Was Blackie Injured?

[davieB]

Can't say I noticed anything before half-time. Hope he was injured, because if the change was tactical then it was a shocking decision by Brewster. He was our only decent player in the first half.

[RednBlackComeback]

Totally agree !!

[+L_G]

Only gossip, no definite source but I heard he took a wee strop for some reason at half time and left the building.  :33:

[RednBlackComeback]

FFS ......wot is happening at ICT ? :008:

[wyness_is_god]

just a shame they didn't all leave the building at half time with that referee on his way to losing the plot  :023: Next time just walk off and leave the SPL to deal with corrupt refereeing.

Good thing Black did get subbed and miss the 2ND half tbh, otherwise we may have ended up with 3 sent off  :018:

If that's true, then we've got very serious problems at the club.

I did notice they didn't give Wilson a shout until at least 10 minutes into the half time warm up :017:

[caleymore]

Blackie spotted passing the back of the refreshments queue (that extended out to the icecream van)  before the second half even kicked off !!!

[Bronson]

So it appears that Brewster has also lost the dressing room.  :029:  Things just get better and better.  It would be interesting to find out what actually happened.

If he walked off because he was subbed then i suppose its understanable he was angry, but to walk out shows a complete lack of respect for team mates and suporters.

If his walking out was what led to us having to make a sub then somethingreally is rotten within the club.

[Pele_Is_God]

:029: Blackie has always had a foul temper on him, so let's not judge Brewster on this.  Why is everyone blaming Brewster for things going wrong, there were problems before he arrived.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

No there were problems becos the players knew that he was coming.  :024:

[RiG]

Brewster spoke in the after match interview if trying to play a passing game in recent weeks. I have seen no evidence of it. More long ball than ever before. Quite why one of only a couple of ICT players who seem capable of playing this alleged passing game was subbed today unless injured is a bizarre move by the manager.

[Kind of Blue]

If Black did walkout at half time, then it clearly demonstrates that his maturing process has got some way to go.

[+CaleyD]

If that's true, then we've got very serious problems at the club.

I, and others, have been saying for weeks that problems at the club run deeper than on the field performances and results.  Personally, I'm preparing myself for it to hit rock bottom before we start to see any meaningful changes to improve things.

This is not some "conspiracy theory" and I'm not pointing fingers at individuals.  Ultimately the buck stops with the Board of Directors, and they need to make some difficult but important decisions before the wheels fall off.

[RednBlackComeback]

You know, I thought I'd have calmed down by this time of night.......but reading all these threads I find myself becoming more angry !!!! wtf is going on behind closed doors ?? :018:

[Bronson]

Any more word on what actually happened re Black leaving the building?

[Govan Jaggie]

I think he went off on one followin the comments from the stands as he did jester towards a certain fan at one corner. 

[Mee]

I wasn't even there on Saturday and I'm getting angry reading through the threads! WTF is going on????  :008:

[Guest sophia]

Don?t worry about it Mee, seems the 1st 11 didn?t turn up either.

Come to think about it, I do remember Ian Black seemingly mouthing towards somebody the north stand as he prepared to defend a corner.

A lack of concentration led to the concession of the 1st goal from a corner!

[RiG]

Did you hear what he said?

Apparently a Gretna fan told one of the players on Saturday he was "f**king useless" to which the player simply responded "f**k off!"  :015:

[Govan Jaggie]

He didnt appear to mouth anything but looked at the gentleman in Blackie's feck off face normally reserved for refs and made a gesture to his head.  It looked like a mental-thick gesture, nothing more lurid but still unacceptable.

[Guest sophia]

So we?ve got:

The Emperor?s barge

Bayne?s lunge

Black?s gesticulations and dummy spitting

Munro?s public criticism of his work colleague

Fraser?s expansive summing up the wrongs (he?s only two minutes in the team!)

Brewster?s easy way out

And

Duncan?s passing

All disgraceful in there own way!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

And Niculae's wage.  :004:

[ElderBoy]

get mourinho in or why dont the fans pick the team will be better than brewsters anyway

[chris123]

Munro?s public criticism of his work colleague
