The Inverness Courier is saying he will be out for at least a month with ankle ligament damage

Regardless of who plays we really need 3 points form this game

McBain is consistently the least effective player in our team and shouldn't even be playing

Apparently we are trying to get special permission for him to play for the reserves next week

On the subject of injuries why does the P&J say that Black was at Raigmore having an X-Ray on his anterior cruciate joint after injuring his shoulder on Saturday?? Aren't they in your knee???

We've kept 9 clean sheets in the 48 games since Brewster returned (3 were against Gretna) Of those 48 games we have...... Won 20 Lost 23 Drawn 5 5 of the wins were against Gretna and another 3 were lower league opposition in the cups So in 40 games against SPL side the record reads.... Won 12 Lost 23 Drawn 5 (I'm bored at work and this was just a quick tally so there may well be errors!)

So far in the SPL we've scored more than we've conceded so it isn't really an issue at the moment! However, the next 3 fixtures are just about as tough as it gets and I'm more than a little worried that we'll be bottom of the SPL come the end of play on November 1st

What odds on him predicting we'll lose the next 3 games? Mind you they are pretty much the toughest of the season!

Don't hold your breath!!! These things tend to drag on forever with ICT. Talks are always usually about to begin 'next week'

I used to play for Dundee United therefore they will win Dundee United 3 - Inverness 0

Shame such a good result is being overshadowed by all this other rubbish. Ho Humm Anyone seen the 'penalty' incident on Tv yet?

Don't knock it! My prediction skills are so bad that the opposite inevitably happens. I shall continue to predict ICT losses

I feared the worst after the opening goal and for the first 15 minutes of the game we were very poor. Then McGuire popped in a beauty and we never looked back :clapping There were some superb individual performances today but in general the whole team played well. Looked like Fraser was at fault for the opener and I'm going to have to see the penalty award on TV as it looked suspiciously soft from where I was sitting. Imrie ran his backside off and it has to be between him & Black for MOTM. Also honurable mentions for the displays from Duncan, Vigurs & Barrowman who kept harrassing the Kilmarnock throughout. McBain was about the only non-performer and he should have been off much earlier. Odd refeering decisions prevailed but as we got the rub of the green on the important ones I suppose we shouldn't complain. Very amusing to watch Jefferies doing his nut over the awarding of throw-ins - his blood pressure must be a worry. Poor turnout crowdwise but considering recent home displays that's probably understandable. If we keep playing like we did for the vast majority of todays game I think more people will return TODAY WAS GOOD DAY AT THE OFFICE PS For what it's worth the wee number 10 of Kilmarnock is a cracking wee player - Tamouil??

This week he predicts a 2-1 win for Kilmarnock and sadly I agree with him. However, my prediction skills have been awful this season so that should mean a home win!

The ties will be played on 28/29 October.

Dundee United v Dunfermline Falkirk v Inverness Kilmarnock v Celtic Rangers v Hamilton

He got a back injury last year and was released at the end of the season. Now plays for Elgin.

It says on Sky sports that Rory was taken off at half-time! Was this an injury or was he just rubbish?

Tokely played right midfield with Proctor at right back in the 3-4 defeat against Aberdeen so it has already been tried. I don't think he's being playing well this season but will he be dropped? As you rightly pointed out he is the focus for pretty much all our set pieces so without him in the team we'd have to come up with some new ideas! I must add that in the player's defence he is constantly 'encouraged' by the manager to get forward especially when we are attacking the North stand in the second half

Barrowman is suspended for the game tonight and Duncan is in the squad according to P&J

Just watched the hi-lights on the BBC which made it out to be one way traffic towards our goal!! Looked like Munro was the main culprit for the goal as well

OK everyone knows stats can be misleading but after todays defeat I got to thinking how many clean sheets we've had recently. This got me on to thinking how we'd performed this calendar year after that purple patch we had came to an end!! So I did a bit of counting (I'll hold my hand up and say I'm not entirely convinced all my arithmetic is correct and feel free to point out any mistakes I made!) and this year has been pretty poor people. The figures in brackets are the results if you don't include the whipping boys of Gretna Played 26 (23) Won 7 (4) Drawn 4 Lost 15 Goals Scored = 31 (20) Goals Conceded = 39 (37) Clean Sheets = 3 (2) P**h poor by anyone's standards Let's hope we have another purple patch soon - otherwise!!!

For all you Billy Dodds fans you'll be delighted to hear he's tipped us to lose again. Controversial I know!! Doddsy's predictions His in depth reasoning...... Inverness are always well organised and have caused several upsets on the road in recent seasons. It might take Hearts a while to break the visitors down, but if they play anywhere near their best then surely they will come out on top.

Here we go again another long drawn out contract negotiation process where things will 'hopefully' be concluded 'next week' :thumb04: Kilmarnock!??!
