County fans thoughts

Ian Black is contracted beyond the summer so can't sign a pre-contract.

Rory hasn't had the best of times but yesterday he was absolutely immense, I thought he was our best player. He was energetic, he played some superb passes, he linked reasonably well with Bayne considering they haven't played together much, he created chances and went past opponents and wasn't scared to have a shot. Yesterday could be a turning point for the lad - I remember when Rosscoe first joined up he was a big awkward lump but given time he developed. Maybe Rory could do the same - the guy has been selected for the Scotland U19s and has been a regular scorer in the reserves. I, for one, hope he builds on his display and silences the boo-boys.

With both Dargs and Denzil out with dislocated shoulders we need someone in to provide cover for our strikers. Charlie just said in his post-match interview we will look to get someone in before Wednesday night. Who should we buy? Liam Buchanan?

Absolutely gutted to lose that game. We deserved to take at least one point, in the second half we were the better side and even towards the end of the first half we did well. Poor defending for both Celtic goals really - both should have been cleared before they had a chance to get a shot in but that's football I suppose. Superb header from Graham bayne who is developing into a real asset for us. I was also very impressed with Rory McAllister who got a chance to stake a claim. He showed very good touches and was menacing towards the Celtic back line for the 80 odd minutes he got, with Wyness and Dargs both out with dislocated shoulders he should get a chance, although we do need cover.

Every time we play Motherwell we seem to take about 40 fans. When we play Hibs or Heart we take 4-500. It's bizarre.

Gerry McNee worked as a Daily Express reporter in Inverness before he became the voice of (a) football. One of the funniest things I've ever seen was him not noticing a goal being disallowed during an Old Firm game on ITV about 15 years ago :015:

Mark obviously has enough confidence in his ability to think that he can make an impact at Celtic. Goalkeeper is a unique position - if Boruc was injured or suffered a loss of form Brown could step in. There are also persistant rumours linking Boruc with a move away, giving Brown a chance. He might never make an appearence at Celtic but he is giving himself the opportunity to do so. If he didn't take this oppotunity he'd probably never get a chance at a club the size of Celtic again. With regards to money, he'll probably make three to four times as much at Celtic as he could at us or Falkirk. There's nothing wrong with that, after all football is his career and he has to do the best for his family. I also think that the media intrusion is being overstated - he's not a star striker, he's a reserve goalie (initially) who is hardly a gallus type who gets into bother. Good luck to Broonie, I hope he gets the first team spot at Darkhead and gets into the international squad.

Good luck to Mark Brown in his move to Celtic I say. He has been an absolutely fantastic servant for us, a reliable, dependable keeper who, as said above, has been part of some of our clubs biggest achievements. Spending four and a half years at one club is a rarity in football and anyone saying Broonie is a 'traitor' or any pish like that wants to give themselves a shake. He will get a chance to make far more money which the vast majority of people in any line of work would do. Also, signing for Celtic shows he has faith in his ability to try and break into the first team - Boruc is linked with moves away to the Premiership or even Barcelona. Boruc could break his leg, get sent off, get the jail for saying mass at Ibrox - who knows? As for us, it's time to give Mikey Fraser a chance, he's never let anyone down. Perhaps we shold invest in a back-up keeper though as Jonathon Smith is on loan to Rothes and is a bit wee.

I demand that someone bring a Finland flag tothe Hibs game.

I have your keys RiG and this morning I ransacked your flat. I have never seen so much gay porn. :018:

Clacher, where do you stay in Edinburgh? I just moved flat to one down near Easter Road, until last week I was living at Foutainbridge near Tynecastle. No-one is welcome at my flat though, I am an anti-social chunt.

The Highland News is a shocking paper. They filled the back page with this ****? Utter garbage.

I think Keogh is a good player but looking at the facts he has been injured for the last two years and was only really a key member of the team for six months in 2003/04. I can only remember him being a stand-out in one SPL game (v Rangers at Pittodrie). Hopefully a stint on loan will do him good and he can make an impact but I think he's going to be one of these players who will move to get a fresh start.

I have heard it being sung in Dingwall.

one man went to kill went to kill a ***** one man and his baseball bat went to kill a ***** two men went to kill went to kill a ***** two men one man and his baseball bat went to kill a ***** repeat until bored, or at least that's how I remember it.

We were linked with Chris Templeman when he was at Brechin but we signed Hissy instead I think.

Is Malone not a full back?

From todays Inverness Courier: Any clues as to who this is? If we had scouts at First Division games could it be Dougie Imrie, left-sided Clyde attacker?

We shouldn't make wholesale cahnges. In fact, we shouldn't make any unnecessary cahnges - Stirling are a good side who could easily beat us. It's a tough tie and we have no right to be complacent.

He is an overrated wee ned. Take a look at Alex Williams or Brian Carrigan to see where his career is going.

Chic Young sounded blootered on reporting Scotland. "The Rangers fans found the french flavours too spicy or perhaps not hot enough..." :024:

Naked dancing go-go girls.

The Irish Leagues might be a good shout. Reading signed Kevin Doyle a couple of years ago for £80,000 and now he's a top scorer in the premiership. I think that Mark Brown will leave, I'd imagine that Hibs would be looking at him. Dods seems certain to go as well.

I don't think a players attitude depends on his passport - Nacho Novo had a good game for Rangers I thought. Sebo is a trier, it's just that he is absolutely ***** at football. I thought Le Goon's biggest mistake is not strengthening his defence - Hemdani and Svensson aren't going to inspire confidence in your team. Hemdani is a holding midfield player who is a decent footballer but when he was faced with someone like Bayne who was always going to pressure him physically he couldn't handle it. Svensson looks raw, a rookie who makes mistakes. Shocking play from him loitering on the penalty spot for our first goal. I didn't think much of their full-backs either - Papac looked average and had poor distribution and Hutton is the archetypal Rangers youth player, i.e. *****. He is the new Maurice 'Screamface' Ross. The key to our success was that we exploited these weaknesses by getting quality balls into the dangerous areas. We had more chances in the first ten minutes against Rangers than we did in the ninety minutes against Dunfermline. If you are facing a side who have a shaky back-line then put them under pressure - balls in for the forwards to chase, get it wide and stretch them out, get good balls in from set plays. We did all that to a tee. We need to do it in EVERY game now - Rankin in particular needs to take confidence from his dispaly and show that more often.
