where do they train then?

S.F.L ground. Partick, Ayr, Clyde, Airdrie etc Shouldn't take too much to organise. If it gives each player even 1% more on the energy levels front they should stay down in the central belt.

Bye bye then see ya tomorrow.. sleep tight

He was dropped even when he WAS fit....get it?

Most players do get dropped when they're fit. They also get back in the team when it's obvious that their replacement is a liability. Get it? Actually you probably dont and never have! Night night.. Your poorly put together "argument" is sending me off to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Hastings was dropped when he was fit, ffs we leaked goals big time when he played, why do think Butcher does not play him.

Eh.....because he's not fit yet! I assume there were other defenders in the team when we leaked goals. Also we had a great tactician as manager. Ah, but it was all down to Hastings. Laughable - better get to bed early for school tomorrow.

Like his right foot, thunder volley in our own 6 yard box that went out for a corner when it could've easily gone flying into the back of our net.

Get Hastings back in our a youth player.

Wise up donut... youth player!!! Hastings was dropped because he was gash, Lionel had a bad game today but so did a few other players.

Proctor was terrible but you dont slag him off, Imrie worked hard but by feck does he need to work on the final ball, Roy was aimless and really caused them no threat.

Where was our two big central defenders for their goal? where was Proctor for their goal?

Hastings isn't playing due to injury. When fit he's a much better option than Lionel. Stevie Wonder could see that!

Agree get Hastings back. He's reliable. Calf injury just now but ready soon.

IHE, I share your frustration, the guy is a bombscare and needs to be punted NOW.

Bombscare? He's a bomb that explodes about 15 times a feching game! 8o% of what did today was really scarey stuff . 20 % was passable -JUST! Liability!

Next two games , as everyone knows are vital. Should the squad stay down after Motherwell game until the Kilmarnock game? Cost a bob or two but might be helpful when it comes to conserving energy, cutting out an unnecessary trip up and down the A9.

Jimmy demonstrates to Jimmy Nic how he'll karate chop Andy Considine!

Correct team selection

Controlled aggressive play.

Cut out the long ball sh*te

NULLIFY ANDY DORMAN

Don't give Dargo any opportunity to run at defence

Keep focussed if we go behind

WIN!

Im sorry but i dont know how to do the link thing but here http://www.highland-news.co.uk/news/fullst...s_to_clash.html It looks awsome bring back the good old days i really really want to go to this, i also think our ground would be better it would im sure be to capacity for the first time, even that daft west stand......

No disputing that it's a really good cause but be lucky to attract 2000 to this.

I sit in the family section in the north stand and things are always livened up there when one of I.C.T's character fans comes out with some random rant directed at the opposition players. Always good for a laugh. Any other characters within our support? What do they do/say that would put them into this category?

Any means necessary to stay up!

Was it not said from a Brazilian coach a few years back that you didn't win world cups by playing beautiful football? Well if its good enough for those innovators of the beautiful game then it is surely good enough for a side struggling to stay in the SPL, especially as not since the days of Pele Paterson that have we played beautiful football

Brazil won the world cup in 1970 by playing beautiful football.

Willie Fin is a gem of a guy with excellent business acumen. He is also a huge Caley Jags fan. Ex Academy pupil and big bro to Raymond and Matthew.

Sorry, but what is the big deal about being an Academy pupil??? I went to the other school and it hasn't done me any harm!!!

Pupils who had the misfortune of being edikated at the other schools tend to be sensitive to perceived critisism.

to the tune of Pilot's Magic

Oh oh oh Mihadjuks

You Know

Has just scored a no-o-ther goal

Mihadjuks you know

and repeat......

I know the club is still young and it is only a few short years since we were two clubs who were staunch rivals of each other but when do you think our club will have enough of our own history for our fans to claim our own identity? Do we still hang on to old allegiances from the "big" teams we used to support?

One of our more popular chants "Care/Stand Free" is a chant which Aberdeen made their own many years before the merger, we have seen sectarianism creep into the stands with the "Bobby Sands" song and BJK banner earlier in the season and now I have noticed a signature on these forums referring to "Bloody Sunday", I understand that the user is trying to play on Butcher's blood soaked bandage but to many of the older users on this site Bloody Sunday will mean something a lot more sinister.

Can we not find our own identity instead of latching on to other clubs chants and political affiliations?

When will we get our own identity? When people no longer feel the need to ask the question you've just asked.

Who's the Zadi?

His nickname is Butch the folk on here got him muddled up with Terry " EL Tel " Venables and its stuck with some .

So why does he put Tel at the end of his txts ?

When he texts me he signs off Big Tel!

Terry Butcher and Diego Maradona keep it tame

Nov 20 2008

YOU put your left hand in and you shake it all about, you do the hokey-cokey and you score a goal, that's what it's all about, ohhh Diego Maradona!

Big Gerry who works down the JobCentre told me to kick off like this. He's a colonel in the Tartan Army and according to him it's the footsoldiers' version of the Hokey-Cokey.

Anyhow, it seemed appropriate since Diego's in town and everyone was talking about "La Mano de Dios".

Ithought it prudent to write that in Spanish so Terry Butcher wouldn't twig I was referring to "The hand of God".

Apparently big Tel has barely slept a wink since that June day in the Stadio Azteca 22 years ago when Maradona and God were in cahoots in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Worth mentioning since in one technical area at Hampden you had the little Argentine who once upon a time had the audacity to cheat the English and in the other you had a large Englishman bearing a festering grudge.

The football was incidental, for potentially this was the stuff of docudrama and it's why viewers from 150 nations were glued to their TVs.

Would Butcher skelp Maradona before pulling out the nails of every finger of that infamous left hand with a pair of rusty pliers? Or would he finally bury the hatchet, literally or otherwise!

Juicy drama to drool over, that's what we wanted, but what we Scots got was a boot in the scraggy sporran after eight minutes when Maxi Rodriguez scored with training-ground ease.

Still, I was relatively unperturbed since we had Chris Iwelumo up front, so I reckoned the Argentine defence had better watch out!

Unfortunately the Prince of predators got hooked at half time.

Altogether now, "ohhh Diego Maradona", catchy, intit!

Share the sentiments and will follow the cause - but passion and effort is simply not enuff - if we go down I want to go down playing football. Butcher has already probably ensured the first ingredients - he has so little time to put in his own system and philosophy. But good luck to him - the best of luck - I believe but only just.

If Butcher had been given the job 6 weeks ago, when alarm bells were ringing loud and clear, I'd believe big style -at the moment I just hope. Jesus - I might even pray!

Heard a rumour tonight from an "impeccable" source that CB has been training with Ross County and might be offered a deal on a month to month basis. Says it all really.

Was on Moray Firth News today.Yeh, says he will probably do a decent job as a player in ther first division.

Think everyone should just turn up with a bandage on their napper

Like it! Press photographs galore.

Highlanders are world renowned for our welcoming ways. Anyone have any ideas for a banner to welcome El Tel?

Best idea wins a whisky soaked haggis wearing a kilt!
