Sounds like Carson will start (Source: Inverness Courier) which is a bonus :ictscarf: I know most will likely say we will likely get nothing out of this (or is it only Pie and Bovril forum where pessimistic fans are?) But I can see us either nicking a point or getting a smash and grab win :O.

I also agree with Kingsmills in that the management are under pressure and rightly so, it's unacceptable where we are (which Kingsmills said too so it's not only me) so questions need asked as to 1) wtf does he do in training to get this number of injuries, something that no other club has to contend with, 2) Why are the players not performing, it's like their trying to get the manager sacked (exactly what happened at Chelsea and Cardiff, both were poor until new manager came in at both clubs), 3) why he lies about making changes then not delivering on that threat (which is there for all fans to hear as it was in the after match interview after Arbroath game) and 4) why are players played out of position? The board need to look at the bigger picture and ask themselves, what's worse, the cost of sacking the management or the true cost of more job losses due to another relegation. And to answer an above question that was aimed at Kingsmills, I would say Paul Sheerin or David Hopkin (both unlikely I know but it answers the question). We haven't won in THREE MONTHS according to the bloke Julian Warren on Gillette Soccer special, that is truly unacceptable and that includes matches against teams we should be beating comfortably (Alloa, Arbroath and now QOS). Surely some fans on here (not thst they give a sh*t about my opinion or disgruntlement) can understand why I'm so pissed off, it's our worst run of form since Richie Foran era, and he was given way to much time, I don't want us to be regretting another manager getting far too long to get it right, only to fail drastically. Rant over

How the hell is Mr Robertson getting let off from the slack on here, he's as much to blame as the players themselves!!? It's totally unacceptable how far we've fallen, yes the players need to get their fingers out and start producing (it's as if they a) don't care or, b) are trying to get the manager sacked by not playing for him), but John picks the team and takes training and does team talks etc but nothing is working. I've said this since start of year, WE NEED a change before its to late, I know we ain't a sacking club but just now, needs must before we go down and lose more money!!

I tried to edit my original post to take out the sentence that caused out roar because, as I said, I didn't mean it phrased like that so feel free to delete the whole post or the sentence ;)? It's ridiculous how I always get targeted but I will leave it there :-P.

Are you blind or something, I posted above that it was worded wrong!! This is exactly what I mean when I say that I get bullied on here, there's no need for responses like your one especially after I explained my error!

You are indeed right about it not being mean to phrase it that way ;), i am not the type of person to be as racist, steroetypical etc,despite what a lot of you on here think!! And to Alternative Maryhill, I really don't give a **** anymore, I only post occasionally on here due to certain posters and to avoid rants from mods :P.

Yes unfortunately and I've said that a lot this season, only to be shot down!! I really don't have any idea what the f*** he does in training but it certainly can't be effective if we a) can't defend properly or b) players are ignoring him (see last week after match interview to see what I mean). I don't like calling for managers sackings lol (I've giving Townsend plenty time, even on back of poor RWC) but this time, I just can't see how we can improve under his stewardship, I really think his mental health issues are hampering us too, he should resign and let someone else in (God knows who though). I think we are going to be fine this season, probably between 5 and 7th so the bonus is, youngsters get a chance of playing (that's actually a bonus of signing nobody all month too) so the summer could be crucial in terms of getting players in if that's needed.

I certainly prefer our approach to the Dundee one. I still don't understand how the hell they could afford Cummings, Malachi Fagan, Adam or Paul McMullan when only a few years ago, they were in administration!! They could be in deep trouble if, as expected, they don't get promoted back to the Premiership.

Tomorrow is the last day so let's hope we don't get any dreaded news regarding players leaving It has happened before when Oakley left on deadline day, and it was far too late to go get a replacement.

