Renegade

What about Football Hooligan? Starting a chant! Swearing! Singing some racist songs down the pub! Starting a fight! Streaking across the field! Fun for all the family!

A born failure? The man was a good player in his day and now manages a team in the top six of Scottish football. I'm sure he'd give it all up for a big winner job like washing dishes or pulling pints at a golf course club house!

Was there not another supporters club for a while called 'Caley Jags 94' or something?

I've got it! Davide Xausa!

Sure I sure something about this in the programme after the 1,000th was scored. Was it not Mark McCulloch (spelling?)?

I'm afraid you're incorrect there. I've heard some horror stories about some of the players.

Nice of the Inverness Courier to think it was so trivial that they included it in their "Good Week/Bad Week" section.

Actually he did, but never mind.

Well someone's in a bad mood! 1. My name is Renegade. 2. Negative posts on everything? Oh, you mean focussing on the things you don't agree with and ignoring the rest (have a read of my comments about Williams and Tremarco). I also try to be as constructive and back-up my points as much as possible and be respectful of others with opposing views. 3. Christie and fatigue. Yeah, maybe 70 minutes then, but to me he looked shattered and seemed to be tighter marked in the second half. I'd have like to see Ross on earlier to try and unlock the door. He played well, as did Draper and a good few others. 4. Watkins was quite good and Doran tried hard, but little came off for him today. Acceptable? Well they tried hard so yes. Before you attempt to try and portray me as some kind of non-fan or a crocodile wallowing in a swamp of negativity, I've only missed two competitive games all seasons, attended a fair few of the pre-season friendlies including Keith and Charlton and every U20 match I can (including trips to places on weeknights where I was the only away fan there!). I'll be on my way to the stadium soon to renew my season ticket as well. Why are you so angry? I quick skim of your posts all seem to be attacks on other posters and I seem to be the one you really don't like. Why? Why can't we be friends? See you in Motherwell!

I was very impressed by Williams and Tremarco. Like others were saying, we played well for the first 35 minutes or so and then lost our way. Could still do a bit more forward passing and what about Tansey's cross-field ball in the build up to Christie's goal? Outstanding. Christie was decent, but I thought he looked shattered after about an hour and should have made way for Ross. Oh yes and that referee - what an eejit!

We should go for that guy in America, Anson Dorrance who manages some women's football team. His win record is something like 94%*! I don't know what the standard's like (probably rubbish!), but still that's quite impressive! * No joke! Look it up!

I wasn't going to read this thread but in the end I had to Cove in!

Like winning the odd home game ? And constantly repeating tactics that clearly don't work and have led to numerous goals being conceded.

Sometimes when you're in a hole, it's best to stop digging. I'd love Hughes to be a success, but I'm getting increasingly worried by his failure to see what's going on in-front of him isn't working. The form under him has been terrible, the stats don't lie. The "back Hughes to the hilt" brigade from what I can see seem to no longer come up with a reasonable argument, yet here we have someone who actually thinks he's done a good job! The stats don't lie, and that's how the more skeptical fans have credence here. They can back their points with stats and results, the other side can't. It'll be interesting to see how this thread looks on Saturday night, should we receive yet another thrashing. Something I'm afraid I can see happening yet again. How long will it be before "giving him time" is no longer a feasible option?

I presume Cameron Mackay travelled down. Could we not have stuck him on the bench?

I can even tie my own shoe laces!

Sadly I wouldn't at all be surprised if nothing is done. I'm sure some will remember when we beat Sevco 3-0, one of our fans was whacked in the head with a 10p piece. He was sat near me and I went over to the policewoman stood nearby and reported it. Honestly, she couldn't have cared less. There's CCTV at Ibrox as well of course, so did they ever find the culprit? I don't think so. What a surprise.

As mentioned in the thread, we only needed seven points. Hardly a triumph in that case. Are you also not worried that when he took over, we were second and going strong but have now plummeted to fifth, with sixth looking a real possibility. Hughes's points ratio since he came is 22 points in 22 games. That's relegation form. If it was so easy, we didn't we do it? He also won one match, on penalties, against what must be the worst Hearts side in decades and we even nearly bottled that. Only Draper and Vincent have re-signed under Hughes, hardly "all our players" as you call it. Most contract renewals are dealt with by the chairman as well. The points ratio under Butcher was much better than Hughes. As mentioned previously, Hughes has 22 points in 22 games. That's relegation form. Brilliant? He's been good, but he's not been fantastic. The points do not show how "Hughes has helped us" at all. I don't understand the point you're making about Aberdeen, Hughes has only beaten them once and Ross County are garbage. The fact they're our rivals shouldn't matter. Why should we just be happy for a bonus? Why does the team need adapted, when it was going strong when he took over? Isn't pre-season the time to change tactics. Doing it mid-season is absolutely ridiculous and not working. Latapy was a superb player, Hughes was a good player, but no world beater, but that has nothing to do with it. Also, there previous records are not good at all. Latapy was sacked by the Trinidad and Tobago FA and failed to get them to the Gold Cup. Hughes failed everywhere but Falkirk and even then it wasn't exactly fantastic, they were almost relegated, bottled the cup final with the general consensus being that he would have been sacked had they not gotten there. It's also interesting that their fans don't seem to rate him at all, despite being this "success" that everyone goes on about. Hughes first became a manager 11 years ago. He's done essentially nothing in that time. Oh and for the record, I've only missed one match since Hughes took over.

"Officially" it is still a rumour in that there has been no official announcement, but it is almost certainly correct.
