Any grown up who refers to having a 'big team' is an absolute sad sack. Its child playground mentality and undoubtedly these are the kind of folks that wear their 'big club' top on a foreign all inclusive holiday every day.

And some were clamouring for Imrie - as of he'd be a form of step upwards and has a record of over achievement with Morton

Anyone know where this wage stealer was today?

No. But if he starts appearing at our games now, people can pull their own conclusions into that.

Dodds back on the radio today seeming perplexed about why he was punted while Chick Young and but chums wax lyrical about caley being rash and Billy being treated unfair. Also ducking and weaving any acknowledgement or interest into the action at Gayfield.

If Dodds genuinely never saw this coming or thought there were issues then hes clearly as narcissistic and deluded as the rest at the club.

Bunnet-ball v Duncball

Away game, crap weather probably a bit of pressure on our guys knowing the new manager is there. Not very impressive on paper but it's a cup and into the next round so let's take a positive this wk.

Only 2 games for another trophy to get an early cup double in the cupboard. I hope Dunc insists on a bus tour to celebrate.

You forgot to vote 

I'll be optimistic that we get 5th, just missing out. It'll account for Dunc getting the team set up and slowly finding a rhythm but becoming stable enough to mount a challenge only to fall flat and we can all still slate Dodds for his early season horror run.

On the radio tonight already, stealing Robb's Dingwall gig.

The guy has had a shocker and binned due to being utterly crap in management yet gets a gig on national radio giving his advice as an expert pundit just days later. Nepotism rife in the media as the old boys pat each other on the back.

New man, new expectations? Where do you think we will end up with Duncball?

Worth noting its 'only' 6 games gone so 30 still to go, plenty chance to either make up ground and overhaul the 13 point gap to the top or fail spectacularly and stay rooted where we are.

squad shortcomings 

I think this may be his biggest issue. Dodds certainly like to make sure a lot of his signings were not going to physically intimidate him

SG jacket still on a shouglie peg but I doubt he ain't going

Maybe he has just saved his skin,but he needs to look at how he is running the club.

A bold managerial decision doesn't change anything, even with an upturn in results. All the same questions around finances, top heavy structure and dismissive attitude towards fans all remain.

Whether Dodds & Wilson has been paid off or getting paid we have now an outlay on a new managerial team on a long deal plus retaining our DoF. Even if we stay up this year financially we not strengthening so big worry if we drop to the seaside leagues.

What your suffering from there is called confirmation bias.

We are in as big a shambles as Forest Green.

Forest Green is full of vegans. That in itself should exonerate Dunc from any blame in that shambles.

This if true has all the makings for an utter car crash. Hoping for a few months of bat **** crazy entertainment at least.

Might start a poll on which opposition manager will be the first to get a 'slap'

Excited to see what tomorrow brings. 

Double act of disappointment and disbelief if I was a betting guy

Heard there's a guy available who got to the Scottish Cup final last year with a championship club and season before narrowly missed our on promotion via the play offs. International caps and domestic trophy winner as a player.

On paper seems like the sort of manager who could be quite a coup?

Also mentioned on Sportsound that Scott Brown has been in Inverness.

Better than most of the dross on the bookies list. Probably not popular with some supporters but much more progressive than considering the likes of mccall, mcintyre etc

Well that’s no use as most fans don’t want Gardiner or Robbie as part of the set up anymore

 

Maybe not but do they want imrie and on what reasoning? Or is this another case of ex-player or coach returning?

Hoping for more structure, shape, organisation and identity in our play. Will be interesting to see who our DoF plays based on his recruitment involvement and what formations. It'll be an indication of how Dodds was perceived by others within the football structure.

Realistically signs of improvement over Doddsball will be welcomed. Result wise anything other than a defeat will be positive and from where we are or were with Dodds perhaps unexpected.

Imrie comes across as a bit of a 'strong' character, can't see him being a boardroom choice happy to have Robbo and Gardiner making decisions on his behalf. Board will want a yes man

I suspect he see's the idea for a fan meeting at a pub as being a few dissenters ranging into the 10's and not really representative of a majority.
