Good result and great for team confidence, hopefully Rooney will get a start next week

Perhaps Flybe dont do the route they needed to get here. Yes Alex , infact maybe a message to Flybe that they need to increase their routes into Inverness, well maybe with the credit crunch perhaps not!!!

You aint going anywhere near Butchers mobile he is waiting on IHE's text

CTO one of the greenest websites around, known for recycled topics and recycled jokes. Sorry I havent memorised every quote posted on the the site and sorry if I dared to post something you may have read before. As I didnt read it on the non ICT and only when it was posted on the main board before it was moved I never seen it had before I posted.

He must like the 1st Division, well he was doing his best to put us there anyway

Exactly, in fact I dont think there are 16-18 Highland born players capable of holding their own in a divisions or 2 below never mind the SPL

I was actually making my assumptions on the fact that we always seem to lose our best young players for next to nothing and for once we should, if possible do everything to ensure that when we unearth a player like Pavel we try to tie him down to a long term contract as soon as possible.

I wonder how much we will negotiate for Cowies release will have an influence on who we sign tomorrow?

I dont think we should be under any illusion that Blackie will stay with us, he will be joining Hearts in the summer. I think it was proved today that he will give his all until then and that will be an asset in our battle to stay up.

Played his heart out today and for that I applaud him ,still think he is a long way off Spl standard

Would I be right in saying if we do sign one or two players this will be our biggest ever first team sqaud if not already so

Well done, sorry cant help saying this but Rab C springs to mind Edit to say not you just the bandage

Although only watching on TV today all I could hear from the away end was the boring chant of boruc all game

Second Division football....but not to worry, our Board are working on that and we might just manage to grant him a season back there before his contract expires.

Disagree, yes not saying to offer long term contracts to all the new signings, but you also have to calculate who is likely to bring us income in the coming years through transfer fees regardless what division we are in, something we have been to slow to realise with the likes of Black, Cowie. Not sure what wage Pavel is on but we have a sqaud of 27 to 28, worth getting rid of a few that are not up to it to keep a player that seems to have it. Lets face it after 6 or so games last season we knew then that Cowie was an asset and should have said then lets give him a long term contract. After 3-4 games most of us seem to be the same opinion of Pavel so lets get him tied up as if not somebody else will.

While I like the look of Rooney failing to see why all think he is the answer to all our problems up front, Butcher has seen him and Barrowman in training this week and picked Barrowman, why? TB said that a team is only as good as their senior players. Probably thinks that, especially against Celtic and being so low in the table, that experience is what's needed. Hence the dropping of Vigurs. Personally, I'd have Vigurs in for Proctor and Rooney in for Barrowman as, experienced or not, they're just better players. While I do think that Rooney is possibly a better player than Barrowman I am not convinced he is

Yes understand where you are coming from but also there are many in our squad that we are not sure about, in this I would include Morias, Gattheusi, Kerr (if signed), Foran and Eric. Hopefully they will all come good but lets be honest at present are unknown quantities.

While I do think we can stay up I dont think we can lay claim to be " Certainly better than the Accies, easily equal to the Saints and possibly even better than Falkirk" as points make prizes and until we have more points than these sides, look through the Falkirk side for example, very experienced. If we are going to survive this it will be down to the ICT fighting mentality rather than having a superior squad.

Yes agreed and while a lot have also have been calling for Rooney while I agree he has potential he still needs to prove himself, I think Butcher is right in thinking Rooney and Barrowman are on a level playing field to begin with , one thing I totally disagree with is that IMRE is a striker I dont think he has the composure for that, playingjust behind the strikers yes but not as our goal threat.

Credit crunch is hitting hard , Pedigree Chum are even feeling it, they have called in the Retrievers

He was awful today, vast majority of mistakes and seemed to want t blame everyone else. I would assume that TerryandJune will make mistakes as they get to know the chaps, but can only hope that Barrowload only gets better of gets out. I think you are been harsh on the lad, I thought he did ok in the first half and lets be honest there wasnt much difference between him and samaras who cost a few million. I think that if we stop expecting a roy of the rovers type of perforamce from our stikers and realise that leading the line is not an easy task the better

What a stupid comment

To be fair at the start of the season black was playing his best ever football with Brewsters team, then things went pear shaped for whatever reason

Now that is positive thinking, the lad give it his all today and I respect him for that, but the daddy I think not and I for one will be happy to have back a regular at left back
