Well done Morton, see the problem early, get rid of the problem early...........all managers and boards take note.

Make your mind up rosscoe, was it Woking or the Ironworks........... ok then, add me to the list as well.

It'a all about value add. If they don't add anything more than what we already have, then why are they playing and experienced players sitting on the bench. Changes needed.

Ach, he's only stating what we all know.

I too have noticed this on occasion. The online list will be full of guests sometimes. I will move this to the techy threads and see if Don/Scotty can provide the answer.

I would doubt the bus would leave Dumfries before 11:00, therefore it would not be in Inverness until about 16:00.

I think Eagle is worth persevering with, but he should be left out wide, as should Hayes be. For me the biggest disappointment is not Stratford, who has been ineffective since he arrived, but Cox. In pre-season Cox was going right through players, hard as nails stuff. The last few games, I'm afraid Cox has wilted, he has gone soft since his bandages were removed and now is playing like a fairy. This is disappointing because I know he can do better. Maybe he is too young to have to carry the weight of the midfield on his shoulders, if that is the case, then get Roy or Russell alongside him and ditch Stratford. Sanchez is another luxury we can't afford at this level. Neat and tidy and can always come up with the unexpected, but the commitment looks to be well short of the required level.

Sutherland, Shinnie, Ross and Morrison should all be knocking on the first team door, with Rooney getting an extended run on the park. I know he has missed a few one on ones, but he is at least getting into those positions. Russell Duncan is a must to return at the expense of the ineffective Stratford. Eagle and Hayes must patrol the touchlines, anything else is criminal.

Oddly enough, it was about a minute after we equalised.

I would give her one................out of ten.

Briefs Encounter.... The toilet guy was sort of inviting me to reply, he kept saying, "you'se are rubbish by the way", repeat four or five times. My reply, eventually, was.........what do you want me to do about it.........."naw, but you'se are, pure rubbish an'at, naw" At this point, his skinhead features and broken nose erred me on the side of caution, his knuckled hand with love etched on his bruised fingers still clenching his manhood made me stand to attention. It was all over in a few seconds..............I just agreed and we both went away happy, but disillusioned, for different reasons. I agree about the defence though. The only part of the team playing as a unit. Couple of errors early on but we held firm as Airdrie launched plenty of balls into the box from wide positions. The goal Airdrie scored was a decent strike, Baird turned sharply on the edge of the box and hit the ball early low beyond Esson who was probably beaten by the turn and left flat footed. Rooney scored a similar effort last weekend in the NoS cup final. He might be worth a start next weekend, despite his apparent immobility, although he got stuck in yesterday when he came on.

Pretty much it Johndo. I would have given a collective one smiley to:- :thumb01n: Foran Stratford Sanchez Cox Eagle

What a bag of tripe that was. Absolutely no midfield. Cox has gone backwards after a promising start. Eagle was like a headless chicken, Stratford was, well just rubbish. Hayes was the only one looking likely to trouble the scorers. Sanchez did nothing all game. Foran seems to be getting more knackered every game. It's just as well the back five can be reasonably stable on their day. Rooney did more when he came on than both the starting strikers and Barrowman showed some neat flicks and touches, unfortunately none in front of the goals. Proctor did ok when he was on. I don't recall the Airdrie keeper having to make a serious save. Hayes took his goal well, beating his man inside the box and firing through the keeper from an angle. He almost repeated that five minutes later. Not enough quality on show and Airdrie should have won. They made better use of any width and were prepared to play football. One Airdrie fan I met in the toilets said, ICT are rubbish, absolutely rubbish...........I had no cause to doubt him after witnessing that. To summarise then.....pass marks for the back five, just, Hayes, Rooney Barrowman and Proctor. Terry Butcher, this is simply not good enough to win this league. Sorry to spoil everybodies weekend, but that was it, utter rubbish.

The blue train is quite nice, but my peronal favourite is the red and white one. Uncle Albert will be going down as well.

Simple way to police the offside rule would be to scrap it altogether. What purpose does it serve? It only annoys the hell out of the fans. Many moons ago, when buffalo roamed free, Hearts and Killie played a trial match where there was no offsides. Hearts won something like 7-1, but the plans were scrapped to introduce it.

The RockNess site has to be purpose built for the event. These are massive operations with miles of temporary security fencing erected, stages etc. It would not be viable to build the site for a three/four hour concert. The ideal, would be a ready made site, but the only stadiums in Scotland capable of holding these crowds are in the central belt. Would I go and see Stewart if he came along.......probably, his early stuff was built around me.

don't forget me as well.....and the mrs..............maybe

Oh God, look who's back. Can we make the loan a permanent deal. Now then what was that about ball control.

Maybe, but it's not a football match, and any event won't be run by ICT I would doubt.

OK guys, keep the personal abuse down. Keep up with the topic. Rossco, if you don't want to contribute to the topic, then don't post on it. No need to continually slag other posters. Respect others comments please. The mods will be discussing the report.

Why should they?

You're no Airdrie any more You're no Airdrie any more

I'm in, and maybe Mrsmann4thejob as well.
