The Mantis

He actually started against Dundee on Sat... I think Rory Loy is a better striker than any of the three we have but that's not saying much...

Not been to this cesspit for a couple of years or so. Is it still Brechins Bar then?

Cameo appearances from The Lost Boys featuring Ryan Christie? Also look forward to one of Uncle Roy's mercenaries playing Tinker Bell.

Yay!

Top Six ArenA

Interesting watching the highlights and seeing all the goals again and hearing Thompson and Stewart deconstructing all the mistakes. At the first goal Yngwie and I turned to each other and both thought Gary Warren was a bit out of position and too easily turned. Seeing it again, Vigurs makes virtually zero effort to track back. Depends what you're looking for I suppose. What most people will agree on is, we've seen ICT teams in the past biting and scraping to salvage a point in the most hopeless cases. On Saturday, and other times, e.g. Firhill and Tynecastle, everybody knew we were beaten once the first goal went in.

I would hope not

Beats me who is going to play in defence next week. We already had Draper at CH today. What's the story with Raven and McKay?

Awful. Just awful. Can't believe Gary has a contract for another 2 seasons after this.Ideally he should be hanging up his boots. Maybe kept on as a coach. He can't play at this level any more. Although I suppose we may not be at this level anyway.

Gary's been a legendary signing for us but at 32 I think he's starting to feel the pace. Too many fouls, too many cards. Josh is another one who I thought would get a big money move to the OF or the Championship in England but I feel he hasn't developed as much as it looked early on. Just to annoy Caley100, it's a bit like the Richard Hastings situation

Amidst all the doom and gloom, Tansey/Storey rumours, worst defence/shyte attack, etc etc, nobody seems to have noticed that Round 4 of the famous old tournament is drawn in about half an hour. ICT is ball 20 and ties are due to be played on 21st January.

What happened to good old fashioned boonigging then?

David Bingham is the new manager of Whitehill Welfare of the Lowland League after Steven Hislop left to become assistant manager at Linlithgow Rose of the East Superleague.

Kingsmills really takes the biscuit. I suppose with that username he should know a thing or two about baking.

Liam Hughes scored for Barrow in a 2-2 draw at Taunton then was sent off for headbutting the goalkeeper

Good combination of results keeps us top six and sends the wee team to the bottom

Saw Stuart Duff playing for Cove last week at Bonnyrigg. As ever, living up to his name. Cove fans don't like him.

... and now I see Hissy on a regular basis and I don't know if he realises it was me or if he's just a dour barsteward Half man half duck

I have to disagree... I thought he won a couple of headers but then he was given a through ball to chase against Considine or maybe Taylor and it looked like he was pulling a caravan.

I'm on my way and waiting to change trains at Perth. Wondering if I'll have to chuck some inebriated bluenose out of my reserved seat.

Is it true you're twice the man he was?

It worried me more that he felt the word needed to be censored Maybe those swirlies did more harm than we thought

Unlocked it in the hope we can move on and start an unbeaten record against the league's newest club

The only reason I knew about it at all was because I was there Jonny Addis headed in from a corner but Curtis Allen seemed to get the last touch and both clubs credit it to him. You can also see highlights on YouTube. Apologies for abandoning ICT at Hamilton but I had been planning this trip for a while and as most people agree, Hamilton is a sh!thole. Anyway, bring on The Rangers: I'll be there for that

I wonder what his Barrowman novel would be called.
