    Here are some more stats to add into the mix, inspired by this comment from the Partick thread. Here are our points out of the possible achievable against each team so far: Celtic 0/6 Aberdeen 4/6 Hearts 3/3 County 6/6 St J 1/6 Dundee 2/6 Partick 2/9 Motherwell 3/6 Hamilton 3/6 Killie 3/9 D Utd 2/6 Now, splitting this into performance v Top6 and Bottom 6: Top 6: 14/27, achieving a very credible 52% of points available Bottom 6: 15/42, a mere 36%. This would appear pretty consistent with what PerfICT shows earlier in this thread, whereby the more possession we have, the fewer goals we score and the less likely we are to win. It also reiterates the importance of getting into the top 6, because given our apparent inability to beat the poorer sides, 5 post-split games against those sides and you can see how we might easily slip into serious relegation contention - unless something changes or we adapt our tactics against weaker sides. Hmm.

    So basically anyone trying out the "pay what you can" won't be rushing back to watch us for full price?

    That's one goal in 9 games for our star striker only striker - it's not that he's playing badly, it's just a symptom of the way the team is playing. We will slide down the league until the goals start to flow again for him, you can't rely on long range efforts from midfielders finding the target as frequently as they have done during this time.

    Never enough hole punches either.....

    And everyone elses. The funny thing is, when talking about this kind of "luxury" foreign player with tricks and skill, there's a longstanding cliche whereby media pundits invariably ask something like "but what's he gonna be like on a cold Tuesday night in January". Well now we know.

    I can see why fans like pyros (I like them too, I just wish they were safe) but the one thing that puzzles me is this: WTF was the point of releasing a smoke bomb in the dying minutes of a slightly embarrassing 0-0 draw against a part-time team from the 4th flight? I can understand that there are times when a passionate fan might think it worth risking a ban or criminal record - but this was not one of those times, surely.

    Mutombo was our only source of creativity and the one player a neutral fan would have noticed. He (usually) has some good close control and has the skill to get past a man with ease, and the desire to do so. However, he is still deficient when it comes to the final ball so most of his good work ends up fruitless. I'm sure I wasn't the only person who was surprised when his shot hit the back of the net - I can't help thinking that any premier league keeper would have saved that.

    And in other breaking news, David Bowie has died. RiG's succinct post basically translates as "Fisher played in the first cup game at Stirling and again at Killie on Saturday - where've you been?!"
  9. Yngwie
    No, but I did hear the away fans singing "SPL, you're having a laugh", demonstrating a lack of understanding of the league reconstruction that took place in 2013!

    Fisher was taken to hospital for an x-ray on his ankle.
  11. Yngwie
    MOTM-bo!
  12. Yngwie
    Over the 2 matches, the best performance was from Mat Northcroft, the ref!
  13. Yngwie
    Job done, but at the price of 4 yellows and what looks like an ankle injury to Fisher.
  14. Yngwie
    Oh dear. This is not what we need.
  15. Yngwie
    The annoying thing is, if we'd won at Rugby Park, like pretty much everyone else has (Killie have only 3 home wins, and two of them are against us!) then we'd be 10 points clear of 11th and only one point off 4th. We'd be having a very different discussion just now.

    Wilson Robertson, away at East Stirlingshire in the club's first competitive game, a 2-0 League Cup win.

    That is undoubtedly a good thing BUT the articles can be changed at any time if enough of the other shareholders so desire. As an aside, the articles still state that the club's kit colours shall be predominantly blue, with red and/or black not exceeding 25%.
  18. Yngwie
    The Catto family own and run Scotlog Sales, so your speculation may well turn out to be correct.

    The natural objective of the hospice will be to maximise the income it can get from selling these shares, but selling to the highest bidder leaves ICT in a position where its biggest shareholder could be someone completely undesirable, a Craig Whyte or Giovanni de Stefano for example. It would be good if the donor of the shares applied conditions or a right of veto for their subsequent resale. If the donor is indeed the Trust which is controlled by people with ICT's interests at heart, I'm sure they'd have thought of this. Or perhaps the club's Articles already contain some sort of conditions on share transfers requiring Board approval or such like?

    Based on the last annual return, here's the ownership of our club prior to this share transfer:
  21. Yngwie
    I believe the only person/entity owning at least 20% of the shares is the charitable trust set up in 2000, whose directors include David Sutherland and David Stewart. Of the other big shareholders (Muirfield Mills, Orion and Scotlog) none exceed 15%. The identity of the donor will be confirmed when the club files its next annual return in March.
  22. Yngwie
    More likely because Christie's games were early in the season when our injury list was something of a crisis. His appearances also largely coincided with Lopez playing upfront instead of Storey.
  23. Yngwie
    Are we perhaps signing this Pinau as a replacement for Lopez?
  24. Yngwie
    Some fascinating stats on this thread. I'm sure Sneckboy will be keen to comment, just as soon as he's finished wiping down his keyboard and monitor!

    I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that, but I fear the attendance might now struggle to break 1,000.
