Sorry for not expecting people to take issue with me saying ICT will play in the Championship in 20/21.
How dare you sir! How very dare you.

Has anyone ever seen him at a game? He shouldn't be too difficult to miss.
Yeah he's the guy with the massive fecking chip on his shoulder, and his petted lip keeps tripping him up!

Some good news at last, Robbo signs a new deal.

Happy lockdown anniversary guys,
one benefit of these circumstances is that it should keep celebrations down to a respectable level.
Don't overdo things, polite applause is acceptable but don't go overboard.

After we won the title in 2003/04 we were initially denied promotion because we didn't have a 10,000 all seater stadium. We proposed to ground share with Aberdeen but this was rejected. However, following that we lobbied within the SPL (as it then was) and managed to persuade the clubs to rethink and we were eventually promoted and the rules on stadiums were relaxed, allowing us to properly redevelop our stadium for the top flight.
Between 2002 and 2013 we had four managers leave our club to take over at other larger clubs (|Paterson to Aberdeen, Robbo to Hearts, Brewster to Dundee Utd, Butcher to Hibs). Each deal netted us a six figure sum, we very likely took in more than half a million pounds during that time just from these deals and every time we improved as a team afterwards.
If we were in either of those situations again, does anyone think that we'd have the same level of influence or be able to strike deals as positive for the club? No chance. People won't negotiate with us in good faith, why would they? If we don't like their offer we'll just leak the WhatsApp messages.
Regarding an inquiry, I think the whole affair has been a shambles and in theory an inquiry would be a good idea but in reality, what's the point? Say the inquiry came back and said that nothing improper was done, would our board, or the Rangers board or the Hearts board accept that? No they won't. If it comes back and says the whole thing was a big stitch up, then what happens then? We kick out the chairman of 30 clubs? The fact is that the accusations from our board and others are wooly and ill defined and any further inquiry would very likely be inconclusive.
The whole affair has dragged the name of the club through the mud, allied us with the nutcase fringe of Scottish football and served to reduce our standing and influence. And for what purpose? Absolutely none. A complete failure on all levels by the club.
And the buck or the (blue poond) has to stop with Gardiner.

You're giving "what if" reasons as to why you think the score line flattered us. I've given you "what if" reasons as to why the result could have been even worse for ICT.
It could have been better for ICT, it could also have been worse.I'm just mightily relieved we weren't playing Hearts.

Laminate flooring?

Possibly just deserved the three points tonight? But definitely deserve to win the league, been by far the most consistent team in the division. Onwards and upwards United, bon voyage.

Hearts are due to play Hibs in the league on the Tuesday so the ICT fans might get shafted with a Friday evening kick-off.
Won't be the first time we've been shafted over cup games staged at Easter road fella.

Fair enough. Ref got both decisions correct IMO (need a better look at the stamp)and could easily of sent McGowan off. Again as I said it's a shame cause you had them rattled.
I've no got a dog in this race fella, maybe mentioning things getting rattled in a Celtic thread could set a few folk off right enough.

That tackle from McGowan was far worse than what Griffiths did mate
No denial from me, but I was comparing it to the red card given/not given.

Griffiths has no obligation to stay on his feet there as Hamilton has made it more difficult for him to get on the end of the pass when he's put his hands on him. Of course he didn't need to go down but don't put your hands on the player.
But studding the opposition is ok as far as the ref is concerned?!?

He has scored 11 goals in 55 championship games. That proves he isn’t at the level we are currently at. I’m sure he’d be fine for a bottom half team but he is not good enough for a team supposedly chasing promotion.
He is a bang average footballer hence why he is in the Scottish Championship.After this window I wouldn't be worrying about promotion any time soon I'm afraid.
