Bring back the clutter. I liked all the forums lying around and not knowing what to do with them or where to post. Bring back the clutter, clutter is Bomb :010:

Oh well................I was first to post last night after the game.................It's maybe just as well it disappeared. It started, Tripe.......utter tripe and went down hill after that. Today on reflection, neither team deserved to win. Falkirk took the one chance that came their way, I don't recall Brown making any saves last night and the Falkirk keeper was almost as untroubled. We on the other hand missed a couple of very good chances to score. Dods ducking under the ball about five yards from goal, the ball hitting the back of his neck. Bayne fromk a similar distance, diving full length to connect with a ball that bounced across the box near the end, unfortunately for Bayne and much to our anxst, the ball came off the top of his bonce and flew five yards over the bar. The team and tactics were abysmal and the lad Stokes was the only player on the park willing to hold and control the ball, deserving his MoM award. Tokely and Hastings were both poor last night, in fact Hastings was worse than poor, sitting too far back when we needed someone to overlap, but then again why bother, when he does get up the wing, his Canadian crosses are usually garbage. Duncan and Keogh in the middle were ineffective, Dargo useless and Broon back to his worst kicking. Who does that leave, Dods, Munro did okish, Barry never woke up till the last minutes, McBain about the same and that leaves poor old Bayners, as usual giving 150%, but how about giving us some goals. Hart for me should get a run, Morgan one more chance, although he fails to do it as sub and young Rory will get his chance later in the season. In truth, we did not deserve to win, but neither did Falkirk. No atmosphere for these CIS cup games they are now becoming a waste of time, even the old firm can't be arsed with them, and all fans are voting across the country with their feet. On the positive side...............errm......eh....welll........ Maybe the return of Wyness Black and the much maligned Rankin will transform us into world beaters.

Unfortunately, there is no accounting for morons. I too have sat close to a moron......not you Richard, another moron, and for the entire 90 minutes it is just drivel that comes forth from his opening. Every club has them. But we should also remember that not everyone is blessed with the same amount of brain cells and are not fully responsible for their ineptitude. Live and let live............within reason..........thats why I sit beside you Richard. If these guys continue to utter tripe, maybe someone should politely remind them that they shut the fork up before they get a smack on the jaw.

No, but here are my thoughts We appear to be set up to play to our strengths, solid defending and hit on the break. This we can achieve away from home as teams try to have a go. When they come to our patch, they do the same to us and we struggle to carve out the clear cut chances that we require to kill off a game. It probably boils down to lack of real quality, but not many teams in Scotland have that. Me, I am happy enough with our lot, never going to win the SPL, (I'll eat my hat), maybe good cup runs now and then and the odd venture into the top six. For me it is about the individuals perceptions and expectations. I like to try and keep my glass half full, if we exceed that then fantastic, if we under achieve my expectations (relegation, perish the thought) then so be it, I personally can't do anything about that, but it would be a trifle annoying. Lets not forget how far we have come since we entered the big boys leagues. We are now playing against teams we previously only encountered occasionally in the cups, and we are competing fairly well. We have nothing to be ashamed about, remember............... There is no curse, it's all in your own mind.

Well done to Rovers for getting to the semi final of the challenge cup. I see they are doing a deal for their fans. Remember when we were in their position. FANtastic gesture by them to offer a day out in Dingwall for £20, inclusive of transport, match ticket, and PACKED LUNCH. Now, thats the way it should be. from the rovers web site:- Travel Deal The club shall be laying on transport leaving from Cliftonhill at a to be confirmed time if 2.30pm that day. The bargain of the decade price for transport including a packed lunch and admission to the match is £20/£15. :clapping04:

??, I'm suspicious now. I thought Black covered a lot of ground yesterday. Unfortunately most of his good work was defefensive rather than creative, but he was still decent enough to be admonished of a slagging. He kept his cool after his booking, which was a bit needless, although I did not think the foul given against him for which he remonstrated was a stick on, maybe the ref got that one wrong, anyway it obviously angered the wee man. There is no curse, we just need to develop a system to break teams down and put away the numerous chances which come our way.

nice writing B, but I also heard lots of people say that.............??? We have also only lost one game at home, and that was a 'shock' result. We played the current league champions who were unable to beat us. We played top six side Hibernian, who played as well as they have done against us, and still failed to win. We played another top six side in Aberdeen whom we have never beaten before in a competitive match. Agreed we seem to be better suited to away days, as we are more adept at counter attacking. Unfortunately the rest of the SPL will have noticed this and play us at our own game. It's a hard old life.

