Gringo

There a few comments on 'X' regarding this post. Appears the away team/fans are treated like royalty.

Hope the result doesn't shatter their confidence.

I'm going to take some credit for this result. It was risky but it worked - I went for the draw in the NAPS competition so I knew we'd either win or lose. It was a 50/50 risk.

NPL Review for Game 26 I’m not too sure where that result came from but, boy, was it needed. A pleasant Saturday for a change. Nice one. DoofersDad got maximum points in the Correct Score section. CaleyCanary and DoofersDad got max points in the First Scorer section. caleycalum got the Crowd Section bonus – just two over. Gringo now takes over at the top of this nip and tuck table.

Rebuilding, getting rid of the deadwood and bringing in new (better) players will cost. Lots. We haven't got it. We're skint. We have to survive this season there is no doubt about that. Relegation would almost certainly mean going part time and the slide will continue. Dunc had turned around our fortunes with that 'new manager bounce' but that bounce has now gone flat. Has he got what it takes to get it back? I certainly hope so.

NPL Review for Game 25 Oh dear, oh dear..this is getting very bad indeed. Awful start to 2024. As the song goes ... things can only get better.. No maximums in any section. No Festive Bonus points either. Mrs Gringo got the Crowd Section bonus – 12 under. Scotty remains at the head of the table by a single point.

Ayr away game on Saturday is crucial (as they all are to be fair) but if we lose that....we have the Arabs [H] and Raith [A] to follow. As it stands and judging by current form, I think we're looking at three straight defeats. If we do manage to kidnap good players to come and play for Inverness CT I doubt there will be much time for them to settle in. No doubt in my mind that this is a battle for survival and not just the Championship.

We need to spend the millions we haven't got and some quality players that aren't available or don't wont to move to the Highlands for a naff contract. Ayr, Arabs and Raith next up in the league so the task is very daunting indeed. Even Broomhill might not provide any relief from the doom and gloom. The powers that be need to work some magic.

There must me more interesting things on the telly box at 3 p.m....then again...there's always YouTube I suppose. A tough away assignment indeed. After reading the reports from our last few games I am not confident we will get anything from this game. No Spoony in the team and a shot shy strike force! Has the makings of another dire outcome. Come on Big Dunc and ICT, get out of this rut you've made. Go smash and grab three points.

So we lose possession straight from the kick off. That's class.

NPL Review for Game 24 Well that seemed like a riveting performance, one that fills us all with hope for the new year!! A result that didn’t do a lot for the team or the NPL punters searching for a bonus or two. WISHING you all a Happy and Healthy 2024 No maximums in any section for this game! No festive bonus points in any of the sections where they were on offer. Scotty got the Crowd Section bonus – just 2 under. Scotty also remains top and goes into the new year six points clear.

Seconded. But I'm plummeting more than you though. So much hard luck.

NPL Review for Game 23 Cracking away point that after recent set backs. Merry Christmas lads. And a very Happy Christmas to all you NPL players and your families. Have a good one. SOS got maximum points in the Correct Score section. No points won in the First Scorer section so no double bonuses there. Jodie Carnie got the Crowd Section bonus – just 5 under.

BBC Scotland defo choose the wrong game last night. That was dire stuff. Low crowd in a large stadium also made it a tedious watch. I'm not convinced we will come away with anything from Firhill today but there's always hope. You only have to look at the result from Villa Park last night to believe anything can happen. Mon the Caley Jags.
