I think if we can muddle along with the players we have until the January window,and dependant on results and league position ,we may not have to change the squad to much. I know we are a bit light defensively but other than that I don't think we should change the squad to much. A few players could be put out on loan and if there are players desperate to leave, then try and get some money for them first and then get them off the wage bill asap.(we don't want another Dargo situation) If we can get a wee run of form there is no reason for us not get into the top six. :021:

Nice to see a really positive first post :029:

I would always take what our director of football says with a pinch of salt. :023:

Parky - Some wee gobshite has stolen ma bottle of water,and I reckon its that Rankin that has it. Doc - naw its no him he only drinks from furry cups !!

Is it just me or does anyone else feel that we are rather weak when the ball is in the air ie most other teams we seem to play win more than their fair share of high balls against us. Which brings me on to my next point,why do we persist for long spells of games in playing the long high ball ? We seem to miss out the midfield for long periods, which is really frustrating as I know we can play some lovely football with the ball on the deck(as witnessed against Hearts and Falkirk) Any views from the masses ?

I am gutted :019: Thought we played really well (bar the 2 goals) and I really thought Italy were there for the taking today. Bloody football why does it have such an effect on me ? I am away to sulk for the rest of the week now

From the main ICT Web site. Tommy Cumming has been named as runner up for the 2006/7 season Scottish football groundsman of the year. The section was won by the Falkirk groundsman and the Celtic Groundsman got nominated also in a short list of three. Well done Tommy! I always think the park looks brilliant even with the SPL trying to ruin it with undersoil heating. :clapping03:

I think Tokely peaked a couple of seasons ago imho and him getting dropped for a period of time may do the team no harm(well it can't get much worse can it ??!!) But if Proctor comes in and does well, I fear Rosscos time could be numbered, as Proctor seems to be Brews "blue eyed" boy and he may find him really difficult to shift from the starting eleven especially if he plays well. Interesting times ahead methinks :024:

I really thought we had a good chance of winning today. But no we get gubbed yet again. Well Brew I hope the old coaching manual has a chapter on making your home ground a fortress, as we need all the help we can get at the moment. But hey its only a game right :023:

Here was me thinking we had quite a good disciplinary record :029: Oh well ! It could be worse, we could be Gretna :009:

Aye great idea having Bayne on instead of Niculae :024:

Duncan ,I'm sorry but any one who does not have him as the first name on the team sheet shows an obvious lack of football knowledge and tactics.The man probably breaks up more opposition moves than any other player in ICT history and his work rate is second to none. Wyness, if he gets the ball to his feet with his back to goal 9 times out of ten something positive will happen wih it. Don Cowie, what a revelation he has been,he never stops for the full 90 mins and is probably the fittest player I have ever seen. Marius,the man has class this we can all see but everyone seems to be making a big issue about his lack of goals,I personally would not be bothered if he never scored a goal for the rest of the season ,as long as he continues to set up chances as he has been, and Denzil and the rest just have to put them in the net for him,then I will be a happy bunny for the rest of the playing term.

Cometh the Romanian ! Is that not the name of an adult art film? :tic01:

What about trying Bayne at the back ?!! I seem to remember sutton playing at the back for Celtic and doing rather well! ( and lets face it, he could not be much worse than whats on show at the moment) It could also be a kick in the backside for the current defense, and give them a bit of a jolt and put them back onto their game. :024:

Tell him not to worry. There is a great set up for youngsters in Inverness. 1. Most of the primary schools in Inverness have teams that take part in the soccer sevens league 2.Ict and Ross County both have teams at various age levels ( Just make sure his rabies jab is up to date if he plays for county) 3.Inverness also has a good street league set up. So no matter what level your son is at, he will find a club and hopefully still enjoy his football just as much up here

Sounds like we were ok ??!!! The only players I could hear getting mentioned on the radio were Rangers ones. I am not sure if we had more than 5 passes in a row ? But maybe the we had biased commentary :024: Strange team selection today ie Cowie not starting and Proctor on from the start,but I am not the manager and I guess he had his reasons for the team that he put out. But hey ho its only a game.

Whats going on with this thread has everyone started on recreational drugs or something ? :004:

Lets burn him,and his brothers and sisters and his cousins and his great aunt Fanny who lives in Invergordon and while we are at it confisicate his pet goldfish ( Florence) who he is really close to him also. And lets make sure his name is forever wiped from the history books and anyone that ever mentions him again gets burned also. :023: Crass I know but " Let he without sin cast the first stone "

The football that has been played by us in the last 3 home games has been a joy to watch, the last time I have enjoyed watching football as much was Brazil in the 82 world cup :021: The way we are playing just now reminds of the Paterson era of some real attacking play, but not frightened to loose some goals either.(though no goals lost would be good guys) When the team plays like this it fills me with pride, and the feel good factor spreads like wildfire through the stadium. So keep it up guys and keep this " Eye Candy " going for the rest of the season as I for one bloody love it !!!! :003:

Good idea Tree,a cunning plan if ever I heard and a good time of year also with christmas just round the corner.

Thought Cowie and Black were brilliant today both did a power of work, and glad to see Blackie really screwing the nut regarding his discipline. :021:

Movin on up by Primal scream (coz I we cant get any bloody lower ) :tic01:

Ok I like many others felt let down when Craig Brewster left ICT and went to Dundee United, we all felt betrayed especially after him saying only weeks before how happy he was at ICT etc etc. I personally would love Neil Warnock to take on the job, but if he doesn't its not the end of the world. Now here is where we sort out the men from the boys! If Craig does come back what possibe effect is all the negativety directed towards him from certain fans going to have on the players? You think they are going to play at their peak with a percentage of the crowd giving abuse to the manager ? No, so whats the point in being bitter and holding onto the past ? Again no point at all. Now if one of your work collegues left to go to a new company after telling you how much they loved their current job,would you hold it against them for ever? And say they they didn't get on with their new employer and left ( or got fired) would you hold a grudge for ever and throw your toys out of the pram if they came back to work with you again? I think I would be big enough to accept them back.Again I say whats the point of getting all bitter and angry? It does no good to you or others.But what it can do is destroy a team spirit! Which ICT has copious amounts of. So no matter who gets the job please support the boys and don't let history affect your love for the great INVERNESS CALEY THISTLE :022:
