I'll not go against the flow here, I agree with the majority HC's line-up looks good but like one or two others, I can't see CC changing formations for this game. I'd like to see :- Fraser Tokely Dods Munro Hastings Wilson Duncan Black Rankin McSwegan Bayne However I feel Charlie will go with the same starting line-up that started at Motherwell, and I'll no' criticise it in case we win :004:

With all due respect EWS I think it's unfair to say we were never going to score. They piled on the pressure in the last 10 minutes or so, and came pretty close on a couple of occasions

I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought this. You can bet that if the bigot brothers were in the same situation they'd get their full allocation :008:

No.

:pale: :lol03:

Am I right in thinking that each substitution in a game automatically adds 30 seconds to additional time ? I couldn't believe it yesterday when the assistant held up 2 lousy minutes. At around the 88 minute stage my son had said to me "how much time do you think the ref will add" I'd said "at least 4 minutes, 3 minutes for the 6 subs used and at least 1 minute for injury and time wasting" Needless to say the wee chap wasn't happy the the 2 minute thing, it was one of those "dad you said....." scenarios A case of more inconsistant refeereing or am I wrong ?

Spot on IHE, the system is a farce.

I noticed in the Sunday Mail, that CC said words to the effect that he was raging at the defensive slip up that cost us the goal, the man who was meant to be marking McDonald was posted missing, he says he knows who he is and he's told the culprit. So who was that man? I watched Setanta last night and Dods was absolutely fuming at someone but I couldn't make out who, Dods seemed to be on Craigen and Munro was marking someone else further away. Any ideas ?

No, I think it's just purely the fact that he's doing a good job.

Bob, try the Caledonian Hotel (Ramada Jarvis) in Barns St just across from the Gaity theatre. I've always found it do be good. No' the cheapest though

I think you will be in a minority of 1 with a statement like that. How can anyone like long ball football? Its boring, reflects a lack of skill or vision which has no place in the modern game I'd rather we lost every week playing a passing movement game rather than be subjected to such p**s :008: Och I couldn't care less if I'm in a minority of one, who cares. The long ball gets a bad press but what's the first thing a team do when they're desperate for a goal ? And as often as not they'll get it !

Well once again the players can't be faulted for effort, poor first half all around, a momentry loss of concentration saw us lose a poor goal. I don't care what anyone says but the bulk of the second half was Inverness pressurising the Motherwell half, in fact Motherwell were playing on the break such was the fairly constant pressure. Having said that we were struggling big time to actually get a shot of any kind in. The long ball was fairly evident today, a style of play which I must admit I don't mind, especially when we've got a centre-forward like Graham Bayne to play to. Bayne was unquestionably our top man today. Some poor performances today though. After last week when I thought Duncan was excellent, I'm afraid I thought Russeldinho had a shocker, what a difference when Blackie came on. Paatelainen also gave us fresh ideas on the left, he looks like he's gonna be good for us. Young Rory was poor though.

Seem to remember he was involved in an extremely controversial game at Kilmarnock 3 or 4 years ago. Can't remember much about it other than Craig Levein, at the time Hearts manager, got heavily fined for his after match comments and was so incensed by the whole affair that he refused to pay it.

Cheers for your efforts :021:

That's a good point Strathman.Some folk have been asking for McSwegan or Paatelainen to get a start with Bayne at the expense of Rory. However neither the pair of them have scored in the last 2 reserve games whilst paired together, whereas Rory had scored in 3 of his last 4 reserve outings.

BPMD, would you happen to know where the ICT fans are stuated tomorrow ?

Hadn't realised that. I had a look at the Motherwell site to see if there was any info there but I can't read it 'cause it's got the tiny small type that is currently sweeping the internet, can anyone help this poor bloke who ain't computer literate, how do you make the text bigger ?

It'll be the massive double tiered job behind the goal. Each fan gets his/her own row :015:

Roy McBain got himself booked on Saturday. Seems to have been his 7th yellow this season. Anyone know if he misses Motherwell ?

I stand by my original post. I thought we fought really well and were extremely unlucky to lose a late goal to poor Hearts side, in effect robbed. Quite honestly I get the idea from this thread that the majority of the fans felt a draw would have been a truer reflection of this match.

Well let's just say I'd rather Inverness Caledonian Thistle got a 0-0 than a 0-1, particulary when I felt that the away team were every bit as good as the home team.

Joe Jordan for me. It's always been Scotland first for me, and I was lucky enough to be able to remember the World Cups from '74 onwards and as far as I'm concerned big Joe was my outstanding memory from those days. Absolute legend !

I don't want to bore the other members with this, but the reason for my confusion was that CH2 remarked to me that there was no way we deserved to win. I never said we deserved a victory, I merely said we were robbed. I asked CH2 to show me where I'd said we should've won, the quote about being robbed obviously refers to Hearts late goal to deny us a point. Surely this is obvious.

What does HTH mean RiG ?
