Raith, Elgin, Darvel/Falkirk next please. Great chance of getting to Hampden this year

Here’s hoping Elgin can hold on. Nice wee quarter finals would be excellent v them.

I can sense a few raging at us winning today already

I can only assume they (whoever makes the choice) looked at our league results in the month:

6-1 home win

4-1 away win

0-0 home draw with leaders

2-2 away draw

and decided no team had done better than us.

Sadly the start of February is has completely removed what hope we had a few weeks ago. 

A 3-0 win and a 2-2 draw with Morton ?

Congratulations

Billy Dodds is the Championship Manager of the Month for January!

It just makes you wonder who the judges are or how bad all the others have been!

I took a wander along today.  A thoroughly entertaining match.  Might decide to skip the men's matches and follow the ladies instead

Steady on, they aren’t even averaging a point a game this season.

Bit slow to the party

I completely agree CC. Yes, we all love a cup run but I feel the current manager and squad do not have the same determination as was shown on Tue night (I wasn't there, just judging by match report and stats). Gone are the days of us handing out cup 'shocks'....for now. 

We beat Livi this season, we also beat them in the Scottish Cup 2 years ago.

I think lack of accommodation was a real factor as well as Skipinnish being on the same night. Not buying the has been argument many have offered though as obviously still selling out arenas 

Location? Inverness probably just not big enough to be hosting these kind of events.

Also not really sure what a Skipinnish is but that may be your answer, if people are going along to that instead it might just explain there’s certainly a different culture up in the highlands.

Don't you think Fraz may have been taking about an irony roof???

Yes that’s why I gave him a funny emoji, just letting my opinion out that the west roof is stupid.

FGS, enough is enough now, it's time for Dudds and his **** assistants to ho because this is unacceptable now, thats TWO years in a row we've gone out the first f***ing round .

It's just not acceptable and Mr Gardiner should know that too!

You can’t blame Dodds when the other team is trying to cheat.

Rules are rules….

Come on now.

Look at how much communication has improved.

Also I'm certain the the roof on the west stand is getting really close to being built. Remember that it just wasn't possible earlier because of the concerts.

Who cares about the west stand roof? Honestly if the club spend any of their money on that it will be an absolute waste. Fair enough if it gets fundraised but that shouldn’t be a priority.

Think there are a lot of us season ticket holders now not using them  . Anyone that knows anything about football can see how backwards we have gone with Dodds .  Certainly can’t see me renewing mine which is sad really .Drawing with Raith is not a good result and should not be applauded as some are doing . He is extremely lucky the club is not in a financially strong footing as he would be long gone . Very poor appointment at the time which looks like we are now stuck with till the end of season . Roll on the end of this era.

We finished 5th the season Dodds took over, then finished 3rd at the end of his first season and were 45 mins away from promotion. This season we’re back to 5th. I’m not sure he’s been any worse than what we’ve had since John Hughes. Let’s see how we get on when some of the injured players get back.

Why can't we just open the North stand? Instead of always the main? 

Because the North Stand is made of Lego and sh|t

So the club should just ignore the fact that some fans will not attend because of the decision?

To be clear, not saying those fans are right/wrong, just highlighting the situation.

Rather pathetic if that’s their reason. The Main stand is perfectly fine and if there’s hardly anyone there it’ll at least get everyone together.

Yassssss well done Dodds! That’s what we want to see. More like it please

Happy New Year to you Dougal and all CTO posters. 
Things have gone quiet since Covid, could be that people have found other things to do but I do think it’s the poor performance on and off the park that has caused posters to loose interest. 
I do miss Scarlet although I recall in his last post he was struggling health wise. Charles Bannerman must be too busy with his Courier column. Laurence was a regular that could stir up a few .  Even yourself, you don’t often post but throw in a few grenades now and again

bishbashbosh was another useless he changed his handle to No Shin Guards

Scarlet was last on the site around a week ago so hopefully all is well and he is just more of a reader these days

I’m not a big fan of the roof on the west stand idea. I think it’s a bit pathetic that we’d be looking to raise funds for a roof when we have plenty of room else where in the stadium that’s covered. The club is struggling financially at the moment and instead of focussing on that we have certain fans wanting some sort of identity.

It’s a waste of everyone’s time in my opinion and that isn’t going to benefit many. Who needs a roof anyway? I used to spend my youth up and down the bridge side at games moving depending on where we were shooting. I’m rarely up at the stadium these days as I only go to Away games but is that a possibility these days? 

45? 45 mins away from Premier League football

I was away abroad for a few years and missed some things.

So could you enlighten me about the shoes off thing please?

 

Cold winter night at Hamilton we decided to take our shoes off in protest of Craig Brewster. He was sacked soon after. But what I would give for these days again. Btw Brewster was manager

Well that was a dire watch  I'm afraid that we will soon be a part time club   the standard of players have dropped over the  last few seasons  unless we get a major investment in the club we can forget any promotion hopes .to be honest I've seen better players in the old welfare league   I know there is a lot of injuries but surely we could have put on a better performance than that debacle tonight  is there another Steve Patterson  out there  we all loved that era

Dick Campbell if he was 5 years younger. 

I was looking forward to a Friday night under the lights…
