Where Now?
How to prevent future injury crises? Beetroot juice, ice massages and a "nordbord" machine. (Assuming the cryotherapy ice chamber is out of our price range!) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36189778

Inverness CT -V- Kilmarnock
Question for the stattos, was our third a new club record for the most successful passes in the build-up to a goal? Surely it must be. Got to grasp the positives in times like these! Great team goal. Hopefully the caley jags TV highlights show the move in it's entirety. Looking forward to the reactions of our enthusiastic in house commentator. "Amazeeen passeeen!"

Inverness CT -V- Kilmarnock
Pretty lucky today. Killie looked the more likely winners up until Balatonis moment of madness. The team are probably due some luck though after some of the muggings they've been on the end of this season. Hard to fathom how a team as good as Killie looked today can find themselves in such a precarious position. I reckon they'll absolutely hammer Hibs in the playoffs. Just goes to show what an awful manager Gary Locke is. Hope he never darkens our door. Vigurs MOTM for me. He's always had the talent, but to see his work rate, organization and leadership on the park today shows how much he's matured. Hope he's signed up soon. Tremarcos energy down the left is becoming a big asset to us. Great seeing Tansey ping long diaganols for him to run onto. His first touch is class. All that's missing is the finish / final ball when he reaches the last phase. If he can improve there he'll be one of the best left backs in this league. These 2 lads show you don't always need new signings to improve a position. Sometimes players grow into a role if you give them a chance.

David Raven
It's nice to see everyone coming together to stand up for one of our most universally liked players. He's never let us down and represents our club well on and off the pitch. A warm, welcoming, happy, familial workplace environment makes a huge difference to any professional, and has been a hallmark of our success over the years. It's almost part of our clubs identity. If managment start treating our players like garbage, as in this case, all of that will unravel. Brewsters aloofness and callous man managment was his undoing. Sadly Yogi looks like following in his footsteps.

David Raven
Raven is not just a solid, composed, experienced, reliable defender. He's also good going forward and involved in a high percentage of our goals in recent years. Abysmal decision if true. Hopefully Yogi is amenable to reconsider. Still time to rectify this.

Inverness CT -V- Hearts
Can't believe what I'm reading here. Solid performance, clean sheet and a good point against a high flying Hearts. Every player put in a shift. Vigurs and Tremarco standouts for me. I think people are starting to carry over negativity from previous outings. Last night we did pretty well imo.

Celtic's Scottish Cup handball goal ... sshh!
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-boss-ronny-deila-hope-7726734#ySaXVOAI3Pw8E7Cp.99 What an absolute tube Ronny Delia is. Craig Gordons red card in the semi last season was unjustified apparently. Lol.

You're the manager, what do you do?
1) Appoint Pele Paterson as talent scout. 2) Appoint Craig Brewster as fitness coach. 3) ??? 4) Profit.

Season 16-17 and beyond
OP makes a good point. If we put 22 players on the park chances are we'd win more than we lose.

HEARTS GAME OFF
Lol, what a joke our governing body is. This will open a can of worms. Idf clubs can simply produce the old "Doctors line" to get fixtures postponed in inauspicious circumstances you're creating a system ripe for potential abuse in future.

Inverness CT -V- Motherwell
You can only use the "smash and grab" excuse so many times. Why is it that we're on the end of so many muggings at home this season? It's exactly the same script time and again. Eventually you have to admit it can't just be bad luck. Tactically we're a soft touch. We play like sand dancers for 90 minutes, knocking the ball around our own half like a low intensity training drill while our opponents hit fast and hard on the break. We need to get the likes of Story and Mutombo on the ball in and around the box as often as possible. Our current strategy has Danny Devine in possession more than our whole forward line put together.

Referees Today and Tuesday
Beaton had a better game than most of our players.

Inverness CT -V- Motherwell
The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. The tactics and substitutions today were absolutely shocking. Starting to fear that Yogi is becoming more of a hindrance than a help to the players.

Contracts
One of the hallmarks of our club over the years has been patience. How often have players been prematurely punted by other clubs only to flourish in Inverness? Lest we forget the mediocrity of the likes of Billy Mckay, Graeme Shinnie or Barry Robson in their debut seasons for us. Give these new guys a chance. Players come into their own when they're settled, happy and feeling at home.

Contract Situation
Another 2 quality players leaving for nothing. This has been our Achilles heal. The lackadaisical attitude towards securing our best players is criminal. Its probably cost the club literally millions of pounds over the years. Ryan Christie being the most egregious example.

IF we needed a new manager.....
I still dream of a Pele second coming, even if only on a short term interim basis. The free flowing attacking football would be the perfect antidote to our current woes, get the best out of our currently stifled, overdrilled underperformers, and bring the crowds back.

League Cup Final
The result was daylight robbery, but the County fans probably deserve a Cup by now, so we'll let them off.

Inverness CT -V- Hamilton
Think some of the comments are harsh to say the least. Form has been poor as of late but the lads did not deserve to lose today. When you see the way we absolutely battered Hamilton in the last half hour, it reminds everyone what we're capable of. The trouble is, it takes going behind for us to get out of second gear. We need to eschew the ineffective, self-defeating possession game for fixtures like this and adapt the direct, aggressive, assertive approach that we saw in the final 20 minutes. Horses for courses.
