I played with Glasgow University for a few years as a GK under Brian Hamilton as manager (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Hamilton_(footballer) and he insisted we always had an independent GK coach. Myself and the other GK's improved dramatically with constant coaching. It's a very different position compared to defence, midfield or attack but I've never questioned why each we got specialist coaching over the rest of the team until now! The reason has to be because the handling and positioning of GK's are so specialist that we warrant a completely separate approach. Either that or were to nutty to join normal training sessions :)

A very good thread IMO, with strong and logical debate points. Raven was one of our best players before his off spell, but we have had a great run of clean sheets recently. Shinnie and Raven bombing forward created more chances, both were keen and capable at crossing after an overlap which contributed towards better attacking football. The crux is do we favour solid clean sheets over slightly stagnating attacking play or a more attack focussed shinnie/raven overlap system. Yogi, I've read, prefers a more attacking team so perhaps he will go for the latter. One thing is great about this situation - we have great options in our depth and it is a good problem to have.

To extend the metaphor i read in another thread - Its like once you split up with an ex, after seeing her with another man - you realise you have a six pack, fantastic prospects and your better off without her. Just then, you get laid after a night in hoots and she stays all weekend and ends up being your bird, your ex seems like a fat user!! I actually voted Barry for the job, but I'm team Hartley now!

Amazing news! Three years to prep for manager and see out his playing career - he is already a true ICT legend! Buzzing for Saturday!

110% no to Levein. After witnessing a Scotland side, told to stand off opponents and not press even in our own half on top of 4-6-0 i can't face that at TCS. Utter denial at his own inability tops off a definate no from me. How many other posters backing Levein had the season ticket for Scotland watching that dross. No No NO!

Marsella is worth firing money at to keep, without Steve, Terry and Mo would crumble. Their tactics are very 1 dimensional, it's the players at their disposal that has put us this far up the league.

This thread in a way is a tribute to Terry and the management team. He has been so successful that we all expect him to move at some point. It's also a testament to him that all of us would give them a new contract right now. If he stays and gets top three here or more, then the consensus might be that only a top half English Permiership club would be enough for them to go?

I left the house in plenty of time, at 1:55pm to walk to the ground for 2:30, I'll likely no take the car again. Hopefully this thread will make it to the relevant people if the traffic issue continues.

The bridge looked horrific at 2:30pm and my uncle was 15mins late to meet me at 2:30, he drove from Slackbuie via the A9.

He got rave reviews on the radio during the aberdeen game, he was mentioned as a strong contender for Scotlands left back.

The thing is no one has played poor enough to warrant being dropped imo. Same team as the usual please.

Once I bought a ticket for a rangers home game for an ex girlfriend (save me the squaff, I don't support them), I received a random text from their marketing team offering season tickets for £207. This tells me 1) they text advertise 2) this is a key time where they are on the crest of a wave and they think they can sell tickets well and 3) it's a good price! Interesting don't you think?

Forever in our shadows

Terry should show these vids to the players :) a great fans perspective!

More opportunities to get pishd, easier. Everyone loves to get pishd sometime. I predict 1000 bachelors lie in wait in inverness for something to fill the time between Friday and Saturday night. Give them a pub and some live entertaining football. Job done.

Great face from Tel there!

I want to buy that strip. I also want a cape to stuff down the neck bit and run about the place!

So there must have been a big termination fee to cut his contract short otherwise it wouldn't have made sense to keep paying his wages whilst he tapped a keyboard and warmed his couch. No other explanation really surely?

If you take away a mans hope, he has nothing. Europe was our best hope. Due to the present economic climate, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

Shinnie, Raven, Jones, Devine and Doran then I'll be happy. Good progress though.

Ritchie Foran has to be in there somewhere IMO, Jimmy Calder, Barry Wilson, Bobby Mann, Dennis Wyness.

No place for the booers. I think we might have produced more if there wasn't so much pressure on the team. Sadly we will never know if it would have made any difference. Fact is I couldn't believe that we went into the new year in second place, now we are in Feb and still there regardless. Hopefully we have had our blip and we can build on what we have!

Calm down dear

We are second with 23 out of 38 league games. It is a reality that we can finish second, thats for sure. Its all about how we approach defeat imho!

I hope Raven wasn't dropped, the guy is a massive player for us.
