Sir C the 3rd

'Please officer, the big bullies came from Inverness and called us gypsies and made our manager cry' 'don't worry son, we'll make sure these louts never tarnish the streets of Dingwall again, I mean i know you sing songs about how you hate them and they're tinks and live in a dump and all that. But making someone cry is out of order!! I'll make sure silence is enforced or else!! OR ELSE!!!!'

Can i just ask, was Danny Wilson eligible on Saturday

Yet again its all Butchers fault, he had the wrong tactics, wrong subs, hit a fan....... get a grip of yourselves. We were playing a team that was in good form in the SPL and had 1 shot!! 1 all night and somehow its gone in. I really don't know what more he could of done to have us win the game. Not so long ago we would be sitting there watching us repeatedly hoof the ball and come back on here praising Christie and Brewster for a well earned point. Yes its frustrating but i'm afraid this happens in football. Its not the substitutions fault. Killie have been 1 down for over an hour and they've seeen we've missed a tonne of chances. They've pushed on in the last 2 minutes and scored with there only shot. I think we realisticly have to expect a team to have 1 shot against us in a game, unfortunatley for us they got it and scored it at the most frustrating time. If it had gone over or wide would anyone have cared, I thought we should have cleared the cross and the shot would never have happened. We would be on here praising a really good performance and the only thing we'd be moaning about is not taking our chances yet again. I'm not saying you shouldn't critiscise the guy, but there seems to be people on this website who's whole point in posting is just to constantly critisice and look for ridiculous conspiracy theories at every time. Rumouring that he punched someone without the facts in my opinion is an absolute disgrace. Maybe Pep Guardiola or Jose Mourinho will be available next time we need a manager. But i'm sure even they will be tactically inept compared to some of the expert tactical geniuses on here.

Should have been 4 or 5 up by the time they scored and thats not an exaggeration. If we keep playing like that though the wins will come. McKay needs a goal to get his confidence in front of goal back (missed an open goal in first 5 mins and a decent chance in the second) but his movement is still brilliant. He reminds me a bit of Kenny Miller, great movement and pace but an instinctive striker. Doesnt like too much time to think. Also in my opinion neither ours nor Killies shouts for pens were actual penalties, i thought they were both good tackles.

I wouldn't want to get to the final after this. I'm sure its just an error somewhere. We're not in the final because we didn't take some chances my granny could have scored. Not becasue Danny Wilson was playing.

John Scott was a really good player. Remember him scoring a cracker v Forfar I think it was at Telford Street, burst through from the half way line and scored. He went off to a "soccer scolarship" in America and came back and played for Deveronvale.

Totally agree Chris, all the stuff with Vigurs was banter. He celebrates in front of us and gets dogs abuse. I celebrate in front of him at the end and get a bit of abuse back, all fair game I think.

In a cup tie it doesnt matter how you do it, as long as you get through. We did that and we are through and County are trudging home "robbed" yet again. The penalty was directly in front of the ref plus Tokely also got a yellow, so without seeing the incident i'm very confident it was a penalty. 2nd half, did we get a free kick??? So much for Thomson being in our favour, it was just relentless ball after ball into the box from set pieces. Which is why County are out of the cup and at the bottom of the table. They struggle to create anything other than from set pieces. My highlight of the game was at full time as Vigurs was walking up the tunnel. After constantly asking him what the score was he gave me the w4nker gesture as he got to the tunnel entrance. Feeling honoured that i got under his skin!!

3rd goal was definitely not offside, check out the pic in todays Scotsman. Roberts quite clearly behind Brown and whoever the county defender was. The 2nd goal definitely was offside but it would have been so much clearer for everyone if Tokely hadn't been holding Foran so close to him!! The man is utterly obsessed with Caley, as are most of there fans. Make no mistake they would be happy to finish 9th in the 3rd every season as long as we were below them.

I was at the Cowden game, I also remember Tokely going mental then too when Stewarty clipped in that winner!!

also who was the last team to win back to back away matches against both halves of the old firm??? Don't know the answer but i'm sure ICTChris could let us know!

the rumour has it we'll be 6 figure sum better off by the end of the season once a couple of contracts arent renewed.

