Johnboy's idea...
Personally I dont believe TB will ever take a role of DoF so long as he may have a chance to manage. DoF is a background role and wouldn't suit the up front attitude of TB. I wouldn't have a DoF but I'd give Pele a role as scout. If CC were interested in working as a number 2 he'd have done so by now. So long as the present regime are in power Robbo will not be back. To get us back up we need money and experience and a new board.

Crowds and pricing
I bet you we wouldn't and that the club would soon be on the verge of going bust. Still, your enthusiasm is to be admired :) Doubt it? Say with the family stand that even primary and high school kids can go there(even without an adult with them), let them in for a quid at least you will make ?2,500 on the day just from ticket sales because lets face it, that stand would be sold out every game. If these kids want to go to the north/south or even the main stand then they pay the ?10 for a seat. ICt's average home attendence is roughly abut the 3,000 mark(give or take a few hundred either side). At ?14 quid, they are only making ?30k-?40k(minusing the season ticket holders). So with this idea ICT only need to have an extra 2,000 fans inside the stadium to be making the same they would right now, and thats just under half the actual capacity. So you fill the stand with 2000 kids at a quid. Cost of stewarding and policing this area probably in excess of half the takings. Depreciation costs of your stand likely to be around a hundred times the remainder. I see serious losses in your scheme. five years to bankrupcy.

QOS -V- ICT : matchday thread
Any one of the small number of Caley fans who made the long trip south today will surely be heading homeward tonight with a great big smile on their face. Their team managed a grand total of two shots on target and one of those went in whilst the home side dominated 99% of the match yet could only convert one of their many chances. Thats the first paragraph from the official QoS website match report. Want a laugh read the rest HERE

Who Are The Promising Young Managers ?
Promising young managers...........there are quite a few out there but turning it to what would be best for ICT I think Charlie as head coach with maybe Rossco and Bazz. Do away with DoF and employ Pele as part time scout and advisor.

And would you had had the stamina to last 90 mins on Claggan Park. The only ground in the land where players dont need studs...........they're feet just sink into the quagmire.

QOS -V- ICT : matchday thread
I was actually referring to Duncans only natural ability in being able to talk himself into the referee's book. It seems this time he didn't talk himself into the book, he only squared up to Lilley. The weirdest thing just happened, the names Alex MacLeod and Russell Duncan just appeared in my misted up mirror. Make of that, what you will. Pick up a home matchday programme and you me even see both names close together on one of the pages. If I dont stick up for him nobody else will. Trouble with many ICT fans is they never seem to see the good in any player. Only the mistakes. Its not their mirrors that get misted over, its their eyes. :hale: And, like Mantis say's, nobody is referring to Foran as being a dikedd. Is that because Foran probably has more yellow's than Duncan?

QOS -V- ICT : matchday thread
What did he do that was so horrific to lose your respect? Did he send a wee message to the ICT support? Did he rub it in to them when Queens scored? Or was it just the fact he was was trying to help the team he currently plays for a goal? You may not have noticed yet, but he doesn't play for ICT anymore. And I think if it had been his choice he would still be with us, but to be fair to MissICT it was probably heat of the moment stuff as she left the game disappointed He most definately would Steve

Fort William

Should We Now Be Blooding More Youngsters ?
Cox 19, Odi 20, Rooney 21, Hayes and Eagle 22. Could these not be construed as youngsters?

QOS -V- ICT : matchday thread
Sounds like he was mouthing off again. No surprise there... He and Lilley were sent off after a melee following the Queens free kick and Forans second yellow. Perhaps some of those who didn't even see what happened but still find it necessary to form their own opinions and issue abusive remarks should take a look in the mirror and then decide who the imbecile's are.

GOOD REPORT HERE Sounds like Duncan and Lilley had a bit of a difference of opinion

QOS -V- ICT : matchday thread
Seems to me the ref is a lot to blame. Blatant penalty disallowed......Butcher loses it and the team lose the place. To all you who dont like Duncan, please dont use this sending off to stoke your fires. Down to ten he's trying to preserve the draw. Give him some bloody credit.

not possible - QOS on 27 points even if they lose. At best we would go 3rd equal on GD Think we need one more goal to go third equal. Give us two guys assuming it is correct ? BBC Table

Right guy's............second half..........lets see you want a start next game. Lets see solidarity, skill and a will to win. And lets not spoil a good day by debating what and what not Dundee can and will do. This is the ICT matchday thread.

Mrs Gringo's 50th - Queen of the South
A very happy birthday to you Mrs G from me and Aileen. Nice to welcome more to the over 50's club.

Way too early to predict. personally I think Dundee will run into problems after the new year.

Hope he can transfer his stroppyness to skill second half. Dont need any red cards

QOS -V- ICT : matchday thread
C'mon guys.........extra sensory perception needed. Think positive thoughts and transfer them to the team. To hell with Dundee we'll wipe the smile of their faces on 26th.

Golly out!
I'd like to see McBain back in the side in any position, but sadly TB obviously doesn't appear to rate him at all. Why is it always assumed that because a player doesn't make the starting line-up he's not rated by Butcher. There's 26 in the squad. Only 14 outfielders can be chosen for each game. Does that mean that 10 or eleven are out of favour? Personally I can see McBain as RB tomorrow and LDZ left.

Singing section
Could some people stop turning this thread into a petty argument. Be it home or away it is fact that like minded people sitting together will generate more noise. It is fact that players respond to the noise. It is also fact that the people who make noise at away games stay silent at home. And before anyone tries to counter that statement cast your minds back to a day last season when the north stand was silent, the team were crying out for support and I try to encourage the famous section G to make some noise only to find myself having to absord a tirade of abuse.

Tokely's broken hand blow
I'd rather we all clubbed together and paid for a protective shield to put over his hand. If the Aberdire player can have one for his broken face then surely they'd make something for Rossco's hand.
