Players to use some of their Semi-Final Bonus to fund free kids tickets for Cup Final. http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1534-2000-challenge

Hats off to the ICT board for that. Roll back to when Terry left and many fans were concerned about whether we could maintain progress. At that point we were riding high in the league and looking forward to a cup semi thanks to Terry and his backroom as well as players. Yogi's appointment was a surprise and questioned in many quarters (me included) especially when results initially went south. 18 months on and we are playing attractive passing football, in with a great chance of Euro qualification (even with faltering recent form) and looking forward to our 1st Scottish Cup final against a tricky, albeit slightly less fancied opponent ... Who'd have thunk it?! Well done everybody.

Christ......he doesn't look that old!

You buy them! I drink them, Seems fair enough!

Ooh you bitch 110 before I even met you. And all the Pittodrie ones while you were in sulk mode

The peccadillos of his pontificating personality are of no consequence to me since we are all human and different. More often than not, these can actually be quite entertaining or amusing. But what set my fuse alight was when it became very apparent that he had crossed the line by contacting the HIbs before (in one way or another) he had informed the club of his strategy or intentions. That was against the rules and if any fan thinks that is right then welcome to a "no rules" environment and chaos wrapped in the dissipation and subsequent dereliction of duty and loyalty etc.. Especially when the Management of the club had treated him fairly and squarely and rightly would have expected to have been taken into his confidence as a minimum. The flaring match that set alight my second fuse was his insults to both the Management and fans of ICT by sitting in the stand with the Hibs' management at the first game against ICT at Easter Road as if the ICT people had never been fair to him or guiven him his chance to shine in the sun.

How many have you driven to, as a matter of interest

We beat Dunfermline 3-2

Inbred

To be honest, I don't sense there is much if any ongoing bitterness over his departure. We have moved on and moved on successfully since then.

Call me biased, but for me....Yogi wins hands down for me. He steered his team to a National Final, hopefully a 3rd place finish and potentially taken the team into Europe, all with extremly limited resources

A fresh start in English football with a side that came close to league two playoffs so foundations there What standard do you think league two football would be in Scottish leagues This is a question which we often ask ourselves in reverse. The present state of Scottish Football is dreadful and getting worse as the EPL and lower leagues get richer. As far as playing standards go I think the teams at the bottom of the SPL are as poor as English League 2. We have had players from League 2 who haven't been good enough and even some from Lge 1 who weren't. The real argument is about size of club. If Scottish clubs were able to access the same sponsorship as down south, I think we would have: 2 Premiership clubs (no prizes for guessing) 3 Championship clubs (Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen) Some lge 1 clubs (Dundee Utd, poss Motherwell, Dundee, Killie) Some lge 2 clubs (Ourselves, St Mirren, County, Falkirk, St Johnstone etc) It's distorted all to hell in this country which has too many clubs. The bigot brothers are far bigger clubs than the likes of Hull, etc who get into the Premiership and get more dosh just from telly than any of them can raise. But because the two of them are there, the rest of us just wither. However you could argue we reach a higher standard playing against the OF just as they always argue that their weak league holds them back. They also argue that the likes of Chelsea are not big clubs, they're just rich clubs. What was your question again

You missed out the part about living under a bridge.

What you should look at is Butcher or Butcher and Malpas. Together at Motherwell and ICT they did a good job.Butcher on his own at Sunderland, Coventry, Sydney and Brentford was a disaster. I think you can discount his time at Hibs as the club was rotten from the top to the bottom and players were on good money but didn't care.

He joined us in Jan 2009 when we here headed for the drop. We did go down but bounced straight up in some style. We progressed in the following years and he left us in November 2013 with us sitting in 2nd spot in Scotland's top flight. So that's actually a pretty good record. Clearly we are doing well this year and the squad we have is basically players Butcher brought in. Butcher and his team seemed to have a knack of finding players who were underperforming in the lower reaches of the English game and getting the best out of them here. There is a downside to him as others have made pretty obvious. People here are bitter about the manner of his going but to be fair, that is because before he decided to jump ship to one of our richer rivals, many here thought he was fantastic and wouldn't hear a word said against him. They feel betrayed. Personally I see no reason why he can't do a good job at Newport but if he doesn't take a liking to certain players he will be ruthless in getting them out. As long as he is surround by players who are his players it'll be fine. Oh - and you might need to reinforce the dressing room doors and walls.

As they are mostly young ones Id assume for the cheap prices?

I was 37 at the time and so did I.......

Glad he is signing but feel he's worth more than a year.
