Ian Black takes the early lead in the 2008/09 Player of the Year and his consistency during the month of August also has him as the first Player of the Month for the Season.
Duff has been hot on his heels all month though and it could have gone either way going in to the Falkirk match, however despite Duff coming top on the voting for the game it wasn't quiet enough to steal it from under Blackie's nose. Still, quite an achievement for one of the younger lads to be pegging along so close to the top, especially when you keep in mind that Ian Black has had one game more in the month in which to acquire points!!!
So the slate is wiped clean and we get ready to kick things of in September with the next match being at home to St Mirren on 13th September.

{tab=How Does it Work ?} Started in season 2000/2001, the CaleyThistleOnline.com Player of the Year trophy is awarded at the end of each season to the player that supporters have voted to be the most consistent over a whole season.After every League and Cup game of the season, supporters who were at the game can vote on who performed best in that match.
Voting is open for 7 days from the final whistle of any game. This allows website users to vote for the players they think were the top 3 performers in that match. The top player is awarded 5 'match points', the 2nd gets 3 'match points' and the third gets 1 'match point'. When the voting is closed, we tally up both the quantity of votes (regardless of whether they are 5, 3 , or 1 point votes) and also the number of points awarded.
The quantity of votes a player receives in any match is counted up and the player with the highest quantity of votes at the end of each month is deemed to be the CaleyThistleOnline Player of the Month. This allows consistent performers who may get loads of 1 or 3 point votes but not too many 5 pointers to be in with a shout at being Player of the Month.
Player of the Year Points are calculated by counting up the number of points awarded to the player for each match by website users. We add up all the points for each player for each match and when they are all counted, the top 3 players in each match (highest match point totals) are awarded 5, 3, or 1 player of the year points respectively. Player of the year points are counted up over the season and the player with the highest POY points total receives the CaleyThistleOnline Player of The Year trophy at an end of season awards ceremony.
