I've tried this approach but, no matter where you sit, there's whingers all around you. As chibber said yesterday, it's almost as if people just come here for something to do on a Saturday. So true.

It all felt like a waste of time yesterday, didn't it? I don't like the way some of the fans get on the back of our players but, by the end, the team became indefensible.......... Utter pish but, it was the same team that played well against dundee so, i'm putting it down to a really, really bad day at the office.......

Do what? :003: Goalkeeper for for outfield player. i think......

Brilliant game today. Kerr was ****. Lionel is going to be the new Roscoe at this rate. The stadium announcer defo said that Allison was subbed on at the end but, i'm sure you cant do that. Dundee are nothing to worry about. We are the best team in this division.

I'm a non smoker but I agree there should be a smoking area. What about the away end? Do you mind if they breathe in your secondhand smoke?

Exclamation marks are actually punctuation. So are apostrophes - like the one you've missed out of "it's". Then of course there's spelling... where common errors include writing "grammer" instead of "grammar". To easy....

When I go throught to east end park, I would really appreciate it if you were there playing for us.

He's a football player, and we've signed him so I'm happy.

Renegade is quite funny sometimes although, there is an actual point being made here. Looking into foreign markets is not as easy as it sounds because clubs like Ajax, PSV, Young Boys, Real, Barca,.....etc have a good record of picking up unknown South American and African players so must have a good scouting system already in place. Anyone of slight talent will be picked up by the clubs that are proven at playing and improving these players. ICT would struggle to find a player in these teritories that the bigger clubs were not already aware of..... Ajax Kanu PSV Romario Young Boys Sonny anderson Real Eto Barca Messi and whilst we would be looking players of maybe about 10% of this talent, the scouts of the big clubs will pass the deatils of the weaker players onto smaller clubs in thier own contries so, we wouldn't get a look in at the decent players.

Did Scott Mclean go to Partick? Also, you must have played at the same time as me. :D I wonder which one you are then? Could you even be beside me? :024: Beside you? I only ever got to under 16/18 level 8 or 9 years ago.

How does negative, or positive feedback get to the club or players? Do they actually read this? The comments made on this board can't possibly play on the minds of anyone at the club. I find that so hard to believe. I trust your getting at IHE but he's just saying what he thinks, as is everyone else. If you go to every game or just listen on the radio, your allowed to come on here and give your opinions all the same so no-one should be deciding why one person opinion is more valued than another. The board employed the man that is regarded as being the man that relegated us, there should be an explanation. Yes, we are debt free but, we are in division 1, and at the risk of losing quite a few of our players. Although we spent five years in the SPL, we should be starting our sixth. Maybe if the fans had been listened to, and Brew was not brought back, we would still be there. We were set up to stay SPL for the forseable future, but that solid squad was ripped up over the last two years. Also, I thought user names were just a bit of fun, I can't see any reason for people to have to hide. Although, if I get a visit form Dougie Imrie now, i'll know why. Andrew Masson

Looks like it then. Only thing that could save it is if Kerr feels like Dundee have signed to many olayers for him to get a chance in the first team. Doubt it though. Safe, secure contracts are what players want.

It's an interesting point this. Look at Newcastle. "We don't like Allardyce" say the fans. "We want Keegan" say the fans. "We want Shearer" say the fans. I'm sure the vast majority of Newcastle fans didn't want any of these things, but it's the vocal minority whose opinions are always heard. So what do the decision makers then think? It's a tiny minority of nutters, or are these people the vocal tip of a similarly thinking iceberg? Hopefully they do realise it's (normally) the former. I reckon clubs like Newcastle and Celtic, whom both apparently have the greatest fans in the world, suffer more than most due to supporter opinion. Well, Newcastle actually. They must have an over whelming amount of supporters that can not stand the beer belly, sky sports sound bite, Newcastle 'till I die minority. That club has bad manager, after bad manager, apart from when they get Alladyce but, he gets no time because he's not Newcastle 'till he dies. Where do the Newcastle board pick up on fan opinion? Is it message boards, phone ins on the papers? Or are the board diehard fans themselves and feel the same way as the fans?

Agree 100%, even now with his status in the town he will always say hello when you pass him, true football Gentry!! and ICT LEGEND!! When I worked in a certain city centre fast food outlet AGES ago, him and three other ICT players came in, with a good shot in them. Whilst the others were being loud and a bit yobish, CC was still very polite to everyone and kept the others in check. What a gent.

I've e-mailed this onto people, because I think it's quite clever. One response I got though was that 1 KK equals 30 EJ (Eoin Jess), my mates not that bright.

Come on. We have to blindly follow to get a few vaguely answered questions a month? If people from the club take what is said on here seriously, surely they can see it's only a few people, with time on their hands, passing rash comments about the tiniest little things. Do you think the players come on and look at how IHE has rated them after every game? If they do, they shouldn't, unless they like a laugh. Do the board come on here to gauge fan reaction? They shouldn't, most people I know at games don't go on here, and never boo the team they clap, cheer and sigh. You can gauge the reaction in the stands. Boardroom banter is defo a good thing. Don't believe that we have anything to do with the answers though. Like was said in a previous post, an SPL club has to watch what they say becasue of the 24 hour nature of the media. Not enough news so they make things news that really aren't. I would prefer a Butcher banter but, I can't see that happening! "Terry, Why has Esson been dropped?" "He's a cheeky wee know all". Can't see it though. Keep the boardroom banter coming. It makes an interesting read. Are you allowed to post up what questions have been avoided? That would provide a few answers as well.....

I don't know if Butcher will get a chance to produce his own team as the funding may not be there. Anyhoo, you guys are right. He needs a new season for us to judge him on and using Robbo's record as the bench mark is fair enough. I was just wanting to point out that what is said in the WSC article, is all similar (apart from sectarianism) to what we have seen so far but, in a different league, at a different time, with a different team, and a different assistant. I am still genuinely hoping for immediate promotion. If he does that, he'll be warmly remembered here forever, no matter what has, or hasn't happened at previous clubs.

That one result was the one game we only had to get one single point from to stay up, thats why. I do appreciate that it is the points total from the whole season but, does that not mean we can thank Craig Brewster for the win against Aberdeen in the first game of the season? That three points kept us in touch with St Miren and Falkirk come the end of the season, he so nearly kept us up.

I agree. The only reason Yogi kept that mob up was because of our own incompetence......

But we knew exactly what we had to do in that last game of the season..... We just needed 1 point... 1 feckin point from Falkirk at home and we were safe. I know. I single point.

I do really hope we go straight back up, and Butcher and his tactics blow division 1 apart and I am 90% behind him, MM and the team. The warning signs are still there though.
