We should start a club :015:

Once I got back from my round the world cruise....... Buy back the stadium and stick ?10 million in a Trust from which ICT would get the interest. That should give them about ?1 million to work with on an annual basis. I'd also hire back Pele as Sports Psychologist and Craig Brewster as Fitness Coach. The only other condition I would have is that when they get round to expanding the stadium that I get a Penthouse flat at the top of one of the Corner Pods - best view in Inverness out over the Firth and wouldn't have to get out of my bed to watch the footie :015: On the personal front...I've always wanted to learn to fly a helicopter. Other than that it would be a nice car, nice house, making sure family are looked after and invest in some small businesses (maybe some venture capital investments). Oh yeah...and I'd never waste my money on another lottery ticket :001:

Arab4ever, you should have had a word with the C*unty fans before starting a thread like this. Altogether now....."we're top of the league and you're no" :023:

Is all the extra games Hastings played during the summer catching up with him? Has playing at Centre Back for Canada caused the issue where he seems to drift in and give players too much space out wide? Does he have half an eye on the upcoming International Friendlies? Discuss..........

Well said Alex, there's hardly an abundance of suitable players out there and we aren't the only ones looking for a centre back, it's all too easy to be spouting that CC etc should have been doing more when in truth many haven't a clue what has or hasn't been going on behind the scenes.

The top 3 or 4 on that list were involved in the site 3 or 4 months before the rest with testing...by my calculations that makes you the biggest addict Johnboy :blah01:

Noticed he was subbed with about 20 mins to go today in a 1-0 loss to Stranraer. Was he just knackered after all the football he's been playing of late or was it purely tactical? (I'm scared to suggest the possibility of injury)

Think I can only get the top 10 in terms of time on any currently generated reports same as everyone else - Clicky Will have a look to see if I can get any more than that. You can get a full list of top posters in terms of volume by going to the member list and clicking on the posts heading.

Some people, despite claiming to be fans, only appear when they have an excuse to stick the knife in.

It's points on the board that count but that doesn't mean we don't have any positives to take from today. St Mirren only had 6 shots at goal today which suggest that our back line aren't making too many errors (they are hoever being punished for the ones they do make) We had 20 shots on goal today 0 of those were on target and a few others were pretty close. On another day we could have easily been looking at a score of the proportions seen at Ibrox today in our favour. No yellow cards suggests our players are keeping their composure. We went to 3 at the back with 20 minutes to go - this suggested CC had some confidence in the defense and we held out pretty well for the remainder of the game (apart from Keane missing the empty net) and this may give CC the confidence to try this tactic more often. At least the Supporters Bus that broke down got to see what sounded like the more exciting half :017:

Would you swap places with Falkirk today? :015:

With all the criticism that has been aimed at our defence then I would be happy with a clean sheet for us today. Caff was out for a while, but he is no stranger to working with the rest of the back line and they should really be clicking better as a unit now. Up front we have a few new faces and CC is still trying to work out his best pairing. Although I want to see them battering home the goals they could be forgiven for taking a little longer to find their feet. So, for me, a 0-0 draw will be a better sign of positive progress than a score draw - beating them 0-2 or 0-3 would obviously be even better :001:

Fortunately I haven't spent it yet :023:

Try and Keep Up :016:

Watt?

I dunno, wouldn't be the first time the "hand of god" played a part in the outcome of a football match

I am in agreement with Alex and we (the mods) are trying our hardest to allow this discussion to flow. However I find myself having to edit posts in this thread nearly every time I visit it because people don't understand, or choose to ignore the simple fact that you can't post regarding alleged evidence or assumed innocence/guilt. People are also tripping up over this fact when trying to come to defence of the player when people are making such assumptions and it's becoming a bit of a nightmare and it is all quickly leading towards the thread being closed down altogether. I know how frustrating it is and their are things I would like to say myself but I can't as I am governed by the same restrictions as everyone else. Unfortunately that's the way it has to be for now. Some may think it is overkill, but I'd rather we erred on the side of caution and if that means I end up removing something which may have been ok then so be it. Feel free to PM/e.mail myself, Scotty or any of the other moderators if you think something has been edited harshly and it will be reviewed.

You don't see that Johnboy bloke around much since he decided to stop posting :023: :015:

Wrong place at the wrong time in a Northern Irish border town about 7 or 8 years ago. Bloke lying in the street barely able to breath and bleeding from the head. I decided to stop and administer first aid while others walked on by. Turns out he'd been given a doing by a group with a preference for the Gold, White and Green who were standing over the road watching him die and I was spoiling the fun. It started with them throwing coins and hurling abuse at me and telling me to leave him and then got slightly more serious. At that point I uttered the most stupid words of my life "shoot me if you like but I'm going to help the guy", they recognised I didn't have an Irish accent and asked me where I was from. They then said I was very lucky I was a Scotsman. Ambulance arrived with an armed escort, barely checked the guy over before loading him in the back and getting out of there quick smart. Officer turned to leave and I asked if they wanted a statement to which he replied "not unless you have a death wish - I suggest you head home for the night". I also faced a similar, but not quite so brutal, situation after wandering off the main streets in Philadelphia where the discovery that I was a Scotsman turned me from a victim into some kind of long lost best friend of the guys I bumped in to....lol. Being Scots has become like a security blanket for me and I make a point of pointing it out wherever I travel, and it never fails to amaze me how attitudes change when people realise your not British or English.

We seem to be producing some talent in the Youth system and I think this is the best for us to be blooding these young guys as the immediate step up to the SPL is a huge one. If Wood continues like this it wouldn't be a bad idea to recall him in January and put him out on loan at a slightly higher level.

Hart turned out for the reserves tonight - suggesting that their is little in this rumour or the club aren't planning letting him go any time soon.

Distinguishable by the presence of the tattoo as well I might add!!!

Like anyone would tell you :023: Wonder if the Cannabis Farm at the end of the street is back in business yet? :015:

I would say that Hart is the best attacking midfielder we have available at present. I also believe he may have been unhappy at ICT for quite some time now due to the lack of football he has been getting. It all started while Brewster was here and their seemed to be a clash of personalities, Hart also has an arrogant streak in him that quite often rubs people up the wrong way IMO, but nobody's perfect and it's what he does on the pitch that interests me most. I believe CC may have had plans to make better use of him but I can't help thinking that their is only so much a person can take and a time comes when you have to walk away for your own good. If he does go, then I hope it is his own decision and it is made for the right reasons.
