Renegade

I BELIEVE..... ....that ICT will not be relegated. BELIEVE

Agreed, a good captain doesn't need to bawl at his players.... except when they get stuff wrong. He also needs to rev them up and encourage them to victory. Munro does none of that.

Nor can they spell Danni Sanchez's name right. It has two Ns.

Well he might have been today, but the time I saw him he was very good.

Only 0-0 was it?

Perhaps a slightly better choice and possibly Foran too, but in truth there's no-one that really sticks out as a captain in the current team at the moment from what I can see.

That's the problem, Munro can be/is a good player but he has to be one of the most ineffective captains I have never seen at any side. He just stands in silence. Of all the home games this season, I've seen Munro shout once - twice at the very most. What kind of captain does that?

Probably something like that but probably with Hayes and Foran on the opposite wings. And I see Griffiths and Hutchison is the front two. Oh no.

Oh dear, even in jest that's an unfortunate answer. (For those who don't remember, McDonald was away for a few weeks early on in his time here as his mother had died).

I've just noticed that Ben Hutchinson is in line to start tomorrow. If he's as good as he was in the Celtic Reserve tie a couple of seasons ago then God help us, God help us all!

Aye, I think it would be Mann. Was she not a poster on here for a long time? Sophia her name was IIRC. The very name sends chills down my spine.

So do you think tomorrow is make or break on ICT's promotional hopes? This poster says yes.

Is it not still the case that ICT support a 10 team SPL?

It's probably more like the Dingwall Youth Trio. I highly doubt this'll happen, and now this is out on here the police will be more heavy handed just in case it's true. I'm sure we'd be able to deck them anyway (not that we'd resort to violence of course).

I'd wouldn't say there's anyone slagging him off and anyway the whole point in having a forum is that people have different views. For example - some people will like a player, some will not. Some will like a manager, some will not. Some will like the home kit, some will not. I could go on and on. If you look through this thread for example, I'd say most rate the guy. This thread and forums in general, are there for people to express their opposing and honest views. If everyone thought everything and everyone was amazing, things would get a little dull.

There would be no risk to any dealers if drugs were completely legalised across the board. That'd knock these dealers out of it, whilst at the same time having no need for your dark aged, middle eastern, backwards country style punishments.

For me it's a return to the 4-4-2 - Esson Proctor Bulvitis Munro Golabek Tokely Cox* Duncan Hayes Foran Rooney Subs - Allison, Djebi-Zadi, Sanchez*, Odhiambo, McBain * - One of those two.

That's a good post, PMF.... I have to admit I'm impressed by the fact he clearly wants to stay here, and clearly believes he can get us back into the SPL. I do agree he is still learning his trade, but hopefully ICT will reap the benefits when his apprenticeship is complete. At the risk of upsetting Renegade, I would also add that MM's contribution to the ICT cause, should not be underestimated. From what I gather, Malpas as a coach or as an assistant is actually quite good. It's just when he his the main man, that he isn't quite so great. I'm going to add this in as well, but has anyone else heard about the supposed scenario of what would've happened had TB and MM not stayed. The board was essentially in a win/win situation cause I've now heard from a few unrelated sources is that Robertson and Wilson was essentially agreed in principle and ready to go for next season. It makes me wonder if the board were taken by surprise that Butcher wanted to stay. :angry:

Is Tokely suspended?

Indeed I do know that, but he's played there for so long and so continually that it essentially now is his "natural position".

Havent heard that particular rumour myself although I would be surprised if all of the players liked the manager as that would be a first for virtually any club, especially for those on the fringes who may not be getting a game and feel they should .... From what I gather, (again I can't prove it but I believe it is highly likely that it is true) is that it isn't just about selection - it's deeper and more personal than that. No, but maybe I should have. Well if you want some positivity I'll give you some - I agree to a degree with those who said that it's good to finally have some continuity. I agree, it's long overdue and IIRC ICT haven't really had a single manager for an entire season for quite a while (Off the top of my head I think CC in season 2006/07 was the last boss for ICT who lasted the run of the entire season). On the other aspects, I'm still at this point yet to be convinced by the managerial skills of Butcher and Malpas. I haven't really been inspired by either of them, the team still have a few lasting problems and continuing problems that should of and need to be sorted, and of the football in general, I agree at times it can be quite good, but the team still needs something to take them to the next level. From what I can see, Butcher and Malpas are not (yet) the people to do that. Why do I support the team? Well simple, they're my local team and have always supported them, that's why I pay my money to go the games. To a certain degree, I'm still rather optimistic about things. Promotion is a possibility (albeit an outside one), but on the whole I believe the best is yet to come. It may not be under the current managerial team, or this or next season but I believe that the best we have had will be overtaken and the best days are still ahead. And the personal insults begin. How nice. Here's the thing though, who'll turn out to be right in the end? We shall see. More of an observation than an insult Renegade. If you care to cast your mind back I have, on more than one occasion, defended you when real insults were aimed at you. I have reservations about the abilities of our management team too but looking at the whole picture I believe that this decision is a good one. Our team need stability at the moment and a few mistakes during the bedding in period need to be put aside considering the team is now showing signs that they are willing to fight for this league championship despite the earlier set backs, that can only be credited to the management. If you are so keen to take offence perhaps you might be happier supporting a team in green and white hoops. Okay, I suppose you have backed me up a couple of times, and that's good but there does seem to be a degree these days that if you disagree with the status quo, you must be wrong. (And thanks for the mention on P&B today ).

IIRC the editor had his own column, part of the "Munro Files", but with the lack of space now, he has seemingly take it out (which is a rather noble think to do if that is the case, when you think about it).

And the personal insults begin. How nice. Here's the thing though, who'll turn out to be right in the end? We shall see.
