  1. Read it earlier on. This actually is good news, may help with the new contracts and it may also give us some little cash to splash come January....plus it's cool having Flybe on the kits
  2. If it does happen i would get Dave MacKay and Joe Hammill. Great players and both players that would be required here. No chance of McPake now obviously.
  3. 3 of my friends are in a Pipe band and they said to me that they were approached to play at tomorrows game and the Dons game in 2 weeks.
  4. I think agents could be the doing of this. Grant Munro signed his new deal pritty swiftly and i know he is captain and an Inverness lad etc, but he dosen't have an agent. Its annoying knowing that this could all have potentially been sorted months ago, Black especially and i certainly would have given Barry a 1 year deal rather than some poxy 6 month contract leaving him in the limbo until January. Cowie perhaps not because he was offered a new deal quickly but that was his decision. Despite Bennett saying he is confident we will stay i really don't his words reassuring.

    McPake

    Ashame. But no one in the SPL can compete with the English clubs. He nearly joined Plymouth last year as well which shows how intrested clubs over the border where in him. Still we could try and get Dave MacKay from there. He is eqaually as good imo.

    Home Form

    Lack of atmosphere i think is down to lack of good football at home atm. I can't remember the last time i saw a Caley player perform a good piece of trickery or a set of players produce a good move and the constant tinkering of the team is just ridiculous. We have no depth atm so Brewster just needs to live with it. Also when a team creates good goal scoring chances at home that is what gathers momentum within the crowd, some games this year we've never got a shot on target. The players and manager are urging us to get atmosphere going around the ground but its very hard to do that when we have so little to shout about.

    Baz off to Livi?

    I agree with CD. I think Barry would be sensible enough to do a bit more coaching through us rather than just lomp himself into a full-time managment job. Especially at such a troubled club.
  8. -------------Esson-------------- Proctor, Munro, Duff, Hastings Wilson, Cowie, Black, Vigurs --------------Imrie------------ -----------Barrowman------- subs: Fraser, Djebi-Zadi, McGuire(if fit), Zander, McBain, Rooney, Wood
  9. Brown Tokely, Mann, Teasdale, Hastings Wilson, Sheerin, Christie, Robson Wyness, Stewart subs. Calder Dods, McCarthur Cherry, Black Xausa, Ritchie Chose Hastings ahead of McCarthur because otherwise we would have had the slowest back four ever.
  10. Its strange because this formation with 5 man midfield and Wood as a lone striker works very well away from home as we have won our last 2 away games with it. But it was so terrible at home to Falkirk it was changed at half-time and not used in the following home game (no joy came from that either mind you)
  11. Its ashame to see any club suffer financially...even if they are old foes. We could easily be in there position but i think our board have possibly been slightly wiser in how they've handled the club financially. It is strange though as Livi started there season so well but appear to have taken a massive dip in form. same for the likes of Queen of the South, they were on a roll at one point.
  12. Would love to see us get County so we can play them in a game that actually means something or Elgin would be good fun and we will get to see Liam Keogh play as well.
  13. Would Grant Munros testimonial year not be coming up now as well?
  14. Good for Brew. Now it's time to show it on the pitch regularly.
  15. I'm yet to hear someone say they don't want Barry to stay. Even at 36 the man is an asset to the club. Dosen't play regularly but whenever he does you are garunteed to get something out of him. If i had my way he would still be playing in the starting 11. He is almost as important to keep as Black and Cowie imo.
  16. I think Imrie has the clear potential to be a top player but he is terribly inconsistent. He has shown clear signs of what he can produce on a good day, free kicks, good crossing and a never say die attitude. I also like it when he plays up front with Barrowman, i think those 2 have a good understanding. He does have his flaws though, such as his decision making and he can also be very greedy with the ball. But the more he plays i think the better he can get.
  17. I agree that Keigan Parker would be a good addition to our squad. He is the sort of player we need up front, bit of speed and movement and he also hits a ferocious shot. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Caley shirt come January.
  18. Theres no way he only has 4 games. For starters the board love him too much to even contenplate getting rid of him, second of all. Also we have taken 7 points from a possible 12 in the last 4 games suggesting results are PERHAPS improving. Also we play Celtic at Parkhead next week. Don't think of me as negative but thats not somewhere we're expected to get points from so that would only technically give him 3 games.....what a load of rubbish this is.
  19. He isn't very good but i will be honest i would rather see him than Djebi-Zadi competing with Hastings. I would be suprised if we didn't get him. By training with us its rather clear he wants back to Scotland and the fact he is one of Brews old chums from the Fife area means its likely he will become a first team regular. I disagree with those who say Barrowmans a poor signing. The guy has not had a consistent run of games nor has he got the appropriate strike-partner up front with him. When we played Killie a month ago he was paired with Imrie and the 2 of them played a blinder of a game up front and if you recall Imrie got man of the match and Barrowman scored a pen that day, making it himself. Since then those 2 have never been paired together. He scored goals at County because he had a creative forward up with him in Sean Higgins. So i think the idea of Imrie, Barrowman up front should be used in order to get the best out of both players.
  20. I have a funny feeling we will keep Black. I think the most likely time too loose him has past from 2 years ago when Brewster tryed to poach him to the Arabs. Black has been at the club for nearly 5 years now and as far as i know he is very settled in the Inverness area and is clearly playing his best football. I doubt he wants to jeopardise that. Perhaps the club are trying to keep conract talks as private as possible after what happened with Dods, Brown and Dargo. In terms of Cowie well who knows. He is an Inverness lad who obviously has so much still to offer the club. I would be very dissapointed to see him leave but after he stalled the offer in the summer after stating he wanted to extend his contract i'am not so sure. I think it may all boil down to what the club have to offer and what his family want to do. As far as i remember Fraser, Cowie, Black, Proctor, McBain, Vigurs, Wood, Zander and Djebi-Zadi all have expiring contracts come the summer with Barrys expiring in January.
  21. I would expect it as i have never seen Garry Wood take a convincing first touch...ever. Young players sometimes need a bit of tough love from managers. I can only assume thats what Brew was intending out there on the touchline. I can understand his frustration at Barrowman. He faded from the game so badly in the second half and it got worse as the game went on. So you can understand Brews problems. Managers aren't there to be teamates, they are there to be managers and when players don't do the right thing it will anger them at times. On the other hand you could blame Brew for not beefing up the strike-force with some experience during the summer, something which has evidently shown as this season has worn on. Both Rooney and Barrowman lacked any real intrest in the game on Saturday IMO. And the fact that Garry Wood was the only real forward we could turn to in an attempt to change the game suggests re-inforcments are required in January(said not for the first time).
  22. I would say give McAllister a place in the team for Garry Wood who for me really has made little impact in the team. Scored against Celtic and played ok against Hibs but thats it. Rory played well when i saw him play against the Celtic reserves a month ago and a double against the gers, added to his pre-season performance suggest he deserves a shout. Zander has been on the bench the last couple of games and i can only think Brew will give him a shout somewhere along the line should he continue to be there. We've seen patches of what he is capable of before and he would be a different kind of winger to that of Imrie and Cowie and opposition defences won't really know what to expect of him so i say give a sub appearence in the next game, we all know he has the capability.
  23. I was looking at the team photo and McGuire is a few inches taller than Hastings who is about 6' 0" so that must make McGuire about 6' 1" And according to FIFAs description Proctor is 6' 0" and wieghs 69 kg.
  24. Seen Cowie play in the holding role so i would play him and Black in the middle. Duncans a waste of space imo, inaccurate passes, untidy touches etc. And i think Vigurs is better out wide.
