Cut price offers, bargain basement, car boot sales...................maybe some free offers, who knows, sometimes Lidls have offers on Mondays and Thursdays.

Both are true statements though. We are a shell of our former selves. Lets not kid ourselves any longer. We all knew it was going to be tough, but I am not sure the management team knew just how hard it was going to be. The problem is our players are not as good as the previous players we have had at this club, ie, we lack the quality. Unless Butcher can come up with some gems in the January sales we have to set our sights a little lower.

Typical home fare from us, no cutting edge. We actually were better than we were in the first half and the Pars must have wondered why they were trailing at half time. Good jump by Foran to knock it down for Proc who reacted quickest to stroke the ball home. Esson made a fantastic save in the first half, which was equalled in the second half when Pars keeper tipped the ball onto the bar and over. Rooney although he did not score, at least offered a direct threat, but his one on one was not an obvious sitter as the keeper narrowed him down and blocked well as his goalbound effort was cleared. Pars goal from a quick corner caught us out, but Kirk's finish was good as his header maybe went over Esson and off the bar and into the roof of the net. Foran was not a happy bunny when subbed, and appeared to toss his jacket away, not surprised as he was warming up nicely, I wonder if Butch thought he was getting tooooo involved, however, wrong move in my book. We will be happier with the draw than Dunfy, as their passing game was better than our long ball game. Bayne was a handful, as was their left back. Sorry, not big on names just now. They were slicker around the box, just as they were in the opening fixture, but this time Coxy could not pierce the defence. We look like a team of individuals, maybe something Butcher should be looking at. The big disappointment was Hayes injuring himself innocuously and Imrie's rather insipid performance. Rossco went quiet after being booked, no surprise there. All is not lost, but we look a very long way from being a decent first division side. Best for us................Esson for that breathtaking save, Foran for puttiong himself about and Proctor for his goal and general play.

renegade in sense of humour rumour.

Always open to offers.

North...............

Oh dear, he swore................big deal. Get over yersels.

I am.

How much more direct do you want.................he crossed the ball straight into the back of the net against County.

There you go then, if we keep the ball to our own players then we don't lose goals.

I thought his ball retention was not too bad. He is not as direct as Hayes but he tries to keep the ball within his own team, if that means going back then thats what he will do. I have seen him snapping at opposition heels. For the life of me though, I don't see that he is any better that what Zander Sutherland was, they are almost identical. Therein lies Mr Butchers problems, the players he has brought in just don't have any value add. We have released guys like Vigurs and Wood, Roy not getting a game and we have not increased the quality of our squad. Now that is down to the present manager.

how about we call them 'better than us'

OK everyone, chill out. Keep the personal abuse down please. Some posts have been reported to the moderators and warning will be issued as appropriate. It is a frustrating time for everyone, but lets not start a bun fight amongst ourselves.

As it says on the tin. Our midfield is now just a complete joke. We should have one of the better defences in this league, but because our midfield is totally rubbish, the defence and attack are made to look very poor. No creation, no passion and no ball winners. No pace to help out the attack. Something has to change and it has to change fast. We are now just another struggling football team and unless a miracle happens, we will be in the doldrums for a long long time to come.

Another doing at home. How much longer can this go on. I was quietly optimistic after watching the first half and eagerly waited for the second half to start. What went wrong? We went from decent to being on the back foot and as soon as the second goal went in we just new it was all over for us. We remarked at half time that Queens were one of the poorest teams we had seen in Inverness this season. They were only fooling around with us and when they realised we were impotent they upped their game and ran out comfortable winners. First and third goals were excellent strikes. In the first half Grantie & Bully had Holmes and Wyness measured, apart from the opening goal. Did Weatherson make them tick over better? Something happened at half time anyway, as we looked a completely different team, and it was not for the better. We are so ineffective up front. Plenty of possession, but little to trouble the keeper. Rossco did thunder one towards the top corner, which the keeper saved brilliantly, but oither than that I don't recall us over working him. This is getting tedious now. We used to play with pride and flair and could always mount a cavalry charge when required. Not any more. We used to score loads of goals, in fact when we won promotion our goal difference was something like plus 36. Not any more. Foran was playing well yesterday, everything he did was carried out with skill and quality, unfortunately it all happened outside the penalty box. We have no midfield, therefore the strikers get no suppoprt and the defence get to help. I am now officially disgruntled, and it's been a long time since I was gruntled.

slow down everybody...........................it's going to be a long hard weekend

Undoubtedly...........Foran was Mom.................. Lets just see what the rest think on the matchday poll.

Was he not one of our less worse players today

:angry: oh dear, I thought he was our best player today..................................is it the rest that need a boot up the gonads

I have one or two issues with the post. Eagle - GET FURTHER UP THE PITCH and STOP USING GOLLY AS YER SCAPEGOAT...I quite like Eagle, I may be on my own here though. Sanchez - STAY FORWARD MORE AND GET STUCK IN..........for me, he just needs to go somewhere else. Bulvitis - Just go back to the Latvian league, at least Mihadjuks tried when he was here!......he was not out of place today, not outstanding, just no worse than others. Tokely yer past it son, yer gettin yer arse skelped by players running riot past you all the time. Munro Yer no a captain yer just a useless hoofer away and join McGuire at Formartine! I don't think either of the last two statements are true.

My other first 'driving' lesson was with Gregor Mackintosh from Nairn at Grantown.

Been at the beer festival brosno................
