace him? 3. Butcher once said, "Every manager in the league would love to have BLEEP, and I'm no exception." Who is BLEEP? 4. Which ICT player since 1994 has the best goal record compared to the number of appearances he made? 5. According Steve Paterson's book, he was signed for Yomiuri SC by German manager Rudi Gutendorf. What is interesting about Gutendorf's managerial record with international teams? Post you answers now!

Are you the same poster who used to come on here under the name ELIZA and constantly post, rather selfishly I may add, about how disgraceful it was that your name wasn't in a more noticeable position?

I seem to recollect Alan Savage saying that his role as Chairman was being"diluted" by Sutherland which eventually led to him packing it in. Says it all really. This guys only in this club for his own gain.

I popped in and bought ours on the 31st I thought that they were on sale, cause they would've been before this weather hit, but I couldn't get one. Apparently Motherwell requested 2000 tickets be available for their end, and they've only sold 200. I wanted to get my regular seat. Nothing crazy about that.

I see ICT aren't selling tickets for Saturday yet, cause of the fact they feel that its highly unlikely to go ahead.

Apparently he's just picked up an ankle injury, and Cox and Barrowman are also both injured and in doubt for the Motherwell game (should it go ahead).

According to the Motherwell website, if Saturday's game is postponed, the game will be played on Tuesday 12th January.

I don't.

Is this the same Owen Coyle who ICT refused to pursue in favour of a certain Mr Brewster?

I hope it's Butcher :D Butcher's probably been told to say this by the club. They did the same thing when Niculae went off to Romania for apparent "family reasons" and then signed for Dinamo when he was there. My personal favourite though was when Bennett said that McCaffery was "going nowhere" but a couple of months earlier, everyone had seen his comment to saying saying he was leaving the club. Even in Pele's book, he says that his drink problem and subsequent absence from the Aberdeen bench for that one game would've been kept "more behind the curtains" had he still been at ICT.

I wonder if the programmes had already been printed.

ICT have shown to be the liars in the "he ain't going anywhere" quote time and time again.

I see that article says that he is indeed on loan from Ventspils.

Another difference was that Larsson was dangerous all over the pitch, while Boyd is only dangerous in the six yard box.

So he's signed ? How long for and is it still a loan deal ? I wasn't aware it ever was a loan deal.

Sounds to me like there's a few parenting problems in Dornoch...

Really?

Like the other thread, here's one for ICT this decade. Which players/staff and events would you put in these categories for this decade - Goal of the Decade - Player of the Decade - Manager of the Decade - Captain of the Decade - Goalkeeper of the Decade Defender of the Decade - Midfielder of the Decade - Striker of the Decade - Assistant Manager of the Decade - Signing of the Decade - Game of the Decade - Save of the Decade - Most Skilful Player of the Decade - Goal Celebration of the Decade - Best Moment of the Decade - Cast your votes now!

Aye, I heard about that. He'll be good for them I reckon.

Wasn't that impressed with him yesterday.

For me - Esson Proctor Bulvitis Munro Shinnie Hayes Cox McBain Imrie Foran Rooney Subs - Allison, Djebi-Zadi, Duff, Sanchez, Odhiambo/Eagle If Hayes is still out, move Imrie to the right, with Djebi-Zadi coming into left back with Shinnie moving to the midfield.

He certainly has the leap and size to be a fairly capable defender, but does anyone else think Rooney might look the part as a fairly decent centre-half?

I must have watched a different game to some people. My MOTM has to be Proctor. He was good on the whole I reckon. Of the rest, I'm surprised that people aren't foaming at the mouth from Lionel's performance. He had a couple of decent moments, but to me looked dodgy a lot of the time and at other times didn't seem interested. Didn't think it was a penalty though. Munro and Bulvitis started out a bit sloppily, but got more solid as time went on. Esson did fairly well as well for the whole game. Cox was okay but missed a glaring opportunity. When the ball went loose, he had to hit the target, he he kept the ball don so it would've been at goal level, he would've scored. I wasn't impressed by Duff at all. Odhiambo didn't do much, and Foran had a quiet game, while Sanchez did okay, but only has one foot. And how did he miss that chance? I couldn't believe it when it went wide. Rooney took his goal well, but by God is he slow. Of the subs, Eagle did okay, as did Imrie but the latter still seems to have a rather high opinion of his own skill. Why doesn't Butcher still constantly go with these long ball tactics, especially in the first half? They quiet simply don't work. The second half performance was a little better, but not overly great. And why aren't the wingers on the correct sides? It just doesn't make sense. BTW - Did anyone notice that Number 2 for Dundee? Looked like he was going to die at one point, and then came back on and was fine. Shocking.

I think he's blown it.

Wow didn't see that one coming! But seriously, I think it's quiet snazzy. Much better than some of the previous years ones I reckon.
