  1. Ritchie needs to grow some balls and drop some of the guys that haven't performed all season. Tansey, Vigurs and Fon Williams should all be out for Saturday. None of them have been good enough. Saturday is a massive game, if we don't get a win then I think that is the time for change. Let's hope this result is the kick up the backside we need.

  2. And if it happens, there's no reason why he couldn't meet up with the team bus at Bothwell Services and go straight into the squad for tonight!

  3. Just putting it out there. Would it work if TB came back as a DoF role to mentor Richie? Both guys have a great relationship or they did anyway

  5. Not just the result but another utterly woeful performance. Board need to take a long hard look at themselves for the club being in such a mess 18 months after winning the cup, 3rd in the league and in Europe. The way they handled the Yogi situation was pathetic. Dundee Utd wanted him, we turn that down and the compensation. Then we pay the guy to leave 6 months later. Yogi not faultless but he wouldn't have us in the shambles we're in now. Great player and servant, I do feel sorry for him. But Richie, you might just have to step aside.

  7. Foran clearly cannot get the best out of these players, so we either have to replace the players or replace the manager.

  8. It has been a while since I have posted but enough is enough! I was very happy to see we had sign Billy back on loan and was really hoping for an impact tonight. Losing 3-0 to Hamilton is a disgrace. The players need to take a long hard look at themselves because we are staring relegation in the face. Something needs to change and NOW!!!!

  11. if the players were good enough we wouldn't be bottom. the squad is the core which stayed in league for years, minus, shinnie, shinnie, Watkins, hayes, rooney, McKay( until tonight) etc.etc, some are getting to the end of their careers or have been here too long and it's their time to move on. we haven't signed a player of the calibre of the players above, or half as good, since butcher left. hughes reaped the rewards when he took over and the next year signed inferior players, duds some would say. he then orchestrated his own departure and legged it with this years player budget leaving foran to shop in the bargain basement getting players who are not good enough to play in the spfl. I watched a left winger with pace come on Saturday, pass the right back on two occasions, headed for the bye line and put in two crosses. cross one into the goalkeepers hands and cross two over everyone's head and out for a throw in on the other side of the pitch. he wasn't much better any other time I have seen either cant see how that can be forans fault it's just the calibre of player we have now. if/when we go down at least there will be no rangers, hearts, hibs or maybe Dundee untied, teams who could spend big to get out of the championship. could come straight back up again

  14. Sounds like we gave up on this game after going down 1-0! I'm speechless can't see where we go from here! FFS Hamilton will now have real belief that they will not finish bottom! I like Foran as a person however talking a good game no longer gives me any belief that we will stay up! A win on Sat is now a must just to give the boys some confidence! I'll refrain from the Foran witch hunt for now!............

  16. We all know this group of players are capable of so much more than they've shown in the last 4 months. The problem is obviously the management. Foran should do the decent thing and resign. There's no way the club can afford to sack him when he's on a four year contract !

  18. Game's a bogey. Richie not learning from his mistakes and still making poor selections with no balance. No advantage in getting new strikers in if the midfield has no width and no pace. There's a reason his predecessors played 2 holding midfielders: we have players who suit that role. We also have decent wide players, but they are on the bench. It might be too late already..

  19. The Old Boys Club ? And look at the potential width and pace on the bench. Richie has to stop the "playing the old guard" nonsense, dump Vigurs and Tansey, play Draper and Polworth centrally and gamble on the yoof out wide. Presume Doran and the Walrus have the virus ?

  20. The Billy of old is just what we need but I wonder if that is the Billy we will get. His recent scoring (or not scoring) record is clearly a worry but it is important to remember that Richie played in the same side as Billy and will know what makes him tick. Billy himself will know that unless he can find his goal scoring touch here then his career is as good as over. I'm sure he will enjoy resuming his place in the side with Doran and that should help both of them get back to their best. We've missed having a player in the side who has a knack of just nipping in front of defenders or swivelling on a half chance. It's not as though we haven't been getting the ball into dangerous areas, it is just that we haven't been seizing the opportunities which arise. I've a good feeling about this but we shouldn't expect miracles. He'll need time to settle back in and get his confidence back.

  22. At first glance I thought the return of Billy Mckay was just wishful thinking on our part. But then I looked at his stats in League One this season - 25 games, comprising 20 starts and 1,665 minutes on the pitch. Goal tally - zilch. He's hardly hot property any more, and it appears that the only place he can score is in Scotland so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if all parties agreed that the best way to resurrect his career and resurrect our fortunes was to give this a try and see if it all clicks again.

