Disappointed in Butcher?.
I agree with all of that.... and yes, Lionel played in midfield, or even up front, wouldn't do so much damage. He'd also be more likely to score than the likes of Rooney or Barrowman. I love the guy. Well sober up , he is a disaster which happens on a regular basis, he would not make a second div French side on a good day!!!!

Butcher stay or go
So slightly off centre, but what? management skills has he got, look back at his reord, well promulgated n this site. In his managerial career he acheived nought!!! so why do you perserve with him I truly wonder and as for MM he can go down the road. To throw my hat in, I say get JR back he loves the club, tie him to a contract, he will not leave this time, he has got something to prove and he will

FAO Robbo
I think being away I have maybe lost the thread of this!! TK maxx staff, on 500 GBP a week?? the police here, in Latvia, get 200 gbp, per month, hence footballers from here in Latvia looking for a contact in the UK. I do know good players here but cannot afford the envelopes / backhanders to become an agent in Latvia, all down to money here. But so far a good start to the season, mostly positives, so far, but treat each game as a final, and maybe .. just maybe!!!!

does any thistle fan remember
I knew him quite well. I was also at the funeral and it was nice to see the Thistle ties. I know that his wife appreciated the boys wearing them. Yes the trouble was I am terrible with names, there were a lot of people there, am surprised no-one else remembers him, he was great friends of Mr ITFC Jock Mc Donald

ICT -V- Ayr Utd : Matchday Thread
:021: :D :025: Whilst I tend to agree that we need to win as many of our home games as we can if we want to win the league, use of the term "the likes of" smacks of the same arrogance that we so often complained about from others when we were one of the unfancied teams in the SPL. Did anyone expect Raith to almost do one on Dundee ? or for there to be 4 draws out of 5 this week ? As Jimmy Greaves used to say .... "Its a funny old game" !!! alright .... off to the pub now to get ready for Toronto FC -V- DC United which kicks off at BMO Field at 4pm my time .... its swelteringly hot today so the wardrobe is shorts and TFC polo shirt, and on the menu is a pitcher or two of Alexander Keiths. Jealous of you SCOTTY!! off to play footy for Riga United tonite so the pitchers will wait till later, mind you we lost 6-1 last week, but we now have a secret weapon, someone who knows where the goal is!! will keep you informed. byt the way listened to all the game for inspiration? but nothing came , but I thought it was a good result, Ayr sounded sound

Sir Bobby Robson
We played here in Latvia against an English team and at 1.30 we held a minutes silence for the memory of Bobby Robson .. so far away but our thought were with his family and what he contributed to the beautiful game. PLUS we lost

Bad night in EUROPE
Well you guys I was in Moscow with a dead plane,(electrics) so we had to stay overnight, we got tickets for the Celtic game and it was ok they played well Dinamo were poor, but it was funny to see celtic guys with the russian hats after. I met Tony Mowbray at the airport, a nice guy

does any thistle fan remember
Came back to Sneck and the first thing I read was Denny Eames from thistle days had died, he was involved ages ago, secretary/ treasurer ... so went to his funeral and saw a lot of ex thistle players there , so by the time I had a few pints it was time to come back, otherwise no job!! And i did not see a match but back november Does anyone remember him????

New Signings
I wrote a thread on the site ages ago, re' what if we got relegated, and if no money, would we be looking to the lower reaches, of any division to get CHEAP players. What do I see inneuendo, promises of he might come. or maybe him, the phrase regarding Brewery and **ss up strikes a chord. You have some good youth players, Alex Ferguson , is an example built and encouraged a youth team, look what came from that ... might take time , but a force to be reckoned with Will be in Invss in July, and will catch two games , plus a few pints at the Innes Bar

About Managers
I read all the various threads comments etc about management, and now realise what I have got myself into, managing a small team of expats here in Latvia, Phone calls, sorting out transport, making sure the kit is washed and for what? Well out of 6 games played we have won 4 and drawn two. so carry on regardless!! Small time management such as I am involved is not easy, it takes up a lot of time, as I am away Mrs L is now unofficial unpaid sec, sorting out all the c**p from the Lva, they are unbelievable, one step forward three steps back. We have one player who is coloured, he didn't make the team photo for the cup comp,as he was ill, the Lva said give us 50 GBP and he can play!! The old backhand game!! I also spoke to a friend of Pavels last night,who said, he liked Invss. money was not a problem it was MM. So apart from Latvia going bankrupt , things can only get better!!!

England Look The Business
Its a lot better than Aviemore. Beautiful scenery, good roads that get cleared in the winter, friendly people, even found a bar done out in tartan, and in the winter brilliant snow and night life and was really cheap when I was there. The local food is a mixture of French and Spanish(Catalan). Snails and Quails night was excellent. It is a small country, the people are friendly, so what if they can't play football against, highly overated / overpaeid players, at least they tried, but must admit it was painful watching I also switched betweem Finland/ Russian\ game Arshavin was awesome should have been 6-0 to russia I think they are the team to watch

Journeymen Players
spot on , my thoughts exactly. where is IHE when you need him???/

Journeymen Players
Just thought I would throw my hat in and ask, Foran, going nowhere as was Morais till Mr PR resurrected their career, so where do we look for new players? I know Pavels liked Invss but TB didn't like him (ask TB) money was NOt his prime concern and also he was in the Latvian National Team How do you drop an International?? So now, do we look to the lower leagues find a few journeymen whose legs haven't given out, and hope to scrape back into the SPL at our first attempt. I doubt that will happen, looking at TB's impressive management record as with MM's coaching credentials, I honestly cannot see it I know this sounds very negative , but would like to hear other peoples views. I know a team tries harder with a new manager but in the end he talks a good talk but didn't deliver

Working Out The Various What'ifs
is that a mathematical certainty is results go that way? havent worked out the permutations..... Hence my earlier post, even if we had won ONLY three games much earlier in the season we would not be having this conversation

Working Out The Various What'ifs
I find it all confusing working out the various permutations regarding us staying up. But at the risk of being controversial, if the team had got rid of Brewster earlier, or not reappointed him , we wouldn't be doing our heads in working out what Iffs sorry if I offend anyone

Matchday Thread: Ict -v- Hamilton
Well watched the game here in Latvia , perfect picture, but thought against 10 men they could have got another goal!! Lionel was *rap in first half, don't know what TB sees in Mcbain ,on too long, thought Munro was average , Proctor wasn't inspiring and I thought Roscoe had killed Cerny but enjoyed it. By the way the team I manage won 3-1 last night
