IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Yip - we now demand / expect more !!

Too much experience of poor tactical decisions losing important games, especially Cup games - an apparent loss of the degree of "togetherness" that resounded the previous season - a manager probably "saved" by securing an early contract and a winning end to the season - and a Manager of the Month award.

Is there an inkling that these comments are being made by an individual who remains convinced that he is spared of any responsibility, that he has been right all along, that others are to blame, that he has not taken on criticisms, that he is not going to change and has not learned any lessons from mistakes made ? Most things that I do not feel that he was at the beginning. Keeping Tansey and Storey would be a major coup but is this not all PR babble. And the comment about Meekings is frankly astounding.

The John Terry of Sneck ?

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager John Hughes believes there is no reason why his club cannot win a cup or achieve European football next term. A convincing 4-0 win over Dundee clinched seventh place in the Premiership for Caley Thistle. It was a fifth win in Inverness' last seven games. "The standards I felt we've set were last year. I want to keep those standards, keep driving this club forward," said Hughes. The Highlanders have found form towards the end of a season in which they have struggled for consistency. Now Hughes wants to set his side lofty targets for next season."Don't tell me that a provincial club like Inverness can't go and win the Scottish Cup again, can't go and get third, get Europe," he told BBC Scotland. "I'll not accept that, that's the standards but we all need to be on board and keep driving it forward." 'Let's keep what we've got' Hughes concedes there may be significant changes in personnel, but reiterated the importance of retaining key players. "I keep saying this, let's make sure we keep what we've got, guys like Miles Storey and Greg Tansey," said the manager. "Keep that solid foundation and lets go and add to it. "When it starts off again we have to make sure that we're bringing in or keeping players that we feel will go and take us back into the latter stages of cup competitions." It does seem fans' favourite David Raven will depart, with Hughes admitting he sees Josh Meekings as his preferred option at right-back. A number of players have been offered contracts to stay but the club awaits final decisions.

Pub football ??

This is the Keystone Cops of football

Polworth nipped in

Just when you think that it can't get worse the WORST player on the pitch - Ofere scores but Roberts strikes back - we're going to win 4-3

We have pace but why play Mutumbo and Roberts so deep. But what is the point in width when we don't have a natural penalty box striker.

Oh dear oh dear - probably a Meekings Og - so much apparent promise but no end product and no finisher.

Have to emphasise that the Arabs are shockingly poor

25 minutes. And still impressive. Mutumbo, Polworth and Roberts have good first touches. Storey could have equalised but good stop by Hiroshima. Arabs now concentrating on defending but we still need that finisher.

Our passing and movement in the opening 15 is as good as it has been all season.

What a feckin strike from Murray 0-1

Inverness CT Lineup: Fon Williams, Meekings, Warren, Devine, Tremarco, Draper, Tansey, Roberts, Polworth, Mbuyi-Mutombo , Storey Subs : Esson, Horner, Raven, Hughes, Foran, R Williams, D Williams. Dundee Utd Lineup: Eiji Kawashima, Durnan, Morris, Dillan, Knoyle, Fraser, Rankin, Dixon, Murray, Ofere, Mckay Subs : Johnson, Smith, Zwick, Donaldson, Coote, Robson, Offere, McKay and Rankin - and Ofere has the first strike

Well he probably still wants to go and is in a strong position to bargain. Then we get much needed compensation. Is this holding back on contracts rather than what place we secure ??

Have to admit that I would have enjoyed watching us relegate the Arabs become we blew it a few years ago when they beat us at TCS in the final game - and the behaviour of some of their supporters was disgraceful.

I was just about to say "What the feck are you going to do now" but that is a brilliant retort