It happened right in front of the referee and the player put up no complaints. Its a red card regardless of how much of a meal he makes of it.

Even if he had signed, if he showed half the form he did last season he'd be away by now anyway!!

Lets not get too carried away. We weren't great in the first half and Coventry could easily have had 2 or 3 goals if they'd have taken their chances better. The pace was also significantly slower in the 2nd half, with us bringing on a few subs and coventry only 1. That said, the basics looked better, we were coming short for the ball and trying to play passing football throughout. Cooper looked very good for a youngster. A good win against a team that looked pretty handy in the 1st half. Also I was speaking to some cov fans that were at the game against County and said we looked quite a bit better than they did. So time will tell.

The situation is such a mess i don't think anybody, including experts like ourselves know exactly whats going on. I can't imagine anything is set in stone at the moment, who's playing in what league isn't decided and we're kicking off in 3 weeks, so i'm sure the finer points of money distribution and tv deals aren't known. I'm sure everything will be discussed and negotiated over the coming weeks and months with all parties. I don't know why thats so difficult to grasp also!

I don't understand why this is the only chance for reconstruction, Rangers at the moment (probably only till next week) but at the moment are in Division 3. If that stays as it is, they will have 3 years and ample opportunity to change things for the better and fairly for the game. Chairmen and clubs seems to be caught up in the immediate financial situation surrounding Rangers and not looking at the bigger picture. If the SPL chairmen including our own are angry at anyone, it should be themselves. They shouldn't have been so silly to suggest a league reconstruction vote on the same day the SFL clubs were taking a vote on the extremely emotional issue of Rangers. I don't know about anyone else but the reconstruction bit seemed just to be tacked on to the end of the Rangers vote and was barley discussed before the vote. So there is plenty of time for this to be discussed. If all the clubs pull together and help each other, the game can survive and not only survive but prosper.

What a truly woeful, embarrassing, shameful and misjudged statement.

Completely agree Chris. Also I have to wonder what 1st, 2nd and 3rd division teams are going to be worse off due to Rangers bringing full houses and probable tv money to their grounds. To my mind the only club in Scotland who will suffer is Celtic. Voting rights, tv deals and the like that the old firm have sought to control since the formation of the SPL would all be lost so they'll be completely desperate to keep them I would think. Hence the reason it doesn't look like there will be a desicion.

SPL look to be delaying the vote. Thanks liars

We should have nipped in ahead of charles green and bought Rangers, then sold off the ground and murray park. Dare say we would have made a few quid out of that. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if thats what Charles has on his mind too!

Scottish football is as corrupt as Italian football now, at least the Italians look like they try to do something about it. In this country we bend over backwards to ensure the cheats, and thats what they are, ensure the cheats prosper! Also as someone above says, Who exactally is this bad news for??? As far as i'm aware the tv deal is £80m over 4 years and the old firm get 85% of that. Even if its reduced to £15m over 4 years but is split equally, every club bar the old firm will actually be BETTER off!! Get them in division 3 now or this fan will be lost to football in Scotland for good

I also noticed this little gem from yesterdays announcement. SPL to give SFL (Rangers) £1m for live tv games. SO they get more money than SPL teams??? Who would have though Mad Vlad was right?

Although I agree that we shouldn't pre judge them, they don't sound like the most inspiring signings. Their careers being punted from pillar to post in the lower leagues of England and Spain doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence. We used to bring in players we thought would be good, now we bring in players we hope will be good. The thing thats most annoying for me now, is that we're not a team anymore. We're a collection of individuals brought in for 1 year then its a whole new team again the next season. I look at Dundee Utd, the amount of players they've brought in from lower leagues (even part time) who have come in and been a huge success. I don't understand why we dont look down there for players, i dare say we could afford some players on part time wages who want to go full time. And whisper it, maybe even a 2 year deal!!

The powers that be trying to move heaven and earth to make sure the punishment can be watered down at every turn. One season in first division and then its back to as you were. Monotonous processions to the championship year after year after year. I'm sorry Scottish football, dont change things now during your one and only chance you'll ever get, then its bye bye forever.
