Yeah - 11th would be ok.... In fact right now that looks like being a pretty realistic target...:rolleyes02:

I'm quite sure that CC & Donald will see us through this crisis... What's to blame for the poor results? The fact that there was no one brought in to replace Darren Dods...

We haven't had any feckin summer this year so far :024:

This is going to be backs to the wall stuff with an eye for a chance to hit them on the break.... That tactic has worked pretty well for ICT the past, but they'll need to work their socks off to get some kind of a result..... A defeat here doesn't bear thinking about - but surely they have the personnel and the professionalism (and sufficient motivation) to avoid that.

An abundance of talent...?? :024:

:015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

That reminds me of one I heard recently on BBC Radio 4.... We would like to apologise to listeners in Scotland for a half-hour break in our transmission. We hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment of "30 minute theatre"..... :tic01:

Well he certainly wasn't inadequate - Just ask his ex-wife Winnie - She was spotted on many occassions sliding up and down Nelson's Column..... :023:

And if he doesn't get all three points...??

Anything less than 3 points will certainly be deemed a total failure by many of the posters on here - I just wonder who'll be singled out for the treatment this week..... There won't be any easy fixtures in this league this season.... Points picked up away from home will always be welcome... A point from St Mirren will be a better resut for us than it will be for them.... TF Dargo won't be facing us in this one.... :018:

Tactics will surely be to defend in depth, but always alert enough to hit them on the break, hopefully making good use of Hart, who did enough last week to start in this one..... It's imperative we don't loose a goal here - a draw wouldn't be such a bad result. Bayne up front - with Niculae just behind him... assuming both are fully fit.

Or in his lunch-box :014:

Colemanballs D-B-S..? Here's a few more.... Motson : When he (the Chelsea goalkeeper) learns to speak English, he'll be the best keeper in the country.... Because of the booking I will miss the Holland game - if selected - Paul Gascoine Commentator : So at the end of the day why do you think Arsenal won? George Graham : Because we scored 2 goals and they scored 1... Winning doesn't really matter as long as you win... Vinny Jones It was a terrible challenge - could have decapitated both his legs.... Colin Gibson A brain scan has revealed that Caddick is not suffering from a fractured shin... Jo Sheldon Even one goal would be enough to break the deadlock... Alan Parry We always consider a point dropped at home is a point dropped... Walter Smith Jim Rosenthall : So what's an American doing playing in goal for Millwall? American Goalie : I'm just trying to keep the ball out. He had no alternative but to make a needless tackle... Paul Elliot A late consolation goal from Middlesbrough - but they won't take any consolation from it.... Ray Stubbs I've played against him a few times... He's a very tough kettle of fish.... Kenny Dalglish

People like you never do, do they..? :016:

Sorry Rig.... I had to take cognisance of my email inbox full to overflowing with messages registering shock & disbelief... Also my PM box on here, and my mobile phone choked up completely.... Thanks for your concern all the same...... Thanks also to Clacher & Mee for all that support and counselling..... :022:

Oh I'm quite sure that CC, his family and friends will have much better things to do than read all the inane drivel that appears on here.... Thinking of which..... I'm wondering if you shouldn't be considering a loan to some other website with a much lower profile than this one. Many of your recent posts have lacked that sparkle and authoritive air, with which they once enhanced the overall quality on this site. Perhaps a loan period of un-specified duration, might help you re-discover and re-build your confidence, and maybe even one day earn a you a recall to CaleYThistleOnline... :014:

It is interesting that it's just a 1 year extension. Obviously not just me that's thinking this season is going to be a make or break one for CC.... :024:

Well said.... :022:

An 1000% improvement on any time we've been there bar the game game, I think. :021: The support this Saturday should be good too :001: Just as long as they don't turn on them if things don't go too well...... :018:

Great news not just for Rory - but all his family & friends as well :014:

I think he means St Mirren held Rangers for about 53 minutes.... :014: He's absolutely right about Dods though - our whole game was built round a solid defence which was extremely well marshalled by our former inspirational captain. Such a pity a package couldn't have been put together that might have kept both him & Dargo here... along the lines of the one that managed to attract Nicolae.... :024: This will be my last word on this subject..... No... I'm sorry - My mind is made up this time.....

Teammates disagreeing is not necessarily a bad thing, IHE... I remember - back in Aberdeen's hey-day Willie Miller and Alex McLeish punching lumps out of each other after they conceeded a careless goal... When they came off at half-time Fergie patted them both on the back, and told them that was the kind of spirit he wanted to see in his team.... But on more serious note - and this is a subject you know more about than I do - Don't you think that abuse from so-called supporters, whether from the stands or from this website, affects the players? Is there not a danger that some of these guys could become traumatised and finish up as serial killers? I just hope and pray our support doesn't turn again Rossco en-masse... The possible outcome just doesn't bear thinking about... Anyway this will be my final word on this subject....

Painfully bleedin obvious wot's wrong with this team... I'm surprised IHE, with all his professional expertise can't see it.... The morale of a team can sink like a stone when individual members of the team are routinely labelled as "sh!te" or "pi$h" or "cr@p" or even "not fit to wear a Caley shirt" Airing such comments from the stands is bad enough - that's been part of the game for a long time now - But to actually take the trouble to publish them on a website is reprehensible.... This will be the last post from me on this, or any other matter.... :blah01: Ps... It upsets their families and friends as well...

2899..? That's a lot of words of wisdom..... :014: 2900 now.

Ok... Apart from that last one in which I was merely responding to public demand.....
