Fraz

Here's to a swift recovery, all the best Chris.

Is it at all possible that people can come on here, have a vent and a moan quite rightly in some cases and then go to the games and support the team wholeheartedly? I sometimes have a wee gurn on here but it makes not one iota of difference to support of the team on the day. Players and staff get credit and praise when things are going well, it's hardly surprising that when things ain't going well people will have grievances. What I can't abide are the 'fans' who boo and give grief to the players at the games, it's counter productive and helps nobody.

On our budget I wouldn't think we should be taking the risk on either.

He was our 'starman' with a score of 7 according to the Daily Record! So we must all be wrong.

If the people who have the power to change things can admit to to themselves and others that they have made mistakes both now and in the past then perhaps we could learn from these, move on and make improvements. However some people don't seem to be able to do that (call it ego, arrogance or whatever). Can't see us having much cash to splash in the transfer window, so what's to be done?

I'd settle for 90 minutes without conceding a goal. Modern Warfare 3 would be nice too mind.

You barely ever see a meme on here, lol.

Yep, I'd have more respect for the guy if he could hold his hands up and say I've fecked up (not only about this), I'm the gaffer the buck stops at me and I've made some bad errors in judgement and this is what I'm gonna do to try and make things right. It would appear though that his ego will not allow this.

Weather is calm IHE im afraid. We are sitting back and not pushing up at all, lost our composure and organization. FFS DAVIS SENT OFF!!

We've not played badly, just stupid lapses in concentration and standing off players too much imo. Foran's not at the races tho.

Is Meekings out?

Denied

Begins in 2016. Great news, but what about in places like Nairn? They couldn't make it dual carriageway through there. I can't see it all being dual carriage way unless of course they make a Nairn bypass? It must by-passed, as will Elgin, Fochabers, Keith, Huntly, etc.. I expect it'll have shitloads of roundabouts like the Inverurie to Aberdeen stretch. Are they not building a bypass in the Fochabers/ Mosstodloch area already?

A bypass would be a bonus, at least then you wouldn't have to go through the crazy amount of traffic lights there are now scince the improvements. I believe that the A96 improvements would not be complete till 2030! Now is the time to start a campaign to get the A82 dualled to Glasgow by 2100. Seriously tho, at least those in power are finally noticing that people live north of Perth and that a decent infrastructure is required to support them and business up here.

Winter tyres are great but not everyone can afford them, although I think some places let you 'rent' them and they'll store your normal tyres till after the winter. Our car is a manual but one of the work vans I drive is an automatic (it has no winter mode). It is harder in the auto to feel the vehicle as its about to slip like you can in the manual and take action, all I can say is to take it easy and be gentle with it, if you feel it is going to slide, ease off, correct and try again gently, try to keep your revs down as much as poss. If you come to a complete stop on a hill though it can be difficult to get going again, but better that than sliding into oncoming traffic!. Get your existing tyre treads checked, any decent tyre place will do this for free, get a second opinion if you are told they are too worn, just incase someone is taking the P. Is your car rear wheel drive? They are notorious for being bad in the snow! My tuppance anyway hope this is of some help. EDIT- Crap spelling.

An absolute terrible accident, I've got a wee girl a bit younger and I cannot imagine how the parents are feeling. Get well soon wee man.

Fantastic result. We badly needed the points and hopefully this will be a wee confidence booster for the lads.

One again we concede just before the end of a half! Aagghh!!!

Oh well u answered as I posted!

Was Meekings dropped or injured?

TBH I'd prefer the A82 to be done before the A96 but at least the run to Perth will be safer and quicker in a few years.

A9 to be dualled, completion in 2025, better late than never. Hopefully some lives will be saved and will help business. Could have been started years ago instead of the Edinburgh tram farce, Central belt comes first tho.

TBH I think Butcher gets a great deal of backing from people on this forum and that us ICT fans on the whole have been more understanding and patient than fans of many other teams would be in a similar situation so I really don't see your issue there. However you can't say that you should back a manager with blind faith and agree with everything they do, unless of course that's your genuine view. Some people might disagree with substitutions, team selection, formation, signings etc that doesn't necessarily that they hate Butcher and everything he does. Dunno if you are still at School/College/Uni or out in the working world but just because someone's the gaffer doesn't mean their always right, trust me. Surely some people can look at the evidence so far this season - the results and say well maybe he should have done (and do) this and that? IMO out of the signings you mention a couple look good, a couple look mediocre and one I just canne decide WTF I think. If you are tired of the subject and wanna move on save your energy and just stop posting (on that particular topic, not everything obviously lol)! As for a 'new dawn' I'll wait till we start racking up points and stop propping up the table before I start buying into anything close to that!! I suppose though 'It's always darkest before the dawn' :biggrin:

I'm not sure if this post is a general comment or a response to mine, regardless it's not just about any particular player however yes some do of course stand out but a general lack of foresight/planning, knowing decisively who he wanted out but having no idea who he wanted in. You don't quit your job and sell your house without a plan of what you are going to do next, do you? I agree Meekings looks a prospect so hopefully he will help plug the gaps that have been left. I so happy that you are not going to whinge at TB's decisions because because 'you don't think it matters' but the facts and evidence so far this season would suggest otherwise, of course if we were sitting in sixth or seventh place no-one would be complaining (probably). Ironically you seem to mention Munro & Duncan more than anyone!
