Hi Gentleman and ladies of course,

i am exactly who it says on the side and i would be more than happy to answer all questions any fan of Inverness Caedonian Thistle would like to put forward to me to avoid any doubt over anything that you have been speculating over regarding fitness, tactics ,rumours ,assistants anything football orientated things you see as success or failure i am happy to answer whatever i can and you will be getting it straight from the horse s mouth so to speak.This will hopefully give you the real facts and truths behind my career to date should you so wish.

Thank you

Kind regards

John Robertson

This has been great Robbo and a welcome break from the Brew bashing. What a great weekly forum this would be.

DONE DEAL!!! lol (we'll dicuss more over a beverage thats long in the waiting)

No comment on this thread - has anyone noticed that I aint changed ma signature fer ages ?!

No Scotty

Its not Mo i have been working away with a contact on the posssibilty of setting up a feeder club in the usa that would allow all the best young players to be brought over to the club for trials and assessment in my mind the usa is a huge potential area and one i would encourage my next club to get involved in.

As regards team selection i dont think it is very fair to ask that as i am not the manager of the team

kind regards

The MLS is definitely a good hunting ground ..... Rangers took Maurice Edu from Toronto and I had the privilege of watching him in TFCs first season, if Walter can get him playing to his potential he will be a star. Its expected that Marvell Wynne (a tough no-nonsense right back with blistering pace) will be the next TFC player to head to Europe and I think this year will be a big one for Abdus Ibrahim (nickname Ibee) a teenage "wonderkid" who looks tremendous. The same is true for most MLS sides, plenty of young talent which is starting to go eastwards, some decent 20-30 somethings and the influx of "fading" stars coming westwards ... its actually quite entertaining.

Sorry I mised you Robbo, the best thread we have had on here for a very long time!

Just wanted to thank you for the best footballing day out of my life - nay make that best two days as the win at Clyde the week before was something very special and set us off on the walk up the road full of high spirits.

Could not believe it when you walked into the end of season party and handed the trophy to me and Part-Timer for it to begin its journey round the room. What a fantastc gesture to the fans that was, we will never ever forget it.

The very best of luck to you in your next venture wherever that may be - slainte

Hi Robbo,

Been reading this today and what a lift it seems to be giving all those on this site. 24 hours of no abusive post. Great tonic.

My question: Last time I seen you you were driving away from the Drumossie on the night of Bazza's dinner. Why didn't you stay and buy me the drink you owe me?

Be in Heathmount on 2nd /3rd Jan if you want to buy it then

I've always said since i was about 15 that the MLS would start to produce some good players and the USA and Australia would have an impact on world football (or soccer) in the years to follow. Yet i was often laughed at for this. Alot of the guys over there have the technical ability in abundance and the grass roots system (from what i here from my cousins over near Toronto) seems in far excess of our own here now. Now they are starting to get some passion for the game and it is starting to gain popularity (tho will never overtake Basketball, Baseball, American rules) i think that the market over there will be a key hunting ground in years to come.

I've heard of the young Ibrahim. Believe he's a young midfielder. Jozy Altidore im sure was making a name for himself too. Its a shame that young Adu struggled to cope with his early found fame. Hopefully he'll find his feet in Europe soon. Is he still at Benifica for that matter?

So the sooner Brew gets the sack, the sooner Robbo can tell us if he wants the job eh

We're finding it hard to score goals at the moment, most of our strikers are of quite similar stature (Wood, Barrowman, Rooney. McAllister) do you think we need a wee man like you to act as a foil to our target men or is that just an old fashioned cliche?

Hi robbo,

know you've logged off, this one for the next time: why do you think we have such a lousy current home record? Is it the pressure of the fans expectations, the players cannot break a team down, other teams have susseed us out?

Hi Robbo

Until Caley D put his stamp of authority on here by stating that you were THE Robbo I was sceptical

But....er....then, why have you not completed your profile on here? For me it would be interesting.

One question though. Could you please tell me what happened in Ireland that convinced you to come back to Scotland and leave Irish Football behind. Were you too homesick ?

Cheers --I also enjoy your Open All Mikes commentaries ; honesty and passion --two great qualities.

Robbo

In your opinion does a club of our size really need a first team squad of 21 or so. Would we not manage with around 16 in the first team squad, better paid and thus better quality supplemented by the youth players ?

HERE COMES THE CAVALRY!!!!

Robbo....

Can scarcely believe that I've found a positive source on this site! Many thanks indeed - my night is made (especially after that game yesterday at St Midden)(one to forget)(a good day out, spoiled by the result).

Your input is definitely a breath of fresh air to the Forum! When will you be back to ICT in a paid capacity - soon I hope? So many happy memories and whenever you are doing the radio commentary, we all know it will be fresh, concise and not (south of A9) nonsense. From the North Stand, the binoculars are trained on you!!!!!! in the press area - here comes the master, with his expert views.

Best regards to you and 'her indoors' and her laptop.

This thread should be preserved for history as the most inflammatory ever and aimed at the downfall of the present regime. Arent internal feckin politics great ?

What a feckin great thread / idea. ;) :thumb04: :018:

But hey guys - if ya need a replacement fer Mike Smith ?

I think coming on here and answering all these questions is one hell of a gesture to us. It's been tremendously interesting and informative.

May I just say that the way you constantly stand up for us during your radio appearances, taking on those who might consider us to be a piddly backward club (mind you, we probably are a middly backward club) has also been noted by the ICT support and is much appreciated.

But hey guys - if ya need a replacement fer Mike Smith ?

I know a Miss Wilson who could do the job

Well - I know a Mr Wilson who may just "top" the Judas Shearer ?

What a fantastic post

I've switched to listening to Open All Mikes because you're hilarious and Scott Davie and Brian Irvine just pi55 me off with their relentless ICT bashing ;) And because you gave me my best day in football (when we won the 1st division) and my worst day in football (the day you left) (and my 2nd best day in football when we beat Hearts at Tynie :018: what a mess we were in :thumb04: ) I'm not even going to ask you any questions - even though I have loads - just wish you luck for the future and hope that you manage to find a good club to manage preferably a ten minute drive from your house

Lx

For those who missed this first time around, have a read and most of your questions have probably been answered already. He certainly explains what happened after he left us for Hearts.

To avoid any confusion, Sally is Robbo using Mrs Robbos computer. :-)

Yes i am certainly looking to get back into management

That is my long term aim unfortunatly it is a business that is cut throat and you have to wait for someone else to lose their job it is nice to see that boards this season have not sacked anyone to quickly and have given their managers some time although it is frustrating waiting .

however i have put my time to good use and have made some great contacts in Europe and Usa for future use as well as taking a sports psychology course online and watching lots of games.Also been doing some forward coaching and been helping two premier league players with advice on the above aspects as well as radio scotland so been keeping busy awaiting the possible return to management.also main job is ambasssador/business development manager at Orion .

kind regrds

robbo

Just thought I'd highlight this part of this particular post for everyone to see that missed it.
