RESULT Should have had 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo

Half those leaving are Butcher signings so he is far from infallible identifying talent. He'll need to unearth a few more Hayes rather than Blumenshtein's

It's obvious from the discussion they don't realise McBain & Golabek are veterans

Just read the Inverness Courier online. It says 9 players will not be offfered new contracts.... Eric Odhiambo, Dani Sanchez, Chris Hogg, Gil Blumenshtein and Max Johnson today joined Grant Munro, Russell Duncan, Stuart Golabek and Roy McBain in being told they would not be kept on It also mentions......Adam Rooney, Stuart Duff, Kenny Gillet, Gavin Morrison and Shane Sutherland have received new contract offers, while Ross Tokely triggered a clause in his contract that will keep him at the club for at least another year CLICKY LINK

As an aside I wonder if there is any good reason why this was down now? Obviously there is no good time to tell someone they are not needed but we still have 4 games to go and 7th place is still up for grabs. Surely morale has to be affected??

I'm more concerned Butcher rates Duff higher than Duncan and Gillet/Shinnie are left backs whilst Munro is a centre back!! As for the 3 young players you've mentioned I'm not sure how much progress they've actually made. Shinnie is definetly a battler but he's still very raw, Ross does have some potential but he still flatters to deceive and is still painfully lightweight whilst the more I see of Sutherland the more I think Rory McAllister II (although he deserves some games actually as a centre forward!!) For every good player Butcher has signed there was been a turkey and whilst Duncan & Munro might be of limited ability they have at least experience, heart and passion for the club.

Duff getting a new contract is laughable.

Isn't Hogg injured?

Alex Neil would be a much better acquisition than Mensing

A really sad day for ICT and another baffling decision. It appears unless you are one of Butchers favourites you don't stand a chance. To add insult to injury I'm sure this will mean another contract for Duff who isn't fit too tie RD's boots & no doubt we'll sign that donkey McCann.

David McNamee has been released by Aberdeen and despite him not being all that great he's infinitely better than McCann

The media certainly seem to. The amount of hype they are generating is phenominal. For once I'm actually delighted to be working so I can avoid as much of the bilge as possible

Brewster did that as well!

For those who may not have heard the post-match interview on Radio Scotland Innes confirmed he is leaving at the end of the season for family reasons. Good goal tonight but won't be missed IMO. That's 1 out 14/15/16 futures sorted.

Strange game football. We could have just as easily lost it 3-0 but St J couldn't score in a brothel Innes just said he's leaving at the end of the season. Doubt anyone will be sad to see him go.

Dreadful game. Lucky to be winning but I'll take it

Strange selection again. Seems Butcher really doesn't like Duncan

Going to be interesting to see what he does here. I think I'd try Hogg on the right with Cox Munro and Gillet along the line. Forgot Tokley was out as well. Think you are right. Cox at right back and Hogg & Munro in the middle.

Given St J's wretched run of form this is a game we SHOULD win. Munro at right back, sort of thing Butcher would do.

McCann is hopeless and injury prone. No thanks. I bet we sign him though Last I heard Rankin was heading to Dundee Utd

Another comedic performance from the match officials

Hearts also interested in John Sutton who is very similar to Rooney. Would they sign both?
