Beevers signed for Mansfield Town who play in the Conference National League, the fifth tier of English football

I can understand players moving on to better their careers but for me this is no more than a sideways step. Suprised he's opted for a move east when he could have done a lot better IMO

Press conference at 5:30 tonight at Pittodrie to announce Hayes signing for Aberdeen (subject to a medical) Aberdeen website: http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20120626/jonny-hayes-_2212158_2823381 Absolutely no doubt we will miss Hayes badly, really hope Tel has an adequate replacement lined up

Cant be much worse than this surely?

thanks

Martin, a midfielder who is a product of our youth system has signed a professional contract with the club. story here: http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/529-piper-martins-reel-of-delight If its the same guy i'm thinking of, he played in the Munro/Duncan testimonial and did not look out of place against a strong County team. Always nice to see local lads get into the squad/team, hopefully he can adapt to the rigours of the SPL and become an asset to the team

Read in quite a few papers and online sources today that Hayes will complete a medical and sign for Aberdeen today. Still slightly suprised by him moving there, i reckon he could have got a much better move than that. It also makes me wonder would Inverness be a more viable option for footballers if we could get a Nandos

Couldnt agree more, we now need to rally round the club and hopefully try to offset the losses that will be incurred in the upcoming season

dont have access to SSN at the moment but numerous journalists are reporting on twitter that ICT have indeed said NO to a newco, quotes from Kenny Cameron as well so does indeed seem official

I completely agree, would love Scottish Football to follow that format, would do wonders for youth football and would greatly encourage competition (as long as TV money is more equally distributed. I havent ready the Henry McLeish report, to anyone who has, what are his recommendations on league set up out of interest?

I reckon that Croatia top with either: 1) blue main colour with red and black squares with a white collar or 2) black main colour with blue and red squares with a white collar both of them would be very smart IMO

Rumour......mixture of truth and untruth. Gossip or hearsay..........It is true that McCabe is available. Its true he's ex Rangers. Its maybe not true that he's really a Celtic fan. Its not true that he's a woman. People are chit-chatting about him and I heard that IHE heard that he's a possibility. All the traits of a good rumour in my opinion. I completely agree with your definition of rumour. So what out of IHE's original statement is true and what is false! Gi ven that he states two things, which one is true? His informers are reliable or that we are interested?

im not a bat or a cat or a rat!! leave your seismic vibrations to yourself!! i bet he does!!

rumour

I would say its a piece of information concoted entirely in your mind rather than from information from one of your 'moles' an entire forum to yourself where you can post 'rumours' to your hearts content

as i said i'm not bothered about it in the slightest. If we are interested in this player then fantastic. What i doubt is your claim that this is indeed a rumour I think its more supposition than rumour

Bothered? No. Bored - Possibly Believed by the journalist who wrote the article Even though I usually take what most journos say with a pinch of salt I am more likely to believe a journalist than a WUM (all be it a very good WUM i might add )

I'd be delighted if we had seriously approached McCabe but your 'reliably informed' stories are more often than not fishing trips so impossible to know if you are actually onto a real story or whether your on a fishing expedition. Here's my source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18560798 Care to reveal yours?

Another fishing trip? The article I read earlier indicated he wanted a move to England

Small update in todays Inverness Courier Speculation or credible i'm not sure http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/Malpas-wants-decision-from-duo.htm

Perhaps i didnt put my point across clearly Alex Scottish players can demand more because English clubs are willing to pay them that. Once a Scottish player has proven himself to be an asset for his team he will no doubt be spotted by scouts, when its comes to a straight choice between staying in Scotland on a relatively low wage or moving to England on a superior wage then its an easy choice. There is a much, much larger pool of players in England (huge competition for deals) desperate for football who are at a decent standard and would play for a wage we can offer, In Scotland the much smaller pool of players that would be good enough to play for us and be willing to play for a wage we can offer are highly sought after and often we are competing with clubs who can offer more. They type of player Butcher primarily likes to sign is a player at a small club looking for a stepping stone or a young player released by a big club looking to make his mark on the game. In Scotland there just arent enough players like this to meet his demand Basically what i'm saying is there is a much larger pool of footballers willing to play on a wage that falls between our budget than there is in Scotland
