If he goes, he goes. We will survive without him. He can't be that sh*t hot or he would have had better offers before now. He has blown hot and cold all season - sometimes rank rotten. Struggled wthout Foran to feed him. I am confident Terry & Mo have it all in hand.

i'm in for 3 - just paid. and the 'bad word person' has actually done me a wee favour cos i dontated to the site as well!! if i'd known it was that easy.... but you know me! :)

Its Johnny Djebi-Zadi

It all seems a bit childish, I had assumed it was a fan of County when I read the earlier posts but now it would seem it was an ICT fan.

What seems to have escaped this so called "Fan" is that what we do is for the benefit of the club and in trying to achieve whatever it is they think they are doing, it's not the site (or those who run it) who will suffer. I wouldn't expect this kind of petty minded silliness from any fan of the game, far less someone who claims to be "one of our own". It's unfortunate that PayPal took the stance they did, despite us having had the "rules" of the player sponsorship checked out by lawyers (yup, that's the extreme some people force us to have go to) when we were threatened on this before, but they (PayPal) were ultimately quite helpful when it came to the proposed solution...and as Scotty points out, probably did us a favour in the long run by pushing us along a more suitable way of doing things.

in hindsight, making it a subscription group is probably a better idea anyway so this person actually did us a favour in the long run

I think talk of disrespect is a bit harsh, when Rooney joined us he joined for a set period of his time for which he has been paid, after that he becomes a free agent. He is no longer an employee of ICT and therefore is under no obligation to keep anyone at the club informed of his plans, especially the fans. I think if anyone is being disrespectful it is some fans, although I understand the frustration which causes certain people to become disrespectful, who cannot seem to comprehend that Adam Rooney has served the club to the best of his ability and now has a huge decision to make with regards to his career. Good luck to Adam in his choice of future club, I'd love it to be us but if it is not thank you for the goals.

The only thing that brasses me off is Rooney said himself that this would be sorted out by end of May. We are now about to enter July and nothing has really changed. That to me is a tad disrespectful, the fact that he is stringing us along like this.

Kind of reminds me of the who Dargo re-signing saga that also seemed to go to the 11th hour. One things for sure though, big players have left this club before and a quality replacement always pops up somewhere.

As it stands at the moment if Rooney is away. We're weak up front and at centre back, not a great combination.....still 2 months to the end of the window though, so lets stay positive as there must surely be some good signings coming!

I hope it is St Mirren, but I fear that if Dunfermline are relying on Barrenman for goals, they have no chance. History shows that the promoted team nearly always stays up, but I'm not sure if the Pars really shone sufficiently in a weaker than ever Div 1 to convince me that they will do well. So they get my vote, reluctantly.

What happened, did he got lost on the way?

Reminds me of Barrowman. Keeping ICT hanging whilst trying to negotiate a deal elsewhere. Smacks of a lack of respect.

Innocent until proven guilty and all that ..... If Hearts sacked him for being charged with a crime then they might have been on a sticky wicket in terms of employment laws. However, IMHO, they should have torn up his contract the second he pled guilty. There are some crimes that are forgivable...we can all do stupid things and have a price to pay if we get caught doing them. There are also more serious crimes where you can say you are "going through a learning curve" and after accepting your punishment you will aim to be better and not do it again. However, IMHO, crimes against children do not fall into either of those categories where I would be willing to forgive and forget. Children lose their innocence all too soon these days and anyone seeking to hasten that process or to use their social standing (ie. professional footballer) in this manner is just scum, pure and simple. To their credit, most Hearts fans want rid of him too !

Pity I had hoped he'd leave. Doubt any other SPL club would have offered him a contract though

I hope Duff stays.

I am concerned that this could be reliable Duff information - Duff looks as good right back as we have had since Rosscoe was in his hay day - I never really rated Proctor as a defender in general BUT Duff could hold his own at full back and could fill gaps in midfield whilst Proctor would be more of a squad player. My opinion is that they could both do a job for us and I would hope to keep them both - unless new signings arrive in their positions or trialists prove they can provide better cover.
