    Yogi winning manager of the year was the worst thing to happen. He's not put a foot right since. Head's gone.
  2. Would certainly keep him on a low baseline wage with a "pay as you play" proviso to top it up.
  3. 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.
  4. 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."
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Lol red dot but no rebuttal. Typical political craic. Best to eschew this type of thread. More heat than light etc.
  8. 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
  9. Not sure how running public spending budget deficits of over £100 billion year after year can be labelled as "austerity". Seems the elections up here come down to an argument over who'll borrow and spend the most money. It certainly belies the stereotype of the miserly Scotsman.
  10. 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!"
  11. 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.

    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.

    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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 1) Appoint Pele Paterson as talent scout. 2) Appoint Craig Brewster as fitness coach. 3) ??? 4) Profit.
  17. OP makes a good point. If we put 22 players on the park chances are we'd win more than we lose.
  18. Vigurs must have one of the best goal / assist ratios per game of any midfielder in the SPL. This from a guy who joined us out of the blue with no pre-season under his belt. Get him signed up.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Beaton had a better game than most of our players.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
