Blatant plagiarism. Imitation -> Flattery -> NOT

Phew!!!! Well done guys. Awesome result at this stage.

That'll do for me. Well done Terry and the players! Winning ugly is fine at this time. Definitely erases some of the frustration of last weekend. Regarding the unanswered poser put by Yngwie - isn't it the case that LDZ's red card wasn't for violent conduct therefore he will serve a ban next cup game...not league game?

New TShirt idea for CaleyD....

Brilliant memories. I'll leave Naelifts to explain his journey to the original postponed fixture. The midweek was just incredible. We got back to Edinburgh and decided to go to Diggers to watch the BBC highlights. Went in wearing our scarves and got a great welcome from the Jambos. Next morning waking up to The Sun headline. A date worth noting every year!

Ho, ho, ho Mihadjuks, you know Never believe it's not so Mihadjuks, you know Never believe, it's not so

It's been said 100 times before but perhaps not so graphically. Good post!

He had one peach of a chance to volley from the 18 yard line and become an instant ICT legend but took a touch and it was gone. That touch, confidence, composure, lack of class, call it what you want, has been an ingredient we have sorely missed this season. The forwards, time after time, have been the weak link. Wonder what these youngsters would've been like if they'd worked under a manager that was a ... er ... emmm ... top class ... er... striker in his day.

Well done to the team and management. This is hugely encouraging! Whether it was an overdose of adrenaline or a specific game plan Celtic never had a moment to settle and play. We battered them from all angles then hoofed it upfield, got in their face and they hoofed it back. The beautiful game this was not but who needs pretty football when it's points at any cost. I thought Black was lucky not to get marching orders if I'm honest...he could've done something serious to McDonald, who must feel he's been in a fight today. Ach I was going to say something negative about Proctor but I think they all battled really hard, clumsy at times sure, but no doubting the commitment. Makes you realise the extent to which Brew had ripped the heart out of our club. Well done guys!

With the greatest respect to all the candidates...can we just cut the crap, give Robertson his 2.5 year deal subject to remaining in the SPL 09/10 (bonus for doing so) and get it in place by 10am tomorrow. We cannot waste a single day with the current league position. I'm damn sure we could get something from Saturday with Robbo in charge.

"Lynch mobs for managers are a regular sight in the Scottish game. ... But in fairness, Brewster has been a dead man walking for weeks. ... I'm not quite sure of the root cause of this unusual glow of well being about our game. Maybe it is the first shoots of snowdrops and daffodils that I spotted in my garden, or the generous measures of Islay Malt dispensed in my direction over the festive season." a. Baying fans are an unsightly if common feature of our game. b. On this occasion they have a point. c. Ach to hell, I'm too bevvied to know anything about anything. The wisdom according to Chick the chuckling crown prince of scottish sports broadcasting .

"When you look at our budget, the lowest in the SPL along with Hamilton, and look at our league position, you could argue we are where we should be." "20fansgate" aside I think the above unnerves me most. So every time we lose to a club with a bigger budget than ours that's to be accepted as just the natural order of things? Get ready for Division One folks, our manager is looking for opposition with smaller budgets than ours. Good f****** grief!

Sums it up for me. Terrible day...good post. Division One still has some grounds with standing terracing doesn't it?

Happy New Year HD...and all the fab folks who populate CTO. Have a guid un !

They do things with more integrity down there: From BBC: "Derby County's chairman of football Adam Pearson has admitted he made mistakes in handling the appointment of Paul Jewell as manager." A statement said Jewell "feels he is no longer in a position to take the club forward" and assistant boss Chris Hutchings will take temporary charge. "It was probably one result too far for Paul," said Pearson. "He came to see me after the game and said that he felt it just wasn't working out and didn't want to club to suffer as a result. "He just feels that the club needs a fresh impetus and a new direction. "So we agreed a deal to go our separate ways, which is something entirely private between the club and Paul."

