Dude, you must be out for a whoooosh there.. seriously your team selections should go in the General nonsense Thread.... The have nothing to do with any right minded ICT fan... Why not? It's a game that doesn't matter much, no harm in changing it around. Just change the midfield to 3 and move Tokely up alongside Rooney!! Now wait for their defence to head straight for the subs bench when the first attack takes place. Can you imagine our big two bearing down on you as you decide to maybe pass back to the keeper, slip your man and move on upfield or...maybe I'll just kick it out of play and run like fun away from this man mountain! Well at least this team selection gave my mind a treat. Thanks. . Your welcome

I don't really make the connection between ICT "deserving" to go down just because the fans are quieter than others. In fact, the last time I was at Celtic v ICT at Parkhead, the atmosphere was really rather minimal, nothing like they are during the away games. Same goes for Tynecastle, pretty quiet last time I was there.

:018: Evidence please. What about the Celtic and Rangers supporters, are they better? Or what about you beloved Chelsea supporters, and the rest of the big teams, are they better? Even though huge percentage only support them because they have some success and a sky high budget, and would no doubt disappear back into the woodwork if the money and success was taken away.

So we prove were up to date and a modern club by playing a 20 year old track , good thinking :018: Thanks for that inspiring and inspirational reply. Age doesn't matter, type of music does, and reckon that's a good tune. You seem to have a bit of a obssession with my posts, so don't bother replying again. Maybe it's time you went outside and got some fresh air, and when you come back maybe thinking before you post and actually puting something constructive and relevant up, not just digs at everyone like you always do.

What nonsense. If Tokely is as bad as you constantly protray him to be, he would've been found out by now, it's that simple. Why is it though that whenever he makes a mistake your the first to have a go, yet when he has a good performance you stay silent, for example his goal against St. Mirren. You stayed silent. You seem to have an agenda, and there's nothing worse than one-trick posters. I don't have an agenda. Notice, I have been quite vocal in my belief that Duncan should've been dropped. Two weeks later, everyone was calling for Duncan to be dropped. At the time it was right, but for example on the last day of the season, I said that I thought Duncan played alright especially not in his "natural" position. The same goes for Munro, but when I thought he had a good game like on the last day of the season, I said so. Honesty, that's what it is. You constantly harp on and on about your dislike for Tokely, which to put bluntly is rather boring. It's just some vendetta you've got, and it's a silly one at that.

Why not?

The only players I can really see going out on loan are the likes of Nick Ross and Shane Sutherland. These sorts of players.

As it isn't an important fixture, I'll change it about a bit: Esson Cox Duff Hastings McBain Tokely Stratford Duncan Eagle Rooney Djebi-Zadi Subs - Allison, Proctor, Ross, Imrie, Munro

What about this to run out to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P93cI_u1mng? Good tune, and could make a good fan anthem as well. Far better than that Highland Cathedral cringefest. No wonder opposition fans must think Inverness is still stuck in the dark ages. Out comes the teams and their point is proven.

What about that left-back/left midfielder Tonet who was at Saint Mirren. Some Spanish bloke who was released at the end of the season.

Livi were living well beyond their means LONG before Gretna even got into the SFL really? At least Gretna went out with a bang while Livi have been disolving very slowly for years It's better to burn out than to fade away as Neil Young once said. In the 1970s. It was the "Rust Never Sleeps" album I think. When did I say that??? So what is 63-year-old Neil Young doing these days? :( Still going strong from I can see.

Agreed with Bayne, not very fast and not a prolific scorer but he sure put pressure on the opposition defence. Wyness - God no. He's been dreadful for about five years and in season 06/07 and most of 07/08 his performances were painful to watch. No thanks. Juanjo - Perhaps.

That Ben Hutchinson from Celtic would be a good one to loan in.

Alright then... I'd go with Esson Tokely Duff Munro Hayes Cox Stratford McBain Imrie Foran Barrowman Subs - Allison, Djebi-Zadi, Hastings, Proctor, Rooney, Sutherland, Gillespie Thought my other idea is this: -----------------------------Esson--------------------------------------- -------------Duff------------Munro------------Hastings------------------- Tokely --------------Cox----------- Stratford----------------Djebi-Zadi---- ----Foran------------------ Barrowman--------------------- Imrie---------- Go 3-4-3 with Tokely and Lionel as the far wide men. They should be withing 10 yards of the touchline at all times. When Hastings has the ball, the whole opposition will move towards that side, when that happens Tokely and Foran should move over on to the right touchline and Hastings knocks it over to them. Since then Foran or Tokely will have the ball, they will have acres of space to run into, eventually being able to cross the ball into the box. Well at least he, (Renegade) seems to have noticed what Rossco's best position is. I'm sure renegade was touting Tokely as our creative midfielder not so long ago And I still do, but not as "creative" midfielder, a grafter midfielder as he was in the Hearts away game last season.

