  1. Totally agree with this, something that some posters appear to have overlooked.

    Not to me it doesn't as things are not quite so simple. Nothing said about the loss of quality players who we were going to struggle to replace no matter who was the manager. Some posters have never wanted JH and have not been prepared to give him ant sort of leeway. To be sure, this season could have gone better but, in reality, will have been no worse, in terms of league position than many others. Clubs like ICT will always struggle to achieve consistency and the good seasons will be outweighed by ones that are less good as other clubs will snap up our good players. Just look at Dundee Utd as an example of how quickly things can change. The only way the club will really progress is twofold, by rearing more of it's own players and more fans attending on a regular basis. If that doesn't happen, enjoy the good seasons and continue to support the team during the bad seasons.
  3. Same here if still available and would be a plus 1 as well

    How the above could be classed as a quality post is beyond me. While I don't know the severity of Doran's injury, it does not look like it is career threatening and we are a much better team when he plays. If he is fit to play, we should sign him up. Why should we want to punt him and replace him with someone else who may not do the business. Again, why sell tansy unless he doesn't want to be here. He is one of our best and most consistent performers and can open up defences with his passing. Agree that Raven has justified a new contract but from some posts on here you would think he is a world beater. He is a good right back but no more than that. I don't like the way he has been treated but is this all down to Hughes. 6 contracts are with the board as indicated in the press and if so, could it not be the board are holding things up?. Were they waiting to see if we would be safe from relegation first before making decisions. Yogi is not perfect but the board are culpable on this matter as well.
  5. Deserved win today and for once the luck went for us for the penalty as we may have struggled without that boost. Today did again highlight some issues again for me. While everyone has been bemoaning our performances up front, I think defensively we were poor again today. Meekings is not a full back, only cover if nobody else to play. He quite often goes missing and caught out of position when attacking and defensively is not as effective as when playing centre back. Devine is too much of a bomb scare for me at times and his distribution can be very poor. I think this is part of the reason Warren is not playing as effectively as he can. Stand out performer in defence recently has been Tremarco. As for Yogi not appearing interested, don't know where that comes from, he was certainly up and shouting for large parts of the game.
  6. Totally agree with Renegade and Vigurs does not deserve to be dropped either and needs to play.

    All good posts but would suggest the people we really need to hear from now are the board. It would be good to hear their vision for the club going forward.
  8. Agree mostly with the above but possession football has to be the way to go albeit adapted for the players you have at your disposal. Remember that without possession of the ball, the game is much harder. Secondly, I don't think a club our size can ever hope to have 3/4 strikers on our books. At best 2 with a plan B to utilise other players if short up front. If you have 3/4, you will end up with 2 being, at best average, as if they were any good, they would not be sitting on the bench.

