  2. What on earth do people expect. Reality check folks. Let's be positive if there's reasonable grounds ... and I happen to think there is. Happy to get shot down at end of season if he shoots blanks but Anier has the potential to be a very decent signing. Appearances at Utd were shared with Mckay and Ofere. Utd may have gone down but had a decent squad on paper, other internal political issues didn't help. We have an exceedingly tight budget and not everyone wants to come to Inverness.

  3. Couldnt hold down a regular starting place at a relegation bound DUtd last season and other than a short run of games for Motherwell some few years ago has somewhat faltered. Not overwhelmed, think we have missed out on better options who have gone elsewhere.

  6. I doubt there's anyone out there on our budget that can single handedly save us ... we need a combination of more goals scored and less goals conceded ... I reckon he can play a reasonable part with one of these aspects ... but nobody can do it on their own.

  8. Speculating as I don't know details of the contract, but would have been certain conditions which would have allowed him to trigger the option....like making a certain number of appearances or whatever. Assuming whatever it was hasn't been realised and can't be by end of season, so option couldn't be triggered....either at all or in full.

  11. Personally, I'd very much rather not waiting until the last minute, penalty or not, to secure victory on Saturday.

  12. Always pretty tough making an impact after joining half way through the season. Don't think he's any better than what we have already so not overly excited by it. From what I remember he could play out wide or up top. A winning goal at BB would go down nicely, last minute preferably!

  13. A decent signing. Not prolific but experienced and familiar with the league. Who knows, we may have the pace and running of Miles Storey as well by the time the window closes.

  14. Was able to get my hands on the official number for visiting fans from the Elgin game at TCS....it was 1184. Stand capacity is 2496....so not quite half full.

  15. There's definitely a paucity of data on Scottish football, I suppose to be expected for a smaller country. There's a lot of dedicated amateurs, which can be better, but there's a lot of measures you see for the English leagues that aren't available easily in Scotland. Having checked with the @TheSPFLRadar the data for the radar charts isn't directly from Opta.

  16. This is my thinking as well. By no means the worst player in the world, but is he the goalscorer we need to save us from relegation? Well aside from spells in Estonia (where Tarmo Kink also had an incredible goal record) and a purple patch at Motherwell four years ago, he doesn't look it. I see some fans on here and on social media have already gotten excited over highlights videos of him. Remember the Dean McDonald Rule folks!

  17. Gringo if we get beat by them it will be without doubt the most embarrassing result in our short history For those slagging off Elgin fans I don't think we are in any position to have a go at their attendances, a successful Elgin no matter how ludicrous that sounds would match if not eclipse our fanbase similar to County I'd reckon If any of the N.E.S.C (Never Ever Stand Crew) are in attendance they will get an awful shock to see how the Inverness Football Fraternity has evolved over the years since the great days of yore In simple terms Elgin always wanted to be Caley but they never ever came even remotely close Jealousy is not an attractive trait Dougal

  18. Yup, all the cup clichés are beginning to appear from the woodwork..... clichés which used to emerge when Thistle or Caley were drawn against one of the country's bigger sides but different days now.

  20. Being an Elgin City supporter, I am sure that "elginloon" is a modest chap..... with much to be modest about! To maintain the Churchillian theme, as a football club, Elgin City is very much "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma". For years, conventional wisdom suggested that if any Highland League club ever got into the SFL it could be Elgin - although a fair bit of that was predicated on the claim that (at the time) they had a "nice stand". But then, when the opportunity came along in their Centenary Year of 1993, they completely blew it on being stripped of the Highland League title after the John Teasdale/ suspension rigging/ betting on the outcome saga. Eventually they did get in, though, and I for one hoped that they would progress at least some of the way that Caley Thistle and Ross County by then already had and we may even have got a three way North rivalry. Now it might have turned out better if the Porn Magnate had after all managed to take control of the club, but the unfortunate reality was that, despite some well-respected managers, Elgin remained lodged in the bottom league.... and worryingly often at the bottom of that. One of the factors which always seemed to be holding them back was that the club so often came over as not at all at one with itself. Internal strife always seemed to be hovering in the background and from time to time - such as with the Rangers Ticketgate affair - tended to burst into the foreground. This season may indeed promise to break the norm of serial failure the club has experienced since it entered the SFL if they can reach the League Two playoffs for the second time in something like 17 years. Eliminating recent Scottish Cup winners from this season's tournament would therefore be an unprecedented achievement for a club which has considerable experience of the unprecedented. Because, apart from being the first North club to reach the last 8 of the Scottish Cup (1968), they are also the only club to have been stripped of the Highland League title and also, in an earlier era, the only Highland League club to have scored "nul points" come the end of a season!

