  1. And yet Foran and Tokely have been criticised all season, with posters on here urging Butcher to drop them, many saying they weren't worth a new contract - probably only Proctor has been criticised more. Amazing how so many seem to have forgotten that.

    The majority of Nick Ross comments too were of the getaefeck variety, how he isn't good enough, he isn't strong enough, he needs loaned out, he adds nothing etc etc. Talk about fickle.

    Really? Tbh I don't recall many people complaining about Tokes and most of the complaining about Foran was in the first half of the season after he said he was gonna score x amount of goals as was playing up front.

  2. How do I renew online? Sure it's easy enough but the old grey matter is not registering tonight, just can't seem to find the right p[age as I won't manage into the stadium before the early bird deadline?

    thanks in anticipation for any help

    type in eticketing.co.uk and select SPL then ICT, I havent provided a link seeing as a payment card is involved. Nothing in life is free so I would imagine it would save the club money if you either turned up at the Stadium or just phoned them up and paid for it over the phone. I have tried the MFR link on the HN article in the opening post but cant find anything for ICT

    You can renew online or buy new seats, if you want to change seats you need to contact the club direct.

    Thanks, Have tried that and it says season tickets on sale soon, ICTfc club site states available to buy online but seems pretty well impossible which seems pretty poor in this day and age as most other clubs seem available, even the renewal letter stating to try mfr.co.uk and quote reference number doesn't seem to work :furtive:

    I just went to the stadium, so canne help you. You would think it would be as easy as possible to help folk, but hey ho. You'd be best just phoning them bud.

  3. Season ticket's already bought and paid for so it's a no brainer for me tbh. That said I would still be utterly disgusted if the Newco were allowed straight in and I would hope those at ICT would object in any way possible in the strongest terms.

  4. Not sure where he says he's entitled to anything. Just sounds like he wants to know how he fits into the managers plans one way or the other.

    As for 'if he plays well enough (or in training) he'll be guaranteed a game anyway'. Past evidence would indicate that Butcher doesn't always think that way. ie some players getting a game no matter what and other perfectly good players punted when they've been playing well.

  5. Personally i view it as passion. He is desperate to win. He's always been a moody git on the park. He's not the player he once was but he's constantly moaning at players because he wants them to do better.

    I take it that's the same kind of "passion" Neil Lennon shows. There's nothing wrong with passion and being desperate on win when on the field, but a lot of the time it's not just regular moaning, it's fits of rage which do no-one any good whatsoever. It also doesn't help his case when many of his own performances have been rather sub-standard this season.

    Sometimes players need a kick up the erse we've had plenty players down the years who did the same. It's nothing like Lennon? Whenever he has these "fits of rage" it's because of constant mistakes, misplaced passes, poor finishing etc.

    when we are winning this still happens its just the type of captain he is he is a kick up the erse type of captain.

    People moan about the players because they " don't have enough passion" but the players that do have passion ie foran are to passionate?

    He shows his frustrations on the pitch there's nothing wrong with that

    I think the issue is that when he was doing these things, more so in the first half of the season, he was still moaning at others when he was the worst culprit.

    Every captain / leader has a different approach, personally I think that Foran would do well to encourage, support and drive the team more and moan less (which to be fair he does appear to have cut back on) as Butcher seems to have the hairdryer treatment approch to leadership well covered. A mixture of approaches in a good cop / bad cop stylee if you will.

    I seem to remember that many did not like Grant's style either as he was 'too quiet'.

    As a married man I can say that there is a difference between passion and moaning, my wife is good at one! :lol::hiding02:

  6. Hey, Scottish football would probably have been even more boring without something like this.

    At the beginning of the season it was Lennon abuse & his team struggling.

    Last year it was the referees strike.

    The year before the SPL had to do without ICT !!!

    What or who will it be next season? Probably SPL moves to a top 14 to save rangers from relegation!

    Two highland teams in European competition

    So long as we're Champions League and they are in the Europa! :-P

  7. I don't think Christ is signed either. I know an extension was mentioned at rhe time but I don't think it was signed.

    christ would be a great signing now if he got a cruciate injury perhaps it would only be a case of 3 day to recover :hiding02:

    But like many footballers, he's just not as good as his father.

    Christ, yeah he might restore some faith in the team. I heard he can move around the pitch in mysterious ways but doesn't deal with crosses well.

  8. Hearing on the radio this morning about all the City fans who left a few minutes before the end. :doh:

    When they realised their mistake, they tried to get back into the ground but weren't allowed. :doh:

    Oh dear! Not really got much sympathy for those folk who leave games early tbh.

  9. It's an age thing! I never had any rivalry with County. HL football was what we watched all over the place and we had a big team who we travelled to occasionally. Can't really create a rivalry that was not there for me.

    If me paying money to a club to watch a game involving teams I don't support makes me a supporter..........(bizarre argument to be honest) then, this season alone, I am a supporter of about 18 different teams!

    Why do so many find it hard to understand that it's football that some enjoy first and foremost? Banter next. I'll the rival hatred stuff to others.

    It's not a bizarre argument at all - you give money to that team you sit in the stand at their end, I don't know if you cheer them on or whatever, but barely anyone at TCS really cheer the team on and I would assume they would consider themselves supporters. As I said you become a de facto supporter of that team whatever way you look at it (or 18 teams in your case).

    It's nothing to do with RC as such. Put it this way if Inverness was magically transported next to Govan I wouldn't understand it if ICT supporters started going to Ibrox for a game, like I said IMO it is supporting a team that is in direct opposition to my own and I don't understand that. :shrug02:

    I travel a lot and, wherever I go, I try to take in games if there are any. I sit wherever I can get a ticket for and generally, I applaud if I see good football irrespective of who it has come from. That's why I go, I love football.

    The above doesn't, for me, make me a supporter of any of the 40 odd teams I've seen this year. I know who I support and would prefer to see win. Would I rather watch ICT win one nil at home to Kilmarnock in a dire match or watch Wigan draw three each with Swanse in a feast of flowing football? No contest. football wins every time.

    For some this makes me a lesser supporter. For me it gives me a greater knowledge of the game and the ability to see it for what it is, particularly when it's played the way it should be. Football nowadays is, in my opinion, full or punters who have no objectivity and little subjectivity. Blindly following irrespectively, unable to see merit in anything other than what they support. Not for me and never has been.

    Football is what I really support I suppose and I keep my dislike for rugby and cricket, my hate for Nick Griffin, David Cameron and Danny Alexander!

    As I said if you go and pay to watch a team with some kind of regularity (which makes you a suppporter IMO) that are in direct opposition to us I don't understand that. If you go to a different random game based purely on where you are working then IMO that doesn't necessarily make you a supporter. For example if I was woking in Glasgow for a week and was very bored and wanted to watch some live football I'd maybe go and watch a Queens Park or Partick Thistle game, but I would never go to a Rangers/Celtic game they are our direct opposition and I wouldn't want to support them financially (or otherwise). This is why I cannot understand why ICT supporters would go to Victoria Park next season.

    Nothing to do with you being percieved as a 'lesser supporter' just a different kind I suppose. Perhaps a kind that I just can't fully comprehend. I would rather watch ICT win in a crappy game than a fantasic Man Utd v Man City 2-2 game. For you the game is more important than the team, for me the team comes first. Though obviously I'd love to watch ICT win through playing exciting and entertaining football.

    As for hating those 3 guys, you'll get no argument from me!
