Mmmm... a bit harsh Sophia, he has improved vastly sisnce he arrived at ICT, he gets a first team place(mostly) and deserves more, he has controlled his temper and his tackling, he was picked for a Scotland squad, and has been linked with bigger clubs, now tell me what more did you expect him to progress? Sounds to me like a wee personal thing here....

It does not come as a great surprise to me, the new manager was always going to want his own people in the set up, think Parkie was asked to stay on with Brew for a ' settling in ' spell. So we can only wait and see what the south wind brings up.

'I am not sure if they did play 4 - 5 - 1. Mehmet and Kean are both "strikers" so perhaps they had 2 up front?' Mmm looked to me like Kean was much deeper, maybe 4 4 1 1 eh? :004:

Did you not even rate Marius Andrew? Hastings did ok, but still has this awful tendency to give attacking players way too much space, cant remember the last time i saw him block a cross. Thought our midfield were overran on saturday, they played 451 and we didnt seem to adjust to combat this very well.

Funny how opinions of players performance vary, Daily Record match reporter( Ewan Mcarthur) has Russell down as M.O.M., While Nicolae has only 3 points, and he says about Marius.. ' Needs to have a long hard look at himself, a non contributor' totally feckin amazing, think Ewan needs to attend the match he reports on. Marius was in my mind the MAIN contributor.

:015: :015: :015:.... just dont let him find out where ya stay.

If this feckin rain keeps up there wont be a game :008:

Maybe not as dramatic as that Johnboy, but as i see it this season was always going to be a battle with the bottom 4 in the frame, our results against Midden, Falkirk and Gretna being the most important, we have slapped Falkirk and Gretna, we lost against midden first time round but i am optimistic we will win tomorrow. Believe!

Do i detect a wee bit of negativity Ken?

Dr Who?

' Oh, and he has decided to put McAllister in the squad for Saturday.' Aarrrgggggggg...nooooooooooooo :019: :019:

Well i'm not predicting anything this time, i have predicted that Marius would score against every team and he's let me down.... except the cup game vs Gretna, so if i dont predict a goal this weekend he might sc....

Much better now than when Scotbake carboard pies were for sale, think they come from Huntly now?

Wot a load of feckin shyte......... Maruis is one of the most talented players to - Richard talks a load of shyte but now he sleeps zzzzz.................

Entry cost is the same as last season... so you must mean Marius? he can only pay back if he gets a game! Brew fuc*ed up last week big time.... by playing Bayne up front with Denzil.. that was a waste of money.

Yeah, get your drift - sort of Marius st Nicolaes, the Romainian santa chap, Headlines: ' Will St Nicolaes bring ICT goal pressies this xmas ' :023:

Well he cant do much if he aint getting played, hope Brew admits his mistake and plays Marius with Denzil from now on. He was quick to come and condemn Rossco, wish he would come out and say what a shyte decision it was to play Bayne with Denzil.

:015: is that ok fer ya..? Think you're just happy to get ?30 back.

And they went away with 3 points.. :008: :008:

For fecks sake Rog... the steam must still be pouring oot yer lugs :015: Still raging on a monday afternoon, you should be like me, get it all out during the match then enjoy the beer after. :016: Yes indeed Brew took back a team which was minus 3 of the best players we ever had ( arguably ) which were never replaced by CC, He was left with very little time to locate and sign players ( unless according to IHE he knew he was coming back in the summer ) Now i'm not defending him totally because he blew it on saturday big time, i said that starting with Bayne and Denzil was suicide on a football pitch, i would rather see a combination of Nico / supershortmac / denzil for home games when we should be playing to win.

If he performed and played - Correct. If he was played he could, with Bayne out (hopefully) we can resume the Marius/Denzil partnership which has proved to be a bit more successful.

This, after all is CC's team, all Brew can do is work on fitness/tactics and motivate the players. I do have a problem with his use of Bayne/Wyness up front, it is rubbish, how i wish he could see it.

Dont know..sort of felt that way last night, calmed down a bit now and looking back we just didnt turn up. Playing Bayne from the start was a very big mistake, as soon as i got passed the turnstiles and saw Bayne in the centre circle i knew we were in for a shyte day. Firstly he should not have been on the park, Bayne/Wyness up front is a disaster. Secondly Bayne really had to be taken off at half time, A. because he was shyte and we needed to alter our game plan. B. he was going to get sent off, the whole stadium saw that ( except brew of course) Hastings had a poor game as usual, why do we play him when we have a better player for LB in Mcbain. this would leave us to get a more creative player in left midfield.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ positive thoughts.. :drinking08: Here's to Marius and his first league goal tomorrow.

:029: Kind of reminds me of the announcer at Almondvale... so feckin loud and over the top.
