I thought people might find this article amusing - Scottish football website The Terrace is running a series on every SPL club's 'worst XI' from the SPL era.  I was asked to do ICT's, and set 2004, our promotion to the SPL as the cut off point.

 

I'm sure there will be disagreements with some of the picks, but I think most of them will be hard to argue with...particularly the dreaded Andy Barrowman!

And Alan Morgan just couldn't run.

Dani Sanchez

No to Proctor being in there.  Shadow player of what he could have been at the end due to lost confidence but he did well for a number of years.

 

He's not in the same league of awfulness as most of the other names in the XI, but if you are doing a full team line up then who else is there from the SPL era for that position?

 

But I'd also have to add, is there a worse "less good" player to have made over 100 appearances for us?

I agree with caleyboy. Hislopoffsideagain should be banned for creating such a negative thread.

Robert Eagle was pretty rubbish.

Dani Sanchez

Can't agree with that I thought he was a very decent player.

he couldn't stay on his feet when the pitch was dry

Interesting observation since at pre season training in Montecatini, which I watched, I noticed that Alan Morgan was among the best at the 50 metre sprints Charlie gave them!

Rory McAllister and Gary McSwegan are missing. Why???

 

Darran Thomson as well, a winger who couldnt cross, that was never going to work. 

Just as well it wasn't the most hated 11 isn't it KB!

 

 

Yeah I don't think we should go there again!

 

Jeez!

Some people on here would call the police / faint / write to their MSP / start a petition / cry (delete as appropriate) if they'd heard that drunken conversation.

I still think the Presidents 11 was one of the best ever.  That was fun.

It was before my time but I remember reading about Vetti Anderson in Steve Paterson's book. Didn't he throw a hissy fit and was never seen again?

Where's Markus Paatalainen? He was truly awful, couldn't run 20 yards without falling over.

 

Was worth a try though, saw him a few times at Cowdenbeath and he looked a player that could play at a much higher level and yes even then he had a fondness of going to ground under the lightest of challenges.

Dictators XI. Good shout. That can be for the Wymess Bay trip!

We do have some good drunken chats.  It's like the days when you could have a pub debate about something silly or pointless without someone getting their phone out to check who's right on Wikipedia!

I'm still not happy about the inclusion of LDZ and demand an investigation.

Or quickly editing Wikipedia before passing the phone over!

I know he was never an official player, but does anyone else remember that afternoon in Dingwall a few years ago when French trialist Giany Joinville turned out in an ICT shirt?  Goodness me he was bad!  One of, if not the worst players I have ever seen!

Edited February 25, 201313 yr by Renegade

He's been playing in the French 3rd or 4th division ever since, which is probably a reasonable standard to be fair.

 

Here he is for his latest club, Romorantin, scoring the winning goal in a French Cup tie against Nantes.

I agree - he should be at left back.

Swap Lionel for another left back Thierry Gathuessi, although mercifully I only saw him once as an Inverness player, that was enough.

I remember him as a lanky defender that couldnt head the ball and spoke next to no english, Munro and Fraser were constantly at him. But he set up both goals from corners. I agree, he was best left unsigned.

I see in this months ICT programme, as usual they have fans picking their all time best XI.  One of them's gone for .........Stratford!  

LDZ does not deserve to be on here, if only for the events which took place on an odd Tuesday night when we met up with Kanye West. (Saving full tale for my memoirs).
