Anyone planning the Forres game tomorrow night? Quite looking forward to seeing if there's more fluidity amongst the players, and a good goal fest before Scumdee on Saturday 

Will take that, but sounds like we had to really work for it and given we now have at least 2 renowned strikers it's a little disappointing that it was down to our already well established MF and DF to win the game for us. From what I heard boden was poor, it's early in the season yet but if we are to hit the ground running in the league we need to get it improved and find that target more often

When his contract ends next summer a glorious reunion with the Scottish Cup Winners 2016/17 awaits.

.... And Betfred 2016/2017 champions too, smugly taking the cup back across the Kessock bridge 

When I first heard the King Billy reference yesterday right away I figured it was Mr Mckay. It's a good signing but there's always that niggling certainty that he will get snapped up by Aberdeen next season.... Just because they can really! Here's hoping though that this other signing Richie suggested will excite fans is still to come, King is an exciting prospect but only in the short term 

What was the special  treat? I couldn't be there as I'm training down south this week! 

Here's hoping too that after tomorrow he'll have another 30k to add to the Fonners bonus

Good luck Richie. At least we have a manager who is happy and settled with life in the highlands, so wont be looking to jump ship to the first decent job that becomes available in the central belt

Quite sobering to see eleven heading out the door and only one in so far.  There was several occasions last season where we had only three or four subs.  If we don't bolster the squad and experience similar injury woes we could be in dire straits.

Quite disappointed to see Mutombu and Roberts departing.  Mutombu was obviously a bit hit and miss but thought he offered something.  Robert' goal at Motherwell one of the highlights of a rather anti-climactic season.

Ymip Jr has just called me to suggest we're after Higginbotham.  I'd personally be delighted if that was true and likewise the Ojamaa rumours.

 

Higginbotham would be a great shout! Got to say, I know it looks on the face of it rather concerning that so many out and so little in, but I firmly believe that this could be Forans big plan to clear out the "ifs and maybes" and pave the way for the budget he needs to bring in who he firmly believes will make his team. I for one would much rather wait and put faith in Foran for that, than simply retaining the services of a few "hit and misses"

Looking forward to seeing the fixture list tomorrow morning, who's all hoping for what as first fixture of the season? 

I don't understand this statement though, how come there was no official word on Mutumbo and Williams before this. I for one wont miss Devine, but I did think Mutumbo was worth holding onto. Bit concerned at the current list of Departures and Arrivals

We've apparently signed striker Scott Boden, no further information other than whats in the tweet from the journo below:

 

Sounds like a good buy, just what we need.

You mean players at English League 1 clubs, rarely first choice for their host club, constantly on loan, scoring  a mere handful of goals for any side he plays for...I am sure there are, but that takes a hell of a scouting system. 13 out of his 24 goals came for us in one season, so spotting his potential was a big plus for Yogi.

It also shows how much of a gamble it is

Apparently Yogi was not responsible for finding Storey, it was all Kc's doing... So he can't take any credit for that either

All managers have different opinions and it doesn't mean he was a bad player just because Yogi didn't play him.

Yeah, strange though that HE signed him yet continually played Hughes even though he was utterly hopeless 

Yeh I mind watching the warm ups, and during the lay off and shoot exercise with Kellacher Ryan Williams scored all 4 of his shots with great movement power and accuracy, and Storey missed all 4 of his. At that point I was baffled as to why Ryan wasnt getting more of a chance on the field 

Looks like Ryan Williams set to be offered a new contract. I personally have always thought he looked like a quick and potentially good addition to the team but for whatever reason yogi would never play him. Worth keeping?

Absolutely, the fact that Yogi lived up in Rosemarkie and his family stayed in Edinburgh, was unsustainable for a start, it was never going to create a good work life balance for anyone

Edit: Just happened to notice that online, I'm new to the board by the way, been trying for ages to sign up to this forum but for some reason just never could get it to work....so yeh, Hi :)
