I’ve just seen Robbos news feature on STV tonight and on the back of this I thought I’d start a thread for positive messages to Robbo, here’s mine; Robbo, I think you are a very good manager and a great match for our club. From my experience, our fans believe you are elevating our club higher than resources permit and in that regard you are adding good value and that makes you one of our best assets. Your approach to youth players is so encouraging and our club feels like more of an Inverness club than it has in a long time. We can’t be there in person at the Caledonian Stadium to give you my backing in person, but we will return in numbers at some point!! Keep the chin up, lockdown is temporary ☺️

With today being the day of Ian Broadfoot's funeral, it is perhaps a day for a bit of reflection. Thinking of Ian today, I picked up my copy of 'Milestones and Memories" and looked back on some of the great days and wonderful people associated with the club. I also had Robbo in mind and I don't think I had really registered before that it is now over 18 years since he first came to the club as Manager. To be here now as Manager so long after first coming here is a testament to what he means to the club and how much of a fit he is for the club. Robbo may not have been here when the club enjoyed its greatest success, but he was integral to building the foundations of that success. Robbo's first spell with us may have been short, but it was full of success and great memories. In 2003 we beat a strong Celtic side in the Scottish Cup and made it to Hampden for the first time. Then in 2004 it was a 2nd consecutive Hampden Semi-final to go with the 1st Division title and the Challenge cup. We started life in the Premier League under Robbo's leadership, but with those achievements under his belt it was no surprise that he was tempted away. Now Robbo is back, albeit in rather different and difficult circumstances, and he has overseen a solid rebuilding of the team. But then Coronavirus struck. These are difficult times for all of us; much more difficult for some than others and Robbo has shown his courage and character in speaking as he has. Memories of the good times help to sustain us through the bad times and with the directors, staff, players and supporters coming together to support each other through this difficult period, the good times will return. You've done wonders at this club, Robbo. Always know you have both our support and gratitude.
