Was Ian Black racist?

Well, for the benefit of Mr MacLeod. 1. Which ICT player sent off in the 28th minute on the 7th March 2009? Andy McNulty. He was playing for Elgin City at the time. Lionel Djebi-Zadi was sent off two minutes later. 2. Who is this and what is his link with ICT? Former Tenerife and Borussia Dortmund manager Bernd Krauss. He was allegedly after the ICT managers job after Brewster was sacked. 3. Before Butcher was a professional footballer with Ipswich, he was a trainee what? It couldn't have been easier, the answer was in the name. He was an apprentice BUTCHER! 4. At one in Butcher's career he picked up an injury and the bleeding he had was refusing to stop. What was used to make the bleeding stop? A hanky. Whilst in hospital in the early 1980s the medical team were having problems stopping Butcher's bleeding. Whilst in hospital Butcher received a letter from a "faith healer" and said that if he held that a certain time, if held onto the hanky, the "faith healers" would pray for him at the same time. Amazing, it stopped the bleeding. 5. How many stadiums have ICT played their "home" games in (Hampden doesn't count)? And what are they? Not 5 as is commonly thought. The answer is in fact 6. They are Telford Street, Caley Stadium, Tannadice, Victoria Park, Pittodrie and Grant Street Park. The latter occurred a couple of seasons ago for a North of Scotland Cup game. ICT were drawn at home against Clach, though the fixture was moved to Grant Street. Even though it was played there, ICT still technically played as the "home" team.

A point to ponder here, is this the highest ICT result ever with the lowest amount of Scottish scorers? Of the seven goals, only Morrison is Scottish. The rest were by three Irishmen, two Englishmen and a Spaniard.

So McBain stays in for Golly and Morrison gets a start. Interesting...

HT - Ayr 1-2 ICT FT - Ayr 2-3 ICT Ayr 1st scorer - McManus ICT 1st scorer - Rooney Attendance - 1,753

Oh well, can't be caught now. May as well muck about a bit ad go out and gub 'em! Esson Tokely Bulvitis Munro Djebi-Zadi Cox Duncan Sanchez Rooney Foran Hayes Subs - Allison, McBain, Proctor, Eagle, Odhiambo Chances are if Ayr find themselves under attack from the beginning, they're shut the barn door for the 90. ICT should go and score as many as possible.

Is that Maurice Ross much good? I see he's at Beijing Guoan now. I've said it before and I'll say it again, but if I were boss I'd be strongly looking at Craig Moore. ICT need a good a good, experienced centre-half and that's what he is. He's also without a club just now after leaving some Greek club. The fact that he and Butcher are also both heavily associated with Rangers could also be an added bonus. Another centre-back I'd also look at is Matthew Booth the big South African defender. Playing for some South African team just now, but is a massive bloke and seems pretty experienced with spells in Russia and (according to Wikipedia) 24 caps for his country.

He did awfully well to get up and show no signs of pain then.

Claude Anelka had a pretty terrible record at Raith. He signed players from the Paris 7-a-side leagues and his record is something like one point from eight games in charge. Unbelievably he now has another management job with AC St Louis!

Maurice Malpas as a manager in his own right did pretty dreadfully with both clubs he's managed. At Motherwell he took a top 6 SPL side to just missing relegation and no more in the space of a season, and at Swindon he got the sack for another terrible display. He should just stick at being an assistant.

It was extended not that long ago, a couple of months ago at least. He signed on for another year so his contract (and Malpas's as well) won't be up until the end of next season.

If it had "Straight Back Up" on the back, that would be pretty snazzy. ;)

I saw in one article, Butcher said that contracts were the last thing on his mind. Hopefully that's all changed now.

:D

Boo Yeah!

There goes big Jim's record. :004:

Towards the bottom of the page This same site also claims that the next Celtic manager will be eh.......Craig Levein.

By does everything big that happens to this club always be a huge controversy? BTW - nothing on the Daily Record page.

That must beat the record of the oldest player to ever play in Scottish league football. Who is actually none other than Jim Calder! He holds the previous record when he turned out for Peterhead, at the age of 47.

I was at his dinner but maybe not completed as with others He left before his game could be played. No, Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club is the longest name in Britain but there are a few bigger ones. Some Icelandic teams have much bigger names.

No chance

He never got his.

Could you be thinking of Ashley Cole? He was offered a ?55k p/w deal by Arsenal but thought that the offer was peanuts and wanted at least ?60k p/w. It could of been, I saw an interview with Jack Charlton recently and he brought it up, and it kinda jogged my memory on the whole thing. In the case of Cole, really what's he going to do with the extra five grand a week?

What about this?

The major problem with Smith is he's more concerned with trying to improve football as a game than sort out the problems internally. We need someone who's one and only concern is the good of scottish football and technological improvements aren't going to improve the standard on the park (unless we start using football playing cyborgs)... the Summer season league was a non starter because we would be screwed if we ever make it to a International competition How do the Swedes get round it?
