Its all opinions Ken.. Tmftj and i thought he was the better of our midfield.

Oh! almost forgot to mention Richie Hart, he was subbed first when in my mind he was the best midfielder on the pitch he was working hard, good runs and getting stuck in,  so he was not happy at coming off which looking at Russell's, Morgans and Barrys performance was quite justified.

Relief was the always the main feeling in my brain, especially after the Dons result the previous night, but we seemed to step up a gear in the second half.

We had some pretty poor performances and some did well, of the players that were brought in, not many looked to me like they would challenge for a first team place unfortunatley.

Barry looked out of sorts, maybe keeping himself for saturday? Morgan started well then seemed to drift away,Golly well... Russeldinho didnt do himself any favours, Caff was ok, seemed to be unsettled by Sons tactic of getting 'into our faces'.

Rory came on and took his goal very well, then proceeded to miss two glorious chances which were a hellofalot easier to score than the one he did.

Anyway we are in into the next round and i hope we dont get a wee team, but as we are seeded this means we will get Queens Park away... :009:

The fact that we have witnessed the shocks from last night will give the players a wee wake up call if they thought Dumbarton would be not be a big hurdle.

CC sounded quite serious on the radio in his build up for this game.. hope the players respond tonight.

Radio Scotland (Highland branch) reported that ICT were very close to making an announcement regarding a contract extension with Ian Black. :clapping04:

In my mind they are all a waste of space!  waiting in hope to see a good, fair refereeing performance one of these days.

  :33: to most of them.

CC says in the Record that he is planning 4 or 5 changes to the team...  which could be a good thing, but then again..  Brewster made 4 or 5 change for our cup game vs Ayr last season, and you know what that was like!

Maybe Caff,Hart,Morgan,Duncan and Bayne will be the five?

Morgan seems to have fallen out of favour this season, and is not a 'winger', neither is Zander Sutherland.

wonder who the two targets were?

' when your mind goes blank in the middle of a conversation'

Yeah, i noticed that about you last time you were in for a chat and a coffee, bloody shame... :016:

He has undoubted talent, against the Celts however, he flitted in and out of the game, some nice touches and one brill shot which the keeper touched over the bar.

Could well have been the occasion as this was the biggest game he has played in?

Pounds Shillings and Pence.

Remember near pissing me pants when an Auntie gave me a ten bob note for the holidays.... 50p for you younger people.

'after the merger half the supporters of either Caley or Thistle didn't want to follow ICT and still don't.'

Have to dispute that one big time Harry.

I was a Caley fan since the early/mid seventies, so i got to know the faces that went to Telford Street, you go into the Caley social club now and ask who amongst them wont go to TCS for football, you will find that the bitter ones are few in number nowadays, probably due to time and the success of Caledonian Thistle, and ICT.

Good comments Mrs Errrr Black???  nah....cant be eh?

Where did you get this info from? nothing on radio/tv etc.

Waste of time putting Black just in front of the back four IMO, that is a position made for Russeldinho for sure.

Anyway, CC was on the radio this morning saying that it is a big mistake to sit back and let Celtic dictate the play, he has a couple of options on the board to change the line up to put pressure on Tic's defence.

Cant feckin wait.

This seems to change for change alone!

Will this bring in more sponsorship money? doubt it very much. will it create bigger crowds for SPL2 doubt it!

Waste ot time and money if you ask me.

I would be seriously worried if ICT let Dods go to Utd and didnt have a plan to replace him.

We have only one player in my mind as cover which is Caff, all very well saying Hastings can play in the middle at a push and Golly is champing at the bit for a return, we have sold Proc, let Parrat go, so we have Caff covering 3 positions.

Golly has had it, how many times has he given a chance to show he can still recover his form from 2 seasons ago?

I think this is the reason CC wont sell Dods.

Oh aye... like we need left midfielders..

Mind with Johndos skill at reading the leaves we might see Willie bell in an ICT strip soon eh?

Its ... err  235877... wait a min.... sorry thats the Heathmount Hotel.. achhh have a pint instead.

Its a worry, quite a lot of window dummies sit quietly near me in the bridge end, i try me best to get them to shout/sing, but they look back as though i'm from Dingwall or something... frustrating at times.

Some interesting results coming through from tonights challenge cup games....

Forfar 2 up on Dundee.... ouch  heilandee

Parick getting beat at home by Albion Rovers - har har

Our ex striker Hissy scores an own goal to level with Ayr 1 - 1

Not a good start for Mr Rae eh?

He could sound a wee more enthusiastic, however would you want him to sound like the *** at Livingston? - now he got on the nerves BIG style.

Strange that CC says he wants another midfielder/wide player, we are in my mind needing cover in defence, and also a better player than Bayne for up front, ie someone who can get goals from headers, if fact someone who can score, cos bayne wont.

My missus turned into a nun the day after our wedding........

and there will be nun of this,

and nun of that...

and CERTAINLY nun of that dirty stuff

:015:

Only joking darling  :002:
