Any other club beware!! Inverness is a unique club that brings the best out of managers. But the facts are that when they move elsewhere they fail dismally. Steve Patterson to Aberdeen FAIL. John Robertson to Hearts FAIL. Craig Brewster to Dundee United FAIL. Terry Butcher to Hibs FAIL.

Pity there's an international break now! But, on the resumption, we've 3 home games in-a-row which is great. Definitely hope we can get Storey on a season long loan - but I honestly don't know the rules about extending loans outwith the transfer window, particularly as it's a cross-border loan, which often involves its own particular rulings etc. But, he does seem to be out of favour at Swindon, and is out-of-contract at the end of the season - perhaps we could be looking at a permanent move? The team's looking good presently - and although we've still a few players on the treatment table, I reckon the only one who would automatically get his place back would be Gary Warren. No slight on Dean Brill either, but it's hard to drop a player who's done little wrong. Very assured 'keeper. He paints a picture of calm authority!

Just over a week ago we were faced with a a pair of tricky fixtures against in form teams, and I'd have been really pleased with 2 points. To get 6 points is just brilliant. Mind you, our recent failure to beat Dundee Utd, even with half our team missing, looks a bit embarrassing now.

I'm sure he is very good at saying positive things about the Caley Thistle team. (compliments v complements) A couple of months ago I was heating up a tin of Baxters soup, and while waiting for the microwave 'ping' I had a look at the description on the label...and was astonished to discover that they'd sourced some talking herb! Apparently the thyme complimented the chicken! Perhaps, "good day, sir - you do look terrific, not at all fowl". Obviously, they meant 'complemented' - i.e...go well together... One swift e-mail (seriously!) and later that week, I received Baxters vouchers in the post and a letter assuring me that the error would be corrected in he next 'print run'! Sometimes, it pays to be a pedant! But, obviously, at the expense of a normal life. Are there no any stats requiring your urgent attention?

You mean throw out Lopez as part of the deal

Speak for yourself

Fanastic result, without our star player (Christie) in the team and made all the more fun I suspect for many, with our friends in the 'East' getting stuffed 1-5 (who'd of seen that, especially with their new international full back in the team!). Sounds like we fully deserved the win even if we had the mandatory 'squeaking bum' time at the end. Getting Vincent back fit is (almost) as big a deal as having Storey scoring. Given his previous record I didn't expect Storey to do as well as he is, so it shows how much of a gamble some signings are and how they work out of not......We are looking quite settled now, but the second half of the season could still be interesting, if Storey's loan isn't extended, and with Christie gone.....lets hope that Mutumbo, Lopez and Roberts (remember him?) develop some form that makes those potential losses less heavy. Glad to hear Polworth having a good game Palace up to third with a great victory, so a classic double win weekend Who give's a monkey's for the Rugby World Cup anyway!

Totally agree with previous posts, Storey is a great find and was outstanding against County, early doors some nice football being played by the team. .Chuffed for Polworth thought he had a great game and building in confidence. Fon Williams again some first class saves and a real team performance throughout. Top performance by the fans, 'Twist &Shout' never sounded so good.

Exactly, Scotty. It would take him time to re-jig and build up any team in the SPL right now. Partick and St. Johnstone came back to winning ways and it's quite a turbulent scene IMHO. John will almost certainly stay where there is stability of a sort and a good Board Chairman and build on his past success.

So the departure of Billy MaKay wasn't after all the same kind of mortal wound as the similar exit of David Bingham in 2004 was also predicted to become? The old adage "nobody is indispensable" probably applies ... Although management will need to get their thinking caps on for January if Miles does goes back to his parent club (along with Silva to his) ... Especially if, by that stage, we've put County to the sword again and are looking at a League Cup semi-final at worst.

There are 3 major trophies in Scottish Football, League Championship, Scottish Cup and League Cup. Highly unlikely we will win the SPL in the immediate future so best chance of a trophy is to win one of the cups. Why on earth would we want to play a weakened side and pass up the chance of winning a trophy?.

He's going to Liverpool!
