I thought you meant he was on Gordon Ramsay's show.

5-1 Liverpool. Milan are over-rated and needed a dodgey referee to get past an off-form Celtic side.

How can you possibly say that Wyness has been gash??? When he started getting a game he was terrific, some of his moments of skill were right up there with Michael Mols at his peak. I'd pick him ahead of jigsaw Bayne any day.

It's a tradition in theatrical circles to say 'break a leg' to performers before they go out on stage, it basically means good luck. Perhaps there has been a terrible misunderstanding? :tumble:

On his day he's as good as any player we've got, but he's still very inconsistant and mentally unstable. There's supposed to be a thin line between genius and madness, footballers are no different from anyone else in this respect. If he's gone and lost the plot as this thread suggests it's probably no big deal. He does it on the pitch almost every week, so nobody should be suprised if he does it off the pitch. The whole thing is probably just a storm in a teacup.

He's a good player but it's his antics off the park that let him down.

He doesn't score enough goals and he doesn't work for the team. I'd take every single striker and winger we've already got ahead of him any day.

The singing section was brilliant today, even Charlie turned around and gave them a thumbs up towards the end. The stewards as usual were totally out of order. They're supposed to be our servants not our masters. The club should stop hiring these psychologically questionable agency goons and give the jobs, at least in the home end, to sensible ICT supporters.

And who would have thought that Zander Sutherland would come on and end up marking Tom McManus out of the game? He had him in his pocket. :clapping03: Well done to Charlie for giving the youngsters a chance. Thats the second time this season Sutherland and McAllister have turned the game for us against the Pars. Rory had an amazing 25 yard pile driver just pass the post before he scored, and even though his goal was deflected I reckon it was going in anyway. Up until their introduction we were p1sh. Jigsaw Bayne performed like a Lada Riva, Dargo looked like he was going through the motions. Paatelinen kept trying to do the same trick every time he got the ball and got tackled every time. The only penetration we got was from Richie Hart, but his final touch was lacking. Blackie looked back to his best pulling the strings in the middle, the seasons ending at the wrong time for him. The best player on the park was Dunfermlines left wing back - if we're looking at nicking some of their players he should be top of the list.

In my experience the vast majority of Celtic fans that come up to Inverness are good craic. They probably are the most enthusiastic fans in Scottish football. How many other clubs have international fans conventions every year? Or have gigs set up alongside away games? (like Charlie and the Boys) I've never heard of any trouble with Celtic fans in Inverness - aye, you see them driving around waving their scarves out their windows tooting their horns and singing their Irish tunes but it's all good in the hood. Yeah, you do get plenty of @rseholes in the ground who get caught up in the crowd psychology - usually its stuff like refusing to sit down, I only remember seeing vandalism once. One of their fans waving one of the letters from the back of the stand (the ones to help you find the right section) that he must have torn off the wall - I don't think its ever been replaced (check out the gap). He's probably got it stuck on his living room wall as a souvenir. Totally agree with that, Aberdeen fans are truly the scum of the earth.

We're sending scouts out to Kazakhstan? This is the kind of story that the Courier used to print on April 1st. Absolutly bonkers. The lunatics are running the asylum at TCS. "Graeme Bennet is flying out to Romania in the near future, where he is set to meet up with two of the countries most well-known internationals for talks about bringing players to Inverness." Why can't he e-mail them? Phone them? Video link with them? What nonsense. Just another excuse for Grassa to go jetting around the world with our gate money. It stinks. I'd love to see a list of his expenses over the last couple of seasons. How do we know that Popescu and Hagi have any scouting ability? Why do we need TWO scouts in Romania? Whats to stop them from feeding us players who's agents have given them a sub? Won't all the best Romanian players be picked up by the likes of Dynamo Bucharest? How many other clubs have scouts there already? Is Romania even a member of the EU? Kazakhstan certainly isn't. I thought the rule was that a non-EC player had to have played in 70% of games for his international side to be eligible to sign for you, or to have been exempted by a special appeals panel (the same draconian panel that jarred Mario Jardel and Jason Scotland). How many good players has Kazakhstan produced? Is there a single player in the Kazakhstan national team good enough to play in the SPL? How did the captain of the Romanian national team Daniel Prodan fair when he played in the SPL? "Savage also revealed that talks have taken place with English Premiership champions Manchester Utd about the possibility of taking some of their most talented young players on loan next season." Nothing will come of this, it's absolute pie in the sky. Utd already have a feeder club in the Belgian Premier league, and we'll be competing for their players with half of the clubs in the Premiership and Championship. Even Rangers are sniffing around Old Trafford for loan deals like they had with Bardsley and Lee Martin. I don't think you can blame Charlie Christie or Donald Park for any of this nonsense, Savage seems to be one of these successful businessmen who walk into football with extravagant, conceited delusions of personal brilliance only to end up with egg on their faces. He's obviously a smart guy looking at all he's achieved, but you can't always transfer skills from one field to another. Forging links with Eastern Europe worked for him in the oil industry but is it a sensible strategy for a provincial Scottish football club? Only time will tell. I'd love for him to prove me wrong but from what I've heard from him, I'm not convinced that he knows what he's doing.

