Sweet dreams

Brilliant says it all !!

Scottish bitter C B ?? It was always light, heavy or special !!

Well done to Brora still carrying the flag for the Highland league.

We certainly did have a real go in the last half hour and I think if we had taken one of the chances we would possibly have taken another. Our defence was strong and unyielding throughout the game Celtic were really frustrated by the number of blocks and numbers of defenders breaking up the attacks. True they had the edge in the first half but they were the more tired of the two teams at the end of the game. We may have lost but if ( again) if we had taken some of our chances the game would have been ours. A good display ICT, we deserved a draw

Good lord IHE where did you get hold of that one......I never thought there was as large a population as that on the Black Isle, amazing the amount of women there too especially for that era. I suppose there must have been more to it than just a football match, strangely there does not appear to be many bairns there. I can see this forum going into the history books, better start seeking your royalties out now !

Renegade reply The most attractive football ever at times!!

DoofersDad my reply, Firstly no I was not at that particular match, I unfortunately, for reasons I am not prepared to divulge, am not able to attend matches very often, I do attend when possible for me to do so. You don't have to attend every match to make a realistic assessment of what is going on. I can gauge a reasonable amount of what is happening on the pitch through the media, gleaning information from others and some very useful information on this very forum. As I pointed out this team tactically is still learning, the performance levels are increasing all the time which must be attributed to the coaching being given and the receptiveness of the players. However there are bound to be fluctuations in form due to the many aspects involved in any system of play. I mentioned surpassing expectations based on the original postings of negativisms when it was first announced that John was to be the new manager, some of the comments infuriated me,clamouring for his head before he had demonstrated his worth. I am normally a fair minded person but one who hates injustice in any form and some of the comments were close to being libellous hence my defence for him at that time. It surprises me that you did not anticipate the fall in form when the change in management happened. This occurs very often under these circumstances, take Man U, or Celtic par example in recent times. It can sometimes happen that the slump comes the season after the new manager takes charge even though that manager taking over was a huge success at the time. More often than not there is a slump caused by change. You are right, I think with what you say about punching above our weight and our having a wonderful squad, yes we have a chance of accomplishing something quite fantastic this season but so have many other clubs and what we have done so far should be applauded. John's successes so far:- Keeping the squad together, The successful learning curve, Team spirit and morale. The potential to surpass the achievements of any other manager this club has had. Our current league position The way we can play football.

Well well I am glad you are all so generous with your comments on our manager's and our Team's performance. Remind me please is this Inverness C T the richest club and the highest paid squad in Europe? United Kingdom ? Scotland? I would ask you to reassess your thoughts and opinions with a little more reality in mind. Yogi has surpassed your expectations already, the Squad, which has been held together, is playing their most attractive football ever, obviously enjoying the camaraderie which has been built up and yet still learning and building successfully on the tactical side. Perfection ( which you appear to expect ) is difficult to achieve and takes a very long hard struggle and cannot be rushed, we may not even reach it, has any team ever done so? What has been done up 'till now has been excellent and deserves a bit more than some reserved comments. Fortunately our manager and players are savvy enough to know themselves about errors of judgement, taking hold of every game etc.etc. they don't have to be told by us. Come on lads given our resources, admit it, we are doing extremely well. Yogi has set his pace for progression, accept it and enjoy our Club's achievements and how they are getting there.

Another three points thank you very much

As per usual very little news on OAM about our match. Seems to be end to end stuff according to bet 365

If so C B he must be in his mid seventies !! sorry i cant confirm his surname.

Oh no you're not!!

That would be my choice too Roughi. It is great to have the squad we have with good replacements on hand like Williams and Tremarco also available.

Aye Jock I remember Jimmy, as I remember he had a slight speech impediment ? Saw him in goal once playing in a match down the Bught. I remember the moment, a bizarre but clever attempt to save a penalty, he dived to his right, left arm stretched up right arm stretched out the ball hit him full in the face and was eventually kicked clear as Jimmy sat dazed but smiling on the goal line. Didn't realise he played outfield too. Neither do I remember him as working at Riggs but I remember well Roddy Fraser who worked there, a superb defender, played for Dixons in the Welfare league in the sixties could never understand why he was never snapped up professionally. Having said that there wasn't the money to be had in the game in these days and a safe job was always in your best interests and that could have a bearing on it. Happy memories Jock at Dalneigh too, I recall a Dickie somebody who played in a band, may have been that drummer but don't remember Donnie Nelson memories of these days are hazy must have been all that tea !!!

At the moment it is all about getting a crowd into the stadium to give our lads the backing they deserve. It is a good initiative.

I do have that tendency Sneckboy but then we all have our faults
