Yes...........I hope he gets better soon. Good all round tough tackling performance. Unfair to single anyone out but,..................Proctor was maybe, just maybe the weakest link, but thats just my opinion. He was not poor by any standards, but looked a bit lightweight a couple of times although he put in a couple of juicy challenges as well.

I said possibly because it happened at the far end of the park, and I have not seen any replays on tv yet. I thought they got a succesion of decisions from a very very poor referee, and they took throw ins and free kicks quickly trying to keep their momentum going. Was that why he was exposed a bit down the goal line, I waited for him to lunge in but Mehmet got the better of him and crossed for Hamilton to score. Lionel had a good game otherwise and special mention for Roy who tracked Dormant all afternoon. Still buzzing, fantastic day.

We should have blown them away just after half time when Imrie made his own personal assault on the Mirrren goals, having about six shots in five minutes, unfortunately all off target. Lionel possibly caught out for their goal, but otherwise he had a decent game. Rossco scoring the winner in Paisley. You can't write stuff like that, the big man was magnificent, great in defence and scored the winner against his beloved buddies fans, brilliant. Good craic in the stands, well done to all for creating a noise. I thought Foran had a good game and Imrie back to his best being a nuisance player. Roy was on a man marking mission, hardly kicked the ball, but snuffed out his opponent well. Fraser did what he had to do. All in all, great day out and worth the cheap tickets just to see Rossco get the winner. Fandabbydozey

Give it plenty today Rossco. If ever there was a day to get it up them, then this is the day. Go on my son.

Gretna. It will be a reference to Gretna Green I would imagine, which is distinct from Gretna, it's closest town/village. My mate Wiki told me this, but I knew it anyway......... Gretna Green is one of the world's most popular wedding destinations, hosting over 5000 weddings each year. [2]. Gretna's famous runaway marriages began in 1753 when an Act of Parliament, Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act, was passed in England, which stated that if both parties to a marriage were not at least 21 years old, then consent to the marriage had to be given by the parents. This Act did not apply in Scotland, where it was possible for boys to get married at 14 and girls at 12 years old with or without parental consent. Since 1929 both parties have had to be at least 16 years old but there is still no consent needed. In England and Wales the ages are now 16 with consent and 18 without. Before these changes occurred, many elopers fled England, and the first Scottish village they encountered was Gretna Green. The Old Blacksmith's shop, built around 1712, and Gretna Hall Blacksmith's Shop (1710) became, in popular folklore at least, the focal point for the marriage trade. The Old Blacksmith's opened to the public as a visitor attraction as early as 1887. The local blacksmith and his anvil have become the lasting symbols of Gretna Green weddings. Scottish law allowed for 'irregular marriages', meaning that if a declaration was made before two witnesses, almost anybody had the authority to conduct the marriage ceremony. The blacksmiths in Gretna became known as 'anvil priests'. Gretna's two Blacksmiths' shops and countless inns and smallholding became the backdrops for hundreds of thousands of weddings. Today there are several wedding venues in and around Gretna Green, from former churches, to purpose buit chappels, but the services at all the venues are always performed over an iconic Blacksmiths anvil. Gretna Green endures as one of the world's most popular wedding venues, and thousands of couples come from around the world to be married 'over the anvil' at Gretna Green. In common law, Gretna Green marriage came to mean, in general, a marriage transacted in a jurisdiction that was not the residence of the parties being married, to avoid restrictions or procedures imposed by the parties' home jurisdiction.[3] Other towns in which quick, often surreptitious marriages could be obtained came to be known as "Gretna Greens".[4] These have included Elkton, Maryland,[5] Reno and, later, Las Vegas, Nevada, all in the United States. A notable Gretna marriage was the second marriage in 1826 of Edward Gibbon Wakefield to the young heiress Ellen Turner, the Shrigley abduction. In 1856 Scottish law was changed to require 21 days' residence for marriage, and a further law change was made in 1940. Other Scottish Border villages previously used for these marriages were Coldstream Bridge, Lamberton, Mordington and Paxton Toll. Today, possibly as many as one of every six Scottish weddings take place at Gretna Green or in the town of Gretna. There is an anvil in Gretna, Manitoba, Canada to symbolize the blacksmith, and the source of its name, inscribed on it is Scotty woz here.

Cool Kylie Whats the bands handle? Good pub Binkies, always some decent live music on. Anyway, car packed and ready for the off.

Jaggy Army anyone?

Ach, you lot worry to much.

Right back I'd also make him captain, take the weight off Granties young shoulders.

Should manage most of them, apart from the Motherwell game maybe. Killie will be difficult. Bring it on.

Thats only your opinion Tom. I am sure big D will have plenty of songs in his playlist, and will appreciate constructive criticism. Help me out here, what songs were played, I was there, but was not paying much attention to be honest. Why have you got a reference to a gay club in your post? Is this a problem?

My job is done for tonight, I have put ICT on top of the league.

He had better start scoring soon then, Barrowman that is.

Try the BBC site

I think he is passing the buck to be honest. The blame should be at his doorstep. We have been playing as if Brewster was still in charge recently, the low point being the Falkirk game.

