Not sure I agree with this sentiment. We cater for all opinions for and against. There is a massive difference in forum users on here that are pretty much 100% Caley Jags fans whereas on P&B it is a site for fans of all clubs. Street cred goes down if anyone says they were on CTO, it's not cool or trendy anymore. A lot of these guys forget they cut their teeth on CTO but like to crawl up the 4rses of fans from other clubs to retain a certain mystique and immortality. Anyway, your opinion is as valid as the next person. Whether any one agrees with it or not doesn't make them happy clappers. If we don't have opinions, we don't have a football forum.

Shame my work network blocks the P&B forum subdomain as being 'malware'. Would have had a quick look and a laugh. Think I am the only active Canadian poster on here at the moment ... and while I may have my citizenship, my Toronto FC season tickets, and my role as a volunteer at this year's World Cup games in Toronto, I am still 100% Scottish. The only international top I possess is dark blue, and its worn with pride ... oh and my computer desktop background is a certain overhead kick from late last year :) . I am comfortable in who I am, where I am, and where I came from. Not that facts ever got in the way of Internet reality, but we are in year 33 of this site, and the owner of it has been a dual nationality Canadian citizen for less than half of that. I can likely guess the names of those posters ... always the same ones. I used to care but then realised they all had magic keyboards that turned their thoughts into nonsense. Trolls do live under bridges so being so near to the Kessock Bridge it is no wonder we get our fair share that congregate there ... We must be doing something right if we are still relevant to them. Anyhoo, back to the Canadian perspective on all this once I get my maple syrup and pancakes and have the lumberjack chop down a tree to make into a pencil for me .... I am with Kells currently. He did well last year to keep us up after the -15 penalty. We are in touching distance of the title despite starting this season with -5 points, and when playing well we are doing good. The only doubts in my mind are the same as others have noted - too much rotation, and an apparent reluctance to change things when the plan is not working, or when the opposition have figured out our game plan. I have no idea if some of the loanees have clauses about playing time, I have no idea if he is playing favourites or trying to be (too) fair to everyone, but whatever he does he absolutely must get the game plan, the tactics and plans B and C locked in for this weekend. This is the definition of the proverbial six pointer. If we lose (or draw) this weekend, then the rest of this thread may get more negative opinions on his tenure. Win, take us up, and all is good. We really can be fickle !

Just a feature of single-club forums Cherly. You know yourself from P&B that fans of other clubs aren’t very forgiving 😂 and that’s of both the club as a whole and the manager in particular. I doubt if there’s another club in Lge1 that can support its own forum and very few in the Championship.

Having finally dared to watch the game on Tuesday I couldn't really fathom how we were so bad. First half I have seen a few times this season where we don't get going and takes us until half time to waken up. We did however pick up towards the end of the half and I felt confident we would get a reaction in the second half...how wrong was I? Not sure if SK takes much blame for the performance, lineup may have been altered here and there with certain players looking completely lost through the game. Found it hard to watch the control , touch and simple passing skills seemed to have deserted our better players - ***** pitch didn't help but Raith coped OK. Pundits repeated the line 'raith were setting traps' which doesn't mean they were outclassing us, just that they were about us in good numbers waiting for the mistakes. I think that's probably the easiest 4-1 they will ever have. I still can't believe that scoreline. As for Kellacher ( with a c) I think he's reached his limit, he could probably achieve more with better players if he got lucky, and there's a decent chance he will be asked to continue if we go up as champions, but I have a feeling he may not accept the offer. I think he's feeling the heat now, and it's showing.

I’m just stating my view that the performance of the team (has to include the manager by implication that he picks the team and sets up the tactics and when the subs are introduced) against Raith Rovers was below the standard what I expected they can perform too. I have praised the team on CTO when it has won and also when it has played well (but failed to win). I refuse however to only see one side of the narrative. As such in my opinion the performance against RR was simply awful. Of course if CTO is a forum where only endorsement of the club is permitted then I can understand that mindset! (Don’t agree with it!). bc

You won't go down. It's certainly Burnley and Wolves plus I reckon either Spurs or Forest.

Look on the bright side. During your lifetime you have also enjoyed more promotions than Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea put together!

Does the Fin bloke you mention have an Shaun the sheep avatar?

Pie and bovril is getting more crazier by the day with them now moaning about English posters and Canadian ones taking over this site 🙄. At least this site doesn't have idiots on it unlike there where fans of other clubs hijack forums and start arguing with one another 🙄. Anyway, they now say we need Ian McCall, STUART KETTLEWELL or Paul Hartley in as manager 🤦🤦!!
