Terry has been part of a team at ICT - he has contributed to our success, not been the sole reason. His Ego may have elevated him into presenting that view but no man is bigger than the team.

I certainly support Maurice as Terry's replacement as Manager. He is definitely staying because Hibs would have to pay double compensation for his services: http://ictfc.com/news/events/1072-big-fat-xmas-quiz Joking apart, he probably realises that Terry wants a couple of years sampling the best restaurants and wine bars in Edinburgh before continuing his media work. For Terry to end his managerial career as the next sacked Manager of Hibs is as predictable as the Duke of Edinburgh remarrying again. Maurice still wants a future as a Manager or Coach and he certainly created real freshness in the team yesterday. We do not know the full facts behind his managerial career at Motherwell and Swindon but in the Highlands he, right now, is the safest bet. I am sure he can operate without Butcher.

Just back and that was a magnificent display from the team, Maurice, Steve and Duncan plus Physio, and our support. The players were really refreshed as if a burden had been lifted from their shoulders. If ICT offer Maurice and Steve new posts - certainly Maurice as Manager - we can move forward again. Maurice must take great great credit for his conduct and well chosen words in the last few days. He must have played a part in keeping the players focussed too. That was a really great game to watch and a massive turnaround from the St Johnstone game when Terry's wanderlust may have re-emerged.

Levein and Robertson?

This is bringing two sets of supporters closer together until 3.00 pm tomorrow...

We beat Hibs 3-0, then completely underestimate St Johnstone, lose 'bizarrely' to Partick, incur unnecessary bookings in an abandoned game, participate in a brawl that brings us a reprieve but Terry loses the head and is sent to the stand with an ex-Hibee, scrape past Killie then Terry and Mo turn turtle after the BBC seem to know before that game....or did they turn when people were asking why we were going through a sticky spell? Answers on a post card to Maurice Malpass ICT Christmas Quizmaster sorry AN Other Christmas Quizmaster.

Cut the negativity. These guys will not succeed at Hibs. ICT never lies down and history is likely to result with them falling on their swords in a few years time after yet another defeat by ICT. When Rangers return to the top flight in two years time, there will be little room for Hibs to be successful. Even next year Rangers will be a major force in cup competitions. The ICT formula will not work at Hibs. Ross County may well eliminate them from the Scottish Cup this year then what do they play for? A management team driven by short term increased salaries!!

History waits for no man and woman.

County fans think ICTFC from the moment they wake up until they go to sheep

Hopefully this is a brilliant stunt Terry has pulled similar to our disallowed goal against Partick. If not it is certainly putting the skitters up Hibs.net.

'.....due to Butcher and ICT not wanting him in the home dugout on Saturday.' You can understand why we do not want him in the home dugout on Saturday. He is in enough trouble after the Dundee United game so drifting over the line of the opponents technical area and sitting in the home dugout would not endear him to Jimmy Nic nor the Hibs fans. It would look funny though.

Lesson 2 Warming the bench

Terry was seen leaving the stadium yesterday afternoon ostensibly heading for Edinburgh. Today the BBC indicate he is in Edinburgh. That might indicate we will hear tonight if he is going or of if he has taken the sensible option and returned to ICT to maximise what he has started.

Doncaster - Terry do the honourable thing. The hand of God is impressed with your work and life in the Highlands. Do not give it up. Salmond - As a Hearts supporter Terry, they have little respect for ex-Rangers players. Say no pal. Lawwel - Stick with your Inverness family. You will always be a winner there. At Hibs it will end in heartache.

Three Porkies in ''Come on Weight Watchers, sponsor us'' appeal.

I think the BBC has got it all wong because I am told Chinese State Television has been broadcasting Terry saying he has agreed tactics for the game on Saturday but is not telling anyone. 61 year old Rick Chung, speaking exclusively from his Wok in Paisley Town, said he was actually confuscius by the position because he no speak any lingo proper. He felt Hibs were actually dim sums. Reporter Dewar, meantime is looking a bit wong kei after peking through the window at Easter Road and concluding that their butcher had agreed terms. Kenny Cameron certainly believes she has got it ho lee wong. Mr Cameron indicated that Miss Dewar was wisky in her report. Let's hope Terry is not gung ho and Billy 'I'm going to break my peking scoring duck this Saturday in Leith' Mackay rises above this episode in our history.

Dundee United or Dundee might be our destiny.

Hibs Managers operate between AGMS. Our best response is to go there next week and give the best performance in our history.

..all with tailored passes from Draper. That would be Tremarco or Brill. Hopefully Mackay will Shinnie a few passes too or maybe a goal. Ross wrong in that you ask? In Meekings our targets Butcher will require Watkins to make accurate Malpasses. That would be Devine.

With Butcher and Jackson also cited for misconduct - Jackson actually breached his sending off at half time because he came back up the tunnel to go out and call back a substitute for Mackay Steven - the league game on the 11th January 2014 should attract a good crowd to say the least.

Eagle4Caley don't count your chickens or eagle chicks just yet. Football is a funny old game. Two difficult games against Dundee opposition does not give us anything more than a massive challenge against a very determined Hearts side.

How often do we see people falling over in the street allegedly elbowed or punched? The Dundee United players in general - Rankin and Gauld excluded - were falling about on a regular occurrence seeking some sympathy from the referee. Play acting is a major problem for referees. Billy appears to be getting a bit frustrated but I rarely see our players doing a 'Neil Lennon'. On Tuesday a stack of Dundee United players tried this trick. The Mackay Steven fall was directly in front of Terry - a few feet - and the main stand. It was pure theatre and in my view he was the player who started the brawl. It looks as though he was withdrawn at half time probably to stop his being sent off. As for Cuffki, his armlock and hand in the face to the linesman was so blatant that he should have been given a second red card immediately. However, I think the officials were quite stunned by the whole episode.
