No Hutchinson! yer affin a laugh!

I see that Neil Lennon wants the old c**t strung up in front of the SFA.

We can moan all we like about the fixture headache that the top six split makes, but at the end of the day all SPL clubs agreed to have this split so thats the way the cookie crumbles. My only gripe with it is that Rangers and Celtic always get the fixtures in their favour and not vice versa. But whats new eh?

I think what we do have at the moment is key players hitting good form. Murphy, Humphrey, Lasley, Sutton, Randolph and Hutchy are all playing out of their skin right now and hopefully that will continue. Also I just don't know how St Johnstone will be able to cope with Murphy and Humphrey running at them? They might have to double up which will limit them going forward. Its Going to be a very interesting game as St Johnstone play it on the deck like us and this could make for a few goals at either end. Also if Jeffers is fit then his clever runs can open up space for Sutton and Murphy to exploit.

Whats the situation with Hammell and Jeffers? Are both going to make the Semi Final?

So you are fed up reading a 9 page thread about Craig Brown that you yourself have replyed on? Fucking Internet Forum Thought Police do my box right in.

Trucks - my point is that Aberdeen have a dreadful squad and a debt of 12 million. What exactly can Brown and Knox do? They won't have the cash to rebuild the whole squad and also the players he has brought in are average to say the least. Yes he has saved them from relegation, but long term I think there is no hope for them.

Higdon I would think will be snapped up by a Championship club. He has saved St Mirren being in a relegation dogfight.

The thing with Aberdeen is where the fuck do they go from here? They are 12 million in debt, have a totally shite squad and a management team that is looking unlikley to fix the mess. As for Browns media relations - he said he would keep a dignified silence. We since then he has never shut up! I think he is losing it.

There was a guy next to me last night who was just dying to give Forbes stick. Him and all the knobs around him sniping away at him all game. Mind you not a peep when his hard work setup the goal. The problem with Forbes is that he is far too slow. He gets caught on the ball all the time. Not sure if it can be worked on, but if his pace increased he would be a great player. But I am not going to shout at the lad from the stands. Its the same with Steve Jones against Aberdeen. Some muppets in front of me were like 'Aye he will fuck up soon enough'. Negative wanks.

Randy is certainly worth a couple of million as good goalkeepers are very rare. Humphrey will need about six months of his current form and his value will baloon. If there has been scouts at the last three games then they will be going back raving about him. He has been unplayable over the last week. Murphy on form is also a total nightmare for defenders. His skill on the ball the last few weeks has been excellent and I am sure the scouts will have mentioned his name. Hutchinson is one of the best defenders in the SPL right now and is a stick on to go to big things in the game. A true talent. I am basically resigned to losing them all pretty soon!

That was an odd game last night. We looked off the pace, disjointed and unbalaced. But we took our two chances with a stroke of fortune. You do make your own luck though. In the second half we just put up the defences and held on for grim life. A great 3 points considering the state of the squad and the fact Dundee Utd are flying and have some very good players. Also quick mention to Forbes. Why is he so slow? You look at Gomis and he passes, moves and turns on a sixpence, but with Forbes is a couple of touches and by then the player is on top of him. he needs to quicken up or he will never make it at his level. The boy can pass and is now getting stuck in, but if he doesn't quicken up he will be left behind. Big Sutton need a rest pronto - he looked fecked after about 2 minutes!

Top six is sorted. No way will ICT win all those games. Rest a few for the Hearts game and make sure we are in peak condition for the semi final as I am pretty sure St Johnstone will be doing the same.

You behave yourself ya miserable git. I bet you love it when we get beat.

Glory Hunter!

Doesn't really suprise me. If he can keep working on his final ball then he will be a huge asset to any team. The last few games his delivery and final pass have been excellent. He is also using his brain more and if the pass isn't on then its played back. I think for me the best example of the respect he has within the SPL was when Celtic came to Fir Park and their left back Emilio(?) was rendered useless going forward as he was worried about Humphrey running him ragged. I doubt many players are quicker than him in the UK right now.

I would assume that if you were promised a bonus for getting the club to the semi final of the CIS Cup and then left to get a better paid job before said semi final then you really wouldn't come back to the club you quit and ask for the bonus would you? Mercenary fucks.

Lets not forget Dundee Utds defence is still shite. So we should get a few goals. 2-1 I think.

When we have a fully fit squad we can beat anyone. As soon as we get a few injuries we struggle. This is down to our paper thin squad. All I can say is that when McCall has had a full squad to pick from we have really impressed. As for signings. All have been very good so far. Jones is an effective sub and likes to get forward - reminds me a lot of JOB. Jeffers when fit is brilliant. Gunning has been a revelation in the CB role. Mo Ross had a very impressive debut. Overall very pleased so far with what he has done and I think the inconsistent results has been down to the fact our squad is so small.

Craig Brown and Archie Knox are owed fuck all. Yes they got us into the semi final, but they quit and walked out on the club so any bonus is instantly void. Pricks of the highest order. Also I would like to apologise for defending Archie Knox as I thought he stayed out of the meelee at full time, but nope he is a total c**t just like his wee fanny boss.

Its between us and Inverness. Everyone else is out of the race. And its down to the games below. A win on Wednesday would seal it I think. Cannot see ICT getting 7 points from those three games. We have to remember that Kilmarnock have just lost their manager and Hearts are on a poor run of form so we must try and get 7 points clear on Wednesday to have a really good chance. Our fixtures: Motherwell v Dundee Utd Hearts v Motherwell Inverness fixtures: Kilmarnock v ICT ICT v Hearts ICT v Celtic

Yeah Saunders is a fantastic prospect but is not a natural right back. My ideal future line up in defence would be: Ross - Hutchinson - Saunders - Hammell. Gunning will be gone next season, unless we can extend his loan deal and I think this may be Craigans final season and we will see him maybe move to a coaching role or into the media circut. The question is where does this leave Hateley? Has had a few shots in the midfield, but just doesn't look comfortable. Good right back, but doubt he would like being backup to Ross, but then again maybe the competition for places will improve his game even more and he could become an even better right back than he already is. Good problems to have I suppose!

Thought over the last two game Chris Humphrey has looked a brilliant player. Two fantastic goals, pace and now some thought to the end delivery. Great player.

Petty shite from both parties. Boyle is an idiot and Brown can't take getting beaten by us. Fair play to McCall and Knox who know how to act like adults.
