Going by the number of red dots, I'm guessing it was lost on everyone else There's a sympathy dot.

He'll be a vital brick in the defensive wall next season.

just so y'all know, I'm the guy in the middle. Bring it.

A midfield that contained Duff, would you believe it!!!!! Some would have you believe he can't even play football.....

There were four of the 'oribble barstewards in front of me. They even made me punch the air with joy after Celtic scored because, I was facing away from the game, as I was trying to find my seat, and they cheered, so I did. I should no better than to assume the tuechters sitting in the same end as me are ICT fans. I felt soooooooooooooooooo smug after Sutherland's technically perfect volley. F U! Linwoodictsc must be torn in two right now.

Aye

Word on the street is Tuffey REALLY feels like he has to get first team football. Could we actually get a fee for him?

If Butch feels he's made a mistake, he will say.

Is that top Six without the hat?

Happy Days. Selic can't even dive properly, never mind deal with Rooney, Duff, Cox, Sutherland, Doran, Innes, Esson, GILLET, MUNRO, Ross, Tokely, Eric and Morrison. What a night.

With the game being on tv, and quite a few looking for new clubs, I believe the incentive is there to prove the Butch wrong, and interest other clubs. For the players that are staying, and especially Duff (because it's all his fault, according to CTO), they will be looking to prove that they are going to be an integral part of the squad to move us on to the next level, which is only one place above where we are now. 1-1. Rooney scores in the dying moments, and the old firm try to sign him, ? la Scott Macdonald. Incidentally, should Rooney not be getting offered a two year deal?

And a TV subscription, is a bill.

Bravo. I need to wait for my greens to reset, and then i'll award you one.

That's dangerous talk.

Or you could consider the 4-5 months before that, which would make us one of the very best teams in the SPL. Top six will be on the cards for us if we take option A.

The only thing I don't like is the bit about not offering contracts for longer than two years. If players that are brought in do what we want them to do, we'll lose them for nothing, and if they don't, then we can offer them another two year contract, or lose them for nothing. I am sure the decision folk at the club think through all the possibilities, but where is the harm in offering 4 year performance related contracts, with a relegation wage cut? Anyhoo, good luck to those that are moving on but, as someone else said, if we want to move on and grow as a club, the manager has to free up wages for those that will improve us, and bomb out those that, he believes will not. For what it's worth, I think he's 100% correct in regards to Munro and Duncan. Love them both, but the aim of the game is to score goals, protect your own goal, and retain possession. Munro reached a certain level, and stayed there, but it never has been what it could be. I think that whilst Duncan and Munro put in 100% effort and 100% commitment, the technical aspect is a major factor that is regularly overlooked. In saying that, I think Tokely may get to stay.

The bus down was excellent fun, as was the seating arrangements, the temporary arrest of a regular poster on this site, the rumble on the bus back and the (fruitless) police search of the bus made for a very interesting day. The football (Charlie King) was alright as well. What a day. Imagine we had won.

I have to go with Terry on this, seeing as it's him that's the manager that has us on course to equal our best ever league finish, two seasons on from our most devastating season, which he very nearly rescued. Foran, Hayes, Gillet, Tuffy and Cox are all Butcher signings, so every player he signed that you thought was pants, there's that one you like. If he's not using Duncan, why keep him? There's absolutely no way losing a player we don't use is the beginning of the end for our manager. Duncan is a good player, and an ICT fan, just as The Butch is a good manager, and an ICT fan but Tel Butch has decided he doesn't need him. I just hope we don't have to play against him next season, or any other. Good luck Russell.

Maybe he's found another Dan Stratford? LOL.....for my money.....Best Post of the week!! For my money, the cattiest post of the week.

Phew.

DC strikes again!

That is golden.

I pushed the red button by mistake

Well, if anyone who was at the game needs my input, pm me. I like to feel involved.

I can't be alone in wishing we had done this to St Johnstone at Christmas time......but we looked like the fluid version of Caley again, and without Hayes. Are we allowed to vote in the man of the match poll if we've watched the game at home, or, in my case, at work?
