matchday thread up early as I will be at tomorrow's game with a bunch of friends and unlikely to see the light of day for a while

Also that was not an intentional handball by tremarco and never a yellow card his hand/arm is in a natural position and doesn't move towards the ball. Unlike the decision against bell at the other end not only is he pushed over by the defender he is also clipped on the left leg by the goalkeeper which then sends him down never a dive. Plus the referee is to far away and looking through players to make that decision.

What do you mean by appropriate wage? Are you suggesting our players take further wage cuts for the glory of wearing an ICT shirt? Not sure its relevant as I've heard there are three clubs "enquiring," so I would expect him to leave if not in this window then the summer.

Don't think we saw enough of him to form any opinion on how capable he may or may not have been. Imagine if we'd punted Ridgers after only having seen him in action a couple of times....or Coll Donaldson for that matter? Perfectly decent fella and whilst it didn't work out for him here, I wish him all the best for the future.

The Committee of ICT Supporters Travel Club would like to say a Huge Thank You to All who faithfully supported us in 2017 . We Wish You All a Very Happy Healthy New Year and look forward to your valued continued support in 2018 .New faces always very welcome.

Austin signed an 18 month contract I believe.

Robbo has already confirmed that Elsdon is not having his loan extended.

I think he’ll get better coaching here, and here’s hoping he can recapture the form and goals that had SPL clubs scouting him. Sounds like a good punt to me.

I would agree-with our sort of limited budget, we aren't realistically be able to afford a proven striker. We need to take a chance, either on a striker stepping up from a lower level (like Iain Stewart), a young player who hasn't broken through at a bigger club (like Dennis Wyness) or a striker who has been left without a club by suffering long term injury problems (like Craig Dargo). All these routes have worked for us in the past & Nathan Austin seems like a decent prospect. He has age on his side & hopefully Robbo & the small, tight knit set up we have might get the best out of him
