That's ok for me then. It is their careers their limbs and should be their choice. they have a hard enough life with being traded like horses by agents, dictated to by the whims of the Media and money as to when and where games should be played as well as being at the beck and call of the Management, some, it would appear quite unscrupulous at least give them a say on the safety aspect If football is to be made more attractive to the younger generation, something which we need to encourage into the game then let them see they have some rights.

Considering most of us grew up with grass pitches and inferior plastic ones then the consensus of opinion would be NO However lets leave the choice to the players of today. It is them that should have the say.

I like what you say CmiB ----------I just hope he hasn't got the pressure of a penalty to take, having said that I am sure he will tuck it away in his usual style. Great news he is staying with us !!!!

Whatever you think Kingsmills -------You always seem to think you know best............Perhaps it's because you live in Aberdeenshire.

Butcher had many more English connections bound to make a difference.

Utter nonsense Tansey could well stay with us and who says Josh Meekings is at loggerheads with the manager, he maybe made a criticism of one aspect of a press release but to the best of my knowledge that is all it was. Come on Kingsmills don't be such a drama queen.

Another devious plot by McInnes, a last minute attempted steal of Greg didn't work but the unsettling of the Club and Supporters issue is one that has not been resolved yet. I am glad that our Club are not being goaded into a war of words with Aberdeen, it proves we have more dignity than them. I mentioned in an earlier post that Aberdeen were and are envious of our record obtained by us in a short history and the successes we have had with a very limited budget. I am sure they are also concerned about meeting us and our spoiling their chances of a league top challenge. They may be a bigger Club than us, as yet, but they will never have the same Team environment and ethic that we have. Hopefully this is going to backfire on them, I have a sneaking feeling it wil.

Probably because Aberdeen are a BIGGER club than us and have more history.

I hope this rumour is unfounded we do need Tansey. If true I do wonder if we are the official feeder Club for the Dons ? they are so envious they try to grab all our good players.

Are Pat Nevin and Griffiths going steady, engaged or just good friends ???

Well done County, they deserved their place in the final. Boy did I enjoy hearing the wind being knocked out of the pundits sails especially after their gloating about the under 27 seconds goal and the Celts are sensing blood -----------They were right though they were, in a sense, bloody awful. Come to the Highlands and see the Cups

Renegade, I would if I could but as I have said previously circumstances prevent me from doing so. Incidentally I have enjoyed every game I have watched. Yes I could criticise on occasion but maybe I have just been lucky, the positives have outweighed the negatives and if you analyse the probabilities you can understand why there have been negatives.

With pyro he may just do that.

As we are still in the top six I agree with you Kingsmills if we are to catch those above us we do.

I may not go to many matches so yes to your first question he is better placed than I, however why does he have to be so negative about ICT, why does he have to wait so long before he updates the match he is watching (Twitter is way ahead of him with any goal attempts on most occasions) a good commentator is making the most out of a match, why doesn't he put the same emphasis on the positive as he does on the negative. It irks me when he stresses the negative aspects. It is bad enough having to sit at home listening to OAM without having a balanced appraisal to listen to. Having said that I am no lover of the negative in any case as well you know. Question two, maybe you have answered that question yourself ? Question three, as you threw in a bonus question at the end,---- NO----- and if he had I would have laughed it off and told him he was a cheeky B****r

I shouldn't need to explain myself Rimet however my comments regarding Barry Wilson were made objectively, He 'has never 'promoted ' our Club as such on any occasion I have heard him on OAM. ICT are trying to get supporters in to the games as he well knows yet he makes disparaging remarks like he did.---- there is no loyalty there.There was no need to emphasise the fact that we did not play well and discourage people from coming to Tulloch Stadium Christie!------ in no way was my comment derogatory. I was hoping he would get a start and I #hope he does well in his career, he has great potential but will Celtic give him a proper role in the Team ? that was my intended comment which you obviously misinterpreted. You, I see are new to the forum well I wish you luck and I hope you enjoy it, most times there is excellent reading.

Well we are back in the top six but we should have picked up three points

Barry Wilson doing his best to make sure we don't get a decent crowd at Tulloch Stadium by saying the crowd will want their money back and other derogatory remarks about the ICT games he has been to this season.-------------poor show from an ex player---probably sour grapes

Would be good for him if he gets a run out but I have my doubts.

Criticism intended only where the cap fits OCGirl................ I don't see you in that mix! and always express your personal views mostly they are appreciated. J H is an old fashioned Guy and takes it on the chin when it comes. He dishes it out the same way, I'm sure the players are ' man enough ' to take it, if indeed there is not good reason behind it. ---------Besides the mamby pamby stuff is not good for football. Kingsmills I didn't think you thought of him that way but i'm always learning.

aren't we all, shouldn't we accept this especially when we don't fully know the reasons behind the actions

Why do so many people like having a go at John Hughes, our most successful manager, at any given opportunity ? These same people are praising him up when things are going well but are so quick to chastise him the moment he steps what they think is out of line or the Team has a blip.

I thought he was referring to this forum.
