Their loss... we could do with their money though.

Still no mention of a new defender? cant believe that Brew has done nowt about it.

Or if you can get your hands on a souped up Morris minor.... 20 mins ! See ya in the Innes.

No.... heard tonight that ICT were attempting to get him on a permanent deal ! whether totally true i'm not 100% but the source is normally pretty good.

Dont forget that last season Dee Utd made Gretna look good, Gretna then went on to get beat by everyone else, dont think Hamilton can sustain that kind of display, It was theor first SPL game at home so they were bound to be up for it.

What, bigger than Wilkie and Dods? jeez, better tell mcguire to get his spring heels on for saturday...

You dont normally get much coverage on BBC website, Monday night will be the one to watch for longer highlights. Anyway, Roy Mcbain must have ran 80 yds from his own box to pick up the pass from Imrie, feckin amazin to sprint that far after 89 mins of football, thats fitness training fer ya.

Couple of mysterious scores there.... to give Mcguire the same score as Russell? Duncan was almost down as my ICT best of the day, Mcguire was poor, lost out in most of the aerial challenges, and almost gave the game away with a loose challenge on Mackie at 1-0 - he needs to be replaced. Also though Cowie was not up to scratch today, did not get as involved as he usually does, licky get a 2. Mcbain can use his right, he scored twice with his right, one was disallowed, he also had 2 other shots with his right foot.

I wonder how long it take/or how many Mcguire feckups will happen before Duff gets a game though?

Oh here! just got a big shiver down me back... the thought of JimmyJabbi & Hastings in the middle for tomorrow.....

Seems it has all been done with Bucharest, they have Marius, we have money, the only question, and the BIG question is how much is cost us to pay him off. Coud be that the board were expecting to be able to spend X on players but in unexpected settlement to Marius they now only have Y, or less.. It could also be that they ( the board) were going to use the money to bolster the figures somewhat..hence the delay in releasing accounts.

Think you need to stop the painting Maniie, its doing yer brain in..

I will be delighted if we score.... Cowie fer me

This all smacks of cheap! Brew has known that we needed 2 new strikers even before Marius went, and although he signed what could be a good player in Barrowman, we are left with this crap with loans for this one and maybe that one, piddly offers for first div players make me wonder if the board do indeed have any desire to stay SPL. We have also got a glaring problem in defence which was so apparent last season yet all we have done is sign a dodgy left back on a free, again this smacks of cheap, and does nothing to address the poor defensive record. As i said the old ' confidence in youth / old players ' is thrown out in an attempt to bolster confidence, which may give the media something to write about but thats about all. I will be in Aberdeen tomorrow cheering the team on, but will more nervous that i would like to be.

Also looks like nowt is going to happen in the defence dept, with only Rory to cover in attack we are indeed pretty short, Brew will no doubt come out with the usual ' confidence in his players ' quote at some point. Well i'm not so confident at the mo'

Aye its a different rule when the moderators chat about non-topic stuff......

See shyte refereeing has hit the olympics, the last sending off there in the Brazil/Belgium match was a farce, the Defender was about a metre away from the Brazilian when he went down... crazy

Dont know mate, some of that synchronised swimming can pretty nailbiting stuff...

Ahh so venerable one.. the old wise one speaks the truth...

Is there an internet link Mannie?

There has been no definite contact from other teams regarding Cowie, its all rumour, Cowie is looking for a contract extension and is rightly trying to get the best deal possible, his agent will have proposed that Don comes out with that kind of statement to put the sh1ts up the management. I think he does like it here and will stay..... with the right contract.

I have to say they got what Smith and his tactics deserved, to go after a nil nil and play a defensive set up is shyte. I also think that the quality of Rangers in general is poor, Broadfoot is crap, Weir is past it and Dailly is shocking in that position, how many times did they give the ball away? Anyway, i wait for the deluge of excuses that will appear in the press....

Scottish referees are employed by the SFA, and we ( clubs) pay the SFA for their matches. Anyway its only the TOP referees in England that get ?1000 our refs would, as our teams be equal to the mid /lower championship, so wonder what referees at that level would get.

Grant Munro is to retain the captaincy of ICT, Brewster said he is ' very happy ' to let Granty continue in his role as club captain. Brew says ' He did very well as captain last season and the fact he has got a seasons experience under his belt was another big plus.' Brew also said it was a straight forward decision to keep granty, ie no one else was considered eh? Fair enough, just wish he was more vocal and practised passing more....

I'm quite surprised they get ?575 per game - plus expenses, what a waste of money for shyte refs. They should be on a bonus scheme, make a howler and get money deducted, do a good job and get extra.
