Ryan Fraser has just turned 18,Andrew Shinnie is 23 surely 5 years extra development is enough? Age has nothing to do with it. This is Shinnies first season where he has been a "real" regular in a team much like Fraser. Indeed, moving from ICT to Aberdeen isn't much of a step up compared to Aberdeen to Bournemouth.

No doubt Brown will openly admit that Shinniesta would be making a mistake by moving to Aberdeen and he should stay at ICT to develop more as a player like he was recently doing with Ryan Fraser.

If that is true then that is pathetic. Not on the part of the club or people who are going but the saddos who would rather sit in the pub on a Saturday afternoon and "watch" Celtic or The Rangers on the Soccer Saturday vidiprinter. Inverness doesn't deserve ICT.

I hear that Mark McCulloch is a strong transfer target as well.

According to the P & J Shinniesta has said he simply needs more time to decide. http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/3089520/

Prox Free. There's a link in my earlier post on this thread.

Ryan Esson.

Highlights on You Tube: Put them into http://www.proxfree.com/ and you can have a wee look at us demolishing the Dons.

BBC website reporting it as 4734. Much improved! Aberdeen probably brought 1,700 so if anything it was still the same from an ICT point of view i.e. very poor.

What was this applause for?

Andy Webster was rumoured to be off to an English Championship team the other week. For some reason I think it was Wolves but I don't know if that's right.

Charlie Allan will be sobbing into his donoughts

Hopefully Graeme beats him up if he does leave.

He's maybe just too busy abusing his brother on Twitter to sign the deal. I'm trying to be optimistic here.

I for one can't wait to hear the Aberdeen fans crying about poor wee Ryan getting battered on the pitch. They gurn every time he goes to ground. He does get fouled a lot but that's what happens when you are a quick and tricky player like he is. The way Aberdeen fans react you would think he is getting kicked in the goolies every time and then someone lands a Peoples Elbow on him to finish the lad off.

I'm not disputing how much of a creep Barton is.

To be fair to Barton, who is a cretin, I don't see how you can admire a drunk driver who had a gambling problem. I think the operative word here is "had." Didi was a fantastic professional who had some problems once his playing career was coming to an end, problems which he has now overcome. We all make mistakes - like ajs i have a massive amount of respect for Hamann. Yeah we all make mistakes like pissing away £200,000 in a day or getting smashed before trying to drive home. That's fair enough if you can look past things like that that's your prerogative. I can't admire people like that.

Yeah, I don't think that's likely.

Play in the pocket!? He's not a quarterback!

It's no Aaron Doran v Johnny Hayes.

I feel quite confident about this one so we'll probably lose. Anyone else heading down from Aberdeen or along that route?

Damn. I thought he was a player / coach and still turned out for them.

Contemplating going to see Keith v Forres but Formartine v Forth William is more appealing because it's closer and also because Bobby Mann might play.

These are fantastic. I see that Caley D has helped Jamie get in touch with the club and I hope they can work something out. They could add these caricatures to a sponsorship package that gets sent out to people who sponsor a player perhaps? Well done Jamie!
