  1. Don't see what all the moaning is about. This will be a cracking tournament.
  2. Roberts definitely showed flashes of potential. Think his release is probably down to injury concerns, or possibly attitude rather than ability. Players should be judged for their net contribution over an entire season. Sadly Roberts impressive snowing were few and far between. We need value for money.
  3. I'd like to think our club takes players character and work rate into account when judging prospective signings. Riordan fails on both counts, even in the remote chance he managed to get back to SPL level fitness, you'd still be adding a bad apple to the dressing room. Who wants to work with a ned?

    Why would anyone in their right mind move to Rotherham?
  5. There are moments where Mutumbo looks like he should be playing at a much higher level, and others where he looks totally off the pace. Definitely a player in there. Would be interesting to see how he shapes up after a full pre season and run of games.
  6. Only if he gets a haircut.
  7. The scenes of carnage yesterday were cunningly edited by the media as part of their ongoing anti-Rangers conspiracy IMO.

    Not a single fan I've spoken to today is sad to see him go FWIW
  9. World take Butcher back in an instant. He has his detractors, but given time the man knows how to build a team on a budget. Most of the current squad are still his players. No awkward transition phase required.

    Shrewd move from the board IMO. Our success in recent years is entirely down to the talent and hard work of our players. The best group we've ever had. Even Craig Brewster would have struggled to feck things up with such quality at his disposal. I have faith in the players. If they aren't happy, as indications suggest, there's no contest. The manager has to go.
  11. Yogis "best friend" also said we played "no football" before Yogi arrived, and apparently he now has us playing "total football". If these views reflect those of Yogi himself, then the man is an absolute tool.
  12. Can't say I'm brimming with enthusiasm for the season to come.
  13. Loved the anecdote about Robsons boyish enthusiasm in Peles autobiography. "Boss are we playing 5 a sides at the end of training today? Please boss!"
  14. Think we actually did County a favour with that last one.
  15. He seemed to play particularly well against the Dons, but struggled to make the same impact against lesser teams. I suspect this signing is as much an attempt to weaken a tough opponent as it is to bolster them. Can see him spending alot of time on the bench.
  16. I think the players may have had something to do with it.

    If he is to be released the least the club could do would be to organize a testimonial against Liverpool, or even a Liverpool "legends" team with Dave playing a half for each side. Plenty of ex teammates would be eager to take part I'm sure.

    Yogi winning manager of the year was the worst thing to happen. He's not put a foot right since. Head's gone.
  19. Would certainly keep him on a low baseline wage with a "pay as you play" proviso to top it up.
  20. You should be free to express any opinion you want about the Queen or Religion in a free country without fear of imprisonment. No exceptions. Football Clubs as private institutions should be able to set house rules and kick you out for breaking them. But the Police and Courts should have absolutely nothing to do with it.
  21. Since the result has been declared null and void, we now have a situation where Inverness will finish the season having played one less fixture than everyone else. With potential swings of hundreds of thousands of pounds at stake for final positions, the SPFL thinks this disparity isn't a problem? Give me a break. There's no way such an anomaly would be so callously dismissed if it were affecting an Old Firm club challenging for the title. A case of, "It's that lot up there, f""" them."
  22. Crooked decision. They've ruled that the result is void, but we get no recompense for being cheated? It's almost like our club don't exist. Enough is enough. If there was ever a time for legal action this is it.
  23. The board are quite right to apply a modicum of pressure on the manager when results are sub par. Yogi has been taking a leaf out of the CC10 playbook with his expectation lowering, standard reducing, club downtalking shtick every time he loses. He's trying to move the goalposts on what constitutes success and failure to make it look like he's doing a great job at a mickey mouse club. The board are rightly pushing back against this narrative.