I do that quite often, say Kerr when I mean Black

ESSON ;) :015: :D Kept us in the game with crucial block before half time. I doubt we would have come back from two goals down. Could have sat in the stand for the second half, but did what he had to do well, some of his kicking was erratic. PROCTOR :P :021: :D Did little to show me he will push Rossco for his right back berth, but steadied after disjointed start and looked better in the second half when we played further forward, able to help attack on occasions. ROSSCO :D :D :D :D Looked the part in both of his roles today. Stopgap Bobby Mann and last gasp Ally McCoist. Did enough to warrant his place in the middle and unsettled the Accies defence when he was thrust forward in a late bid to equalise. Played part in the build up to Kerrs goal. GRANTIE :D :D :D More steady than of late. Suffered with the rest of the team early on but held it together after that. Still guilty of hoofing aimless balls forward. LIONEL :D :D :D Man of Mystery has had worse days. Seen covering for Proctor at times and did his growing reputation no harm. Good recovery tackles and quick off the mark. Not enough wingback play today as we sat deep in the first half. DUNCAN :D :D Come on Terry, what the hell was Duncan doing wide right of the midfield. Looked like a fish out of water through no fault of his own, mind you he will be pleased enough to get a game these days. He plays just behind the middle men Terry and feeds on scraps. BLACK :D :D :D :D :D Man of the Match for us. Rightly booked early on but did not shirk his tackles after that. This guy is a giant, and was unlucky with looped header that dropped on to the roof of the net. Hearts fans are in for a treat if he knuckles down. KERR :D :D :D Popped up with late equaliser which could prove to be a vital strike. Another faultless but hardly flamboyant display by the ex Well player. You have to be in it to win it as the saying goes, and he was in the right place at the right time and struck the ball well. The slight deflection was enough to see the ball carry beyond the outstretched fingers of Cerny. MORAIS :D :D :D :D He will be disappointed with his effort in the first half. Should have scored when put through on goals, but lifted the ball over the keeper, and the bar. He should be equally disgruntled with Imrie, after beating the defender wide right, he sent over a perfect cross for Imrie to head the perfect goal. Well, thats what should have happened but the wasteful Dougie missed a sitter from six yards. Busy second half from Morais before being subbed late on. FORAN :D :D Suffered from a lack of service and had a lot of back tracking to do in the first half. Maybe deserves more, but due to Terry setting the team up to defend before we ended up chasing the game he suffered as a result. Can't do a half smiley, so two it is I'm afraid. IMRIE Dougie should have scored and he knows it. He can't buy a goal and looks as if he needs a rest. For your benefit Terry, that means dropping him in favour of someone who can score goals. subs:- Rooney :thumb04: Did little in the half hour he was on, but gets a point for turning up, as does Barrowman Ref :018: Just a complete joke, although I was not laughing. Time wasters :D :D :D :003: :003: Hamilton showed why they are above us. Scored a decent goal then shut up shop in the second half. Their time wasting started in the first half and continued to the extended end of the game. Serves them right, anti-football at it's best. ICT support :003: :003: Below par and like a sponsored silence at times. Even Johndo was a little subdued, no doubt bewildered by Lionel's prowess. Are the drums broken? Terry & Mo :003: :003: Must do better. Poor tactics could have cost us dear, although we deserved a point in the end. He must have roasted the players at jaffa break, cos we were 100% better in the second half. Lets try playing the same in both halves next time please. For those with no tactical nouse, I mean the same as the second half.

No, no, Renegade, it's only you that they hate. Did you lie when you were seventeen?

Not on my screen they are winning nothing. Kerr has only one vote just now, I wonder who that could be. Black is ahead at the moment with the five pointers, followed by Rossco.

He missed a sitter yesterday and was anonymous for most of the game, although he was not alone in that department.

Looks pretty much cut and dried for the five, three and one points, exactly the order I had selected as awell.

He did ok, certainly has the build for the job. He also played centre forward as our quest for an equaliser intensified in the last ten minutes.

Utter utter garbage by us, in fact in the first half we were outplayed by Accies and they deserved to be one up. They scored from a free kick off the training ground, missing out the shot and the cross ball, but playing it wide on the deck and a simple rifle into the bottom of the net found us wanting. Morais should have equalised but had all home supporters crushing their brains as he lofted an easy chance over the bar. Well. Butcher must have said something in the dressing room. He kept them in for ages, in fact, we wondered if he was going to let them out to play in the second half. The paint must have been dripping off the walls for we saw a different ICT in the second half. Not fantastic, but at least we were trying to attack. Now, I can't help thinking that Terry must shoulder the blame for the first half performance, because we were superior to Accies in the second half and deservedly equalised, albeit a slightly deflected shot from Kerr, which eluded the outstretched Cerny. Still, our second half endeavour merited this but despite Accies persistent time wasting and the added five or six minutes we could not force a winner. Overall.........a very disappointing first half which saw us give Accies the upper hand, but an improved second half which gave us little comfort, considering the garbage which went before it although we deserved the point. I believe we will hear Terry come out with the usual fantastic PR we know he has in his repertoire, but to be honest Terry, what the fans want to see on the park is a bit of flair and some goals and some passion, otherwise, we might as well be watching a Brewster selected team and tactical implosion.
