It was rumoured before, but I can easily see Ridgers joining County now.
Great. Another downside to this nonsense.

There's a massive change in the circumstances at play here for Caley now. On the way up, many years ago, Caley were finically backed, housing was easier to get and they could swallow these extra costs. Also there was momentum in their push up the leagues made them more attractive club to sign for (especially over us).
That's all gone now, and the challenges they face are harder due to their current financial status and recent issues.
It's been mentioned here and on other forums that Inverness, as a City, doesn't deserve a football team due to the (at times) lacklustre support they get...I think now it's very difficult to argue that the current board/club deserves any backing from the City every again.
Caley are still backed though. Their 27 English based loanees aren’t playing for free.

Not sure that’s a thing.

Any idea how many there are signed for next season? I immediately thought there surely aren’t any
No idea. The impression I have had is that Ross Jack works with all the “local lads” whereas Ferguson spends two hours a day with the first team, another two hours in the gym and the rest of the time as far away from Inverness as possible.
My guess is that before long Ross Jack is the manager and ICT are fielding a side full of local young players.

This is a club who has a director willing to pay Big Dunc £5k a week btw and we are howling and moaning in floods of tears because we won’t give players an extra few hundred a week.
We are a joke of a club.
I don’t see any way back for Gardner from this.

What if you are a Caley player, signed for next season, with a house in Inverness?
County will take em if they are any good. Which they aren’t. So Elgin will.

Robbo when manager mentioned that getting players to move young family up here was impossible but this seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I've no idea what they have tried and presummably failed to do before that it has come to this.
County have the same issue but overcome it by offering an extra 10% and playing very soft when it comes to transfers.
There’s absolutely no reason you can’t get players to move here.

This has Gardiners brown broagy tassled cunty footprints all fucking over it
It really does.
A few weeks ago, we took one of our residents to watch Ross County train. This is a guy in his 80s who had supported the team all his life. The manager and the players came over to speak to him and he had a whale of a time. Inverness are losing part of their identity by doing this. They’re also handing the keys to the Highland Academy over to County officially.
This absolutely has the hallmarks of the weirdo CEO who seems utterly removed from the community.

Can someone rename this the Raith Rovers Best Practice in Catering Thread?

It's taken until the very end of the season, but we are finally at the point where Cowie is just about picking what I would say is the strongest XI in the squad. Sims over White, or Brophy IF he was on it. If Allardice was fit then he'd be in midfield.
I have no idea why he prefers Efete to Brown at right back. Unless there’s been an injury. I can understand Adams being Adams and just picking him anyway to make some kind of point, but he’s just not as good in any sense as Brown.

To turn this around you'll need to be at a level above what you've played this season and then hope County really have an off day. It's not impossible but it is going to be very very hard for you. It would've been the same if it was Saints you were playing as well, these sides are better than Dundee United and there is a gap in quality, it may not look it when getting pumped on TV by Celtic or The Rangers but it's there.
We’ve had plenty of off days, to be fair! I’d also say Raith didn’t seem to have any notion of Dhanda’s ability and really let him run things. They won’t make that mistake again, but they might leave Murray or Sims if he starts free.
Big gap in quality, as you’d expect. Stranger things have happened, but a County goal probably kills off Raith.

I might be wrong but I think if Cowie had been gaffer all season County be nowhere near it at bottom.
They actually look like a no bad side and I don’t mean just from watching them last night but in the Premiership too.
They were miles above Raith for most of the game with Danda looking like an absolute class act… Raith should’ve ended up with the game a draw however so all to play for but got to fancy County to get through now.
Malky was an abomination, Adams destroyed the team spirit for some reason, and Cowie was left to pick up the pieces. More than happy for him to get the gig, whatever Sunday’s result is. Which is just as well, because I believe that’s what will happen.

Luis Arraez with his eighth multi-hit game on the bounce.
He's been absolutely phenomenal since the trade, and exactly what the top of the Pads order needed.
Bogaerts out for 2-3 months. Sucks for the player, but as a fan I can't say I'm bothered. His spot in the order has been a black hole all season so far, and his D is nothing that isn't replaceable either. If it means more DH'ing for Solano and Peralta, then I think it's actually a good thing.
I love these OBP machines. Lamont Wade Jr is another one. Every time you look up they’re on first base.

Thought that was, inevitable late goal side, remarkably professional by County. By f**k are we going to miss Yan Dhanda though. A fabulous player to watch.
Raith’s goal might mean a bit more space on Sunday, and I might start Sims or Brophy over White. Still feel the Raith keeper looks ropey and Baldwin’s goal did nothing to convince me otherwise.
TLDR: get the ball to Dhanda and f**k the Killie haters.

I’m all in favour of oddball squad numbers as well, but I’m quite happy to to admit I’m in a tiny minority.
As for the squad, going by those quotes it sounds like it’ll be a keeper and a centre back that drop out, rather than Doak.

Final tonight. Reckon Chris has got this in the bag.
Yup. From the highlights it looks like Louise has yet another meltdown.

You can probably guess 80% of them.

It’d be a Carl Tremarco type move that, with one eye on the coaching team.

Carl Tremarco seems like a decent coach. I don’t really have a problem with Cowie and him getting the gig, but I’d assume a more experienced assistant will come in. Fair to say Cowie will get the job full time whatever division we’re in. Oddly, the atmosphere around the club seems excellent.

It’ll be missed among all the woe-betide-me but that was an absolutely sensational finish by Simon Murray.

Can we do it so the winner gets a place in the premiership and the losers get to keep Kyle Turner?
Suspect that’s the way it’ll play out.

I’m not sure this issue with Brophy is fitness, per se.
