Onward and Upward

The Hibs fans aren't too happy with the way you were treated yesterday either: Hibs Stewards

Definitely worry stats there...... We need to shore up that Back 4 Pronto!!!!

I agree with the comments about Eagle / Sanchez / Bulvitis Eagle: Offers no attacking options, sits too far back and never makes a run on the wing. Sanchez: Seems more of an attacking midfielder, not the player to be paired up with Foran. Bulvitis: Hopeless, easily the weakest link in the team by a country mile. Leaves Munro/Cox/Duncan with way too much to do. I strongly disagree with the comments about Tokely/Munro, (and for that matter Duncan). These guys are beating their hearts out for ICT and losing them from the team would be like ripping the beating heart out of the team. Yes Grant is not always great, but neither would you be if you were doing the work of two men. Yes Tokely gets skinned now and then, but he has been out for some time, so is not going to be match fit yet. He still offers more than Proctor in the RB role though! Yes Duncan misses tackles, passes poorly, but if you can highlight one player on the park today that made all of his tackles and connected all of his passes, good luck to you!

I really don't think we can just blame Terry and Maurice. The whole shebang needs to be looked at from the Board down to the Players, there are too many issues at EVERY level to just scream for the managers head!

This afternoon's game for me, was an indication of how bad things have become at TCS. In all my time watching this club, I have NEVER seen a crowd disperse as quickly as that before the end of a game! Add in the addition of Butcher apparently having a go at the crowd and all is definitely not well at the TCS! I am not apportioning blame to any one group (Players/Management/Board). I'm just disgusted that a team that actually competed in the SPL for so long is now slowly fizzling out. I personally have not been to any Away games and I know many of you are saying that we have performed admirably away from home, but that does not disguise that fact that we are 8 games into a CRUCIAL season and are already 8 points adrift of the top spot and 6 points adrift of the top pack. Calling for the Managers head is not the answer, calling for the Board's head is not the answer, lambasting the Players is not the answer. Something, however definitely needs to be done! I'm not saying that we should be decimating all before us, but we should be doing a damn site better than we are at the minute.

Prior to our demolition at tge Derby, George Adams was watching us for a good few games. He got it spot on, whoever was meant to be watching County definitely did not. Just another area that we need to tighten up in! :angel06:

Since it's been a quiet end to the transfer window, barring Hastings/Golabek. Is Terry looking at players released by other clubs? David Van Zanten was relaesed from Hibs, not a great SPL player, but worth a punt in the 1st? Anyone else know of any other decent players that have been released? Maybe we can compile a list and mail it to Terry?

My biggest concern with Foran is the amount of time he spends drifting into offside positions. Don't get me wrong, when he does time his run well it's devastating, but all too often he's getting caught offside. Definitely needs to improve that side of his game IMO.

Get over it, you've had a thread on an Internet Forum deleted, big deal. A comparison between the action of a moderator deleting a thread and a dictatorship is slightly unrealistic! What next, concerns of work camps for spelling mistakes, seriously.......... Understandably you want to air your views, but as you said, you posted it on the wind up, what do you expect? Your comments about us being in a worse state under TB/MM flabberghast me. They are not the great white hope, they are not miracle workers, but they are IMHO a damn site better than the joke combination of CB/MT. That pair managed to do so much damage to the club that it may well take a couple of seasons to repair. Do you seriously want CB/MT back?.......Seriously?................

5 years in the SPL, what's that like.....? Oh you would have no idea would you! Catch yourself on snowball, County were a mediocre team yesterday, that managed to beat a shockingly bad ICT. Better team on the day, not the better team overall, which is why you take so much joy from the result. What's County's greatest achievement? Challenge Cup Win? A decent result against their nemesis in a local derby? Two words.... Bigger......Picture! :D Based on yesterdays performance, (which is no basis at all, for a league where we have to play each other a further 3 times!), County don't look like they'll be storming the league either. With your Manager's record of dressing room discord you'll be damn lucky.......... You've got bragging rights till November, nothing more. The fact that you're so excited by this shows how much you've missed us for the past five years! ;) See you at the next Derby where the see-saw that is Scottish football may well humble you! :clown2: :wave02:

Is there a 'sweetie rustler' smilie on the site?

