from wikipedia "In 2002, Coyle joined Falkirk, being promoted to co-player-manager alongside John Hughes in 2003. After leaving this post he returned to Dundee United, primarily in a coaching capacity but also registering as a player. A lack of first team opportunities, however, led to him being loaned out to Airdrieonians' successors, Airdrie United, and this move was subsequently put on a permanent basis. In April 2005, Coyle was named as the new manager of St. Johnstone.[1] He is also still registered as a player, although his appearances at first team level are now extremely sporadic. In March 2006, he was awarded Manager of the Month for the Scottish First Division for his team's performance. This was the first time he had been awarded the accolade. In November 2006, Coyle led St. Johnstone to a 2-0 victory over Rangers at Ibrox to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup.[2] It was their first win over the Glasgow club in 35 years. On March 30, 2007, Coyle was awarded his second Scottish First Division Manager of the Month award of the 2006/7 season.[3] On April 14, 2007, St. Johnstone lost 2-1 to Celtic at Hampden in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.[4] Coyle signed a one-year extension to his contract with St. Johnstone in July 2007, which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2009/10 season." As the playing field is not level, how exactly can anyone say his record is better than whoever. Having better players than another team does not make you a better manager. Yes Brew had a disastrous time at United, that does not necessarily mean that he will do the same when he comes here. He also had a reasonably good time when he was here previously I just don't buy that Coyle would be any more successful here than Brew or indeed any other incumbent. Paterson who has received lots of support as well is not exactly setting the heather on fire ar Peterhead and his playing fields were in the lower divisions. Brewster has to given a chance to get us back on track whether we like it or not. I am not exactly overjoyed at his return, but then again he fits the club, therefore he deserves to have the fans on his side.

and no County, well not for the first year anyway :029:

Ahh, good morning, it's a bright and breezy day down by the firth, <yawns twice> I had a nightmare last night, I dreamt a small team from Dundee came to Inverness and beat us 3-0, ha ha ha (thats the same as lol for you younger posters) I have now sneezed fifteen times and blown my nose eight times and the reality is starting to sink in. We were beaten 3-0 by a wee team from Dundee <sobs inconsolably into his cup of tea> Looking back on yesterday, we have to a mann slagged off the teams performance, yet at half time the garden was rosey, we were attacking with gay abandon (can I say that) raining shots in on the United goal and unlucky not to be a couple of goals ahead. The wheels well and trully fell off in the second half and we could have lost four or five goals. Life is not going to be easy and we may well find ourselves pointless after the first six or seven games. Still, the incoming manager has a job to do and the players at his disposal have not become bad players overnight. The confidence of some of these guys needs a boost right now, they need some direction, leadership and adjustment to their sights. Relegation will come into play at some time in the ICT history, lets try and stave it off for another few seasons. All the expectations of top six, Europe, winning cups, come on, lets get real. We have probably recently witnessed the best days that ICT will ever have, we have all been part of it and for some it was not enough. <TM4TJ taps loudly on the screen> Hey you, yes you..........it's you I'm talking to..................I will say this only once, your team needs you, get behind the team for this is going to be a difficult season.................. .................and I repeat that for those that are hard of hearing I will say this only once, your team needs you, get behind the team for this is going to be a difficult season..................

And he is still making headlines.................. yesterday................Montrose had Gary Wood sent off for a second booking

Exactly, I'm not that stupid.

SMEE................as you know we all post shite on here at some time. Well done to you for coming clean and starting afresh. Brew is not the choice of many, but what other options are there???

you won't see them if you don't go down to the stadium.

With regards to penalties, does anybody know how many Broonie saved...............or to put it another way did not save. I do not recall him saving any................but I am an olde git. Dear Mark, please save a penalty Dear Mike..........

Once again Gav, you are in the zone Precise and to the point, but also truthful and correct. :021: :021:

With you there bucket, decent organisation will solve a lot of the issues. We were not totally shite today, first half good and looking forward to second half...........then the second half came...............

It did not come out right FoF, but what I was hinting at was it is a good time for Brew.........or a/n other to come in as we have sunk to the lowest point of our SPL reign, in other words, it makes it easier for him to come in and raise morale as we are now rock bottom.

Gavize spot on report. We looked good till half time then once we conceded a freak, you see about a dozen of them every season, goal, the heads dropped. Both penalties looked fair enough to me, no complaints there, it's the manner in which we capitulated that irks me. Niculae looked sharp in the first half, deft flicks and darting runs, whistled one cross into the danger area, begging to be put away, alas no takers. Header well saved, Baynes rasping shot clawed away by the keeper, ****, we were on a winner. Second half was a nightmare, we were again our own worst enemies, shooting ourselves in the foot more than once. Will need to see the telly on the first, but whoever is to blame will know themselves, Fraser looked sheepish, the rest maybe should shoulder some of the bleme, but when an innocent bouncing cross ends up in the bottom corner of the net someone needs to take control of the situation and lead by example, that did not happen and if Dods was there today the ball would be in row R. Game of two halves undoubtedly, the second being the decisive one. The good news for Brew is we can't sink any lower than this, and the only way is up

still blowing yer own trumpet old git.

Eh no, I'm eh not going bald eh, and that's not a word of a lie eh.

But Johndo you are a petient............... ....................aint you?

stay at home then

whatever less of the old :015:

Apologies boyz, too early for my eyes to focus yet. The third was an error by Tokely, Mike should maybe have reacted to the back pass if he had read what Tokely was going to do, but unfortunately the only person that read it was Ferguson, smart move on his behalf, left Rossco and Fraser looking sheepish, smart interjection by him though. Fraser was the only player to get pass marks from me for that display.

Ha ha, see that Johndo, what a wag, fekkin priceless.....suckers ha ha ha ha ha

Hey Gringo, get some posts in and quell this ill-informed and mis-guided rebellion.

Not all are opposed to Brester coming back. In an ideal world we would have the best manager in the world, but the world is not ideal. The ones opposed to Brew are making more noise on here because they feel they have something to ***** about. The smarter ones who take a more liberal approah don't need to rattle their cage as they know that the boards decision is probably the best this club can manage within the various restrictions placed upon them. Empty vessels do make the most noise.

Barry is normally the one constant in the team, he is usually the one to make things happen and always offers an option for a goal or assist, he still has plenty to offer. Zander is magic, he deserves a shot in some games, he can turn games with his trickery.

A proficient keeper would be a useful aquisition. Where do you apportion the blame for Rangers first goal? Ferguson shot from 25 yards and the ball went in off the post, how is that lack of communication?? Hastings was culpable in my opinion, as he never challenged McCulloch when he knocked the ball into the middle, but Ferguson unfortunately scored a fairly spectacular goal as was Novo's.

I borrowed yours His CV was ok when he left Inverness

Fair enough, I'll stick to football