  23. MPs are not elected to represent the positions of their Parties on every individual manifesto promise, they are elected to represent the positions of their constituencies. It is a very rare occasion that the members of a constituency have the opportunity, en masse, to tell their MP what their vote should be. As a result, MPs are honour (if they know what that means) bound to vote in response to the wishes of their constituents. That will mean that Article 50 should be triggered, but it will also mean that those MPs whose constituencies did not vote for Brexit should ignore Party Whips and vote against that triggering. Party whipping has no place in a vote on a referendum result (It has no place in politics at all, imo, but certainly not in a case like this.) The Scottish representatives in the House of Lords attempted in 1713 to extricate Scotland from the Union, and despite there being, as there is now, a large difference in relative numbers, they lost that attempt by only 4 votes. I suspect, given the chance, if English MPs voted as their constituents wished....there would no barrier put up to Scottish Independence. However, if a second independence referendum resulted in a majority for independence, and English or any other MPs chose to ignore that result...then there is a case for declaring UDI. And the difference would be, as you know very well that the Brexit referendum was a UK one, an independence referendum would be limited to Scotland. Did all the EU representatives in the EU parliament get a vote on whether we were to be allowed to leave the EU........because that is the comparison to be made?

  24. I didn't know Billy was back until just before kick off. That gave me hope, and once he and Anier are match fit, I hope things improve. The penalty save sounded pivotal and we did not recover from it. I just hope the senior players now lead by example. Tonight was bad, but Dundee should be a game we can win. If we can get a break, there is hope. I just hope we didn't "break the break" with that penalty. I am going on Saturday and hope the fans stand united behind the players and Manager. They can't afford to lose our support.

  25. ****** it now. Even if you ignore the rumors coming from Inverness that Foran has lost the dressing room to the extent that players do not want to turn up to training, there was no greater proof of it than tonight. How can he continue to play Vigurs and Polworth out wide? He may think the players have bottled it, in my opinion he is the one that has bottled it. Hard to have any respect for him when he claims before Partick that it is a must win....until of course we scrape a lucky (was not at game, going by what fans have said) draw and it suddenly becomes a great point. Our relegation is as inevitable as Butcher's Hibs - we are a sinking ship. Cannot take one positive out of tonight.

  26. There's no way that we can afford to sack RF - he'd have to fall on his sword, which I doubt he'll do, given hive deluded comments recently. There's no faulting his passion, but a combination of poor judgement, blind obstinance and a shed-load of injuries has done for RF this season. Do we have the players to stay up? - absolutely. Have they been selected in sensible formations? Only on one occasion that I can remember. Vigurs is a luxury player and we need scrappers - there's no room for him in the midfield. Tansey's had a poor season and needed to be "rested" to shake him up. Doran is coming into form and only got a few minutes on Saturday. Cole and Mulraney are raw talents with pace - rarely played, even as subs. It's not as easy as we all suggest, this management lark, but RF is making a true shambles of this.

  27. Saturday's most certainly a must win, but we've been saying that about the last few games. If we perform the same as we have the last two games on the weekend then we definitely need to make a serious change somewhere, be it with Richie or Brain. Really mind boggling that players like Tansey and Draper, who have been magnificent for the club in the last few years, have been so below par. Same goes for Warren and Meekings, who were thought of as one of the best CB pairings in the league. We have leaders in the dressing room, like Draper and Warren, who really need to rally the troops, or relegation most certainly beckons.

  31. I heard that the dressing room was flat about 4 weeks ago too. I'd play myself if I was in Ritchie's shoes, what has he to lose? He was a great leader on the park and this could give us the boost we need. F***ing boss them like the leader he was!!!! None of this restrained/reformed nonesense which he has developed. GET INTO THEM!!

  37. I listened to a good interview with Ruud Gillit a few months back and he made a good point about playing with one up-front. It can work, but he's got to have pace. Billy Mckay could do it because he had the skill, the pace and the work rate to hold up the ball, pressure the opposition backline and brings others into the game, as could Rooney and Storey and to a lesser extent Ofere. The problem with us is Doumbouya (who always seems to start no-matter what) is pretty awkward in possession, doesn't seem interested in the ball unless it's played right to him and is perhaps one of the slowest players we've had in years. Boden has been a hideous signing while Anier looks more like a number 10 and Ebbe is an unknown quantity. That then leaves Fisher. He has the work rate and a fair amount of pace and from what I've seen looks like he could be a very good striker if he's given a run of games. To my mind, when he's fit he should always start especially if we stick with the one up-front philosophy.

