  1. If my calculations are correct today was Charlie Christie's 25th league game in charge of the team, including his spell as caretaker when Brew left, and in that time we have won 11 drawn 8 and lost 6. We've also amassed 37 goals in these games.  Personally I think that is a very good record of Charlies ability to manage this team given the resources he has available.

  2. I think, HC, we may find that Blackie is sidelined for a while as punishment for his needless fouling. According to CC the ref told Barry, at half time, that Blackie would be sent of if he committed one more foul. CC is a bit p1ssed of my the lads discipline, hence the reason he was pulled. Good for Richie Hart though cos it shows us and CC that he is coming good again. I reckon he'll start next week

  3. Just back from the game and a fair result. Niether team created many chances. The downside for me though was the atrocious Mike McCurry. He hasn't a clue. Didn't allow the game to flow and blew for the sake of hearing his own whistle. I didn't think anyone deserved yellow's.

    As for the squad, its very difficult to single out any one player. They all played ok but there just didn't seem to be a winning instinct about them. Dargo's miss wasn't as bad as some may think. Though it was only a few feet out, to be fair, he, like the rest of us, thought the keeper had a comfortable hold of the ball. When it was dropped Dargs was turning away from goal and was taken by surprise. Marks save in the dying seconds was excellent.

  4. I  think this thread can be interpretated as a resounding vote of confidence for our Head Coach Charlie Christie and the person who had the audacity to even think about asking the question should hang his head in shame.

  5. I've met Kev a few times and he is a harmless lad. Bit stupid with a drink, and I mean that in a nice way. I seen him being removed just after Harry but didn't see why, other than his protests. He may have made a gesture as he was being led out but it wasn't anything that the away fans weren't doing as well. I hope he gets on ok in court and am saddened that the banning order has been imposed for something so trivial when nothing is done about the sectarian bile we are all subjected to from time to time.

    Kev is a passionate supporter of this club. Just a pity there weren't a lot more like him.

  6. jagster, you say 'outwith DP'. Bear in mind DP began his professional career in Inverness. As for CC not being animated enough. Why should he dance around the tech area. Some of the great managers dont shout and bawl at their players during a game. Le Guen spends most of the time sitting in the dugout. Mourhinno doesnt show much emotion, nor does Wenger. They watch and weigh up whats going on. They treat their players with respect, not abuse them. Would any of the people posting here like it if their boss at work was bawling them out all the time. I think not. Players know, when they leave the tunnel, what their role is and should be carrying out that role. Trouble is they seem to be frightened to perform as we all know they can.

  7. I think, for once, that Bonzo makes some sense in what he say's but there is one or two facts he has omitted. Donald Park, Assistant HEAD Coach. High profile player and coach. Surely he has the contacts and ability to bring players north, if indeed there are any available. He and Charlie work together, have equal standing at the club so should he not be taking some of the flack that is being meted out here.

    This team, under CC and DP, does play very well away from home so what is the problem at home. I dont really think its a management, or tactical, thing. I think its phsycological and would like to see the club bring in someone with the expertise to tackle this problem.

    Maybe we need to totally rethink our home tactics. Maybe a change of formation 3-4-3 perhaps. I would try

                                                          Brown

                                                Tokely Munro Hastings

                                            Wilson Hart McBain Morgan

                                                        McAllister

                                            Dargo                Bayne

    Use the width of the pitch all the way forward with MacAllister running through the middle to pick up the crosses. But then I'm not a football tactician.
