IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

That was a big three points irrespective of the performance. Never mind all the feckin points counting. From now until the end of the season it is about our performance and taking one game at a time. We should be treating every feckin game like a cup final from henceforth. THE HIGHLANDS ARE OURS

Can we put in a bid fer Buffy ?

Jhesus I am becoming more of a happy clapper as well !! Up until the end of 2012 this was our BEST season ever. We were playing some great stuff at times, trying to pass instead of hoof, looking more solid all round and scoring goals fer fun. I am not going to repeat myself with some of my views on the decline. We have regrouped to a degree and at least we have stopped the losing streak if not resurrected the winning mentality. I reckon that if we had better fortune against Killie and hit a few goals that we would have gone on a roll. In some ways being where we are may not be a bad thing. I actually really feel that we can do Tinkerville and that will set us up fer Hibees and Perf. We should not be looking any further than that. WHEN we make the top Six we can then look at going in to overdrive. Sorry to end on a negative but my main worry is that we think that sticking to the old system and the faithful is going to bring us through. Tactically we have to come up with something different to bemuse the opposition and I am not sure if we have the nouse to do that. Im ny opinion nobody has the rite to say I told you so at the end of the season - as it is all as much about hope and good luck as it is about performance and tactics.

Now that is more like it but is quite amusing in light of some previous comments about the Inverness faithful. It may be a personal flashback but TB's unshaven look suggests that he has been locked up fer the night fer Drunk and Incapable and is broadcasting hungover from an interview room before going to the Magistrates.

Agree with CD - that to me purely emphasises his frustration and passion. I will pay the £200 if he does summation similar to Derek Adams.

Congratulations Grandad - I just hope Ruby is a girl and please tell me that she wasnt named cos of an anagram of some hole in Lancashire ?

Does anyone else note an improvement from the last two seasons ? We may even feckin recognise the starting X1 in pre season friendlies.

Interesting stuff from a psychological perspective - a clear case that the large majority of us are actually concerned and worried. Again we could nay should be practically out of sight by now and be heading fer Hampden this week. Given our expectations at the beginning of this season we have had as sucessful a SPL campaign as we ever have done. Given our performances in 2012 we have probably massively underachieved. What is keeping us all going is the fact that it is all still very close at the top of the league. We have been significantly helped by the fact that everybody is drawing with each other and/or results have really gone our way. Personally I am not confident BUT lets face it - 2or 3 results, irrespective of the performance will change it all again.

His past history of sheep shagging stood him in good stead.

Why should any of us be worried about what Tinkerville may or may not achieve this season. At the end of the day all we should be interested in is what ICT achieve this season. Of course we should be feckin expecting to take three points away to Dundee. We should be expecting to take three points at home twice before the split and at least one from Easter Road. Just think where seven feckin points might take it. And next Saturday is not the six pointer that a lot are talking up. After the split there is going to be a chance for ANY of the five surviving teams to get second, third and fourth places. We just have to start thinking about making the Top Six first and nowt feckin else. Lets face it - it aint over till the fat lady sings - I do feel that we have blown a huge chance to get to the League Cup final and to soar away at the top of the SPL. It aint defeatist to point out that we have been sussed cos we have - is there another explanation for our 2013 slump. But there is still time to make ammends - We have the team to do it, we have the motivation to do it - but do we have the tactical know how to change ?

Bring back Marius Niculae

Lets just do the gypsy bestards

I agree - he should be at left back.

I would say that picking the Top Six would be an impossible task - apart from Cellic of course. All the other teams - apart from Tinkerville - have been erratic and inconsistent. Every team in this league is capable of winning against any other team. Every team in this league is taking points of each other and there appear to have been a remarkable ammount of draws. Not one team has been able to take adantage and move away in second/third place. Every team has their bad patch and lets hope that is us. Let us also hope that fortune changed at Tynecastle - basically win the next three and it is done and dusted.

The bottom line is that as long as you are scoring more than you are conceding you should be OK There have been quite a collection of individual errors this season and more than most. Meekings would be there if TB hadnt persevered with Raven. Meekings is also learning the central defender trade and I feel in some games that TB has played Meekings as the marker when I feel that Warren is more effective in that role.

Not totally shure if the goals from Warren were training ground routines - the big difference to me was the quality of the delivery. Can anyone describe the tactics employed at this game ?

What is the craic about Meekings ? And I take it that the rest some players quip is tongue in cheek ?

The slightest piece of realistic criticism and the happy clappers engulf like vultures I would say though that the back four are as good as we have had for a long time. Warren may not have that much experience at SPL level but he is clearly a "thinker", a leader and he deffo plays fer the shirt.

What about a Chinese or and Italian or an Indian or a Thai or a Romany Gypsy.

And getting back on track would be potentially the greatest testament ever.

As Errki Melartin once commented to me after reading a Charles Bannerman book - "Johndo - I am fully conscious of the fact, that aphorisms are like wandering Gypsies. They must always be published without guarantee of the authenticity."

Shocking - there could be a riot if somebody jumped the queue or bought the last pie or an opposition fan accidentally sprayed wee on anothers leg. And what if ya went for a dump and the ******* before ya used the last piece of toilet roll. It is all a recipe fer disaster.

The feckin Fly - where you feckin been man - I thought that ya must have been swatted.

May I add that my post of PATHETIC was not wholly aimed at CD for the personalisation on a MatchdayThread but was aimed at the manner in which the thread was going. I apologise if I have actually inadvertently created an issue here but alcohol and frustration do not mix and I suppose that a potential accusation that I was lying and trying to use the rumour to "enhance" my own reputation on this site angered me and some of the others who bore witness to the discussion that was witnessed. End Of please.

Does anyone actually think that Reguero will EVER play fer ICT again ? There has quite clearly been a fall out. It may not be the time fer experimenting (I would consider Shane for McKay and Pepper fer A.Shinnie) but I will cautiously go with Renegade.
