Probably not the role Hughes had in mind when decided that he couldn't fulfil his ambitions at ICT.
-
As far as I'm aware, Wyness and Bavidge are the only ones still playing football, both getting close to 40 now.

Feb 8th 2000 - the date I made my very first mobile phone call! Didn't have my own phone back then so borrowed one on the way back to the car in order to inform various people what had just happened!

He was on the bench at Hamilton. But yes, completely dropped on Saturday, with the likes of Boden and Ebbe making the bench ahead of him. It's only a few weeks since he was given a contract extension.
-
One of his teammates there is ex-County forward Kevin Luckassen, who is on 2 goals (2 more than he got at County!) The club's top scorer is only on 4, so you can see why they signed another striker.

Remember the season when that joke of a side Gretna were in the top flight and went into administration? Their longest winless run was merely 10, not 13+, and at this stage of the season they had 3 wins, same as us. Just saying!

Leaking more than our defence?!
-
Not sure I quite subscribe to the logic in that statement. The onus is on us to gain ground on these other sides, and as every every match goes by without us narrowing the gap, the likelihood of relegation increases. Saturday might have been an improved performance but is was ultimately another poor result.

The 2nd half comeback leaves us with a bit of a feel good factor, but games are played over 90 minutes and on the whole that result just wasn't good enough. 13 without a win and still rooted to the bottom, with much harder fixtures coming up.

A phrase which reminds us of the importance of commas!

Great stuff to come back to 2-2, and it's great to finally see such a spirited performance from ICT. But do we keep going all out for the win or take a draw? Got to keep attacking, surely.

Presumably it's not the done thing to sack the manager at half time.

I think that is what is known as "faint praise"
-
I honestly don't think our players would know what to do if they scored first!

News on our former assistant Russell Latapy. Trinidad & Tobago got a new manager in December and in early January he appointed Latapy as one of his Assistant Coaches. They lost 2 games in a week and the manager resigned. Latapy was shortlisted and interviewed for the post, but didn't get it.

RiG, can I just make you aware that I'll be going out on the lash the night before the game. I trust this won't be a problem.
-
Best solution for all would be for another club to come in and offer us compensation for Foran to become their manager, and for him to accept their advances provided he can take Rice with him.
-
Oops, I've added that in now.

ICT's first 20 years were an almost continuous upward trajectory under a number of very successful managers, so it's rather curious to see that none of them are currently managers, at any decent level anyway. The only one working as a manager is the legendary Steve Paterson at junior side Dufftown. (He most recently made the news for posting drunken messages on Whats App saying he was going to blow up the houses of fans who criticised him.) Brewster is doing ok as Assistant at Plymouth, but has to work under Derek Adams. Baltacha does youth coaching for Charlton, whilst Christie does youth development and lottery work for ICT. As far as I can see John Robertson isn't doing anything in football, and strangest of all, our most successful and high profile managers, Butcher and Hughes, are both long term unemployed as managers.
-
Lots of mentions of Foran having a 4 year contract, but there will almost certainly be performance criteria and termination clauses that will make his payoff less costly than paying up the full remainder of his contract.
-
I've added a poll to this poll.
-
We are in a no win situation - literally!
-
Foran clearly cannot get the best out of these players, so we either have to replace the players or replace the manager.

The post-match interview is telling. Putting aside whether it is the fault of players or management, given in our predicament and the importance of the game, if players are hiding and bottling it, it's all over.

Shoes off.