I'll take that one for the TCS tannoy next Sunday. Followed by: "Should I Stay, or Should I Go?" "It's all over now baby Brew"

Indeed. We scrambled for ours (Tokely bossing a high deflection, Rooney making amends from his ***** penalty) while gifting enough room to re-make A Space Odyssey for Porter's hat-trick. I was going to do a match report but... ach Brewster, why the **** should I?

Almost from the kick off I had the feeling this was two ****-poor football teams flailing around like 10 year olds on a surface that was, appropriately enough, like a municipal park. It was dire, really dire. We can't mark, Proctor looked like he had no clue which side of his man he should be on and can take the blame for the opener. From then on it was keystone cops. No shape, no tactics, no-one capable of putting a decent ball into the box. The midfield desperately need a playmaker that could pick out the holes for the forward players to run into. Someone like, er, Black. Instead the ball either went sky-high and nowhere or into Wood who spent most of the game facing his own team. Someone, a coach say, should tell Tokely that the mysterious right inside centre he keeps playing the ball to is a hallucination. Munro is no leader. We need one of those as there is nothing inspirational coming from the management. McGuire just about passed today. I though Roy had a reasonably terrier-like day, good and bad, a bit like Duncan who managed to engineer us out of trouble only to pass us back into it. Ach I can hardly be bothered any more. Motherwell are as bad as us but in Porter they have a penalty box striker that must have thought several Christmases had come at once. Wood and the ineffectual Rooney should study the video and see how to get away from their marker. We are short of 3 things, sorry, 4. 1. Confidence 2. Tactics 3. Ability (the basics that should be the focus in training. Do we train?) 4. A new management team 22 Quid Brew. 22 pounds to watch that ***** in the freezing cold. **** it, I make the effort to attend, yet I see no effort from you. Go. Go now.

Quite unbelievable...what has happened to MY club? I was at a game in Cyprus this year where every seat had a flare for every fan to set off at the start of the game. The atmosphere was electric and fiery, very fiery and very hot n smokey! (The kids that were playing with several dozen nicked from seats were a worry I will admit but...we all got out alive.) Still, it inspired the home team to a good win. Now, my first venture to TCS for 5 years or so and the loyal support want to send a message to the club. For the first time in my life I see an "Evidence Gathering Team" filming genuine ICT supporters with legitimate flags/banners. What f*cking control freak thought that was good PR? Meantime upstairs at Police Control we are being scrutinised by Plod...yes guys I saw you with your binoculars. I've been reading some weird accounts on here in the last year but I see what has been said is complete truth...we are a club in freefall. The board is bankrupt, the stewarding is bankrupt, the security is bankrupt, the team are plain sh!te, the club shop...oh dear me, and our manager is an embarrassment... ...I used to be proud to say I'm a shareholder... Ha!

Maybe next time he should go in a professional capacity and try to bring ICT back to life. That was dismal and frankly, at times, deperate. We had no shape in the midfield, no composure, we lacked any coherent ideas to get the ball from back to front (if Tokely tried once he tried 20 times to play the same ball to Wood; I think the Don's defence twigged after the 2nd attempt), there was nothing resembling a tactical plan, they tried everything at 1000mph...getting in each other's way. It was a miserable mid table first division performance against a well-organised Aberdeen side. There was no guile, no awareness and with no Plan A in place, Plan B never materialised. Black managed to give some semblance of vision and Wood turned his marker well. Other than that top marks to the producers of the banners. 'Brewster Out'

How do you feel about managers 'going back' to clubs they've previously managed? Would you like a crack at Hearts again?

Brewster is an able fitness coach...the rest is just dice-rolling! Somebody please do something...!

9th in the league is about the extent of our board's ambition...all is rosy in their heads!

Fact is, we are relying on others being worse than we are. This is life under Brew.

Irish bar in Limassol, Cyprus. Everybody else was watching the England v All Blacks game! It looked like an Arabic station. Think I'll head down there again for the Dundee Utd game.
