No one gave ICT a chance against Celtic last October - especially when we were two goals down after half an hour.

One change here from the line up that beat Celtic that day...

                            Fraser

          Proctor McGuire Munro Hastings

         Cowie Black Duncan McBain Imrie

                      Wyness Bayne

Zibi, Vigurs, Tokely, Niculae, McAllister, Imrie

I would love to see that team on the park and i'm pretty sure that they would beat Aberdeen, what the the constant overlap and all.  I'm also pretty sure that the ref would pull us up for having an extra player on the park!  :023: :021:

I was hoping nobody would notice...  :029:

Well spotted...  :022:

Just my tuppence worth,

                      Fraser

Proctor    McGuire  Munro    Hastings

Cowie              Black            Paatelainen

                        Wyness

          Imrie              McCallister

Subs: Malkowski, Tokely, Watt, Vigurs, Hart, Niculae, Bayne   

Flat back four, with occaisonal runs from the fullbacks, Blackie in a holding role in midfield, Paatelainen & Cowie down the wings, Wyness playing just off the front two & interchangeable with Imrie.

I would pick a slightly different team, however half of our youth players are away on loan!  :tic01:

                            FRASER

PROCTOR  MCGUIRE  MUNRO  HASTINGS

                           

COWIE      BLACK    DUNCAN    PAATELINEN (sp?)

            NICULAE                  IMRIE

                                                                               

                                                                          Fraser

                             Proctor                                  Watt                                 Hastings

                                                  Black                                     Imrie

                               

                            Cowie                                    Niculae                              Wilson

                                                  Tokely                                   Wyness     

Subs: Zibi, McAllister, Vigurs, Kerr, Bayne, Munro, McBain   

Once again I truly believe that Tokely should be played as a forward.  Why, because he plays most of the game there anyway so why not just leave him there?  He seems to be a better attacker than defender anyway.                           

TCF....surely you are not being serious?!  Tokely can hardly play in defence let alone attack!  Get Rory in the starting XI

                                Fraser

   

              McGuire      Munro      Hastings

                                 

                        Proctor      Black

       

          Cowie                                    Imrie

                                Niculae

                      Wyness        Macallister

A difficult choice, I think a diamond formation in the middle might strengthen our attack because Brewsters always saying excuses like ' "We just didn't take our chances". If he plays along the lines of this, with a majority attacking team but also some good defensive qualities, lets see him blame them here. I would have Wyness in place of Niculae there but we all know that Wyness tackles like a new born duckling! And I'm not sure how everyones going to react to Proctor sitting there, but I figure he does know how to run it but if Black wants to get up the park then he can sit an move in and out of the middle of defense.

I have this week picked a team of backroom boys and fictional characters. Old fashioned 2-3-5 "Sixties" tribute formation.

Reed Richards

David Sutherland, The Thing (Ben Grimm)

Graeme Bennett, Yoda (Capt), Pie Man at the Home end.

Flash, Alan Savage, Brewster, Spiderman, Jock McDonald.

Subs. Captain America, Steve Paterson, Green Lantern, Dennis Wyness' agent and Johnny Storm.

With Yoda acting as both stopper and midfield sweeper, he has options of both Grasser and the Pie Man to distribute to Spiderman or Alan Savage running the inside channels. In addition Brewster also provides a long ball option from Ben Grimm, while Sutherland presses forward to Flash on the wing. If Aberdeen resort to a 4-3-3, as I think they might, Paterson and Johnny Storm can come on to bolster the defence.

I expect this side to win 3 - 0.

I reckon you're onto a winner there, With Yoda's experience in the middle of the park and spideys quick moves up front, 4 - 0's not unthinkable!  :021: :021: :clapping03: :clapping03:

What? You'd drop Beppo the Super-Chimp from the squad completely???  Is that due to a dispute with his agent, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny?

Black not available...?    That's bad news... :020:

It also bug@ers up everybody elses team selection for this one...

:007: Black's not available?!

ICT 0 - 7 Aberdeen

I really fail to see the point in even turning up for this one...  :007:

Why's he not available?

I thought you might know, your guess is as good as mine.

Is it a matter for more concern that Black is "Not available" for this one...?

Johnboy... it must be a concern if what you say is true - him training with the u19s?!

He wasn't booked against Kilmarnock... Unless he's picked up an injury in training, is this the beginning of Brewster forcing Black away from Inverness as well?...

Tin Can Fan, much as admire your unflagging attempts to come up with new and exciting team formations, they just aren't going to work, are they? Wilson is still at St Johnstone to my knowledge, and McAllister in midfield??????? Hang on - you are Craig Brewster in disguise, non? I claim my reward  :004:
