There was much debate when Butcher was appointed as to whether or not his part time position as Scotland assistant would compromise his ability to effectively manage ICT. Well I guess Saturday will go some way to providing the answer. Our relagation rivals have had a fortnight to work on any ongoing problems with their respective managers whereas Terry has been able to spend little or no time in the Highlands of late. For what it's worth, I'm fairly confident that we will win on Saturday even if that means winning ugly !

Far from convincing against a nation with a population similar to Aberdeen but at leat it keeps our world cup play off hopes alive.
-
Good on Burley and Butcher for taking a firm line.
-
There must be at least one outfield player who coukld do a half decent job betwen the sticks in an emergency.
-
Hard to see past Coatbridge.
-
It's fair to say that Mr oruc is not having the best of seasons.
-
Never mind, credit to the boys for making club history in getting as far as they did.
-
His cup record is not great but, like every other manager, the league is his bread and butter. Given how poor Aberdeen were in the half dozen or so seasons before he arrived, including Steve Paterson's season in charge, Calderwood has made good steady progress with another top six finish and possibly a European place still in sight.
-
Zander is a talented young player but I'm not sure he's equipped, in terms of stature, to be an SPL level player.
-
I'd settle for four points from our remaining three fixtures before the split. I reckon we will need another 10 points between now and the end of the season to be safe.
-
Victories against St Mirren and Hamilton before the split will put our escape bid back on course and, given Aberdeen's form at present, a point at Pittodrie isn't out of the question.
-
How are the club going to benefit from a 25% increase in crowds only paying 25% of current prices ?
-
Not a good day at the ICT office but not the end of the world either. Still 5 clubs in the relegation mix although three points today would have gone a very long way to ensuring our safety.
-
I'd still rather be competing on both fronts.

Having spent the best part of the last two decades residing in rural Aberdeenshire, I diina ken fit you're on aboot ! Aye maloon, but ye ken whaur ye went tae the skule tho! Now widdit huv been yon chiel Horne or the loon Ian Thomson that taught ye the Roman mither tongue. Surely no' the quine Jessie Thomson tho' - ye'll be far too young a laddie tae huv been in wan o' hur classes. Ach weel, as the say in Turriff "Labore et Virtute" an' keep chavvin awa' defendin' a' thae bestiality cases. Whit's yur standard line o' defence onywuy? "My Lord, my client understood that 'animal husbandry' was a perfectly legal activity." :thumb04: Coptright theft, as you well know, is a serious matter but, as far as I'm aware, the heirs of the late Granvil Paterson are not known for being particularly litigious ! By the way, the answer to your question is yon loon Ian Thomson.

Would there be any merit in the supporters club running a bus ?
-
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. Is this just Kingsmills reminding us that his Classical education in the Victorian pile at the top of Stephen's Brae has afforded him familiarity with the nominative case of a plural neuter Latin noun of the first declension? Having spent the best part of the last two decades residing in rural Aberdeenshire, I diina ken fit you're on aboot !

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.

I remember that one and I think Caley made history that night too .... Was this not the first ever Scottish cup game to be decided on penalties after one replay. In seasons prior to this, cup games could go to multiple replays ..... I remember it was brassic that night and I was stood out in the open between the Howden End and the stand as I couldnt get into the Howden End (too full) and wouldnt go into the stand .... My work colleague was with me and he was a Raith Rovers fan and although he enjoyed the game he mused that we would never be as good as the mighty Raith You're right Scotty. This old Jaggie was dragged along by a couple of Caley supporting pals to watch history being made !
-
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.
