Nope. If we beat Italy we're 4 points ahead of them and they only have one game left

Is Brew still the right man for the job? Like a number of people on here I didn't think he was when he was appointed, but he's in the job now and I'll be happy at the end of the season to say I was wrong if he turns things around. He does have a lot of work to do if that's to be the case though, starting with finding a solution to the defensive problems

"I wonder if a ball would roll on this green stuff. Feck it, we'll just play safe and keep it in the air"

or he'd been nominated to go find and bring back the ball following a shot by rory in training :016:

.............and did the board interview him to find out?

If you look at the last 3 managerial appointments made the board took a chance on each one. Robbo and Brewster lacked experience as managers and CC lacked experience and had no real profile outside of Inverness. Surely if Warnock is even a remote possibility it's time to take a chance in the other direction and bring in someone high profile with bags of experience. We're not a diddy club from the Highlands enjoying a holiday in the big league now. We're an established SPL side. What we need is someone to take the club to the next level. I'm not a fan of a some of the things Warnock has done and said throughout his career, but one thing that can't be denied is that his teams go out and play with passion and fight for the cause. He has experience of taking teams with limited resources and pushing them on from the position they were at when he took over, and if there is a genuine interest from him then the club should be doing what they can to try and work a deal out. Coyle would be the traditional risk that we've taken in the past as an inexperienced manager and so far, in varying degrees, they've paid off and we've had no disasters. Coyle or Warnock? For me it has to be Warnock if there is a choice. Brewster would certainly not be my choice, and clearly isn't the choice of many on here. I have no problems with the fact he wanted to manage the club he supported. It was the loyalty speech beforehand that left the sour taste in the mouth. As many have pointed out Brewster the player helped Brewster the manager to have a decent record at ICT. The problem was that tactics revolved around Brewster the player, NOT making the most of the squad at his disposal. Surely at 41 (i think) that isn't exactly long term tactical thinking and without Brewster the player, his record at Dundee United doesn't really fill me with much confidence that "plan B" should have got much further than the drawing board. At the end of the day it looks like it'll be Brewster (unless the board are using the ease of naming Brewster to fill the rumour sections while doing a deal on the quiet, which is unlikely) but whoever it is let's hope the fans get behind them until there is a reason AFTER the appointment for justified criticism

As a lot of people have already said it takes a brave man to make the decision to step down, especially for someone who genuinely has such a connection to the club. A true legend at ict and a man that I'm sure everyone on this forum wishes all the best for in the future. Thanks for all you've done as a player and a manager. Hopefully you'll be at the club for a long time to come in some capacity

For anyone that doesn't know, the highlights of the spl games are online each week now. I think you have to wait til after 6 on a Sunday to watch them though. Still, it means people not in Scotland get to see them and no one has to sit through Scotsport now :016: Highlights

Who needs Dargo and Wyness when we've got Dods? :016:

Looks like CC has gone for Dargo and Wyness up front for this one (according to skysports team lists). Let's hope they can prove everyone right who said this is the way to go :003:

Keogh is going for an operation this week apparently. This was from last week -

Good point brought up by Alex there regarding players coming back from injury etc getting some football in and regaining sharpness at Peterhead. That would be a benefit to both clubs undoubtably, Peterhead get experienced players for a few months and when they come back to us they've been playing regular first team football. Would be good to see some of the younger players getting a chance of regular first team football as well and coming back to Inverness confident after getting a run of first team games

:025: :025: :025: :025: :025: well done Charlie. well deserved. let's hope november brings the same kind of results :022:

got to go with everyone else on this and say pele. looking good for CC at the moment though
