Christie laments dire display

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Charlie Christie thought his side's display in the 1-0 defeat at Hearts was their worst of the year.
The Highlanders had lost only one of their six games in 2007 before the visit to Tynecastle, and Christie was disappointed with the paucity of his side's performance.
He said: "It's a very hard venue to come to, arguably the third hardest in the league, but I genuinely felt the way we've been playing we had a chance to come here and not just draw but win.
"That was the most disappointing we've played in 2007, but if we play one bad game in seven throughout the season, I'll settle for that.
"We can play better than that. If we have seven or eight of our players at the top of our game, we're a match for anybody and I truly believe that now.
"But to me that was the Caley Thistle of old in the SPL, where we were more content to lump the ball and be ultra-safe rather than passing it and we're better than that now and have gone beyond that."
