If anyone wants to tag Dodds and the club on this right now, it'll get the excuse set up nice and early this year

Fully expect to see him punted our on the wing after a few games and doddsball continued unsuccessfully to Billy as per previous seasons

Cairns would never play regular for us,he's too tall and might actually win an ariel challenge

Jim Goodwins had a shocking start to the season so fingers crossed................

^ that's a bit unfair, given SG success at dealing with other clubs finances and BD being part of the Rangers cheating EBT crew, I couldn't think of a better combination to be incharge when we get all the battery storage and Freeport ca$h. Cant be long now until we a 'ballers' playing moneyball with these sports washing Saudi's................

Airdrie will be this years Hamilton

We really don't. Weaker than last year in key areas and what will probably be a stronger and more competitive league. Mid table last season was a failing, this year that should be taken as our expectation.

Oh dear, dissent already........ The extension of Doddsball should be celebrated and we should all be supporting and behind such a master tactician and proponent of the game. Given his cv of success you can see why the board stuck with the great man after leading us through the worst injury crisis to ever affect any club in the modern era with unwavering confidence in his play and formations refusing to alter in the face of adversity. This is going to be a roller coaster season and I am delighted we have doddsball to see us through.

Knew it

More feasible. While based on the high ball approach Dodds likes so would be a physical foil for Billy (akin to Phillips& Quinn or even Dodds & Shearer), he never used Oakley last year in that 'target man' role , instead opting for Samuels or Boyd - resulting in a frontline with less height than a borrowers convention.

Thankfully we have Panos on board so there won't be expensively invoiced medical bills anymore for consultants............

Fans only matter to any club when the cash stops rolling in. Unlike any other business, football (and sport) is built on unwaivering fan loyalty (unless you're a glory hunter or plastic fan) so those in charge know they can treat their customer base with utter contempt and it has little to no effects unfortunately. There may be exceptions with great community ties and everyone feels part of a 'family' but they are the minority and there is a disconnect throughout football right now. The club will look at it from the perspective that employing someone to actively work as an SLO or in communications will cost £25,30,40k pa, even if its part time that's still half a salary................does investing that time (and cash) result in more returns that it costs. For a club our size its probably debatable - realistically given our ST costs we'd need a drop of around 600 just to make back the lowest quoted figure. Even with the discontent its unlikely we will see such impacts year on year (and nobody will look back beyond that because they will justify with other external factors)

This.

Are you really now saying that a man in his mid-thirties, just doesn't really know or understand what he is saying is a defense? A man who lets not forget has been around this 'environment' all his life and been involved in several incidents of this nature, yet doesn't know (or hasn't learned) whats right or wrong? But so long as there's no 'hatred' (although discrimination in modern society is deemed hatred) that's ok, because its just playing up to an audience? In your position as a moderator, would I get banned or sanctioned on here for discriminatory language (I'd hope so)? Would you then rescind and defend me if I then said I was only joking and have a pal who is **insert offended sub-group** Would it be expected that everyone else would just say 'Aye, no bother its banter'? Football wise, he may be a good foil for Billy or a smaller striker, but his best days may be behind him. Target man with experience - perfect for Doddsball but his off-field reputation and behaviour will unlikely bring much positive column inches in the press and could put off sponsors and fans alike.

Maybe you need an invite to Gordon Terrace these days for an audience.

So its OK to be discriminatory if its deemed 'banter'. Shocking news - this isnt the 70s anymore.

He's a bigoted sectarian *****......that's proven. Just the kind of guy we want around the family club we are supposed to be.

Our players only just finished last season a few weeks ago due to the cup final, they deserve some family time etc. We also need to be pragmatic and accept the LC group stages is nothing more than friendlies which they replace and while progress would be good a lot of teams are still building for the real event being the league campaign. JH was only ever on loan and we were never really going to keep him, he was always away to another Premiership team

Will that be before or after unveiling Kyle Lafferty? Can see the mileage in that rumour - bug target guy with a staunch background....perfect for hoof and hope Doddsball Really ******* hope this is all just a big misunderstanding

Hoping that given his history, he is involved in the medicals and risk assessment for our summer signings and we wont see repeats of the 'injury crisis' from this season.................

Its not about how many, its the quality and probing nature that's needed then the conviction to put the board on the spot to challenge them. Unfortunately (no offence) but we know the pods done wont 'bite the hands that feeds them' and call out the board as liars or weak

I hear we already offer the best championship level football fan experience available in the Inverness City boundaries. Pretty sure that aligns with the board opinions too.

Knowing our board it'll be castore incoming with an orange away kit
