This is what happens when you take donkeys to a horse race...

We are officially 'in the shyte'

Jeezuz things not looking to good the noo! cant score,cant keep players fit or even on the park, 'silky football' down the swannie, looks like panic football is setting in.

Well lets hope we get a nil... as well as Saints!

Aye, just seen the highlights, Mantis called it right!!! What a load of shyte! Looking at the 2nd goal again, there is no way Williams is going to commit himself that far out, he was never going to win the ball, And i don't think we would have more chance with 10 men, we would have needed 15 players and a miracle to get a result last night. That's looking like a team of very average players with low confidence and i hope Yogi can sort them because the next few weeks are going to be very demanding because we can't score goals and we're doing our best to help the other teams score.

Feckin good job our players aren't horses.

Canna say i'm surprised, we've been staggering along for a while, its looking like the home game vs Hamilton is going to be crucial, more important than the qtr final for sure.

Feck!!! 1-0 down, now we will see what the boys are made of!

Storeys last goal was 2nd Jan, vs the Scum, when he diverted a shot into the net, before that it was 29th Nov vs Ceptic, pretty shyte stats really! If Yogi thought he was going to be our saviour this season its not looking good. Which brings me to another gripe, Injuries. We have had so many injured, key players out this season i cant believe its just bad luck. Is it training systems or crap training facilities? but to have this many injuries is very mysterious, I've never known any Caley -thistle team to have this many players sidelined.

Nah, that was a McManus OG that one Alex!

Just wondering how long its been since our striker scored a goal?

AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! NOT AFECKINGAIN Seriously ****** off with a late goal, 3 points would have been so welcome.

Steve Marsella was the scout Butcher used to get players up from down south, Last time i heard he was with Grimsby Town. Dont know if he's helping Yogi now tho'...

I would certainly like to hear from ICT their perspective on the Tanseygate issue! Nowt but silence... I would also like to hear why we could not find a striker, was Yogi actually trying to sign one or was he hoping for one of the new signings to transform into one?

Maybe Yogi Hughes knew before you eh?

Rumour tells me Alex Fishers injury may not be as bad as thought, and he may be back soon.

Pitch inspection announced for 7.30 tomorrow morning. If the night is as bad as today there could be bad news ahead.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35435130 Top ref John Fleming complains that his colleagues are getting 'over the top' criticism, Perhaps if he witnessed some of the displays that I have seen he would understand why! And its not just the ref's, the Ass ref's have been so clueless its scary, we see decisions being made that are a complete mystery, bookings being made when common sense would say a quiet word might get more respect.

He's had 2 seasons to 'bed' in his idea's.. Yesterday was poor, we don't have the guile to break teams down, the only time we managed to get behind their defence when Storey's pace took him past the right back and put the ball on a plate for Polworth - who carried out his cross eyed attempt at goal by missing when it was easier to hit the target! Draper was also guilty of missing a sitter, heading over when hitting the target would have been easier, jeez its hard going the noo, and i can see it being like this to the end of the season i'm afraid, scrabbling for a point here or there.

He is the full time goalkeeper coach, done all his certs and he was going for his Euro coaching badge.

Agree with the last post, Line up from start looked so ponderous for a cup game vs much lower league opposition! far too defensive, cant wait to hear Yogi's take on the game! Really think he needs to add a winger or two in January.

Tell ya.. that was a huge win and 3 points, well done guys! what a performance and i'm delighted that Liam Polwarth is stepping up to become a great player for us. Talk about a nailbiting finish!! jeez must have been a nerve shredding finale for those watching, anyway that will give the team a big boost to their confidence for Saturday, canna wait now!

Well needed 3 points, but by feck that second half was dire!! we did the simple things wrong and when we had chances we took the wrong choice. Meekings HAS to go back into central defence with Warren, drop Devine, and play Horner /Raven at RB! Anyway, delighted with the result and another of the same next week and it will be a happy xmas/birthday for me!!!!

Well, firstly i'm well pissed off hearing Yogi's comments in the press.. ' We need to be sharper and more clinical in the final third' Doh! That must be the first line in his quotes for the press after most games this season! yet he starts with a 4 5 1 set up, with Storey looking so remote on his own up front. The stunningly poor goal rate from our midfield is a worry, take Ryan out of the picture and our midfield have scored 2 goals from open play this season! Shocking, i wonder if this slow,pedantic build up is the reason, as it is the midfield have no pace players to help Storey up front or to get wide and behind opposition defenders. Next observation, Meekings is a far better central defender than Devine, Our best defensive partnership was Meekings and Warren, lets get that back. All the goals yesterday should have been defended better, when Mcgregor ran forward with the ball, Devine reversed just about as quickly and gave the young lad all the room in the world to score, poor defending. Meekings should have done better for the second and Devine was ball watching, and for the third... well just a joke. We are shipping far too many goals due to shyte defending, get Devine off, put either Raven or Horner at RB, And our best defence back in there.

I would agree with this, especially the last bit...