  39. There's a potential complication for any ins and outs in that the for the final 9 or so hours of deadline day our players and management will be away at Hamilton! "Driver, stop the bus at Broxden" "What is it boss, do you need a piss?" "No, I need a central defender and a creative attacker!"

  42. Ultimately were it to come to pass, that matter is governed by clear and long established principles of international law wherein the answer to your repeated question on the matter of the validity of such a referendum, whether formally sanctioned by Westminster or not, also resides. In short, a defined people within a defined geographical area have the right to self determination should a majority of them so decide in a properly constituted plebiscite.

  44. All 59 MPs elected in Scotland were elected on the basis of manifestos promoting continued membership of the EU. All 59 represent constituencies where the majority voted, usually very clearly, to remain in the EU in the recent consultative referendum.. It appears that only one is prepared to disregard the will of the people who elected them.

  45. Folk moaning about other teams seemingly being able to find players that are doing the business for them and not us really need to get a reality check. I'm not really sure what is expected. The fact of the matter is that most players we sign, due to their unattached lower league status will generally be punts. We've been very fortunate in recent years with the forward options we've signed. Rooney, Mckay, Watkins, Hayes and last season Storey. We're not always going to have a never ending supply of goal scorers. The task is finding the next one who can go on a run and grab 10 goals that might keep us up. Anier wasn't great at Dundee United but neither were Mckay or Ofere. At least not to the same standard they had been with us. He does however have experience at this level which should be seen as a positive. He's a capable player who with luck could be good for us. In saying that I here a certain Diego Costa wants to leave London. It's an absolute abhorrence that we haven't slapped in a 60m bid.

  46. Well done to Shane. Slightly older news, which I don't think has been reported on our forum, is that Tom Aldred (The Tank) of Blackpool won the PFA Fans' Player of the month in December for English League 1.

    • Dundee United 1-1 Inverness CT - Report
      Hopes amongst the Caley Jags support were at rock bottom ahead of this one with the threat of relegation looming large. With all hands to the pumps, Shaw, Boyes and Ujdur were brought back into the squad whilst not really 100% fit. Shaw started as did Pepple and Boyes with Billy Mckay, Lawal and Danny Devine dropping to the bench. Cammy Harper was given the Captain's armband today. It's a daunting task going to the lions den to face title favourites but underdog is our preferred tag. Anyway, 252 of them turned up at Tannadice in eternal hope and Duffy heightened the intensity only for Louis Moult to level things up. That's how it ended, a result we would have bitten your hand off before kick off.

    • Inverness CT 1-2 Ayr United - Report
      Having sat through one of the worst games for many a year there is little to hope for now apart from Arbroath to keep losing because we certainly appear to find it difficult to win. We have no game changers in our squad and our manager is playing the wrong type of anti-football to help our cause. Big Dunc thought we were the better team. Pleeeeeaaase, give me a break! We were second to everything and Ayr were always one step ahead of us after the first three minutes. SHOCKER springs to mind.

    • Inverness CT 0-0 Airdrieonians - Report
      These two sides looked as though they could play for the whole of March without scoring. In terms of opportunities, the hosts probably shaded it, but when we did miss the first defender, crosses invariably went behind the incoming strikers. On the one occasion we got on the end of the ball Billy Mckay's flicked header was cleared away from goal by Kanayo Megwa.
      Not the worst 0-0 draw ever, but scoring opportunities were at a premium. Neither keeper was overly troubled and this game had scoreless written all over it given the evidence of the first twenty minutes.

    • Inverness CT -V- Airdrieonians - Preview
      Promoted Airdrie are sitting in fifth place in the table, just below the play-off places with former Caley Jag Nikolay Todorov getting amongst the goals and he will provide a big test for our central defence. We have found Airdrie a difficult proposition at times this season but we did win the last home encounter against them.

    • Morton 0-2 Inverness CT - Report
      What a start for Inverness and Billy Mckay, who answered his abusers from last week by opening the scoring in the second minute, firing into the top corner after an assist from Cammy Harper. Robbie Muirhead looked to respond but Mark Ridgers was equal to his effort in the fifth minute. Ten minutes before the interval Sean McAllister curled in a low free kick from the edge of the box to double our advantage and open his scoring account at Inverness. Plenty of bookings but no further scoring saw Inverness pick up a vital three points in the relegation battle although we still remain in ninth spot but only two points from Dunfermline in fifth.
