  1. I probably feel the same way but sincerely hope that the players and management don't take that view unless or until it becomes arethmetically impossible.
  2. We won with ease, scored four goals and with a bit of good fortune, could have doubled that, we kept a clean sheet. Is it really time to publicly criticise any of our own players ?
  3. Worrying. Could be the difference of promotion or not.
  4. Beginning to look like nobody here much cares where Motherwell might finish in the league this season.
  5. A bigger crowd certainly. Doubt you would get a better crowd than those there yesterday.
  6. Agree with all of that apart from the last sentence. I like the cup to hold a bit of novelty. Accordingly, rather than play County for the fifth time this season, I would prefer a winnable home tie against a club from a different division.
  7. Tryst
  8. A good first half where the game was effectively and efficiently won within half an hour. Those who are constantly on Jordan White's back may care to note that he is now on double figures for the season with almost half of it still to go. We did ease off and become a bit sloppy in the second half but I didn't mind that too much. We certainly gave Aberdeen a lesson on how to clinically dispose of opposition two or more tiers below.
  9. Absolutely. If, as Mantis suggests, the going rate is £60, the OP might consider matching it for such a worthy cause.
  10. Do you have fifty pence for the meter ?
  11. I have not heard anything to suggest that there is.
  12. HT; ICT 2, East Kilbride 0 FT; ICT 4, East Kilbride 0 ICT; White East Kilbride; Longridge Crowd; 1,404
  13. Terrible when the ICT family lose one of our own, especially so tragically early, Let's applaud until our hands are sore and fill the ground with love and condolences for her family and loved ones. Might not be possible for tomorrow but a bucket collection for a charity of her family's choosing might be another fitting tribute.
  14. The very fisrt Scottish Cup tie ever to be settled by a penalty shoot out.
  15. It's not about quantity, we have plenty of forwards on the books, it's about quality which was not easy to find when we had a Premiership budget and is even more difficult to find now.
  16. A blog blow to our promotion prospects.
  17. There was me, when I saw the title of the thread, thinking you were looking for something much older.
  18. Great thread allowing us all a wonderful walk down memory lane. Scottish Cup has been by favourite competition since watching Thistle 'giant killing' Queens Park at Kingmsmills all of half a century ago. Never, even in my wildest dreams, did I then think I would be at Hampden watching a team from Inverness win it.
  19. Coming back from being 3-0 down at home against Ayr United to win 4-3 was good. A typical Pele performance. However, that was probably topped by beating East Fife in a replay at Methil just because with a couple of minutes to go, their arrogant player manager Steve Archibald subbed himself so he could take acclaim from the fans for their narrow 'win' a situation we then remedied within seconds before going on to win.
  20. There may be a few decent prospects in the Highland League but the quality there is not nearly what it once was. The league have lost big sides in Caley, Thistle, Elgin, Peterhead and even County. They have been replaced numerically but by generally inferior sides from generally smaller communities. That sad fact is amply demonstrated by the fact that Highland League sides hardy ever take league scalps in the cup these days and are quite often beaten by junoir and Lowland League sides, something that would have been almost unthinkable in days of yore.
  21. Probably have to wait for the Scottish Cup quarter final ?
  22. He may not have achieved promotion to the then SPL but the team that achieved that was largely assembled by him and played with an ethos and team spirit installed by him.
  23. That was disgraceful and, despite our diminishing crowds, the TCS would be a far better place without those idiots in attendance.
  24. All players are replaceable but we are a better team with Liam than without and I am in no doubt that our prospect of promotion would be diminished if he goes.
  25. The sort of complacency that saw both Thistle and Caley take many a league scalp when we were in the Highland League. A cup run would be a great boost to the fans, the players and, perhaps most importantly, the coffers. We are in no position to take anyone for granted.
