I agree entirely actually. We have Hayes, why aren't we using him as much as we can? He's proved he's capable of getting past his man! Against County, I lost count of the number of times I saw Hayes in the centre of midfield.

The emphasis was really on the long term career prospects because Lifescan will disappear in the foreseeable future once the government funding and grants run dry. I'm sure I'd find working in IT in Lifescan ok, but I'm sure the folk working on the production line don't exactly look forward to going to work.

Certainly the retail sector in Inverness provides the most jobs, largely due to Tesco. Lifescan are another big employer but again, it's hardly enjoyable work with long-term career prospects.

[Pedantry Alert]But you didn't say "some of the fans" you said "100% of the fans".[/Pedantry Alert] ^_^

Calling it like I see it... Obviously you see it differently.

1) I have merely pointed out the hypocrisy of some of the fans in picking this player for the LB slot in the upcoming game selection and then coming on here stating he is not fit to wear an ICT shirt. Where am I wrong?? You are wrong in that I have never, ever said I wish LDZ to be part of our starting lineup. If I have never said it, I'm pretty certain there are others in the same boat - thus blowing your "100%" stat out of the water.

How did playing with 10 men relegate us? As I recall, we played for a long time with 10 men comfortably, without conceding, no? What relegated us was a poor cross from where LDZ should have been defending, being scrappily knocked in by Higdon.

To clarify for you - you claimed 100% of the fans on this forum want LDZ at left back and have done over the last year. Hence my "not even close" comment. IMO over the last year I'd go with a figure of around 60-70%. I haven't given my opinion on the rest of your post but since you're interested: I believe LDZ cost us the game against County. (Note the difference from what you've suggested). I don't believe the booing was inspirational to the player, but I do believe it was necessary to highlight to Butcher that the fans have had enough of LDZ attempting to play football.

And there is the difference. You said 100% of the people that posted - something I'm not disputing. "absent friend" just said 100% of the people on this forum, which is simply not true. Even from when Zadi started playing under Butcher I have voiced my opinion that I'd prefer to see McBain playing there ahead of him - something many fans at the time agreed with.

I did a fair bit of editing before you posted your reply... :P

Your bit in bold is simply not true. Not even close.

Lets look at what is blatantly wrong with the team. We have shipped 6 league goals in 4 games in the First Division. Therefore, the obvious place to look is the defence. Proctor - Performs reasonably well in the right back role, able to get forward and track back. Bulvitis - Although questionable against County, he's been solid enough. Munro - A little slow, but has clearly worked on his distribution. Djebi-Zadi - A total liability in our team. Caught out at left back time and time again, yet no one else sees this? Look at our games in the SPL after the split and tell me how many goals we have conceded from a cross from where LDZ is supposed to be defending - I shouldn't have to specifically mention that the goal that relegated us was his fault? Two goals were directly attributable to him against County as well. He needs to go, and he needs to go now! Tokely will likely replace Proctor and make an immediate return to the team after serving his suspension providing some much needed marshalling of the back line. I worry that Butcher will attempt to persevere with LDZ at left back. If he does, is out of a genuine belief that LDZ can perform at this level? Or is it out of sheer stubborness? Remember, when LDZ was sent off against Falkirk, he made an immediate return to the team for league business... Let's hope that Golly comes in ready to do the business and show up LDZ for the wanabee that he is!

Duncan, Barrowman and Djebi-Zadi. Sorted!

Does Hastings still exist or is he injured? Esson Tokely Bulvitis Munro McBain Ross Stratford Cox Hayes Barrowman Foran Proctor and LDZ are dropped with immediate effect. Eagle out to give Ross a chance, and Barrowman comes in for the same reasons that ictchris gives.

Time to drop the bombscare permanently. I honestly believe that he should never, ever play for this club again. How many more goals do we have to ship from where he is supposed to be "defending"? We have two able bodied left backs in Hastings and Shinnie - time to make use of them I think.

I have to say that honestly, I long to move away to a bigger, better city where IT jobs are plentiful and the pay is good. With a bit of luck, this Microsoft/Alchemy Data Centre will improve this and I wont have to move away.

You're totally not going to get random folk calling your mobile then... Probably best to remove the number from your post and PM Zoid.

Unless something's changed - he is very much a Ross County fan.

There are astroturf pitches beside the Sports Centre and the Aquadome that they use. I'm fairly sure that there's a new football place similar to Goals being planned near Inshes Primary School.

I'll be there if my season ticket comes through! :tonguecheek:

I've only played twice but it seems well organised. 6-a-side is a killer though...

An "acquired" bag of cold tar.

I'll have Stratford in the team over Duncan any day. Mind you though, I'd have most folk in the team before Duncan.

Would that not fit better if it was: "Was f**k Brewster and Ross County"? I like it though... It feels wrong singing to that tune...

"Your father is your brother, Your sister is your mother, You all f**k each other, The County family" "You are a gypo A smelly gypo You're only happy on giro day Your mum's a stealer Your dad's a dealer Please don't take my hubcaps away"
