Council Juice

Well I've entered the euromillions tonight, so fingers crossed everyone, and we may, just may get a fancy new club Shop!

Can't find anything about Alex Cooper contract length other than it being a short term deals. One imagines it's long enough to cover injuries in wide areas that we currently have with Aaron and Zak.

Well evidently Kind of Blue does obviously.

Susan might just be one of those lumps with no real technical abilities but has a handy knack of knowing where to be. Perhaps Robbo has seen this.

When County win the Scottish cup and in the same season finish high enough in the league to qualify for Europe then I'll start worrying about the club shop. Everything they do is an attempt to upstage ICT based on bitterness and envy. The Noisy neighbours. On transfers, facts of relegation are plain. You have to move high earners on. Surely no one was under any illusions otherwise. This happens in every league in the world. You go down you cut costs, but attempt to bring in a fresh bunch to help fire you straight back up. I think we're one or 2 short. Maybe 3. If 2 move on we can then sort that. This is known. This has been well communicated. As to the chairman addressing fans. There's an EGM coming up. There's your opportunity. Let shareholders know. Have them be your voice.

Zschusschen is hardly young and developing, he's 25. If he's not close to the finished article by now it's unlikely he ever will be. Granted he appears to have come to first team football a little later so in terms of what you'd call a real football age he may be a couple of years behind, but not as if he's a kid. He will take time to gel to team mates and different style of football in UK though. I'd agree with the rest. My only worry is that Foran too often lamented the hunger and desire. I hope there's not a deeper issue.

Not going to read to much into this. Not even August yet, lots of new faces and against a more settled team who will undoubtedly be challenging for promotion. I take it we've signed Alex Cooper then?

Be very surprised if ourselves, Dundee United and Falkirk aren't in the mix. Likes of St Mirren, Livingston and Dunfermline could all push in though. Providing we make the play offs I'm OK.

For me, with very limited knowledge of our new players it has to be said, I'd go with a sort of 4-3-3 lining up like so - Ridgers - - Seedorf - Warren - Mackay - Calder - - Vigurs - - Polworth - Draper - - Mulraney - Baird - Oakley- Likes of Chalmers, Elsdon, Susan etc available from bench. As above, I think the best way to get Polworth playing well is to try and get him in a more central role, either in a midfield 3 or as a central attacking mid in a 4-2-3-1. It's time to give him the opportunity to make Tanseys central spot his own now.

Yeah keep our original banner below the crest. If they're so adamant about squeezing Pride of the Highlands in somewhere they could easily add the text underneath on a letterhead. Like so Pride of the Highlands

Perhaps a good idea would be to have, as you mentioned before, a cafe and shop combo but rather than just ict stuff get other local clubs, clach, Inverness city, shinty and rugby, even County, involved. Whereby merchandise is available to purchase for more than one club. There could even be a tourist desk where people could book tours, outdoor excursions etc. Maybe even a match ticket facility? This way it could be a joint venture, less risk but potential extra revenue streams for the clubs.

I think conundrum would be more suitable. I think Polly has suffered a bit from being in and out the team as well as moved around the pitch, including being played as a winger which is not his position. His perceived grumpiness I think is more a display of frustration at things not coming off for him and he's lost a bit of confidence. I've no doubt he has the ability to replace Tansey in his role. But it's up to him to take the opportunity. Robbo has a very positive attitude which I believe can help him do that. Ultimately it is down to Polly.

He's not an enigma, he's just a very naughty boy!

I've added our new striker Felitciano Zschusschen. There's been no official announcement but a) he came on as a sub v Stirling, b) he was mentioned in the post match interview albeit very briefly and c) there is a club photo of him holding the home strip with his name and number 19 so it appears to be a done deal. Contract length details will be added when known. If that means waiting for the new Football Manager then so be it.

It's a scandal!

Are there any stats on key passes, as in passes that indirectly start a move that leads to a goal or chance. Assists can sometimes only be as good as the person finishing.

Still haven't seen a scarf picture yet. Bizarre that he's already made his debut v Stirling (according to the courier) yet nothing official appears to have been announced.

That won't do. We can't announce it without a scarf.

I always remember Vigurs in his first spell with us as being so one that if he could be any more laid back he'd be asleep. Was that not part of TBs Issue? Iain has abilities that other players don't and, especially with the loss of Tansey now as well, the management need to find the best way to allow him to utilise these tools, his vision and passing range. Whilst also finding ways of masking his weaknesses. We know he's not going to cover every blade. It did seem that he appeared to find his role in the team towards the end of last season as a type of footballing quarter back. The "regista" role as mentioned above. I think Draper is well suited to play alongside that type. He is more dynamic, physical and combative. This year has to be make or break with Polworth. He can develop into a team star this season, in a central role, if he really applies himself and has a positive attitude. There's no doubt he's got ability. Anything that's holding him back now is all on the mental side. I also think that if he thrives it will be hugely beneficial to Vigurs role in the team. No pressure then.

I've not seen him with scarf yet so it's not official by any means

He's probably the best we have at spreading the ball around and finding a pass. He's got great vision. I think he'd do best as a deep lying playmaker with a defensive minded grafter and a box to box dynamic player alongside. One to do the dirty work and one to carry the ball. Just think, in time we could be calling him the Pirlo of the North. But if that's to happen Vigurs needs others to be his legs and help create space. Just as the Italian maestro had Ambrosini, Gattuso and Seedorf at Milan and Vidal, Marchisio and Pogba at Juve. Ok so maybe I'm slightly exaggerating but humour the idea rather than a literal comparison.

Ok can someone post an image of the offending headed paper with a comparison to the real crest. I'm curious.

Don't think it will be Warren personally. More likely to be Raven. Wouldn't want to lose too many more experienced heads. Robbo seems to indicate that 2 out could leave wage room for 4 in. I'd rather in that case only lose the one with room for 2 new additions. All these new additions are a fairly unknown quality. Next season will certainly be interesting.

Joe Chalmers - 2 year deal. Previously at Motherwell

You'd think all the vouchers would have unique serial numbers so that the details could be taken over the phone or something. Then relinquish the corresponding voucher at the gate when collecting match ticket on match day. One day we will have the technology. One day.
