Draper for Mulraney at half time.  Not sure I agree with that one.  Mulraney sounds like he's been poor but I don't like having all 4 of Tansey,  Draper, Vigurs and Polworth on the pitch at the same time. They're all too similar and 3 from 4 generally gives us the best balance. Particularly when we have a striker who plays with his back to goal as we cant go in behind.

Well this is unexpectedly terrible. Massive improvement needed in last 25 here.

Oman Biyik's Badboys are back. Hoping to improve on 3rd place.

Different gravy. Pacy, direct and clinical. More of that please.

See any home match from last season....

Bit OTT from Partick. If they finish top 6 they'll get their additional 2 home games. Maybe try and earn it on the park instead of expecting it?

Someone's been at his Wikipedia page already.

"On 17th June 2016 Jake joined Inverness C.T. on a 2 year deal as the second signing for new manager and all-round street fighter Richie Foran. "

I wouldn't be surprised if it was in our interests for Yogi to get another job - say within 6 months of the termination date.......

John Robertson, Craig Brewster mk1, Charlie Christie all given first managerial appointment at ICT and more importantly all thrived in the environment. No doubts that the setup here will allow for the same thing for Richie.

Not my first choice purely because he has no experience, but he certainly seemed like the sort of player that could go on to be a manager given his attitude and leadership qualities. I hope we bring someone in as assistant with a bit of experience, Brain Rice has to go IMO. 

Rice is long gone.  Not widely reported but the severance package was for both Yogi and a rice. 

Very weird. Even the headline doesn't say he's gone.  Reading the quotes leaves us in no doubt though. 

It's ridiculous that we've got ourselves into this situation. Only a year after our greatest ever season the board and manager having a playground spat.

One thing I do want to say on this is that the same thing happened with Yogi at Falkirk. He eventually bullied the board into giving him a much higher budget and it ended in disaster. The signings didn't pay off and the club almost ended up in administration.  I don't want want that to happen to us so if the manager can't work within  the prescribed budget there's only 1 solution.

Poor.  I thought we were very one paced throughout, had an end of season feel to it which is odd considering we have places and thus prize money to play for. Taking Ryan Williams off the bench was bizarre, has barely been seen since he signed and ran around like a headless chicken in the opposite direction to the ball. Odd signing altogether.

The sooner we get Josh back in the centre beside Gary the better. Josh can do a job at right back but he is very limited going forward, there were at least 4-5 occasions where he hit the ball out of play when crossing.  Devine also gets caught out of position a little too often, if you watch it back you'll see him chase the ball into midfield leaving a gap behind him.

All in all a very disappointing night, I think 7th is out of reach which may cost us a player for next season.

Possession stats look good as per but the build is do slow. An injection of pace and width required pronto. Oh wait. ......

Groundhog day.

Oh dear is all I can say. From what Hibs and Falkirk fans have said this type of decision shouldn't surprise us.  I would sincerely hope Yogi has a sitable replacement lined up however I fear that he'll probably end up pulling Lee Bullen out out of retirement.

"I'm honest enough to say I don't know what I'm going to get from this team now"

Comment from Yogi on BBC website this evening. Very bizarre thing to say, surely that's his job.  Is he thinking of walking?

Another last minute goal conceded, how surprising.  Looks as though we took off our attacking players for midfielders and lost the initiative. This has happened multiple times now this season.

This doesn't help either.  Also it looks as though Hughes is resigned to losing Storey at the end of the season.

That's bordering on unprofessional. I really don't want to hear things like that from our manager, why would anyone sign for us upon hearing something like that? It's hardly the most attractive thing for a prospective signing to hear.

'Please sign for us but should warn you that we're struggling to sign anyone elselse so you might be the only player we have and we'll probably be crap next season'

At least we still have a relegation battle to keep us interested for the rest of the season...... 

Garbage.

Really can't believe guys calling for Yogi's head.

Still in the cup, and the league should be no problem.

This type of attitude is part of the reason why we're in the position we're in. We can't afford to be complacent.

We are terrible. There is nothing left to say.

Very lucky to get a replay from that but i'll take it.  Cup dream is still alive for another 10days yet.

Most concerning thing for me was yet another meek insipid performance. We have so little creativity and at times it looks as though the players are scared to go forward and try something.

Still no changes. I don't even know what system we're supposed to be playing.
