Kingsmills

First the one positive; Walsh is becoming sharper as the season progresses and, if we don't add another forward in the transfer window; is a much better option than White. On the negative side, I can't remember a season in our entire history when we have squandered so many points from a winning position often finishing with nothing at all. I know that the quality of the squad is not what we've become used to but the players are often good enough to take the lead and the failure, far too often; to hold on to it is a failure of management and coaching more than anything It's looking increasingly likely that we will be spending a third successive season in the Championship. Whether Robbo is the right man to lead us into it depends, in my view, whether he can arrest this destructive tendency.

Modest transfer business need not necessarily be uninspiring depending on who we bring in.

He's never been remotely prolific at any time in his career.

Oh yes it would....

A happy and healthy new year to the entire ICT community.

For what it's worth, I am not your 'bud'.

Sitting in the house posting ridiculously bitter and angry comments as we were unfortunate to lose a game we had done enough to win against a side with double our player budget. We were all disappointed to lose the derby but some people need some sense of perspective.

and, certainly not for the salary he would be looking for. Seldom much point in football terms in looking to the past to solve the problems of the present or the future.

We were the better team except where it came to the all important aspect of taking our chances. A regular theme and, unless we somehow manage to secure the services of a more clinical striker in the January window, is one likely to cost us our chances of promotion.

A huge boost not just for tomorrow but for the rest of the season. One of the few Premiership class players we still have.

A sustained, serious and unprovoked assault on a young woman which he then tried to blame on her. I have to disagree. He may have been on previous good character but a custodial sentence was the only suitable disposal. That said, I sincerely hope that he is able to resume his career elsewhere when he's released having, hopefully, had time to reflect on the gravity of his actions and their impact on his victim.

He is not good enough to play in the MLS.

I'd happily settle for a scrappy one goal win with the goal deflected in off Ross Draper's arse.

Up the road with three points at least.

An away win and back in a promotion play off place. A fine gift to send all of us ICT fans into the festive season full of blue, red and black good cheer.

We miss far too many penalties these days. A bit more practice wouldn't go amiss.

I wasn't all that impressed with him when he was Over the Bridge.

Would only be a loan option if the Dons agreed to still paying at least three quarters of his salary. I can't see that happening.

Serious disciplinary issues both on and off the pitch in the past and a tendency to injure easily. Agree he does have potential but, with our restricted finances and small squad, I am not convinced that we can afford to take such a risk.

Currently at Derry. Would not be a bad signing in my opinion but, if at all possible, we still need to freshen up front.

It's not acceptable within the club which is why there was an immediate enquiry and "appropriate action" taken and a statement issued to that effect. Time to move on. There are some important matches coming up and, with any luck at all, some business to be done in the transfer window to hopefully bolster our promotion prospects.

It was a nice gesture. As long as somebody paid for them and the club didn't lose out financially, does it really matter if it came out of his own pocket ?

I have been critical of lack of communication but it seems to me that, on this occasion, the club have said all that can reasonably said in public.

and a large bag of apples.

An excellent and well thought out OP. I think that football is made overcomplicated these days and that a simple old fashioned 4-4-2 would suit our personnel quite well.