    • Inverness CT 3-1 Morton - Report
      It was a lovely evening for a game of football, what could possibly go wrong? Well, what did go wrong was Queen's Park beat an understrength Airdrie 2-0 at Hampden, therefore despite beating Morton 3-1, Inverness head for the play-offs. Morgan Boyes opened the scoring with a thumping volley after half an hour. Kirk Broadfoot benefited from slack defending to level before the break then proceeded to earn the wrath of the home support with an embarrassing celebration in front of the North Stand. Cammy Harper relieved Billy Mckay of penalty kick duties and duly slotted home from the spot ten minutes after the break. The scoring was completed just after the hour when Sean McAllister drilled home into the bottom corner. Robbie Muirhead had been sent off for simulation then taking a wee fit to himself and was promptly sent off after 58 minutes just after Harper had knocked in his penalty kick, probably aggrieved that he never earned a spot kick for his dramatic dive.

    • Inverness CT -V- Morton - Preview
      Well, where do you start. It was clear from the begining of the season that something was wrong. Poor signings, dismal performances in the League Cup followed by an abysmal start to the League campaign saw Billy Dodds removed from his position after winning one point in the first six Championship fixtures and replaced by a man with no track record as a manager. A sort of publicity stunt if you like. After the initial new manager bounce wore off, we found ourselves little better off with Big Dunc than we were with wee Billy. We did claw ourselves up to the coat tails of others but the most damning part of our season has been our inability to score goals, especially at home. Only already relegated Arbroath are worse than us. Our team is now full of mercenaries, loan players with no affiliation to our Highland pedigree and many fans have tagged us as being the worst squad ever in our short history. Where are the Golabeck's, Tokeley's, Wilson's..... Much of this can be attributed to our lack of financial nous in the boardroom, failed ventures and now the begging bowls are being put in place to save our club. Having drawn at Dunfermline last week thanks to Aribim Pepple's first goal for the club combined with Billy Mckay's penalty miss, it's now out of our own hands. LAST SIX: D L  W W L  D

    • Dunfermline 1-1 Inverness CT - Report
      Out of our hands now: It ended in disappointment for the 319 visiting fans with news that Queens Park had hammered Arbroath 0-5. To rub salt into the wounds, Sheridan and Welsh were amongst the scorers. It's out of our hands now, but it's a must win next Friday and hope Queens Park falter.  Inverness play Morton and Queens play Airdrie. A draw might be enough, but it's a long shot.

      I'm not convinced that Billy Mckay was the right man to be taking that penalty, his second failure from the spot in successive games against the Pars.

    • Dunfermline Ath -V- Inverness CT - Preview
      Aaron Doran looks likely to have pulled on the Caley Jags strip for the last time after limping off against Raith Rovers last Friday. Sean McAllister returning was a bonus though but the mystery deepens as to why Roddy MacGregor, Austin Samuels and Nikola Ujdur are not featuring either on the injury list or the team list. Baffling to be honest as Roddy has the midfield attributes required, Austin has the speed and potential and Nikola in my opinion, if fit, would be my first choice on the team sheet. Are these guys on the way out? Add to that seven or eight loan players, then next season will see a massive restructure and rebuild at the Caledonian Stadium. I imagine the board members are squirming in their seats like Angela van den Bogerd at a Post Office inquiry.

    • Inverness CT 0-1 Raith Rovers - Report
      Inverness threatened the Raith goal and but for Kevin Dabrowski and his bar they could have been dead and buried at the interval. No score at the break and all to play for in the second half. Vaughan opened the scoring early in the second half and Samuel almost levelled but his shot from distance cannoned away off the post. The crossbar was hit a further twice but the goal would not come. Despite peppering the Raith goal, MotM Dabrowski would not be beaten with a string of saves ranging from brilliant to miraculous.