    Pure speculation and not helpful at all. As for leaders on the park, in my opinion, that is sadly lacking at present and I would include Raven and Warren in that.
  10. You can coach players all you want but if they make mistakes during a game, not always the managers fault (not defending JH here, just making a point).In my opinion, too much coaching of players at times and this leaves some unable to think for themselves.
  11. No he didn't and how he missed the foul on Storey bursting through towards the end of the match was a joke. He simply turned his back and ran away. At every free kick for us, Motherwell deliberately stopped us taking the free kick quickly and did this all through the game. All the ref had to do to stop this, which he could have done, was to book someone. Poor refereeing has cost us this season on more than one occasion although it is not just us who suffers. The refereeing standards are now so poor in Scotland, it really needs to be fixed quickly as they are ruining games.
  12. Some ridiculous postings on this. This was a game we did not deserve to lose but defensive errors have cost us again. Cannot agree that we were as poor as some posters suggest as Motherwell came here for a point and showed very little attacking intent all game. Only one team wanted to win the game. Tremarco was MOM for me by a mile with Vigurs playing well too .I also thought Storey did okay in the first half on the wing as was getting by the defender to get crosses in. One thing that is apparent is that when we do up the tempo in games, we play much better and JH has alluded to this in his post match comments. As someone has already said, let's tie up our place in the top league and plan for next season as it will be much more difficult with Rangers coming back up. While a lot of criticism has been aimed at JH (and rightly so), some of this needs to be directed at the board as, in my opinion, they need to be more proactive in matters and I do sometimes wonder if they are just to afraid and cautious at times and cannot take the club up a level.
  13. Not me who is looking down my nose at our fans my friend as it appears anyone who disagrees with you is not entitled to say so. Didn't say anything about people being hurt or if seats were broken but if fans are behaving in an unseemly manner, even if only a minority, it can reflect on the club and perhaps discourage people from attending which is the opposite of what we both want.Being of a generation who have sung and shouted at football matches for over 40 years, I am happy to sing and support my team but will not sing along with certain songs if I think they are offensive. Enough said by me on this topic now.
  14. Whatever Dundee are paying, they can afford to pay more due to higher average gates than us. There crowds are a good 1 to 2 thousand more than us so getting more fand through the door is vital but Inverness does not seem to want to do this. If their American backers are also providing money........
  15. If away fans did this at our ground, we would be up in arms by jumping on seats and damaging them. Some of our so called younger fans think they can do what they want without consequences, time they either grew up or were punished and bugger off to create mayhem somewhere else. The club don't need them and your attitude only encourages some of these morons. Don't have any issues with fans getting behind the team but not for some of these actions from these "fans".
  16. This is where we really need the board/manager to have done their homework for next season and identify players now. This has been alluded to by JH but some of this has to be driven by the board. While I accept they have a difficult job to do, I genuinely think they are not proactive enough in football matters and we need a more aggressive figure to lead the board.
  17. Huisdean replied to ForanFan's topic in Caley Thistle
    It's the players choice to leave but Williams was certainly offered a contract, don't know about Vincent so obviously either went for more money or fancied a change. Not sure what the club could do about that. While Lopez was not a great signing, disagree about Wedderburn and way to early to make comments like this about Hughes. Some fans need to take a reality check at times over what the club can and cannot do. Power is in the players hands now.
  18. How about we get rid of your ridiculous suggestions.
  19. What is this with posters that Vigurs was awful at the weekend. He wasn't and played okay.
  20. Dear god, what have ICT done to deserve supporters like Lawrence and Shaun. And by the way, it was not the last few minutes that Falkirk scored in the cup final, that was us Lawrence.
  21. I am certainly not complacent but I totally disagree that we footered about for 70 minutes on Saturday. Not the greatest performance admittedly but we were more direct than in previous games and there was not a great deal of the tippy tappy football that we have witnessed previously. The fight and ability is there amongst the players but we need that little bit of luck to spark us (just like County's winning goal yesterday).
  22. Totally agree Alex. While stats may say only 1 shot on target, plenty off target due to very poor shooting but at least we were trying. Over the piece, we were by far the better team and did try to create things. I thought we were a lot more direct and using width especially through Williams in the second half and the sideways passing was much less in evidence today. Baffled by those who think the team lacked fight, it was definitely there but this was one of those days, we carried no luck and deserved something from the game. We have played worse and won. Really need to scrape a result from somewhere now and the game against County would be just the place to start. As for the poster who said Hughes was wrongly complaining about the throw in, he wasn't and there were several decisions that the officials got wrong on the stand side all afternoon although nothing major. As for Hughes joking and laughing with the Hamilton bench with a few minutes to go, I sit right behind the away dug out and don't recall seeing that, a case of someone having an unwarranted dig at Yogi. As for Hamilton, every time I have seen them they are an astonishingly dirty and unsporting team. Ref was conned into Devine's booking by the Hamilton player, Morris I think, rolling about as if badly injured then up and running into the box for the free kick. Kurtaj was another who dived at every challenge and won free kicks. As for Imrie, don't get me started. While some of Hamilton's antics amy be called streetwise, I hope we never follow there example.
  23. Agree Kingsmills, the players have to take some responsibility to change things on the park but this seldom happens now and not just with us. A case of being over coached perhaps and not wanting to come out of their comfort zone perhaps.
  24. Don't agree. Storey was a much bigger goal threat when we had Vincent playing but just wonder if he is too injury prone. Would liker to keep both though.
  25. Which is more than you could do,
