We can sit and enjoy a grand debate with a bottle of grog. We are a couple of intelligent, mature and debonair gentlemen. Hope blackieforce can make it. Can we just share the grog? :017:

I dont actually agree with that IHE, I think you have to judge a system or tactic on the number of clear cut chances you create, if the goals we'd scored in our last three wins were all as good as the one v St Mirren or the 4th v Gretna then I would definitely say stick with the 451. No doubting the quality of the finish from Black v United and Maximus' goals on Saturday but there was a fair degree of luck involved in all three. If having more men in midfield and a less gun-ho right back keeps us steady at the back then theres no reason to change things for the Celtic game, there has to be room for improvement though. We wont be lobbing keepers from 20+ yards every weekend, we can punish Celtic out wide if we want to and need to use Rankin and Cowie more out wide. The current system seems to work as it allows our most important players to play in their best positions, Black and Rankin especially, which makes the back 4 and Duncans job easier. Thats not to say that if we dont make changes and we go onto lose I wont be satisfied, after three wins too nil its impossible to complain too harshly.

Wilson and Bayne are too huge players for us on the bench, both are capable of changing games in the second half and as above, if it isnt broken then dont fix it. If there is to be a change then it should be Rankin taking McBains place and Wyness coming into Rankins.

100% deserved victory for Mayweather, totally different class to Hatton tonight I'm glad I stayed up for that and I'm glad the ********s who followed Hatton spent fortunes to watch it, lost my support as soon as they boo'd the US national anthem, even though I thought it was funny.

sort it out chaps! :018:

Clacher part of my name is in reference to the area of Inverness I grew up, went to Primary School and later returned for work, its a real shame to see it still as the only reference to Clach amongst the 1,000+ usernames registered on here. _Holiday2 part just looks good and sounds good, was installed as my username at a time when I felt a greater presence on the site was required. I was moving quickly away from my teenage years of the Neale Cooper era/FAO board and felt as though I had to push myself into the main stream for a bit of pitch width whining, Bobby Mann baiting and taking the happy clapper f'ckers head on. Out of all the teenagers who used the site back in the Brechin days it was important one of us raised their game. :003: Thinking about a name change in the new year as CH2 has probably served its usefulness, I'm turning into an old man myself, Clacher_ _____ 3 will come about at some point before the start of next season.

It's also worse.

Would you not count his turn and cross v Hearts earlier this season?

""Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream"" Said the Asda delegation during their attempt to shut down Tescos in Inverness. :029:

Jesus does this mean we have to share a train. Can I sit in the Hearts end of it? :sillywave:

I'll support them if they buy the Calais Stadium of us.

I think we should be actively trying to pull in people from around Inverness, we should sell/give away blocks of season tickets to schools in Ross Shire and right down the Moray firth and let them rotate who gets which games. The name of the team, with Inverness included, will in the long run have a bigger pull to those 6 fingered weirdos than any name without Inverness. As for reaching to extreme out lying areas, well who really cares, we'll never compete with the media coverage the Old Firm get and ultimately thats how the vast majority of these people will stay 'in touch' with their clubs. These forgotten places, like the place Buckett lives, should stay forgotten. The sad thing about the clubs lack of activity in trying to bring in more out of town(or in) punters is that right now is the time we have to do it, infact it may have already passed, we need to seriously find a way to push season ticket sales in areas as far east as Elgin and upto Tain. The only reasons for not doing this are laziness and complacently, thats aimed at the supporters trust aswell as those employed by the club, inexcusable. :018:

I've no idea how I'd feel if we won 5-0 at Ibrox, I've only ever seen us win 1-0 there, I'll give it some thought :029: I apologise if I've offended you Blackieforce, I've always thought you were funny, especially on Pie and Bovril. Its been a long time since I've had a proper moan about anything since Christie left, I've barely said anything despite the enormous number of negative ICT topics being churned out this year. As has always been the case, I only ever say something when I have an opinion on it, if you happen to disagree with it then its your prerogative to do so and to say what you like in reply. It'd be great if I had the influence to push any kind of agenda on here, be it negative or positive, but I dont and therefore dont ***** about any old subject just to bring the rest of you down.

Is the Dundee Social Club going to be open then?

Theres no need to be patronising 12thMan, the boo boys are followers of ICT just as you are (dont give me any nonsense about them not being true 'supporters' please, I do get it). Without wanting to sound too dramatic I'm surprised that so many on here are condemning freedom of speech, as much as booing Rory after being out for so long in a bloody warm up leaves a bad taste in my mouth, the posts making reference to what it says on the back of the match ticket, with the hint that some would try to get the stewards involved if it happens again, leaves an equally sour taste. I think the boo boys should leave it next time, theyve had their say and so have Rorys supporters, next time a decision is being made by Brewster that fans disagree with then the booing should be aimed at him or those above him. We wouldnt be the first group of fans to call for a manager or chairmans head. As it happens I think the booing of Mcallister was more of a reaction to EVERYTHING that appears to be going wrong at ICT rather than at the lad himself, giving him pelters for for somebody elses decision making just isnt fair. If there is booing then I suggest those who disagree with it make their feelings known by cheering him through the abuse, rather than getting the baton swingers involved. Going to the stewards sets a dangerous precedent and gives them a license to 'clamp down' on anything thats pissing the ICT establishment off.

I doubt itll even take that. The two place I know are in the town center, I know somewhere we can go for food and I know somewhere we can go pre match, dont think either have a pool table though. Any suggestions from anybody else on here?

I still say you shouldve brought her. Do you mind changing your avatar picture? :029:

I only know 2 pubs in the whole of Dundee, which is why I was hoping DaveDargo would be coming!

Are we talking the SPL or Bakoo Alex? :029: Wyness has scored 7 goals in all competitions this year.

Or should that be a Giro of Clachers :029:

A half bottle of Clachers.

Add to that, rumors surrounding Black now. There wont be a team left I'll want to support by the end of the season. I'm a pretty stubborn ICT fan and find myself defending every bad result to all that will listen but should ANY of those three players leave for non-footballing reasons then it will become very very difficult.

Top post CaleyD, dead on in the second paragraph, what we are witnessing now could go a **** of alot deeper. Does the supporters trust have an opinion on whats going on at the moment?

Cannot be true :017: Ian Black?

Yet its yourself and Johnboy who have just posted the off topic messages :029: Unless the local press pick up on this or another poster comes up with the 20th version of the weekends events, then I think this topic has just about ran its course.
