Fly up to Orkney and play a friendly up there. I think Ross County did something like that. Then we can all have a night out in Fusion.

Injured by Draper by all accounts.

Superb season or not for ICT I am absolutely gutted at missing out on Europe. We can have no complaints from today (aside from the glebe who told every one that Motherwell had scored) as County absolutely dominated us in the middle of the pitch both when they had the ball and when we got it. Our players were swamped by blue shirts and the intensity of the pressing from County was incredible. They were clearly up for it. Taylor and Devine in the middle just didn't work and Pepper was being completely torn apart on the County left before he went off in the first half for Nick Ross. Pepper later appeared on crutches but I'm not sure what's happened to him. As you might expect it was a incredibly tight game with the sides separated by a wonder strike by Hainault who got a loose ball ever so sweetly and lashed it back across goal and into the roof of the net. County probably had the better of the first half with ICT seldom threatening. Meekings, I think, turned a cross beyond the post but that seemed to be as close as I can remember us coming to scoring. We seemed a bit more up for it in the second half and had a fair bit of early pressure. McKay nearly scored an audacious equaliser when he turned a wayward Raven effort back towards goal but it spun wide of the post and Raven sent in a good cross that just eluded Andrew Shinnie but in truth we never really worked Gallacher to the extent we could justifiably claim we deserved a goal. From our end of the ground I couldn't see just how close County came to getting another goal but Reguero appeared to pull off a fine save with one hand to deny what looked a certain goal and Vigurs cracked a wicked free kick off the post later in the game. All in all a pretty disastrous day. If you had offered me all of what ICT have achieved this season back in July / August I would obviously have taken it with both hands but it's still a huge wrench to miss out on Europe on the last day of the league campaign especially losing to your Derby rivals in the process. I'm not sure if we'll ever get as good a chance to challenge for Europe again any time soon as you would have to imagine the likes of Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hibs etc can't be as hopeless as they have been this season but we'll see. Not really sure what to do with myself on a Saturday (or Sunday as the case may be) afternoon now...

I assume that Butcher couldn't guarantee him first team football as it will be certain that Meekings and Warren will be our first choice CB pairing. Hogg probably doesn't fancy kicking his heels on the bench every week so decides to move on.

Just sing his favourite tune from nights out in Miami? Probably Rihanna or something like that.

If you fancy something more "manly" then I'm aiming to try and recreate this video of Ajax fans by gathering like minded ICT supporters in the Rose Street car park:

So, if I'm right, the following have been released: Scott Mathieson Gavin Morrison Shane Sutherland Chris Hogg Simon King PCAs Antonio Reguero (Kilmarnock) Andrew Shinnie (Birmingham City)

Has anyone successfully renewed their ticket using the MFR site? I've had nothing but hassle with it. I either can't get onto the site, get a "runtime error" or get a message saying that the site has a redirect loop and I get nowhere.

Apparently the Man City kit man tweeted earlier basically saying that Mancini was arrogant, condescending, no lone liked him and the players were delighted he was gone. The tweet was deleted after a few minutes. EDIT: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/14/roberto-mancini-manchester-city-sacked EDIT: Former kit man.

Bear in mind that I don't think any pubs in Dingwall will be open on Sunday before the game (I think!).

Or another way to look at it is: Second in the EPL by some distance to their nearest rivals Beaten in teh FA CUp Final by a team that is going to be relegated from the EPL Fell at the group stages of the Champions League again Out in the 3rd round of the League Cup

I had a look yesterday and it said SS4. No reason why it can't have changed of course.

Row N, 118 - 120. I bought three tickets because I'm fat.

I'd like another pacey wide man, some other option up front to help out McKay or cover for him if he is injured, another GK and perhaps a midfielder to replace OTJ if he goes.

To be fair that is the link between Butcher and McCall.

Pepper would certainly give a different flavour to our attack.

If he celebrated too much then he would have gotten injured.

They've all looked hopeless against us this season and Aberdeen fans seem delighted that they are being let go. Says it all really.

If you sing gypsies at a football game you'll be trialled for war crimes in The Hague.

How good is Stuart Armstong by the way? I think he's a smashing player.

He did it out of respect for us having previously played here as a trialist.

I wonder if Dougal will ever answer my question?

I seem to recall that GMS was on trial with us for 1 week. We wanted to extend the trial by another week because we wanted to assess his fitness some more but he was offered a deal by Airdrie which he accepted. Not sure what else we could have done to be honest.

Another factually incorrect post from Dougal. What a surprise.