I'm sure most of you peeps on here will have seen the after match interview from last night where the gaffer is raging at dropped points. He was raging that players were a), ignoring instructions and deciding to do what they like in matches instead of what they get taught in training etc, he also mentioned players taking the huff at being subbed or being on the bench, which he says will change so that sounds like he is planning on a) making wholesale changes for Saturday or b) dipping into the transfer market before the transfer window Slams shut. I can actually see a few players leaving in the summer and a completely new team for next season, if Robertson is in charge, which is very likely :ictscarf: Lets hope the players got an earful last night and put it right on Saturday because, if not, the calls for sackings will increase drastically.

We need a winger to replace Kai Kennedy so, with our relationship with Hearts, could we maybe get Jordan Roberts or Lewis Moore from them. Both will likely not get much game time due to Ginnelly and Walker/Haring etc plus JR has played for us before. I also saw on a fans twitter that they'd like Ralston in but do we need an RB?

Declan McDaid the latest linked on Pie and Bovril, presumably by a Dundee fan I thought he was at Ayr but I may be confusing him with another McDaid.

Let's hope this goes ahead because we haven't played in at least a month and tbh, we can't afford another game needing rearranged! I'd imagine we will have a near full squad to choose from so, here goes lol. Ridgers Duffy, Devine, Deas, Harper Doran, McGregor, Vincent, Storey Sutherland and Keatings. Subs: Cam Mackay, Brad McKay, Welsh, Allardice, Carson, Dan Mackay and Todorov.

Lots of positive messages on Jambos Kickback too I went on there on Wednesday (the day he revealed he has been struggling) to see their reaction to the news one of their heroes was struggling. In fact, one fan hopes Ann Budge and Hearts can help in some way. It's well worth going over to the forum to have a look :).

First things first, we'll done on opening up on this, most people would bottle this up and carry on suffering. I understand that you miss family, kids, grandkids etc, I don't have kids (some may say that is a good thing lol) but I do work with kids and, right now, I miss the kids at the setting so I totally get you. Finally, I've not been to kind in here sometimes and now I feel even more guilty :'(, I certainly don't want you to resign due to mental health issues. Keep fighting lad, as is the message from government(s), we will get through this together!

FFS, I only asked a question, there is no need for that ridiculous words, jesus, this forum is getting worse by the day! Ask a simple question yet get head bitten off and accused of being "thick" and, as per usual, no admin to either steer the thread back on topic or to ask for politeness!! What has everyone got against me, some new year this is, I still get the most unwelcome posts on here. :ictscarf:

Jordan Jones and George Edmundson available for loan, would they be worth loaning?

This season should show the manager that its a striker and/or the defence that needs to be the priority in the transfer market We have strikers yes, but not one of them is consistent enough to score every game. Surely Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen have young striker ls they can loan to us.

Who though :O? I wonder if there are any Centre Halfs on the loan list that we could inquire about.

Draw is tomorrow at 1915hrs, live on YouTube and Facebook Scottish Cup page. We are ball number 27 according to our official Twitter page. This round is the round before Premiership teams come in, I think apart from Dundee Utd as they are newly promoted, but don't take my word on that because I'm not sure if the newly promoted team still come in at same stage as Championship clubs. Any preferences? For me, it's Buckie but I am fairly certain it'll be Elgin as we always get them this round.

Virtually nil because Loss County are so bad that they will end bottom and adrift :P. I would prefer if we played Accies in the final IF we get there, St M,Livi, Utd (they will end midtable though) or St J would all be tough, likely to beat us too.

When is this likely to be replayed, we are in action Tuesday, Saturday so I'd say possibly a week Tuesday? Win this and we jump to 4th :ictscarf: As much as I, and the gaffer (he seems to think we should have more points) , seem to think, we are not as bad as we are only 7 off Dunfermline in 2nd so all to play for in next few months, BUT WE NEED to play a lot better than Alloa game!

Hey peeps, it's your most favourite CTO poster As it's only a week and a half until the transfer window opens, I thought I'd start a thread where we can "discuss" any transfer related news, be it rumours (where is IHE lol) or articles in the newspapers with quotes from JR on transfer news. Imho, we probably don't need much and, Tbh, I don't see much business and that goes for all clubs, not just us. I think it's imperative that we extend Kai Kennedy loan, otherwise we may be on the look out for another winger.
