  1. Thought I would post in Butchers post match thoughts- "It was horrible really. Horrible to watch and very frustrating for the players because Morton strung nine men across the park and left one up and made it very difficult for us to break them down or allow us through them. "Every Inverness Caley Thistle fan and player in the ground was frustrated but it was a case of getting through the first 45 minutes against the wind and then with the wind in the second half getting more balls behind their back four. "In the end it was a good breakaway goal, which typifies us really this season. For Inverness one of the most wonderful sights you could see was the number 9, a local boy, hitting the winner from about six yards. "But he will still have to hoover and sweep up the dressing room and do the usual thing."
  2. Well, I'm awful glad he was on for 65 minutes. When did Mannie last score with the end of his tinkle? I know you were wanting Ross to get a game but I think you should admitt you were wrong and he isnt ready. It seems everyone at the game agrees other than you. Yes he scored but any player in our squad would have scored that goal. Other than that he contributed nothing the whole game and offered nothing down his side. Sanchez would have created more than Ross did, hopefully Ross will come onto his game and get a run out if we can secure the league before the end of the season but until we do he shouldnt be in the first team. Scoring a goal doesnt mean you are a great player or had a good game, I remember darren thompson scored a crucial goal for us against st. mirren in the cup, didnt make him a great player though! Dont get me wrong im not slagging Ross as a player, I hope he becomes a regular for us but this isnt the time and he isnt ready.
  3. Knowing our new announcer he prob said it was the world cup semi finals but no i'm pretty sure its the Inverness cup final. A chance for the youngsters and reserves to get a run out, dont expect to see any first team players getting risked ahead of the derby.
  4. Today's game was a classic case of Butcher not having done his homework. It took him 70 minutes to realise that Hayes and Ross might be more effective on opposite flanks. To be fair I think Hayes had a better first half on the right. It wasnt hayes that was not as efective it was that Ross was a little bit less inefective on the right. Would rather Odhiambo on the right and Sanchez filling his place
  5. Well there isn't much else filling them!!
  6. Was it Mihadjiks (sp) that Butcher dropped to play Tokely at CB last season? Im not totally sure if there hasn't been a falling out here or if he is unhappy with him. After the Dundee game I read comments from Butcher where he said he was furious with a couple of players in that game. I dont remember Bulvitis having a bad game, was he at fault for not closing down the player for the second goal? Just as after this game he seems to have been dropped, not due to injury as he is on the bench. Could he be a player Butcher was furious at? Also Sanchez had been benched and played little part since.
  7. I think he needs to work on his first touch, to often the ball come to him and his mis-controls it 2-3 yards away from him, leading to him being robbed of possesion or being closed down to quickly.
  8. Well you were the only person that had posted so it wasnt gonna be about anyone else's!! Good to see you don't want Lionel in midfield for this game though!! Anyway yeah he wasnt great but quite a few players didnt perform today, can't really drop him after one poor game, we know he can and has done a lot better recently.
  9. Didnt work for Ross, that is prob the reason they changed it about as Ross was even less effective on the left of midfield. But Hayes plays well on the right as he not only crosses the ball but can cut across the defence, take men on and come inside to shoot. We have scored a few goals from Hayes cutting inside into the box and shooting. This would be the idea behind it but as I said on the other flank Ross wasn't able to do this.
  10. Hmm would put in odhiambo instead of Mcbain though. The midfield there is a bit defensive and with duncan and cox playing the defensive midfield role we could do with a bit more going forward on other side of midfield to Hayes.
  11. He wasnt great today but he wasnt our worst player either. He played ok in spells and had some good play in the middle of the park but yeah motm was taking it a bit far!! Maybe the announcer got to decide it today, he didn't even know the difference between Bulvitus and Sanchez last tuesday so prob just closed his eyes and pointed at a name. Or maybe he thought our left back was called Odiambo.
  12. Poor poor performance today, looked nothing at all like the team of recent weeks. A win is a win though and we would take 1-0 but we were lucky to win that game today. Attacks were few and far between. Dont want to be harsh on Ross but Butcher's team selection was awful today. Ross did nothing today and seemed lost and if we play like that next week we will lose. Sanchez should have started this game especially with Foran out as we were creating nothing, also to put on Eagle instead of Sanchez was a strange one. Sanchez has to start next week. The main problem today was the suspension to Foran, we looked a diff team without him today and the hard work up front was left to Rooney which left us lightweight up front. Even though Rooney played well and battled hard he was winning the ball out wide, doing the hard work then playing it into the box where we were lacking Rooney's presence then!! He cant do it by himself and today showed what a miss Foran really is. On a good point though I thought Gollabeck had a fantastic game and was my motm.
  13. Didn't even bother reading most of this topic ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz Why do in Scotland people presume that you have to either support on of the OF or at least have leanings or a favourite out of the two of them. How about I couldnt give a flying feck about either of them equally. Why not start a poll on who do you prefer Albion Rovers or Forfar Athletic becasue that would just be as relevant to me as this one.
  14. Came over from the Everton Rooney Rooney Said Man U is the team for me Rooney Rooney He's five foot ten he looks like Shrek We wanted Adam but what the heck Wa-ayne Rooney United's number ten
  15. What would be best for us would be hibs and county drawing and also dundee drawing. Would give them extra midweek games to deal with.
  16. Would rather Sanchez came in, this is not the time to be playing inexperienced youngsters.
  17. We need to get the first team regulars signed up on new contracts or I feel we could be in this league for years. If we dont win the league this year and many of them leave then we will be concined to the 1st for a long long time, just look at what had happened to other teams who have gone down, some have dropped down a division further and don't look like returning any time soon to the top division. We have though seemed to have clicked recently and if we missed out on the league this season but kept the same team for next season then I reckon we could run away with the league. I know we dont know budgets etc if we dont know what league we are in but surely we can offer contracts where the pay depends on what league we are in next season and with a wage rise on promotion if we don't make it up this season.
  18. Good that this game isn't getting decided on a flip of the coin. It's being decided on the best football team in the league playing one of the worst at home, 4-0 home win!!
  19. Only 1 more win if they lose. If they draw then we need them to slip up twice.
  20. Cox and Odhiambo both had good games on tues, what have they done to deserve being dropped?
  21. Off the bus. 4-0 ICT!!
  22. How would they know it was you at the turnstile, were they checking every season ticket untill they found the right number! Anyway to be fair to him though, I never check that my direct debits have come off my account, just know that there is enough to cover them and let them take care of themselfs. If they were being paid without problem in the past I wouldn't expect there to be any problem in the future. I certaintly wouldn't be checking every month to see if ?10 or so had come off for a ticket, just expect it to have. On the occasions where I havent had enough to cover my phone bill then I'm alerted to it pretty quickly by the company.
  23. When did we ever? I would sincerely hope not that is the worst set up out of the lot of them! I would be happy with the way it is but with playoffs introduced because 1 up 1 down is terrible for any league.
  24. Odds on sandy missing his train.....think the bookies would have paid out already, as soon as he mentioned boozy night!
  25. You seem to post a lot of nonsense half of the time and just blatantly make things up the other half. Where did you get that lot of guff from? Was it just made up again? The old firm do not get 5 votes each, every club get 1 vote and and it was changed a few years back from an 8-4 vote needed to pass something to a 11-1 vote.
