Matchday Thread: ICT -V- Aberdeen
So basically, with the benefit of highlights, slo-mo, and multiple viewings, none of us can agree on either decision .... and regardless of which viewpoint you have, both sides can make convincing arguments for yellows or reds for either player !!! Who'd be a ref !!!

Matchday Thread: ICT -V- Aberdeen
I think the ref could have given yellow or red for either. Tokely's looked worse but in slo-mo you can see he actually gets the ball first and he was perhaps lucky the ref was near enough to him to see it clearly. Paton on the other hand definitely kneed Hayes as he got up, his leg was away then it was back into the midriff. The only argument you might make for yellow over red was that Hayes' leg was also coming back up and perhaps that motion 'pulled' Paton's trailing leg into him. The ref was further away and obviously saw the 'kneeing' motion and based his red on that. I note that aberdeen are appealing the red card ........

Yogi...
I always remember (fondly), Yogi getting the craic and banter with the crowd at the TCS in his early days as a manager. Being chased from the dugout by Frank Connor wielding a walking stick is a particular favourite !

Matchday Thread: ICT -V- Aberdeen
Have just been preparing the highlights for the official site and have to say well done to the ref !!! As i first watched the highlights I thought the Paton red card was harsh and the Rossco yellow was lenient. However after rewatching both incidents I have to say the ref got it 100% spot-on. Unlike the referee I was able to view the incidents frame by frame and it is quite clear that Paton stamped (or kneed) Hayes and that Rossco got the ball (and the player's ankle). either could have been a red or a yellow based on the ref having to make a split second decision, but I believe he got it right. http://community.caleythistleonline.com/uploads/miscellaneous/paton.avi http://community.caleythistleonline.com/uploads/miscellaneous/tokely.avi

Guzz Let us know if there is a shortfall .... We all know that this is not a profit making exercise (or all of us except one it would seem) so if there is a shortfall CTO will cover it as we would not want you to be out of pocket.

Yogi...
Mo Johnston is looking for a job Mr Petrie !!!! Seriously though, I pretty much agree with everything starchief said .... Hibs job too big for Yogi, Calderwood the obvious choice and is a decent manager. I have a soft spot for Yogi, he speaks his mind and he gives it his all ... but his all may just not be enough for any of the OF, Hibs/Hearts or Dundee Utd/Aberdeen who expect success and in some cases live on past glories. He would do a decent job for any of the other teams inthe SPL or SFL1 and I wish him well in finding a new one.

Estimated Payroll
MLS 'owns' player contracts in that league rather than the clubs themselves (who just pay it). The players union publishes salaries on their website twice a year. There is no equivalent in the SPL as the clubs are responsible for contracts. You are referring to JDG and Mista. JDG earns 1.7 mil per year, Mista is just under a million (pro-rated). The rest earn far less .... DeRo = 443K but the likes of Cann @ 65K, and Attakora @ 40K would be well within ICT budget. Being a supporter of both teams, as well as a former season ticket holder at ICT and current season ticket holder at BMO I would have to say that working out who was better from salaries alone is almost impossible. The leagues and the setup is far different, as is the style of play. There are several ICT players who I feel could do well in the MLS and there are a few in MLS that could do well in the SPL - look at Andy Dorman and Maurice Edu as examples. I guess we will never know until we get a TFC -V- ICT friendly

