May 7, 201313 yr Just tweeted that he has been released by the club. Think today is the day all the u20 guys find out if they are staying and going. Good luck to him and the others departing for the future.
May 12, 201313 yr I was doing some stalking research on Twitter earlier in the week and apparently Calum Ferguson is staying on because he signed a two year deal last year.
June 15, 201313 yr So only a few months ago, Kyle White was a highly rated youngster who we'd have a struggle to keep. Who's he signed for? Clach
June 15, 201313 yr So only a few months ago, Kyle White was a highly rated youngster who we'd have a struggle to keep. Who's he signed for? Clach From this.........http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11795/8193896/A-host-of-clubs-are-chasing-Inverness-Caledonian-Thistle-attacker-Kyle-Whyte .............to Clach It is probably unfair to make fun of this simply because none of us know the reasoning and circumstances behind his decisions. It may well be that he wants to do other things besides football and doesnt want a professional contract.
June 15, 201313 yr I wasn't attempting to make for him, just seems a bit strange that there was a host of clubs after him and numerous scouts from all over Britain watching him. Only for us to then release him and the winner of the race to sign him up is Clach!
June 15, 201313 yr If he was as good as promised then County would have signed him and groomed him to be the ready replacement for Vigurs.
June 15, 201313 yr I play in Nairn for a welfare team and I did hear that a Kyle White could potentially be banned for up to 2-years having played for one of the welfare teams in a competitive match when already signed up for Clach, despite being warned about the ban before playing. (I also heard the team he played for went on to lose)

(I also heard the team he played for went on to lose) Welfare football is welfare football. I would have thought any ban would only be applicable if he was to want to play in welfare football in the next two years. Usually it is the team who plays an ineligible player who get penalised, anyway...if he was ineligible at the time of playing in the first place. But happy to be corrected if I have it wrong.. It is really hard to work out in which Scottish Football pies the SFA have their fingers, and how they all connect together and how each league affects the one above or below them anyway. I'd have thought that until a contract with a Highland League team had been accepted by the SFA, the player could play anywhere as a trialist....but maybe not. Edited June 15, 201313 yr by Oddquine
June 16, 201313 yr ooerrrr.................from twitter:- Kyle whyte @WhyteKwhyte961 10h Someone commenting on ICT forum speaking crap bout me being banned for 2 years which is a lie ill be playing for clach July 6th see ya there
June 16, 201313 yr Maybe what was mentioned to me is rubbish. Maybe it isnt. I Can only say it came up during a discussion over insurance money and player registrations. We've no doubt all been in a place where the conversation includes other chit chat regarding the same topic - in this case player registrations and insurance. Welfare football or not, a player is registered to the sfa as playing for 1 team. You cant then also play for another team in a different league because you are already registered. For instance you cant play welfare midweek in inverness and be registered there and then also play in another team in aberdeen at weekends. Its one or the other
June 17, 201313 yr Welfare football or not, a player is registered to the sfa as playing for 1 team... Unless you are Richard Brittain. Or Uncle Roy just decides to register you. Just 'cos he wants to!

(I also heard the team he played for went on to lose) Gringo_jnr, is there any truth in the rumour that ex Caley Thistle star, Liam Keogh has pulled his boots on again and is playing for Auldearn? I can't remember where I heard the rumour but just in the off chance you've heard anything! I'm also aware that Auldearn play in the Inverness Welfare (I think) and not the Forres/Nairn league that you perform in; so I'm really clutching at straws!

June 17, 201313 yr Not heard anything about Liam Keogh playing for Auldearn. As you expected, they play in Inverness leagues and not Nairn/Forres/Elgin. Edit: if he played against Auldearn, then he would have played in the Inverness League, meaning he's probably played for another team despite being registered at another club.

June 17, 201313 yr From the SFA registration rules ..... 12.2.7 A Player may be registered on a Recreational Form for more than one Club subject always to the rules and regulations of the relevant Affiliated National Association where applicable and these Procedures. 12.3 Eligibility to Play 12.3.1 A Player who is registered upon a Recreational Form may only play for the Club(s) for which he is registered provided that to do so is not contrary to these Procedures and the rules and regulations, as appropriate of the Scottish Amateur FA, Scottish Welfare FA, Scottish Women’s FA, Scottish Youth FA and Scottish Schools FA. Used to get this a few times back in my days on the committee of the IDAFA .... we had professional or semi-pros coming back to the amateurs after retiring from HFL or SFL and that was a paperwork minefield to get them classified as an amateur again. We also had players who - quite legally - played for more than one team in different associations, and I know some associations used to also allow 'trialists' who could play up to 3 games. Not sure how it all lies now though as the IDAFA broke away from its affiliation to the SAFA years ago when the SAFA were pushing through a raft of unpopular measures, and as far as I know it is now (or was) a directly registered association with the SFA .... bottom line, cant see the player doing anything too dodgy as he would presumably have been on pro or semi-pro forms at ICT, and would then have to jump through hoops to register as an amateur to play in welfare/amateur, and then go back and sign semi-pro forms (or non-recreational I think they are called now) to play in anything from North Caledonian League or above.... and you cant just switch every few months!

It is true, Liam lives in Auldearn and pulls on the boots for them when he isn't working offshore
July 1, 201313 yr Only reason I can think for Whyte getting released is his persistent knee injury. Fully expect him to be at Nairn County next season. What persistent knee injury? He does not have one..

( the team I'm playing for at the moment) as long as the player hasn't signed anything with another junior/semi pro/professional team then he is eligible to play i believe.
