ralph milne

He didn't take in a physio, he took in a guy who was once a lecturer at Inverness Coll. He loved him so much that he took him with him to DU and then he took him back to ICT for a second time on a part-time basis. A guy much like his assistant manager so make your own mind up. Thank heaven these posers have all departed. That will be the same guy that The Machine credits for his improved physical performance that will ensure his career is prolonged further than thought possible !! Get your facts right before making judgements like that

You're right

Pals yes, best pals - don't think so. Telling him who to secure - absolutely, did it happen !!

And best!! All hail Mihadjuks what a great player hope he stays for a very long time. Yep, more impressive with each game so far - for goodness' sake get a contract extension sorted out NOW. I just hope that TB will be able wind GB up and point him in the right direction when it comes to contract negotiations because CB's attitude to it has lost us Cowie for a supposedly nominal fee and Black for nowt. Maybe, just maybe it has something to do with EARNING more cash, Why would Cowie want to go to Watford ? Scenery and a nice quiet lifestyle

what would you rather have ?50k for black now,or he stays keeps us up and saves us ?millions I think you've completely misunderstood my post Marty. I hope that Terry Butcher can get Bennett to organise players' contracts better so that we're never, or hardly ever, in the position of losing real talent without proper recompense - in other words, don't let your best players' contracts expire in the middle of a bargain hunt, something which seemed to elude Crag Brewster, unless the board are really that willing to laugh off a manager's requests. 4ize, as most people know the contracts had nothing to do with Brewster, its been up to the DoF to sort that out

They've- but for some pathetic tiff with DJS several years ago. That pathetic that Robbo cant even remember what it was about I'll bet you he can, no maybe not right enough

Stevico I'm telling you it wouldn't help, and also I'm pretty sure that Craig Brewster has played under as good if not better coaches than Marius during his football career so regardless of what you and others think he does know a thing or two

Perhaps you're right

Scotty quote He lost his best tactician when he replaced Park with Thomson and the rest, as we know was downhill from there. If your so called right hand man was undermining you continually as was happening with DP what would you have done if you were the manager? Let him continue? Ian Black ( alledged quote ) I'm a great believer that once you've reached a certain level you are fit. But that was Craig's way and he was in charge so obviously you had to back him. Sorry to disagree Ian but as a Professional athlete you should be ashamed of that quote. Take a leaf out of Andy Murrays book mate, I don't think he'd agree with you. Oh and by the way if you were so concerned about the little time you were getting to practice with the ball then you could have put in some time yourself (lets be honest you have enough spare time in your profession) - sorry I forgot you were too tired!! Only my opinion but if you continue with that attitude your talent (of which there is a lot) will be wasted and you'll be playing in the 3rd division by the time your 30 Ralph that is a total crock , I wasnt going to say this when Brew was still manager but Marius has played under a lot of top managers, including International ones, he thought the training under Brew was ridiculous, he hardly ever took free kicks when here as he never had the opportunity to practice them, as he said was training just running and worst of all running without a ball at his feet. How can players develop the basics without using a football, after all they are meant to be footballers not olympic athletes. I suppose he also mentioned to you then some difficulties at the training ground like not getting the grass cut for 4 months due to ridiculous regulations, or maybe that would be CB's idea so that they could run all day instead

If my right hand man knew more than me about certain aspects of the job, I would work with him so that together (as a management team) we would both prosper and learn from each other. I have been in this situation in a business sense and when you show faith in the ability of others to do their jobs rather than just follow orders, the outcome is usually a lot better than if you try to rule with an iron fist (tried that too - it doesnt work unless it is used extremely sparingly). And if it reached the point where that wasn't possible? If I was a useless manager yes, and incidentally I'd still be in a job now. Tennis is not a team sport, to practice set pieces requires....yes the team! If you were employed in a fastfood shop and your best seller was burgers and your trainer kept showing you how to make fries why would that be and what would happen? Brewster didn't have a clue about tactics and that is plain for everyone but you to see. Just as you don't have a clue or maybe you are Brewster which would explain a lot of your posts eh? Do you like my signature? It'll be there til the end of the season, how do you like your hat cooked eh? Are you expecting ICT to go down then? I'm certainly not hence my quote yesterday. And for the record once and for all NO I'm not CB

Muir-Jaggie, can you not heed the mods warnings? you are so far off the mark you ****, put a sock in it

Well said and also well done to the Mods

DARGO Come back

Is being bottom of the league and losing to our relegation rivals not concrete enough for you? NO, If Hamilton are above ICT at the end of the season then I'll do a Graham Spiers

Jim Traynor should keep his BIG GOB shut until he has something concrete to comment on !!

I think you should check your information!

Plus he shuddered in the January 2008 window - remeber the possibles that came along - He fecked it up. IHE, Sorry but your statement below is NONSENSE Bayne - would have gone anyway as he hated Brew and vice versa. Also, I meant that it is evident that Brew looks to Morais as being the new Dargo Sorry wrong again, Dargo would be the answer to that!!

He wouldnt come back mate not intersested Why? So he could try and pick the first X1

Thanks Stevo The Dundee United board did something positive in October 2006, when they were in the same situation as we are in now... No they didn't Johnboy, it was a ONE MAN operation Maybe so, Ralph... but it was a decision that was warmly received by an overwhelming majority of the support, and to be honest, that club has hardly looked back ever since. I mentioned to you before, Brew was the reason I became an ICT supporter - nobody wanted him to succeed more than I did. I'm really sorry it hasn't worked out... Naturally I hope, even at this stage, he will somehow turn everything around and save us from the drop, but TBH I can't see it happening. We'll see soon. P.S. There might be a better chance if things happen off the park in the next 7-10 days! Lets hope so

Sorry doing other things tonight not just this hence the delay. Yes I am a fan and yes I can back it up and before anyone goes and says go on then, sorry at the moment, no way. As I've said many times on various themes, debates etc IF you look at the bigger picture then all the answers are there, you don't have to be Einstein to work out why Barry is not a coach at the club. There is no doubt that people will be upset about him leaving it's completely understandable but he's not the first loyal servant to a football club to be allowed to leave and he'll CERTAINLY not be the last

i think you hit he nail on the head there,thats certainly why he didnt get a coaching position Sorry but thats CERTAINLY incorrect Go on Ralph....back that up with something resembling a solid fact or source. You know you want to. Cd, No I won't all I'm telling Blackieforce that he/she is wrong with the assumption. I don't need to or have to reveal anything even if I knew but I'm telling you for a FACT, Barry and Park were not seen as a threat

i think you hit he nail on the head there,thats certainly why he didnt get a coaching position Sorry but thats CERTAINLY incorrect

:o I am surprised that Wilson isn't being kept on in some kind of coaching capacity to be honest. During the interview I heard on Radio Scotland Barry mentioned asking Brewster about a coaching position. That was a year ago and he's still waiting for a reply!! There is an article in the P&J today about the quest to find a 'new' Barry Wilson P&J LINK Make of it what you will. I'm still puzzled by the logic of it He CANNOT give him a coaching position if there is not one AVAILABLE