Are you still awake, off tae yer bed :015: We are a hard lot to please up north and the expectations seem to grow greater with every season. We just need to chill sometimes. I didn't see a massive problem with our performance today.................sometimes aye, sometimes naw, but we never lost ground on United and in fact we climbed a place in the league.

Bayne did ok, his shooting and heading at goal left a bit to be desired but Black was one of our best players......in my humble opinion. Now Rankin, different class, I'll let you decide which class. Oh, Tokely's nudge was more like a hook to the ribs :015: well done Rossco.

Whats the problem 1more, Tokely stuck to a difficult task and won his fair share of headers and tackles, did not see a problem there. Hoofing the ball, we did a bit of that , but maybe instead of everybody criticising our own team, we should give United a bit of credit for taking the game to us. Unfortunately wing wizrd Wilson left his magic at home today and one of our midfielders has still to turn up. The main bubble is impregnable, maybe it is Dargs bubble that has burst.

As per normal we all have differing views.......apart from the view we are getting of Rankin. I do believe he is a decent player, but he has yet to start his ICT career. He has been pretty anonymous since he arrived and for me he does not merit a start. We have ball boys, and girls, who could probably have done the same as he did today. Charlie, give the guy a rest and show a bit of faith in Morgan Hart and Duncan. Unlike most callers, I enjoyed the game today. We were better team in the first half despite United hitting the top of the crossbar and had we put away some of the snippets presented to us we should have been cruising. Alas, we failed to convert any and handed the initiative to United after the break. Fair play to Brew, he came on and changed the pattern of the game. He was able to hold the ball up and lay it off around the box. Just proved to me that he was more valuable as a player than a manager. Nevertheless, our defence stood firm......just, and Broonie capped a confident and assuring performance with a point blank one handed save from Robsons header late in the game. Bayners sclaffed a few awkward shots in the first half and Rankin tried....and skied a couple. Dargo hustled and bustled, but was no match for Kenneth at the heart of Uniteds defence, similarly Dods at the other end was mopping up everything launched high. Top performers for me were Broon, Dods, Munro, Black, Bayne, Tokely and McBain in the first half especially. Can't understand people not being happy with Blacks contribution, he was everywhere and despite a petulant booking kept his cool and served us well. Kencar, I think your eyes are in the wrong way round. Rankin needs to get his finger out. Crowd.................standard crowd, disappointed in the United effort, maybe 200 - 250. As our basic hard core is around 3000, we can't expect anything else. Davie B...........p!sh..............entertaining p!sh maybe. What is it you guys expect to see at ICT????? Get real and stop whinging.

ZI thought it was an entertaining game.......of two halfs, tremendous one handed save by Broon who was my MoM and generally he had his best game in ages, oozing confidence. We had numerous half chances but failed with them all

Black also commenting in the Sun that he won't hang around at Inverness for too long, despite the three year contract. Reckons he was kept in the dark over his transfer saga and he would have liked to have heard what United were saying. He "hopes to be gone from Inverness long before it expires". (contract) "Happy to sign a new contract with Caley, but I still have ambition" He wants to play in England.

Teletext has this squad for todays game Brown Tokely Dods Munro Hastings Wilson Black Morgan Rankin Keogh McBain Dargo McAllister Bayne McCaffrey Duncan Sutherland Fraser No Richie Hart once again?? Wyness still out, Caff fit again after a knock in the reserve game.

Tokely is more than capable of stopping Robson, he will end up with a sore neck. I predict a riot.

is that inches round the waist, or are you really 45 :003:

What do I win :003:

By George, you could be right :003:
