Where the gherkins was his goal v County in the 3 - 3 Cup game in Dingwall?

It's a hard sell to make. "Come and sign for ICT but realistically you won't play much unless Mckay gets injured or suspended!" Not many folk would be up for that.

Ridiculous they've been allowed to make this change with a little over two weeks before the game is played. Fans will have seen the first fixture move and assumed it was now safe to buy travel tickets, sort out accommodation etc and then they go and move the match again. I suspect that this is due to Celtic getting papped out of the CL but if this was a risk (and it clearly was an obvious one) why move the game forward to Saturday lunchtime when that risk still exists that it would need to be moved again? They should have stuck it down for Sunday and left it at that. That way no matter what happened to Celtic in the CL fans could have made their plans safe in the knowledge the fixture wouldn't be changed again. Another fuck up from the SPFL.

Another agent account on Twitter? Possibly the worst source to back something up.

Page doesn't exist. What did it say?

Balls When are these games to be played?

I was quite surprised when a number of Birmingham fans said pre match that they wouldn't be bothered if he left. Skillful but lightweight seemed to be the general theme. It would be great to have him back.

Andrew Shinnie

You never want to read too much into friendlies but the way we've played in the games I have seen gives me real cause for concern. If this was last season I would be more confident of us somehow finding a winning goal to grab a win but I just don't see where that is coming from right now. Our build up play is so slow and negative it gives opposition players plenty of time to get in behind the ball and block our route to goal. We don' have players that can glide past opponents like Andrew Shinnie and we rely on quick breaks and balls into space for players to chase. We've stopped doing that and look significantly poorer for it. I'd take a draw and be pretty happy with that at the minute. Is Draper injured / suspended by the way?

Got a problem with him No, I have no problem with him.

Danny Webber?

Can we have Andrew Shinnie back please?

Going down with some of the usual suspects from the Central Belt. Not looking forward to the 05:50 (?) train however!

Is there a way to order online and get the 10% discount that Season Ticket holders are entitled to? (or I think they are entitled to!)

They range in size from Dean McDonald - Bobby Mann.

Looks pretty rubbish. That cellophane wrapping is ghastly.

Looks very similar to the one I am wearing now.

Yeah saw that the other day. Just need the ones in September to be sorted out now. Travel is so expensive unless you get the cheap tickets so I need to know a wee bit before the games to make it worthwhile.

Didn't realise Gil Blumstein played for the fans team.

Marcotti summed up my thoughts quite well in the Sunday Herald basically saying that possession for possession's sake was fun while it lasted but now it's just another option rather than a tactical imperative. This is how I see it. Football has moved on and adapted. Germany now play an exciting mix of possession play but attack with ruthless pace when the opportunity presents itself, especially on the counter. I'm not saying we're as good as Germany but Hughes needs to have a think about what he's trying to do at ICT if we are indeed going to go down the retain the ball at all costs approach we seem to be utilising for the most part these days.

I stumbled across ex loan signing Alex MacDonald on Twitter. Aside from having rancid chat like most footballers I noticed that he's just come off a magnificent season with Burton Albion where he scored 0 goals in 41 games. #Baller

RB and up front fair enough but there's not much point spending wages on another CB when Meekings and Warren have been so consistent there and we also have the very capable Devine waiting in the wings.

Heard Og had a good game.
