  1. Absolutely the right thing to do. There is no room in our club for such behaviour.
  2. What a great game of football with much excitement. To lose(well it feels like that) in the final minute of 5 mins of added time is so so disappointing for the club, the players and the supporters. Hope we can retain most of yesterdays players for next season.
  3. A good performance from most players and apart from Baird's lack of discipline and ability, ICT showed that we are making the improvements necessary. A big cuddle from Robertson for Baird when Robertson finally saw the sence in replacing him. The only weak player today was Baird!
  4. Sad to hear of Jimmy's early onset of dementia. Always thought that we should have looked at him as a potential manager in the past. A great character and very knowledgable about football.
  5. Once again Foran is blaming his players and talking about throwing out "bad apples" He is the worst of all. His man management and leadership skills do not seem to exist. He needs to look very closly in the mirror to decide what he can or cannot do! - Managing football is not one them. I sincerely hope that he has no future job prospects with ICT.
  6. Much doom and gloom. Mostly Foran is responsible but the board should have got rid of him several months ago.
  7. A good team win but Foran still does not really get it! Stalwart player performance for the most part but the half-time instructions were clearly to defend, defend, defend! A managerial mess as usual. We survived, but only just!! Foran must go!
  8. This is Sunday. Is Foran still employed as the ICT manager?? If so, Why??
  9. Quoting Foran "the players did not deliver for him"!! -- 5 minutes ago
  10. Foran MUST go now! not next week or the end of the season. The man is a disgrace who has no footballing ideas. Most of ICT players were part of a good team until Foran took charge! The rebuilding must start tomorrow.
  11. The manager, some of the players and the board must hang their heads in shame. How to fix it is a big question. - possibly 1. Get rid of Foran 2. Bring a strong fix it man like Butcher 3. make big changes ot the board structure 4. Replace the erring players.
  12. Taking a leaf out of his boss's book. Paid a lot, Played a little!!
  13. Worth putting a few bob on Elgin! 13-2 a few days ago. The way ICT have been playing it might be a good investment! I expect ICT to win but Elgin are well known giant killers.
  14. Every game similar comments and faults are highlighted by fans. There does not appear to have been any real change in playing style or tactics by Foran and Rice. Our record is now unacceptable. Failure against Elgin(our next game) MUST result in the departure of the management team.
  15. ICT won the cup and ended near top of the league with most of the present players, therefore the poor play and results must be laid at the feet or head of the manager and coaching staff. Foran stated the performances are "good but not good enough". Should we now be asking the same question about him?
  16. Probably the best team performance I've seen at ICT park. Large contribution from many of the players old and new. Certainly looking forward to the rest of the season.

    It is sad to see a good player go, but if there is such a real disagreement with the manager then so be it! I thought he had a good, but no more than that, performance today, given that he has not had a real run out for quite some time. He is a very good player and will be a real asset wherever he goes.
  18. Let him go! Been a drain on our very limited resources for last two years. It would appear his contribution has been his motivational chat - very nice if you can affort it, but we can't. So let us use the freed-up money to buy real on-the-field players!
  19. Do we have any pics of our own fans because their behaviour was similarly unacceptable. Principally some of the singing section. There was much abusive chanting against the RC team and fans, Police and Stewards, release of smoke bombs, a small pitch invasion which would have been larger had the stewards not been ready for it. Jumping on seats was also observed. The foul-mouthed hate filled chanting against the opposing side should be replaced by pro ICT songs and chants. I could see some small children 5/6yos and some children who appeared to be about 9 or 10. What kind of football education are they getting in amongst such hate filled abusive supporters who do no good for our club.
  20. Motumbo, going into Bannatynes Gym about an hour ago with full strip on. Does this mean he is or is not fit for Saturday?
  21. The "Young Boys" certainly sang well and supported the team in the ground, however their support for ICT and their behavior outside the ground was disgraceful and probably worthy of a few arrests. After the end of the game I was standing outside the main entrance when the "Young Boys" , more like thugs, led by their drummer marched along the pavement chanting and cursing in an aggressive manner. When they saw some Aberdeen supporters they charged and attacked them with fists and boots. It was very intimidating and frightening for me; can you imagine how the Aberdeen supporters felt! I removed myself from the scene but there was at least one policemen standing at the stadium entrance. I do hope that action is taken these thugs. I would hope that the attacks were recorded on CCTV. This violent juvenile gang can only spoil our good reputation. Their behavior certainly makes me think twice about coming to games where you might expect such intimidation and violence. I ask that ICT take action against the perpetrators.
  22. No problems with artificial pitches. SFA released info:- "On the question of available research, a report in the British Medical Journal in 2010, entitled risk of injury on 3G artificial turf in Norwegian professional football, determined no significant difference in injury location, type or severity between turf types: 17.1 injuries per 1000 match hours on natural grass and 17.6 injuries per 1000 match hours on artificial turf. "A similar piece of research in 2007 - comparison of the incidence, nature and cause of injuries sustained on grass and new generation artificial turf by male and female football players. Part 1: match injuries - again showed no major differences. "However, the severity of non-season ending injuries was 7.1 days on (artificial turf) versus 8.4 days on grass."
  23. Mutumbo was certainly MotM. It was the best I have seen him play. He was the play maker for most of the game and a real threat. Hughes was giving Raven a hard time for much of the game but I thought that "Dave the Rave" put in a good performance. Does Hughes have an issue with Raven?
  24. Watched most of the RC v ICT match on Tuesday. RC were far the better team and deserved to win. Mutumbo seemed to be the main ICT ball player and Foran ran about, but not very fast! Can't see him making the 1st team unless we are really stuck!
  25. Was the game that bad that BBC Scotland would only show about 1 minute of the game on the Sportscene Sunday night programme? When I looked at the website a few minutes ago NO clip of the game available! Disgraceful. Neksor