Miller's far too old and still rather tubby.

I'm not having a go at him, I'm just hoping the board doesn't do the inevitable and employ him as boss. Before Brew came back many many people on here said it would be a disaster (myself included), and turned out to be right. Now I'm saying the Board shouldn't do the inevitable and give Malpas the job, which would no doubt be another disaster. Would you be pleased if you woke up tomorrow and found out Butcher had gone and the board had given Malpas the job? I wouldn't. He may be a good assistant, but as an out and out manager he is pretty inept.

Well it's pretty simple: Brewster Managerial Career - ICT (1st spell) - Relative Success - Dundee United - DISASTER - ICT (2nd spell) - DISASTER Malpas Managerial Career - Motherwell - DISASTER The fans hated him and campaigned for his dismissal sound familliar. - SWINDON - DISASTER Need I say more?

That's not really what I meant, I reckon it's almost inevitable that whenever Butcher goes Malpas will get the managers job, and to put it frankly, that'll Brewster MK2.

Actually I was going to post thuis thread no matter what. In fact, I was also going to post a thread called "Dear Mr Brewster" last season, but when I got rounf to it IHE had just made one called "Dear Craig", so you can send me that quid whenever you like. I do agree with you to an extent though, if ICT go lets 10 games and it doesn't look good then that is the time to start looking at Butcher carefully, if by say Christmas time, it aint looking good, then I for one will call for Butcher to step aside (and take that clueless Malpas with him [don't want him as boss, oh God no!]).

This has nothing to do with the game the other day, I would've put this thread up whatever the score had been, and even if there hadn't been a game at all. The man's had six months to show us what he can do, and he's seems to be dead set on playing as a Tokely centre-half when it is obvious it is not his best postition, went with a Division One keeper at best, dropping an experienced and all round better keeper when the results were most vital and seems to go with Brewster-esque hoofing. It was things like this that meant his careers at his other clubs (except Motherwell) went down in flames. I'm just giving Butcher a helpful hint, especially when these things are extremely obvious.

I'm still working out my tactics for next season, but they're the best yet, and much simpler too. I'm post them on here in a couple of days. Actually you'll find I didn't say ICT should sign rugby players, I was talking about internationalists from these countries.

A - He'd never come and B - he's rubbish. That was those two Slovakians who played in the recent friendly. Butcher said he didn't rate them.

Livi were living well beyond their means LONG before Gretna even got into the SFL really? At least Gretna went out with a bang while Livi have been disolving very slowly for years It's better to burn out than to fade away as Neil Young once said.

Dear Mr Butcher, You're obviously a well known man, who has a great knowledge of football. The only problem is that there's some stuff that ICT need to do, and if ICT are going to win the First Division, there's some stuff that really needs changing. Please, please, please get Tokely out of the central defence role. He's a right back and that's where he plays best. He isn't Darren Dods or Bobby Mann and can't read the game from this position. Also ICT lose a heck of a lot of attack down the right. Move him back there ASAP. For someone who was such a legendary England defender, I'm surprised you can't see this. If this Bulvitas signs up, and he's up to it. Play him at centre-back at all times. Find some else to be captain. Munro is not a captain and ICT really need one to progress at this level. Tokely is probably the best candidate for now. Give it too him. If Russell Duncan can't pass, then drop him. I'm sorry, but I don't thnk I've ever seen a worse passer of the ball. And last but not least: For the love of God boot these long ball tactics to the skip outside Caley Stadium. They are just horrific to watch. It was the hoofs forward that was a big factor in Brewster's fall from grace and they could be yours as well, if you don't boot them. Stick to the old simple slinky style Paterson used to play. Keep the ball on the deck as much as possible and play to the wings. Caley Stdium is built for this sort of play. Surely you don't want your ICT career to go the way of your Brentford, Sunderland, Coventry and Sydney ones do you? Hell, you even finished last one year with Motherwell and it was only Brockville that saved you from going down. Do you really want to be like Ossie Ardiles and put your name forward for every job under the sun? Of course not. Please take the time to read these suggestions and hopefully integrate them into the team of ICT. Yours sincerly Renegade Persident of Renegade Inc.

Does that make Ross the youngest ICT first team player ever?
