I'm searching Joe but don't hold out much hope....usual neglect !

Trouble is, the more I fill my glass the more the level drops in the bottle...... good job it is still half full! Happy and prosperous New Year to all connected with ICT.........................players' management, staff and all true supporters

Don't let's be too hard on Toby, remember Oor Billy's first season with us and the chances he missed, yes I know he got into the right positions, at the right times but those glaring chances missed when he was in position as our prime striker were shocking, Bless him he persevered and is now reaping the rewards for both self and team. Patience was the operative word there and I wish some of our posters could just find some of the patience shown by the then management team, this man could go on to great things if given the opportunities and backing that Billy did. We also have great potential waiting with Polworth, Christie, Pepper and Greenhalgh all readying themselves for first squad involvement, be encouraged by that but don't rush them on to the park until they are really ready to cope with the pressures of the SPFL. Foran and Vincent to come back in too so plenty time yet to pick up the points for a place in the top three. Again Dave back to his rightfull position feeding Doran and Shinnie in left midfield as per second half Dons game and we can get back to goal scoring business.

that was dedication to ICT personified, well done Mr Draper, you took the chance when many wouldn't, Ref should have been more aware of what was going on. I wonder if Rainbow agrees with that?

Perhaps the Stirling starling has eaten too much turkey IBM ?

Methinks the big bird has a ruffled feather or a spoon bill ??

Actually we have a pretty good strike force as we are, it is just that they seem to have lost confidence in shooting. They seem to deliberate too long on the ball and when the shot does come it is too tentative. At the start of the season they were all banging them in and they seem to have lost that. An experienced striker that we could afford would either be too prima donnaish or at best little better than we have now so I would stick with what we have got and get Yogi to sort out the existing problems in training. I go along with the bring back Dave the rave factor and play Graeme where we did during the second half of the Aberdeen game. I would also shorten the contributions of Ross, Williams and Doran and sub them with young blood from time to time to increase place competition and sharpness. Young Christie proved that point today with his short but very active role. So I say keep what we have got in the transfer window if possible and replace only any that get whisked off.

Doesn't seem to be a lot happening, a few chances either side according to oam only good news so far Dundee untd 2 - 1 down to St,Mirren

What ever has happened to our IHE............has he gone on his festive binge?

Oh don't they just love moaning..................must be near Christmas.................... in fact:- Happy Christmas to All ICT...togetherness is our slogan and along with our Squad most of our followers keep to it. There's always a few exceptions to every rule, that's what lets principles down.

Sounds like he az gaz and spouts hot air

Well my appraisal of the game wasthat we played really well up to the penalty and goal, to my thinking Meekings new little about the offence till the ball hit his arm, it was I'm sure accidental. We were suddenly shell shocked, From potential winning play we slumped into rabbits in the headlights, not intentionally' just lost our way to a team that now new they had the upper hand and we had lost momentum. The other three goals flooded in leaving a very perplexed team to go in for their half time briefing, which obviously was a ruddy good one. Second half I was delighted to see David Raven back in office, he had a great game. Equally delighted to see Graeme go into left half position ( which I have in the past said would be a good move ) It worked and worked well and we were treated to some really exciting football and well taken goals, Oor Billie excelling once again and Graeme getting his just reward for his perseverance, I think we all thought at one point that we were going in with areal chance of getting something out of the game as the tables had been completely turned, it was the Dons who had the shakes now................. How close we came!! All I say now is that our second half performance gave us nothing to be ashamed of even though we lost. We have great team spirit and a bunch of fighters so Well Done ICT and better luck next game, for yes it was that bad luck penalty that stopped us from giving the Dons a thrashing. Don't blame Meekings I am certain there was no intent there just bad luck which triggered off our breakdown. Full marks to Yogi too He managed to smile through adversity and praised the lads for their brave effort despite the loss.

Hearts holding Septic ....0 - 0 half time ...could do us some good if it stats that way.

It would be nice if we could afford to extend a few more contracts, our reserve force and obvious regulars are increasing in value all the time. Should we take seven or more points out of the next nine I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

no thrush though

Couldn't agree more with you Mr B., just shows their immaturity. Time for change in many ways!

Scarlet, if we get too close to winning the league the powers that be will find some way of deducting points from us. .Probably for living in such a remote spot or for having the audacity to dare to upset poor Celtic and their plans for next seasons Euro adventure.

Hope he has learned to differentiate between strength and malice by now............... We don't need a mamby pamby Ref for Saturday, it is going to be an all out battle!!!

Great stuff well done ICTU20............very well done

Well if it is the RF I hope he gets it as I am sure he will do well.

Ah didnae think yogi's glass was half empty !!!!
