Scarlet Pimple is an acquired taste.

whoever gets the last one (Z) should select the new one :symbol_idea:

don't try these at home children :018:

:029: To do what?

Here is the initial report from the Official Website It was a young team including Manager Craig Brewster that made the journey up the A9 to take on Highland League Brora Rangers at Dungeon Park. In an impressive showing the boys rattled in seven goals without reply with Rory McAllister netting four and Brewster, Shane Sutherland and Zander Sutherland with one apiece. The back line were well marshalled by Jamie Duff and Guy Kerr in the centre of defence with Under 19 full backs Sean Porter and Graeme Shinnie gaining some good experience in the full back positions against a dogged Brora side. ICT Team McNulty Porter, Duff, Kerr, Shinnie Leslie, Gillespie, Morrison, Z.Sutherland Brewster, McAllister Subs: S.Sutherland for Brewster, Brewster for McAllister, Scott-Woodhouse for Porter, Ross for Morrison

No, we have a perfectly good up and coming keeper now, his name is Mike Fraser. :021:

You are too kind to us mad. Was that pretty much the County first choice team for this season? Our defence will change until we find the correct blend. Probably starting with where we left off I would imagine, so that would be Tokely--McGuire/Proctor--Munro--Hastings/Lionel. Not sure if Lionel & Hastings would play in the same team at the same time, we will have to wait and see. I thought Daal was rubbish to be honest, just gangly and out of control, but the number 8 fellow put himself about a bit, fiery but also fairly nippy. County could do reasonably well this season, but it is a tough league to get out of, some teams go for broke to get out of the first division and fail badly so you may have to bide your time, Dundee have bought wisely this season and could be the ones, with Perth always a threat and Dunfermline smarting from their demise will be looking to bounce back. Watch out for Airdrie, Partick Queens, Livi.................like I said, tough league with only one place up for grabs. Enjoy.

Absolutely, it's a fantastic comment, comment of the year in fact :015:

Go on then, sup to you ross.

I can, I would dispute giving Evans three points, one would suffice, simply not good enough. :007: Niculae looked as though he was still on honeymoon, two points. :003: :003: Roy did ok, certainly not worse than Evans, three points, study him during games, he does a lot of tireless work. :003: :003: :003: The rest seem about right, although as much as we all want to see Zander teasing defenders down the flanks, he never really got going in the opposition half, one point deducted. :003: :003: Vigurs would appear to be the one most likely to make the grade from the younger ones, great strike for his goal, super left foot.

Not sure why we are having an Evans love fest, but to be honest he was just less than ordinary. Nothing to get excited about. He is probably a very nice chap, and I am sure his dad is too, but it's footballers we are after and I don't think he fits the bill. Unable to beat Clach or County defenders yet a Welsh U21 international and recommended by Sir Alex. No point taking him up here just because he was on Uniteds books. We have players of similar ability and don't need another one. He was trying...........very trying.

Yep, County did deserve to win, looks like we need to dip into their squad again. The ginger number five had a solid game at the back, Wood never got a look in the whole first half. Disagree about having a longer look at Evans, he did absolutely nothing of note, other than play poorly like a few others albeit second game back for most. For me, Evans is no better than a Highland league player, we don't need one of these, we already have Rory and there are plenty more up here without asking Fergie for one. Bin him I say. Marius did his best to look unimpressive...........?500k, we are havin a laff, he could not get the better of Counties defence, what chance of him cutting it in major European leagues. Black was our standout class act again, Barry willing to take the ball, Barrowman looks like he will do OK, Lionel, well he does everything, consistency will be his aim this season but I believe he will come good. Not wishing to take anything away from County, but would their starting eleven have been pretty much their first choice? I ask this question as we had Cowie, Imrie, Barowman, Hastings (some may say thats an improvement), Duncan nowhere, and Vigurs who scored a teriffic goal not starting. McGuire was another missing, although the jury is still out on him. Not an excuse, just wondering if they played first choice players or not. Whichever way you spin it, they still deserved to sneak it at the end. Yes it was a friendly, still hard to take though. Zander had a couple of quick breaks from deep in his own half, but nothing doing where we need him, in the opposition area. Imrie did liven things up a bit but I'm afraid Rory has learned nothing during his holidays and needs to be released or loaned out. Toughen up son or you better look for a career elsewhere. Jumping, if you can call it that, without looking at the ball, pulling out of challenges, you name it, he can do it. One half hit shot onto the post from six yards and a run into the box which produced a corner and that was about it. Sorry Rory you look scared to get hurt, it is a big boys game and we need big boys. Well done Richie Hart, the good form you displayed in the reserves has carried on and you will have a good season in the first division, good luck to you and a cracking goal last night. Oh, Tom and 12th man, that was no dream, not even a nightmare..............it is reality. Oatsy, what upset most people, especially the first half was our toothless display, we looked inept. It did liven up a bit in the second half, and we should have gone on to win after Vigurs superb goal, but sadly within twenty seconds, Fraser kept us ahead with a super save, but we still caved in to County, yes County...........not Rangers or Celtic or Aberdeen, but County, now that is a bit disconcerting.