He hasn't scored many goals but he's got himself into loads of goal scoring positions. How many times has he missed by inches or hit the woodwork? He's been quite unlucky in that respect.

I'd prefer Martin Johnstone.

He was an absolute disaster when he was the chairman of Spurs, I'd take David Sutherland ahead of him any day. I never quite got why he was chosen for the British version of the show, he's not exactly Donald Trump is he? Just a big moutherd geezer who runs a mickey mouse computer company.

He's a brilliant set piece taker, crosser, dribbler and regular goalscorer. If Gary Teale can make it in the Premiership surely Robson can too.

This would be brilliant news. He was probably our BEST player before he got injured. I thought Brewster was a bit hasty punting him the way he did - he obviously doesn't like flair players because he punted David Fernandez form Utd as soon as he got his foot in the door. There have been times this season when our attacking play has been too one-dimensional and we've failed to convert pressure into goals. Juanjo would give the squad something a bit different and might be the kind of composed playmaker that we've been lacking.

What a moron Robson is, he's got the talent to play for a far bigger club than EITHER of us. If he got his head screwed on he could earn himself a move to the Old Firm or the Premiership.

He was in the Courier last week posing topless on a catwalk with a waxed chest. What was all that about? :029:

Mark Viduka took his boots off and threw one of them at the assistant manager or something.

I never rated him at all in the lower divisions but in our first season in the SPL he was immense - he absolutely terrorised opposing defenders with his crazy lung busting runs and unpredictable mis-hit passes. He was pure chaos - unfortunatly sometimes at the wrong end. Had it not been for his injury he'd probably still be holding his own. It was a shame that his waistline seemed to balloon as soon as he lost his place.

Watch out for Chinese whispers, soon there'll be rumours that Charlie Christie beats his dog.

County were awful yesterday, I think they were probably better under Bobby Wilson. Jardine and Cowie were OK. Their best player was a second half sub (didn't catch his name) who came on for the unimpressive Alan Morgan. We shouldn't touch any of the rest of them, especially their defenders, with a barge pole - or their keeper. As for Gretna, go out and put your mortgage on them going down next season. For as bad as County were they still should have won the game - they had so much time and space in the Gretna half in the last half hour but wasted it. A quality attacking team would have put 6 or 7 past them. And they were no better at the other end, all of their goals came from shocking County defending. Relegation might be the best thing that could have happened to County. Now they can start to cut their cloth more sensibly - no more dodgey SPL reject mercenaries. Hopefully they'll give some local youngsters and Highland league talent a chance. And how cool would it be to see a second division title race between County and Peterhead next season? I'll definatly be going up to Victoria Park to support Pele, Bavige, Spider, Mann and co. One more point, I had a laugh when the County fans sung... "They come from down the ferry, they haven't got a telly, they're dirty and they're smelly, the Caley family." ...Sounds like we've been out of their league for so long they've started to get a bit confused.

Look at the millions he spent at Tannadice - and where they ended up. He's a waste of space.

At the County game yesterday I heard a few of their fans saying "Jigsaw Bayne just scored for Caley". Anyone know why they called him that? It's quite puzzling.

I saw a few ICT tops in the Gretna end at Victoria Park yesterday - and probably quite a few more of us were in the County end. Why would you waste a beautiful sunny Saturday travelling to Dundee and back to watch a meaningless end of season game of football when you've got the most exciting game for years (Gretna had to win to go up, County had to win to stay up) just up the road?
