Well he's certainly experienced....

How? For starters he got us our highest SPL finishes IIRC, but what I had in mind was that I think we played our best and most attractive (SPL) football under his reign. No we didn't We either hit long balls towards Bayne, or we hit long balls over the top for Dargo to run on to. Charlie was a smashing player and is a smashing guy, but the players looked lost under him. IMO we would have been relegated had CC stayed. Yeah, him and Black got on just dandy. I remember Charlie's relationship with the players was at an all time high after our 3-1 defeat to Dunfermline.

How?

All the Best Brew. I actually that you could still have turned it round, but we were out of time. Awesome player.

My cousin's friend is taxi driver, and he says that he drove Makarian from the airport to the stadium this morning...

Sorry, you lost all my respect after that bit.

Tokely Munro McGuire Hastings Duff Proctor Pavel Bryne Gatthuessi Zadi Hmm...

Like last time you mean?

In an ideal world we keep both, but from what I have seen Esson>Fraser.

It's looking more likely that we will have him at least until the end of the season. A couple of months ago I would have bit your hand off for 6 more months of Cowie in an ICT shirt. Now I'm not so sure...

After couple of years of proffesional training possibly. His natural ability is what I don't doubt. His juniors team will have likely trained 2-3 times a week for about 2 hours after work, and the quality of coaching will be (with all due respect to the fantastic juniors coaches) pretty low. I think its a testament to his natural skills that he has kept the pace so well. The rest of our squad have been involved with professional clubs since about the age of 14. When they turned 16/17 most will have left school and will have trained full time, for 3 or 4 hours every day of the week bar sunday, with dietricians and physios, and the highest level of coaching.

Im pretty sure the Cowie - Rangers link will be dead after his woeful display two weeks ago. Think he could maybe do a job at Charlton or Leeds though.

I'm not sure, thats just what Kath said when I phoned her tonight. Perhaps it is simply a waiting list of 3 or 4 people, and they are waiting for cancellations rather than lay on another bus. But I don't know.

One of our most attacking players. Until Morais arrived, Imrie was quite literally the only player in our squad willing to take his man on, hit the by-line and cross the ball. He needs a lot of work yes, but as others point out he has only been playing professional football for a couple of years. Unlike the rest of them, he has not had the basic skills drilled into him on a full-time basis since he was 15 years old. There's no way he's on ridiculous wages, so I'd rather we kept him, even if its on the bench for a while. Throwing away a player with as much potential as Imrie has would be folly.

4 buses now. With a waiting list! Beginning to sound like a broken record, but I am genuienly concerned that more than 500 turn up.

I believe I can spot a wee mistake in this! I agree, Esson at full back is an awful idea.

Thats been my dp on Pie and bovril for a while now.

Wear mine for playing football and sometimes watching it. Each to their own tbh, its not up to us to dictate individual preference.

Ask Rory if he feels that the ICT fans were 100% behind the team.

See the Byrne MFR link for Rory. 4 strikers is about right for and SPL club. Remember when Bayne, Wyness and Dargo were all out and we had only one left. As for Gathuessi, don't know why Brewster says that, as I can assure you he is a right back.

Gathuessi is a right back. And we only have three strikers with Rory going on loan.

If you'd come via Aberdeen

Always thought Kerr looked a smashing prospect

33 years old, and can't get a game for a team in the 4th tier of english football Only recently Chester tried to punt this guy to a conference side. Does not sound good.

Cheapest return on the train is ?48 (no cheape singles left) and even though I received a kind offer of a lift to the game from another poster yesterday(?) I have now made other plans sadly. Should be back in time to catch the game on the radio though. Yeah, the price really put me off initially, and I wasn't planning on going until they brought the ticket prices down. Now it should be only a little bit more than a normal away day, but I can see why you wouldn't fancy it. I ask I was wondering if you had been rebuffed by the supporters club re the coming via Aberdeen.
