    It does

    They've come in for criticism, especially from me but that is a good statement. A tad late but that is much better, much more positive and the wee extras like the league cup game and hospitality comps are a nice touch as well.

    Robbo, based on one good season in his managerial career 15 years ago. utter car crash since then. Do the board actually care about what the fans think on anything. Robbo would be near the top of nearly no-ones list. Backward/small time mentality as usual. This was the chance to start afresh and take the club in a new direction. Just such an uninspired choice.

    Is Foran still available?
  5. Sir C the 3rd
    Not seen it mentioned anywhere but we are playing Brora at Dudgeon Park on 4th July.

    Orange face of ICT

    I'd much rather take a chance on him than Paul Sheerin. Young manager, learned a lot and has experience in the league.
  8. Sir C the 3rd
    Toblerone FC. Worse product but same price.

    The list of names is in general pretty uninspiring. The number one is probably Hartley but that's not saying too much. Sacked by a team just about as bad as ours. Did well previously with Dundee but was that when they might have had a wee bit of money to spend? We don't. Butcher had his chance and chose to go onto bigger things. Or so he thought, so no thanks. Paul Sheerin. Why? What has he possibly done to deserve a job here. Utterly ridiculous choice in my eyes and would be as big a disaster as Foran. Only being considered as he used to play here, you would have thought we would have moved on from that. Darren Dods. Don't know too much about him as a manager but It appears that he's done a decent job at Brechin. i know the Huddersfield manager came from Dortmund B and that's out of our reach clearly. But I wouldn't be against a left field young foreign manager who has a decent record at a lower level. There must be someone out there better than Jimmy 'says aye to a Killie pie' Calderwood.

    * lose a terrible goal. Spot on though.
  11. Sir C the 3rd
    What a difference getting the first goal in a game makes. Good to not go home totally frustrated for a change but probably still too little too late.
  12. Sir C the 3rd
    With respect it's not up to Caman to figure it out. He pays his hard earned money just like Celtic and Rangers fans do. I know the club has little or no money but that doesn't mean we can't want more. As a season ticket holder I put my money in every season as a fan. What exactly do the board put in without wanting anything back? Half of them are involved in property or construction somehow and the stadium is a shabby rundown embarrassment. Even a lick of paint would do wonders. Get rid of that barnacle of a club shop as well.
  13. Sir C the 3rd
    Just tell us what is going on. We all pay our hard earned money and deserve to know. Cup winner to this inside 2 years. An absolute disgrace and the actual supporters who turn up week after week deserve better than utter silence.
  14. Sir C the 3rd
    There is no confidence, belief or fight in the players. That's is what the manager is supposed to instil in them. Amazing when you consider what Foran was like as a player.
  15. Sir C the 3rd
    Any other club and his feet wouldn't touch the ground. He's been a complete and utter disaster.
  16. Sir C the 3rd
    Resign.
  17. Sir C the 3rd
    Absolute straw clutching time.

    Hughes must take NONE of the blame. The board are the ones that made a mess of handling one of their employees! The board/club were offered money for him and Hughes himself made it abundantly clear he wanted to go. But no. So regardless if he later 'engineered' an exit (nobody really know what happens, although we can speculate) the board are the ones that put him in a position to 'engineer' his exit. They could have accepted money for his departure from Dundee United or alternatively let his contract run down. But instead they offered him a new deal, which if I was him I would've signed as there was nothing on the immediate horizon. But as it turns out he's laughing away to himself and away back down the road with a nice wee payoff 6 months later. He couldn't care less, and why should he. Money which we could ill afford. The club basically glossed over his departure (as in don't ask us about it) and celebrated with new contacts for Raven and Vigurs. Both of whom have generally had awful seasons. Everything seemed to happen so quickly after Hughes left that it all seemed to be a total knee-jerk reaction to his departure. That hastiness is ultimately going to cost us an absolute fortune. Again, something we can Ill afford.

    The board made an absolute shambles of JH leaving the club and let's not pretend otherwise. Turning down money from Dundee United for him then paying the guy to leave 6 months later. Its ended up with seemingly the only option being Richie Foran, who was a complete risk. It's not worked. Foran to a degree has been hung out to dry. Basically the club not having the money to get rid of Rice as well as JH has meant Foran has been unable to bring in anyone that HE might have wanted as his assistant. It's normal for a manger to pick his own backroom team within reason. I would it very convenient if Rice was his choice. I'm not sure if anyone actually wanted Rice at the club other than JH to begin with. Basically because of the Hughes fiasco, we've ended up with a management team who in all likelihood wouldn't have wanted each other in their respective roles. For all the boards reasonable work in balancing the books over the years. This expensive mess is one they haven't covered themselves in glory with. And they know it.

    I just think that this team has come to the end. In my mind we've had 2 main teams in our history. Steve Paterson/robertson/early Brewsters Barry Wilson, Bobby Mann, Charlie Christie team and the butcher/yogi team. Other teams have sussed out our players, tactics, strengths, weaknesses and formations. It's time for a total change and clearout. Time to start building the next successful ICT side. Wether that be Richie Forans or not.
  21. Sir C the 3rd
    An absolute car crash against a team who have nothing to play for. Anyone who 'still believes' is just lying to themselves now. We have been horrific all season culminating in that today. poor defending - check soft goals conceded - check No creativity - check tombola selection - check embarrassing amateur league control and passing - check A complete clearout from top to bottom is required in my opinion.
  22. Sir C the 3rd
    MOM v Ross county but not selected in the next game. I guess Aniers number didn't come out of the tombola at the weekend. i actually think we've looked slightly better playing 5-3-2, that's not saying much. We look a bit more solid and less like conceding goals. But it's all too little too late. Richie saying we'll not be judged on games v Aberdeen. Aberdeen aren't Celtic but he is right. We'll be judged on results against the teams around us. We've won 2 games against the bottom 7 all season. Absolutely terrible.
  23. Sir C the 3rd
    My last post on this topic. Absolutely nowhere near the ball. Utterly ludicrous to suggest otherwise.
  24. Sir C the 3rd
    It's about the only thing that hasn't been blamed yet! small k from here on in though, just incase!
  25. Sir C the 3rd
    Your correct. Yes, The ref was poor, but that in no way contributed to us failing to beat a very average Kilmarnock. We didn't do enough yet again. The one decision Madden definitely got right was brad McKays challenge on Jones. Frustrating as it is, It was a clear penalty. Boyd or anyone made no such similar challenge on McKay in the box in my recollection of the game (sadly).
