you are kind of correct but its not quite that simple ... Bear in mind that the club cant just video it and stick it up on youtube, there are permissions and rights issues involved with putting it anywhere. As CD stated earlier, we will see what comes in the near future in discussions with Darren. we stand ready to work with them to create a separate site for audio/video but we simply cant do it without club buy-in as they hold all the rights and permissions and paying for those as a 3rd party would be a no-no. Scotty, I realise the complexity of this, but could no one at ICT see the benefits of a bit of effort?

Hold on here; he might have been a numbers man but he was GENERAL manager. This is an all encompassing role (as in general) So he has to take some measure of responsibility for: The "gypsy" fiasco. It frittered out into a public confession of a problem that didn't exist, followed by posturing from the club and then no action whatever at the next c*unt* game. The only end result was really bad press for the club and it's fans. Numbers? Any input into the Niculae numbers then? These are numbers that are going to cause this club a significant problem in the near future, and more bad publicity. Dreadful catering? Alienating Section G? A risible club shop that could have maximised some income with a bit of effort but then rolled over into another badly handled staff cutting exercise and yet more bad publicity. These are just a couple of issues from someone who has no inside track on the club, which is why I have no idea what CC does and continues to be paid for. I think it's somewhat just that MS has now become a victim of the shoddy business he helped create/ administer. See you Mike.

Pointless thread.We'll know whether or not we can win the league on the second last day of the season when we are six points ahead. Till then, there's no point in discussing it.

I believe a joint-venture site would be acceptable under the rules so long as you give the club 50 or 51% of the say. All ICT games are recorded for training I believe. So, they have the technology, it's being used already and they have someone to do the filming. Then they miss out the revenue raising bit, the good PR bit and the service to the fans bit despite any amount of goodwill being expressed in helping the "community based" club to take the idea forward? Who would have believed it.

Smee, come on. Sanchez made, or had a hand in two of the goals! Great to watch, passing was good and the finishing was great. Defence could have been made to look a bit wobbly by a more decent side. Esson steady. I am thinking that we are hitting a bit of form at exactly the right time. Only down side was Barrowman's miss right on full time. I was really hoping he'd score and make the muppets that continue to leave early just a wee bit sick at having missed something. As well as cheering off your side at the end of the game.

Aleksander, from the advert. Can't do a clicky thing from work, but go to "compare the meerkat.com" I'll get rid of it when the little sod begins to annoy me.

I suppose these trolls were bound to appear at some point. But after one cracking result? Go back to your repossessed glesca cave dwelling.

What's about inflatable whippets? or white transit vans?

Top of the league, six points clear, one game to go. That's the place to be. Everything else is just moving the furniture about.

Hud oan. Is there really a prospect of P/T football or is it just gobsh*te? If true, why is this not the biggest, angriest thread going. Why is there not revolution in the air? If not true, why is a senior player stirring it? Is it me or does this club get worse by the day?

Wait a minute. You'd rather be in Div3 than be a showcase for talent? Is that so you could languish there and carp on about a committee rather than a board in a small town environment that perfectly mirrors your personality? Every successful team nowadays is a business, and the more backing you have the bigger the business/ team. Hoffenheim know that, Chievo know that. ICT's problem is with the controlling interest at the club that mitigates against any inward investment because it means a loss of control. Savage battle? bring it on.

Previous poster said he was a "hunk" ? Of what, wood? He certainly plays like one. He's static, his game sense is poor, his tackiling isnae great and he's anaonymous for loooooong spells. However, Butcher signed = Butcher will play him.

I have sat through worse games, although some of the football was dire. Not, mind you, as dire as the officials (Imrie's booking, why?) Proctor shone, Cox was good Imrie getting there, Foran good again (why the substitution? He certainly wasnae chuffed with it) and Esson saved the jerseys again. Narius solid, but these are about it. Did any one notice how many headers Granty won against Bayne - it was none. Terry needed to swop that one round at HT, put the taller guy in against him but didn't. What was wrong with Roscoe? He looked a shadow of the player he was last season. He looks utterly unhappy. Please remove Sandford from the vicinity, he contributes nothing (apart from yet another opportunity for our "fans" to bitch at each other in public) Oh, and while you're at it get rid of Rooney. He's slow, one dimensional, his decision making and game sense are poor and his finishing was woeful. It could have so different had Proctor's late shot not hit the bar, but that's life. There's no team in this league that's streets better than us, so if we start picking up points it could get markedly better very quickly. Or.........

TBH I'm not a fan. I think he's slow, which is why he always tries to cut inside rather than take his man out wide. He rarely goes at his full back one on one and his game sense is poor. Playing the ball back is always the safer option. He has got a really good left foot cross (no right foot at all) but what's the point if he rarely gets into position to use it?

:afro: Brilliant, just a bit concerned they will be to thick over the bridge to get it. I just want to hear the sound of a few hundred pennies dropping. Mon, Caley D, get them going in time for the game at Mingwall.

If you were a teller in a bank and a customer was abusive would you respond in kind? If you did you'd find yourself out of a job or on a disciplinary at the very least. Butcher has lost the dressing room, the support and now he's lost the plot. Dude, I don't normally disagree with you but I do on this one. Generalisations don't prove anything, and if I was abused to that degree at work, I'd have the guilty removed before it got near responding. Don't suppose TB's got that luxury.

In reply to the OP, you are talking s**te. He literally bled for the team yesterday, and deserves better support than you are capable of.

Words of wisdom mate. If someone can tell me what a singing section is I'd be glad. In my day, the singing section was the whole f**king ground, and it was all the better for it. I'm sick to death of people carping on here about how their bairns are going to be psychologically scarred by hearing the odd sweary word at a football match. DONT FECKIN BRING THEM THEN. Leave them in the playground where they will hear and use exactly the same language. If they want to watch football great - but bring them in full knowledge. I've never come across such a self absorbed support in my life. There is no welcome, no atmosphere and no camaraderie. This remains the only ground anywhere that I've been threatened with assault by a supporter of the same team. So the muppets etc, are a side issue IHE - it's the fans. Full stop.

Don't know about a slippery slope. If you look at things rationally, we are no better and no worse than the majority of clubs in this division and I think that's proved by results. So I don't think we will really know who's going up until April at the earliest. Given that with wins against twa fifers we could be back up there, this might be a tad premature of a time to panic. I an't pro Butcher BTW, I'm pro ICT.

This thread is trash. Vigurs plays for County, I care not what he has said or done. I do care what TB has said though, and I think he's absolutely right in this case. I can think of very few managers who would not have put up with the incessant moaning from the main stand for this length of time. Respect? you've got exactly as much as you deserve mate.

Can the 'vast majority' (not your term to use?) ask that you substitute defend with tolerate? read the posts, absent friend, and tally them up for and against. I did before I used that term, and it's ours to use.

Explain please. Certainly. I'm talking about people like "mainstander" who use euphamisms like "the decent majoraty" (sic) who are being "chased away" through "hatred" from football by the "mindless majoraty" (sic, again) in support of a pretty vacuous argument. From the volume of posts hereabouts, it would seem that "majority" is not his term to use. The vast majority defend the behaviour of fans, even if in occasion it's expressed in words I'd rather not use, and as long is dosn't descend into hatred, bigotry, homophobia or racism. The OP was talking about the fact that the G word was banter, which it patently is and used by the majority around here. So, as long as they keep going to football, people like "mainstander" will be what they are; a non representative minority that are as free as anyone else to voice their opinion. And the big man's right - surely that's enough now. "euphamisms" (sic)?... try "euphEmisms" :D Charles, I was in a hurry and oh dear! I hang my head in shame. :029:
