No, I am Craig Brewster.

I see the FIFA Club World Cup is on right now. Watched the two Gamba Osaka games and thought they were alright. Man U will almost certainly win it though.

Link Maybe ICT should be trying to get him when he finishes in England. Go on Brew what are you waiting for?

I wouldn't be suprised if it's Zander. Is this really right? The sort of numbers I've seen bandied around on here were very different i.e. a multiple. I'm assuming it wasn't Brewster's choice to let him go, anyway, more financial. Well more issues I would say. Our scoring record is better than everyone else in the bottom 6 apart from Falkirk. CC has to share the blame for not replacing Dods, too. Brew only had a day or so in the previous window (though I agree, with hindsight at least, it should have been a bigger priority this summer). True, but it wasn't for the want of trying. They tried Stuart McCaffrey and it didn't work, they tried some Austrian bloke and it didn't work, they tried Gianni Joinville and it didn't work, they tried Richard Hastings and it didn't work, they tried Phil McGuire and it doesn't work, and now they're trying Proctor at centre-back and it sure aint working. They also tried Steve Watt, who I thought was really good against Arbroath and he completely disappeared. Brew needs to make a competent centre-back his number one priority in January.

It's hard to say. Some say that future formations will be non-symmetrical and have arms on them, like this: -----------------GK-------------- ---RB----CB-------------CB---LB- ------RM--------CM--------LM--- --RW---------------------------- --------RF-----------LF---------- Another one could well be what Man U are doing now, with a 4-6-0, with an attacking front four which also pulls the defenders out of position. I still reckon that the 3-5-2 may still benefit ICT though, especially if a big centre-back a la Dods is signed in January.

Maybe not so much "back on here", but he was logged in for a wee while the other day. I for one hope he comes back.

What! No story to go along with it. Ruined my day.

Just to stop anyone wanting him to come to ICT, John Collins has just been appointed manager of Belgian 1st division side Charleroi.

I miss Sophia now she's no longer around. Her posts were bizarre to say the least and she seemed to disappear after someone cottoned to the fact that she was actually a bloke and/or Bobby Mann's mother. Johnboy on the other hand disappeared for a while but popped up again the other day.

I may be wrong but he's on loan at Elgin That's what I thought! I saw a guy on the pitch with 29 printed on his three quater lenths on. Maybe that's because it wasn't him. It was more like Kyle Allison filling in the goalie coach.

Why not go outside the ground in the middle of the night and write "BREWSTER OUT" with paint in big letters. Brew'll be able to see it when he parks the car. He might get the message, or then again he might not.

This decision by B-Rooster, proves to me how is utterly useless he is. Great striker, horrible manager. He simply has to go now.

Will Brew be manager of ICT this time next year?

I don't rate Fraser as much as I did and think that Esson would be a better option. I'd also consider this option: ---------------------------------------Esson----------------------------------------- -------------Proctor-------Duff-----------------Munro--------Hastings------------ ---------------------------------------Vigurs---------------------------------------- -------------Cowie---------------------------------------------Imrie--------------- -------------------------------------Djebi-Zadi------------------------------------- -------------------------Barrowman-----------Rooney---------------------------- Yes that's right, Lionel Djebi-Zadi just behind the front two. Lets face it. At left back he's pretty rubbish but there was a moment in Monday's reserve reserve game where he made a couple of attacking runs down the centre of the park and Celtic counldn't catch him or get the ball off him until some bloke pounded into him. As I said before, at the back he aint great but going forward he can be quite dangerous. And on top of that he's big and pretty quick. Play him just behind the front two and this could be a recipe for success.

The board have to ask themselves a question here: do they A stick with and almost certainly get relegated or B get rid and bring someone else in with the possibility of staying up. Having to watch another long ball extravaganza on Saturday I reckon most would take B any day. Brew as a manager is a good as an old wet carrot. He is to football management what Sarah Palin is to golf. Nowt. Only ICT would be daft enough to take him back after the Dundee United disaster. Saturday proved to me how useless he is. He keeps on Wood who was a much good as two planks of wood, he takes off Rooney, someone who'd been playing quite well and who does he put on? The great goal scorer himself Roy McBain even after Motherwell go 2-1 up. Joke tactics by a joke manager. It looks increasingly likely ICT will be relegated this season and it is mainly Brewster and his tactics's fault. He's got to go.