Most irritating thing for me is this just provides ammunition for the growing band of rebels in our midst.

They came, they saw, they fekkin won. :010:

Oh dear, very poor first half from us, Marius and Wood were poor, Marius had one shot blocked by Bullock and Bazza had a penalty saved low down to Bullocks right. In between, Hart hit a pretty decent twenty yarder into Frasers top right, good strike and well done Harty. Must have been the wind mee that added ten yards. Evans was as I thought a waste of space. Still, we had five or six guys on the bench who might be first choice players. Barrowman looked sharp again, but this time he got the goal he deserved. Beating Bullock to a ball on the edge of the box and prodding it past him before calmly slotting it home from fifteen yards. Vigurs strode on to a ball twentyfive yards from goal and hit a sweet daisy cutter into Bullocks left side net. Goal as soon as it left his foot. It all then happened at the other end of the park. Fraser saved a certain goal a minute later, then from a suspicious position, County scored, much to the bemusement of most people in the stadium, but goal it was. We flattered to deceive and County stole it at the death. Long free kick from the left knocked in at the far post. We had the bulk of the possession but County looked just as likely in their counter attacking role and just about deserved their cup win, Tokely also blocked one on the line near the end. Well, thats what it looked like from the far end. Oops, forgot Rory sclaffed a shot onto the post in a goalmouth melee, but that was about his contribution.

Grassa and DJS are going up for a game :010:

OK Tom, we can use this thread for pre-match entertainment. Pretty stiff breeze blowing across the Firth just now but the rain has stayed off so far, hope it does not spoil the evenings entertainment. County fans reckon their team is up for it so could be a tough night ahead.

Happy birthday dear dargo is alegend Happy Birthday to you :003: :drinking08: :drinking09: :drinking07: :drinking10: :eat03: :football01: :music03: :music05: :panda01: :panda02: :party01: :party02: :party04: :party05: :angel13: Drink responsibly :drinking09: :drinking09: :drinking09:

Assuming they manage to avoid relegation.

Why are you having a personal attack at me. I made a post, big deal. Lighten up. I did think it was a rubbish post by someone who as you said has only partial knowledge of the previous issue. Perhaps I should consider my posting style..............now where have I heard that before. Crticise away, I am all ears.

Thats fair enough. He did ok at Clach without setting the heather on fire. It would be prudent to have another look at him in a match situation and against better quality defenders. He seems to have plenty of pace and plenty committment.

More happy days, but note the North Stand is not like it is today. championies 009.jpg_thumb championies 016.jpg_thumb

Happy days. Some people feel we are not moving forward. I am sure we all agree that some things could be done better. I am sure we are not all happy with the players we have at our disposal. I am sure the club shop could be better.................the list is endless. Some people are more vociferous than others. I reckon that the vociferous ones are more likely to post these negative thoughts than the happy clappers are likely to post positive comments (apart from Alex) If you honestly believe the club has not moved forward then think back to the dark days of the Third Division or even darker days in the likes of Brora or Rothes. I don't like to make too many comments regarding the running of the club as I don't know enough of what goes on behind the scenes, therefore best to remain silent than to print ill-informed nonsense. Very seldom do people return to the boards and apologise for their condemnation of goings on. So.........in defence of the club that we all support, lets hear it for the happier days, past, present and future. It could be worse, you could end up supporting Rangers or Celtic, or even worse, Ross County, the club just popped out of the second division, yet some of us see them as better placed/run than our own ICT Some people will always moan, we can't do anything about it, but why sit back and let them monopolise the thoughts of others. It's only opinions I hear them say, well this is only my opinion............happy debating. Happier times Crowd6.jpg_thumb