Inverness CT -V- Aberdeen – Report
Caley Thistle achieved a rare home win today with goals from Jonny Hayes and Adam Rooney. This was Caley Thistle's first ever home win in the league against Aberdeen and moves the Caley Jags into the top half of the table. Aberdeen were well beaten in the end and can have no complaints about the result which matches the only other win for Inverness over the Dons. 2nd October 2010 Tulloch Caledonian Stadium Inverness Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2 -Hayes (19), Rooney (61) TEAM: Esson, Shinnie, Munro, Tokely, Duff, Duncan (Morrison 90), Hayes (Sutherland 87), Ross, Odhiambo (McBain 90), Foran, Rooney SUBS: Tuffey, Golabek, Blumenshtein BOOKED: Tokely (73) SENT OFF: none Aberdeen 0 - TEAM: Howard, McArdle, Diamond, Considine, Ifil, Folly, Young (Paton 51), Jack, Vernon, Mackie, Magennis (Megginson 58)(Jarvis 73) SUBS: Langfield, Shaughnessy, Hansson BOOKED: Folly (36), McArdle (42) SENT OFF: Paton (67) Referee Calum Murray Attendance 6144 Davie seems to have enjoyed his day out, here are his views on the Dismal Dons. "This club can go as far as it wants" ICT 2 Aberdeen 0 If, after 2 minutes of this game, you had asked me for a report I would have said no. I was hiding under my seat, head in hands. Diamond had just buried a header from a free kick after our first important defensive intervention from Munro in 17 seconds. Followed by a corner in 40 seconds, it looked ominous. Disallowed, either through offside (didn't see) or a push on Munro (did see) that was in truth as close as Aberdeen were ever allowed to get. Our first chance fell to Rooney in 4 minutes, bringing a smart save from Howard and the pattern was set. Playing a 4-4-2, Rooney and Odhiambo won every ball played to them. Rooney, in particular won so many flicks and headers that someone was bound to profit eventually, especially given Odi's pace and Ross and Foran's support through the inside channels. Esson, meanwhile, saved well from Mackie. All of this might have resulted in a close, tense encounter but for Jonny Hayes. Runs in 10, 12 and 17 minutes took Considine apart, and there was a sublime moment where Hayes caught the ball mid flight on the far touch line, trapped it on the bounce and turned leaving Considine for dead. It was no surprise that Caley Jags took the lead in 19 minutes and even less of a surprise that it was scored by Hayes after a run that beat a couple of defenders. The fact that it was a cross mattered little, and Jonny looked suitably embarrassed in his celebrations. Another good chance from a Hayes cross was spurned when Rooney and Odi got in each other's way. Half time approached with a couple of bookings for Aberdeen, but little else of note. Half Time: Inverness CT 1, Aberdeen 0 The second half burst into life when Rooney outmuscled the hirsute Ifil and shot narrowly wide. Scoring really did look easier, Adam. Considine replied for Aberdeen with a shot that drifted wide and Aberdeen changed things with a couple of substitutions. This resulted in a wee period of pressure that was abruptly ended in 60 minutes after a decent header from Vernon. Esson saved, hoisted the ball to the opposite penalty box whereupon Zander Diamond contrived to make an absolute hash of an attempted chest back to his keeper. Rooney, who had intervened again, duly poked home the world's slowest deft wee chip. I thought it would never cross the line, Diamond hoped it wouldn't. 2-0, and the game was effectively over. The ending of the game as a contest didn't stop the controversy though. In 65 minutes, just after nearly scoring a spectacular own goal, Hayes tackled Paton, who then stamped on him. Red card. Scott Leitch was less than impressed, and got a talking to from Referee Murray for his troubles. His day went from bad to worse shortly after, when Megginson suffered a bad looking injury after a Rossco challenge that flattened him. Rossco got yellow, but in truth was lucky. Red would not have been an unwarranted result. The game could have got ugly after that, but instead it petered out, Sutherland, Morrison and McBain making fleeting but welcome appearances. It could still have been 3 apart from a last minute recovery tackle on Rooney from Ifil. Full Time: Inverness CT 2 Aberdeen 0 This was as comprehensive a win against Aberdeen as we are likely to see, and a fitting way to get the "never won against them" and the "still got to win at home" monkeys off the back. Aberdeen were, in their injury affected state, toothless and McGhee has a major task with them which he failed to address In a pretty graceless after match interview. That he was in the stand, surrounded by his grim faced Board told it's own story. Scott Leitch offered nothing and the one person who looked like a true leader for them was Hartley. Next manager? Final word, though, goes to the twelfth man. Tremendous support from all parts of the ground, and didn't TB sound chuffed. I was. If you are interested, the quote at the top was from TB in an interview on Alba at half time. It was the only bit I understood!
