Renegade

Through time...

Call me a liar if you like. The fact of the matter is, this club won't be getting money for nothing, it's in dire straits.

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.

First of all, I hardly doubt that Bulvitis is on a big wage. Secondly, it depends on how much of Duff's wages are being paid by ICT. It might all be being paid by ICT, or all by Aberdeen, or of course a mixture of the two.

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.

How am I meant to know? This is just what I was told.

It was actually an ICT employee at the stadium today.

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

What I was told today was that the club really are in a bad way. Butcher will probably be gone before the end of the seasons cause ICT can't afford to keep him, no-one will be brought in January cause ICT can't afford to, and the club shop and other similar things will be gone at the end of the season, should ICT be in the same state then as it is just now. We need some new investment, and we need it NOW.

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).

HT - ICT 1-1 Motherwell FT - ICT 1-3 Motherwell ICT 1st scorer - Foran Motherwell 1st scorer - Fitzpatrick Attendance - 3,718

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

I don't.

What!? You go to supermarkets! You capitalist slave! It should be farmers markets and family grocers you should be going to!

How do you pronounce the year we are now in? Is it Two Thousand and Ten, or is it Twenty Ten? What do you say?

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.

Does anyone else feel that we are in the beginning of the end of Butcher's rein? I certainly do. I get the feeling that the next league defeat could well he last.

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