Dont think there can be a comparisson. Back then we were new to the league set up. We were part time. Now we are playing among the big boys and its a whole different ball game. We have done exceedingly well to get where we are but the longer we are in the SPL the harder it will be. Teams at this level are constantly changing, both tactically and personell wise and to survive we have to match that.

READ IT HERE Can see CC's reasoning but I'm sure the lad will come to the fore before very long

Its a cup tie. Even if we were on top form and sitting near the top of the league I'd say that we could come to an embarassing end, as do many of the top teams each year. The only annoying thing about this tie is I cant see us making much out of the gate reciepts.

Last win was only 8 games ago. One game less than Hearts went without a win I believe.

Honest opinion..........not enough good quality players, budget not good enough to attract the better quality. Only 24 to choose from and even then 6 injured. Some even trying to play through the pain barrier to make up the numbers. And maybe there all so p!ssed of by the abuse they get, both on here and on the park, week in week out that they cant be ersed any more. Of course bad management will be the No 1 reason. Why? (1) A lot of people just want to say "I told you so". (2) Thats always the first thing people blame. Paul le Guen was the most hated person among the Ibrox faithful in his first three months. Now hes a national hero and will likely soon be awarded some doctorate from the University of football no alls.

I'll pay his wages when the lottery numbers are announced. And I'll enquire about Jackie Macnamara as well. He's wanting back to Scotland.

I actually remember when that scoreline caused a severe dose of the tongue-ties for the BBC pools reader.

If you watch premiership games you will see that, often, the winger will pass the ball down the line to the same side striker, who has gone towards the corner, then run inside and pick up the pass back and, either have a go, or pass inside to the opposite striker, who should hopefully be in a good position. Andy Gray frequently points this sort of move out when analysing a game.

It does say "injury caused in a challenge with Ian Black". Remembering back to the incident, I'm sure the ref was about to book Lasley before he realiseed the injury was a bad one. Heres hoping he makes a good recovery. Nobody wants to see players suffer in such a way.

DUFC's training facilities are a public park on the outskirts of Dundee. At least we have a fort as our backdrop, not a load o'hooses. A lot of the fans making comment against CC on this forum, although they may have dropped the Rangers / Celtic tags, still have the mentallity....if we dont win every game we're sh!te and need a new manager........grow up people and look at the real world.

I wont comment on dargos workrate or ability to score but I would say that he needs good service. To me Bayne is the more likely to score from set piece crosses into the box. Dargo needs the ball on the ground. If the midfield cant get it together and pass the ball about, creating opportunities for Dargo, but persist in lobbing high balls up the park then puting someone whos a bit bigger than Dargs on could give us the slight chance of scoring. Unfortunately, when the midfield is playing like that we cant hook them all so CC has to try and make the best of the way they are playing. If we could get our guys, from defence through to midfield, to pass the ball about on the ground we would create a lot more opportunities for Dargo to score. Sadly they tend to lose the plot too many times and any gameplan goes out the window. Perhaps we should even look at changing the formation from the start. Three up front.

Sandy, I know where your coming from but I believe things will get back on track. We're going through a goal drought at the minute. Why? God knows. The same backbone players played yesterday as have been playing since the split last season so whats gone wrong recently. As for gates and with reference to the teams you mentioned. yes their gates may be about equivalent to ours but they are all central belt based. An area with a far greater proportion of industry and commerce where companies will pay way over what we can command for sponsorship and advertising rights.

Has some unidentified being come over and sprayed a mysterious substance over the highlands. ICT play sh!te against a team playing sh!te and lose.......Ross County play sh!te against a team playing sh!te and lose.

I hope they all sat down today and watched Falkirk in action. A 38 year old smoking midget and a bunch of school bairns but by christ they know how to pass a ball along the ground.

Think we all, even the management team, accepts that something is needed but who's available at the price we can afford.

And the one point you missed Sandy...........We're only 8 points of second place.

If you have Setanta JB then................YES :015:

We dont get penalties cos we haven't got a diver like Skippy.

I'll be honest....After watching the highlights on Setanta I actually feel better. The good thing about highlights is they only show the good points. Didn't realise we had so many chances. Smile guys, the world has not ended yet.

They played well in their first two games under Levein. Fighting for their jobs perhaps. We'll see whats true there at the end of the season.

Reckon it'll be a MacDonald hotel

Bonzo, we're playing with a team of 1st div players who are doing very well in this league. We are on the same points total as this time last season and sitting seventh in the league. You were very vocal in your contempt for CC from the day he was appointed and so I think your seeing through clouded eyes. You say your 100% behind the players. Can you expand on that? After all its the players who are playing crap. They are all proffessionals and know what their job is. If I didnt do my job the way my bosses think I should I wouldnt have one.

At the end of the day you cannot blame the manager if the players dont play. We are playing more or less the same team every week and more often than not they perform very well. Today was a bad one but no fault of CC. Bonzo, your comments are totally out of order.

We have the strikers. What we need is someone who can feed them.

100% agreement with you Johnboy