Perspective people! We are in a relegation battle, which under the current economic climate is a battle for the very survival of our club. 3 points is 3 points, who cares how we pull it out of the bag. Lets survive this season, then look at playing real football next season! I guess some people will never be happy!

Having just watched the highlights, how was Berra not sent off for the blatant kick at Imrie. There's no way on this planet that he misjudged the flight of the ball that badly!! No cards, no freekick, the incident just seems to have been swept under the carpet by the ref? Is this another Incident that could would have had a different outcome had there been a video ref as well as the officials on the park?

Tactics........................we had tactics today?.............................there was a game plan for the players to follow?........................ :thumb04:

That was without a doubt the most soul destroying 90 minutes of football I've had the misfortune to watch in a long time! The players hearts weren't in it after the first goal, tactics were nuts (I can't remember, were we two down or three down before he put a second forward on?) and the ref was mince to boot. Brewster has definitely lost the dressing room and the plot (with his tactics), no-one is gonna want to sign for us during the Jan window, given the mess that we're in at the minute. Brewster has got to do the honourable thing and resign, otherwise it's First Division football next season!

It seems to work well in a number of Bundesliga stadiums

Why does everyone seem to to want McBain in at LB? Hastings is mince at the minute, but McBain is not the answer! Give Zadi-Lionel a chance? I personally would go for: --------------Esson---------------- Proctor----Duff----Munro----Zadi Cowie----Black----Vigurs----Imrie -------Rooney-------Wood-------- Subs: Fraser Tokely Duncan Wilson any other youngster Sutherland Barrowman You'll note that McBain isn't even on the Bench!

I don't think anyone on this thread is saying that any hassle should be created. I think everyone's in shock at the common sense approach! Well done to the Match Commander, if he did indeed tell the Stewards to cool their jets. From what I could see there was nothing wrong with what the lads in Section G were doing, that wasn't being done on a larger scale in the away end with no response from Stewards.

NIce one Caley D, that's Christmas sorted for my missus.

Regarding getting in with the poles, If you've gotten n with that type previously, then hopefully there should be no problems this time. If they do challenge it you can always fall back on the fact that you've been in with them before. Best of luck with this lads, kudos to you all for trying to inject a bit of passion back into the TCS! :thumb04:

Just a wee word of advice about the flags. You'll most likely not get your flags in on a pole, it's against the SFA Ground Regulations. Some grounds enforce it, some don't. As far as I'm aware the policy at the TCS is not to allow flagpoles into the ground. You're definitely heading in the right direction though lads, keep up the good work! ****Edit**** Just read that you've checked with the Stewards RE the flags. I know that some types are allowed in and some aren't, hopefully they've given you the right advice!

:015: :018: :thumb04: ;) That's got to be the best suggestion yet!

Just a possibility, how about Strachan when he gets the ping from Celtic?.................................................................. .................. I'll get me coat!

I've always said that Blackie can fair jump for the height of him! I'm glad to see him performing well, definitely a shoe in for POTY if he carried on like this.

Rock Steady were taken over by G4S earlier this year, and as such retain all of Rock Steadys staff under a TUPE arrangement. G4S have the same problem as Rock Steady have, in that their staff are not licensed, next time you're at a game take the time to have a look at the Stewards, only the Supervisors are licensed. Stewards are 'apparently' supposed to contact a Supervisor in the event of anything that needs to be done. A Licensed Security Guard/Door Supervisor can use reasonable force to eject persons from a Stadium/Pub/Club/Premises, so long as they have reasonable grounds to do so. Regards the part about common sense, hear hear! Section G is where the vast majority of atmosphere/noise is coming from in the ground, nothing malicious in it at all, I truly hope that the folks there keep it up! I do agree about the gloating though, it's only going to get peoples backs up. FYI, G4S only have aproximately 12 staff local to the Inverness are, with the remainder being transported from other areas in Scotland. (this may have changed recently, so don't quote me on it).
