Kingsmills

Would it not just have been easier to tell me? To be fair to Caley D he has narrated the position in full at least twice before on these fora.

Good initiative but I wonder whether it will have more than a minimal effect on attendances.

No use crying over spilt milk but I suspect that if Brewster had been replaced in December as most fans were caling for we'd be more or les safe by now and able to concentrate on signing up key players for next season and beyond.

Relegation will have dire financial consequences for whichever team goes down Probably St Mirren would be best placed to survive having no debt and a seven figure sum in the bank following the recent sale of Love Street to Tesco.

Apologies, I didn't realise that this was an older thread. It's not like people on here to complain, is it? Not in recent weeks to be fair !

The main priority has to be at least one experienced forward.

The second half was dire in the extreme but the main thing is three more points on the board with Killie, St Mirren and even Hamilton being dragged into the mix. We'll need to play a good deal better next week at Westfield but the Falkirk nerves will be more frayed than ours. The Falkirk game is one we can now afford to lose while Falkirk almost certainly will be doomed if they do.

In our current circumstances the only priotity has to be points on the board and that was achieved today although I admit much of itb was not pretty, As far as Imrie is concerned, he is always enthusiastic and hard working but he's not one of nature's natural strikers.

The award for February goes to Motherwell's Mark McGhee which seems fair enough to me. I'd be happy to see Butcher pick up April's award which would surely mean ICT were safe from relegation.

My son's a goalie and it's been a bugbear of mine for years I can't get him an ICT goalie top.

Seems to me that ICT are no worse than many clubs in this respect and better than most.

He's moving back to his native Edinburgh and more than doubling his salary at the same time. Can't see him changing his mind.

My initial view was that there had been contact and that Russell was making the most of it. TV replays clearly show that there was little or no contact and that he was cheating. Russell is one of my favourite players his contributions often going unhearalded but his actions yesterday in trying to get a fellow professional wrongly sent off were a disgrace and are shameful both for himself and the club. In my opinion, having seen the TV replays, he was more deserving of a red card than Lionel.

My initial impression was that although Russell went down a bit easily he had been the victim of a head but. TV replays clearly demonstrate that there was, in fact, little or no contact. The fact is that he cheated in order to try to get a fellow professional wrongly sent off. I'm a geat fan of Russell's I believe he is one of our unsung stalwarts but his conduct yesterday was a disgrace. He should be ashamed of himself !

The penalty and sending off changed the complexion on the game which we were increasingly coming to grips with. The referee was extremely poor but had no option than to award the penalty. The fault for our defeat today does not lie with the ref but with Lionel. He had appeared a different player under Butcher but his revesion to type may well have cost us our first ever national final given the way other quarter final results are panning out. Lionel's rush of blood to the head may well have cost the club ?600,000.

Defeat to Motherwell may well deprive him of the Manager of the Month award for February thereby avoiding the curse that normally goes with the award.

I wouldnt be too sure. It might only be a cup game but Falkirk are going to come out all guns blazing as they need to prove that they are up for a dogfight. St Mirren are only 4 points ahead of us and 5 of Falkirk so if St Mirren get another few draws before the split and both Caley and Falkirk win then they it will be a 3 way fight. Killie (H) Falkirk (A) St Mirren(H) Aberdeen(A) Accies (h) We have every chance of winning our remaining games whilst Falkirk have to play the both the OF, whilst St Mirren have to play Rangers.If we win when they 2 play the old firm then we can leave the dogfight to these 2. I can actually see it being a four way fight with Kilmarnock being dragged into the equation.

I'm quite happy to be distracted by a couple of days out at Hampden !

Personally' I'd be disappointed to see us take less than 4 points from our next two league matches. Anything less would be a setback. 6 points would be a real bonus anmd would go a long way to securing our league future.

Never doubted that he would continue to be committed to the cause in just the sane way as Dods when he had signed a pre contract with the Arabs.

That's what I thought. Looks like history's on our side !

The difference may well be that he didn't have Maurice Malpas with him at Brentford. Neither have a particularly good record of managing on their own but as a combination they seem to have something.

When's the last time a team defeated one of the Old Firm and were relagated in the same league season ?

His doubters, myself included, who are expecting him to revert to type and have an absolute howler may, with a bit of luck, have a very long time to wait.

Is there no provision for voting for the referee ? !
