Kingsmills

He will not resign and frankly I don't blame him for that. Why would he give up a well paid job with no serious prospect of getting back into football management given his poor record at two different clubs ? The decision lies with the board.

There does sem to be a fair bit of that which is a pity.

When I first saw Jim he was playing in attack and I have to say that as a forward he was a great 'keeper !

The fact that Celtic appear to be lining up a bid for Dundee United's Polish 'keeper can't be good news for Mark.

Did you go in the end ?

I agree that we should probably be resting Wood for a game or two.

If someone offered me five or six times my current salary guaranteed for three years I have to say that I would be very tempted no matter what the potential effect on my long term career.

It seems to me that whenever the players are unshackled from the rigid system they are usually asked to adopt they tend to do pretty well by and large.

Last night seemed to be a case in point even between the first and second halves.

Hearts are still inconsistent. They've had a couple of decent matches. They're due a poor one. The question is, even if they do play poorly, can we take advantage ?

We native Highlanders would need an interpretor for the post match interviews.

Who scored our 100th ?

If it was a magic bus it wouldn't have taken it's passangers to watch last night's dross.

I'd stick by Hastings, for the time being at least. He is going through a poor spell but he's a capable defender at the prime of his career who will come good again

Despite our late equaliser that has to go down as two points lst rather than a point gained. We cannot afford to drop points, as we have, to the likes of Hamilton, St Mirren and Falkirk at home.

IHE speaks much sense, at least on occasions !

There's no doubt that Yogi adds a bit of clour whenever he's in the dugout !

Rooney and Barowman up front in an outright 4-4-2

Like Barry Wilson before him, he seems to do landmark goals.

I wasn't at the game but from what I've heard I think that Caley D is pretty well spot on with his observations. The one comfort about last night's set of results is that we're a further point ahead of Hamilton which might just be crucial come the end of the season.

There's no reason why we shouldn't beat both Falkirk and a very inconsistent Hearts team at home. However I'd be very surprised indeed if we did.

Actually, I do think that ICT have played at their best or close to their best on occasion since Brewster returned, the home victory anainst Celtic last season and the first game of this season at Pittodrie come to mind. The players clearly have the potential to hold their own against anyone in the division. That's why it's so frustrating that such perfromances in the last two seasons have been so few and far between. It's inevitable that any side will have off days and poor performances but since Brewster returned for every game where the team have played to their potential there seem to be five or six where the players seem less than motivated and the team tactically naive. In my opinion, the fault for that lies squrely with the managemtnt and coaching team with prime responsiblity being Brewster's. We had a rare competent and tactically proficient performance against Hibs. Our next three matches are all agaist opposition we should be capable of beating if we play to our potential. My fear is that we will revert to type and follow our hard earned victory at Easter Road with the usual dross. If I'm wrong and we do perform competently in these matches then maybe, just maybe, Brewster has a future as manager of this club. If not, then what more evidence will the Board need that it's time for a change ?

The excercise will do you good !

That will be a tougher challenge especially away from home.

I suppose that there is an incentive for all three to try to make an even bigger impression at first team level If they do then Billy Stark will not be able to continue to ignore them.
