I doubt very much that Ardiles was a serious attempt to land the ICT job.

OK Gus, I'll see your Wyness and raise you a Rory, Barrowman Hastings and McGuire...............

Talking Heads are on the road to nowhere. Congratulations on getting the job Terence. The hard work begins now, be prepared to roll your sleeves up and please ensure you tighten the leaky defence.

What happens if we were to win after a Scotland game......................it's all ifs and buts.

He has found his true vocation then.

We will lose all of our decent players to bigger clubs. It's how it works I'm afraid. Not a thing we can do about it. Very frustrating for the fans, but money talks.

a celtic junior as well

I am a no and yes man. Anybody below Aberdeen could easily be dragged back into the battle. The obvious reaction would be to make it a two horse race but with fifteen points up for grabs after the split I see no reason that we will not be capable of winning these games. We will also get a boost, hopefully, from the recruitment of Butcher. Yes, for the reasons in my above paragraph..................plus I don't want us to get relegated. But, if thats what happens, then so be it.

Are you sure it was Butcher you had and not Brewster?

Ach well, we won't have to change the banner too much.

OK OK, I give in. Enough sources pointing towards Butcher becoming the next manager with Malpas as his assistant. I believe there will be an official press release later today with Setanta possibly covering this 'exclusive' Might not be till around 16:00 though. All will be revealed soon.................

Like dirty Den in Eastenders...........

show me the photo's

Here is the article...................make your own mind up. Former England captain Terry Butcher has accepted the role of manager at Inverness. Butcher was expected to succeed Craig Brewster in the Highland hot seat, and takes over ahead of this weekend?s match with Celtic. The Setanta Sports pundit takes over with Caley sitting bottom of The SPL, two points adrift of Falkirk. He returns to Scottish football having previously managed Motherwell from 2002 to 2006, and has since been in charge at Sydney FC before becoming George Burley?s assistant with Scotland last year. The 50-year-old is expected to continue in his role with the national team, with Setanta Sports News understanding that he will sign an 18-month deal with Inverness. Maurice Malpas is set to be named as Butcher?s assistant, a role he carried out when the pair were at Fir Park.

Tell me when it's on the official site then.

Still using the word expected............... I expected this to happen, but nothing on official site yet..............bide yer time.

No official confirmation yet, although I suspect it is a matter of time.

I would rather have had Robbo & Barry in to the end of the season. They know what the score is, Butcher is starting from scratch at a crucial stage of the season. And he has been sacked from a few jobs as well. His alleged assistant has not fared any better. But what do we know. Whoever it is, we must get behind them.

Ah, but will he accept it?

Fair do's then Butcher it is................is it. As said elsewhere, whoever gets the job needs the full backing of the supporters.

Keeper was a bit suspect at the Marius goal. Good strike but should probably have been saved. Aye, big Bobby scored any number of free kicks to order.

What a spanker of a free kick. World class Mr Brewster

How was it soft. McBain appears to pull Driver back using both arms. It's a foul. We can live without the invisible man for some games.

Closing this topic as another Countdown Thread has started with a more serious discussion point.

Sorry, you have all lost the plot. Roy was rightly adjudged to have fouled Driver. Not the last man therefore a booking suffices. Abusing the official seconds later was inexcusable. Red card. Two wrongs don't make a right. Obua challenged for a ball and got the benefit from it. More often than not the keeper gets the benefit, not this time unfortunately for us. Why should the keeper always get the verdict, they get too much protection in my opinion. Annoying when these decisions go against you. What went on before probably wound the players up, but still no excuse for the needless tackle, needless foul and needless sending off.
