Exactly what is his role ?

Sneckboy, you are quite entitled to form your own opinions....but you are not entitled to form your own facts, especially erroneous ones.

 

Tomorrow nights match will be the 13th game in 46 days for ICT.  No other team has had a schedule that comes anywhere close to that.

 

What makes it even harder to swallow is that it was not a situation of our making.

 

I take exception to that, CaleyD.

 

If I'm posting, then I fastidiously check my statistics before submitting. I stand by my observations that we've played no less games than Aberdeen, Celtic, Dundee United or St Johnstone.

 

OK,  I don't doubt for a minute your stats - but the figures I 'quoted' were for the full season!

 

But, while I'm on, I've got to say, this obsession with tiredness is incredible.

If Billy was knocking the goals in, I doubt anyone would be saying, "hey, Billy must be tired around now, we've got to rest him"!

 

Luis Suarez playing for Uruguay at the World Cup? - after the season he's had, at that level? No thanks, he'll be too tired!!

 

Sorry for the sarcasm, but this 'too tired' applies to all teams! How can't folk see that? It's their job! We don't get 'rested' at our jobs!

To be brutally honest, in football, 'needing a rest' tends to mean, not good enough!

 

And finally, ICTOline is surely forum for all - not just for folk wanting to 'big the club up' at any cost - what it is, and should hopefully remain to be, is a platform for discussion, with both praise and criticism. But what it's not is a fans' forum, per se...one doesn't exist!

We've only one discussion forum (demonstrating how small a club we are), so naturally there will be conflict!

 

Do we really want the irony of a split into (Caley Happy Clappers) and Inverness Constructive Talk - (ICT)?

There would surely remain some bitter resentment if the two ever tried to merge?! 

Got to a Cup final, first derby win in Dingwall for almost forever and yogi and latapy are doing poorly? Let's be fair here yes we've not been consistent in our performances and at times we've been comical to watch. But on our a day we can play. Is it gonna take time to get us to do that consistently? Yes. Will it take time? Yes. So calm yer titties mun! We'll be back to our normal selves in no time.

This forum will be much less fun if we have to stick to facts Don

What is the difference between Russell Latapy and Malaysia Air Flight 370 ?

On the face of it don't know why assistant wasn't present in dug out for a "must win" match tonight. Or have I missed something?

He was there tonight and made a brief appearance. Must of been sitting in the dugout.

Oh well apologies to RL. Every time I looked it was only Scott Kellacher I saw

Perhaps you have tunnel vision ?

To be fair to you it was that brief if you blinked you missed it. Kellacher was very active last night.

Happy clapper alert !!!

He was not in the dug out last night.i was sat in the row behind.

I am sat above the ICT dugout and a good view of it and I definitely do recall Russell Latapy making a brief appearance.

Putting the 2 previous posts together it sounds perhaps as though he was there - but hiding under the bench. 

I have a further fear - I recall that we mistook Marius Niculae for Daniel Niculae when the dodgy videos came through from Bucharest. Who the feck could be the double of RL ? Could it be the Arnold Coleman double ?

Maybe he just nipped out for a smoke

No wonder, what a size he is!

EDUCATE?

 

He meant simply ...educate the players in his methods or views.

 

Not that he is arrogant..

Think you are right there Scarlet................good job we have tunnel vision...............don't see the wider issues.....lol

Original...

Insightful article in today's Inverness Courier with Marley talking about Russell : http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/Watkins-hails-Latapy-impact-14042014.htm

Now that is an interesting little snippet.  Thanks for posting that.

Even more disappointed - anybody indeed many hold that footballing philosophy - I would prefer to see his influence on the pitch and on the sidelines instead of maintaining the ability to nutmeg. Plus Watkins was polite and respectful rather than influenced and admiring of a role model.

I think its the fact you fail to take into account the amount of games played in a short space of time and the sizes of the squads. Lets forget Celtic as they have a different line up every week and have a squad near 40. 

Where other teams had European "campaigns" (or competitive pre season fixtures essentially) they were not all piled into 6 weeks. Also, most of those extra games come in a period where there is space between games and the players are fresh, having only just started the season.

And on Suarez, I'm sure he's more than happy to play for his country at the world cup... he's hardly had any cup games, no European games and missed 4 games through suspension at the start of the season.

But forgetting any specific player by name, how often have players struggled at summer tournaments because they are running on empty. It happens quite a lot. Especially to English players or other Premiership players who don't get a winter break.

However in saying all that, it shouldn't be an issue for the next 5 weeks as they've had a 2 week break and I'd like to think the management team would have squeezed some rest days in there to freshen them up.
