He's played out of position as it is so I guess he could cover there in an emergency. Hastings will be available at weekend as his international is a midweek fixture

Please give it a rest if I wanted unfunny comedy I'd hire a Hale & Pace DVD :sillywave: Less than 2 games for us and you are already writing him off. Unbelievable. Even Rory hasn't been given such a hard time!! I haven't had the chance to see him play first hand yet but your opinion of him him seems to differ from many who have. Do you want him to fail? I imagine Scottish football would be a culture shock to anyone who has played at a higher level. You seem to be turning into areal boo boy IHE maybe you should go back to reading your tea leaves so successfully :023:

I wonder if thats anything to do with the fact he had only 2 weeks off in the summer due to playing for Canada in the gold cup :rolleyes02: FFS really it shouldn't come as any surprise he's knackered Thierry Henry basically had a season off after the world cup due to fatigue. We have no defensive cover. We have signed a defender who has basically no first team experience

I hope he does well. I was impressed the couple of times I saw him in pre season friendlies. He's with Montrose until January though and cannot be recalled

IHE has spoken Niculae must be sold now!! Bring back the laziest player in ICT history David Bingham :crazy07:

The opposition players for scoring all these goals against us :tic01:

A couple of wins and we'll be back in mid table mediocrity :022: The real problem is where these wins will come from we've now lost to 2 out of our 3 relegation rivals :rolleyes02:

The only was is up then!! :crazy07:

2 Polls is one :symbol_question: Which midfielder would actually be allowed to leave first = Morgan Which midfielder would you prefer to be allowed to leave first = McBain

Oh dear :009: Still at least we have another 45 mins to turn things around Anyone else feeling worried? :007:

Bit early to be judging Paatelainen he hasn't had many opportunities and managed to score twice last season

From Inverness Courier Online..... MARKUS Paatelainen could be set for an extended spell on the sidelines after Caley Thistle manager Charlie Christie revealed his injury is worse than first feared. The Finnish winger had received intensive physiotherapy on his Achilles ahead of last weekend's trip to Motherwell and Christie was expecting to include him in the squad for the game at Fir Park. But the injury, which Paatelainen picked up towards the end of pre-season, flared up again and following further examinations, the 24-year-old will undergo an MRI scan next week in a bid to identify the exact cause of the problem. "It's really disappointing because he worked so hard to get fit only to pick up the injury just before the start of the season," said Christie "It's hard to put a timescale on how long he'll be out for, but it could well be a lengthy period." Should Paatelainen be sidelined for a considerable amount of time then it could mean Christie putting on hold any moves to let one or possibly two of his midfielders leave the club.

Unless it's the Highland Football Academy he's talking about at Charleston Academy (IV3 6ET)???

According to the article in today's Highland News CC is saying he hasn't signed a contract extension yet!! :024:

Regardless of tactics, formations and personnel we REALLY need to get 3 points from this game Good luck lads :022:

I heard a rumour about him leaving over the weekend but didn't really believe to honest except the version I heard was the club was eager to show him the door

He doesn't look much like the picture above anymore if the piccy on the Courier website is right :023:

Says we have signed him on a season long loan on BBC website and for 6 months on P & J website :024: The offer for Kelly is still open and we are waiting to hear back from him and a similar case for the loan offer to Celtic for Cuthbert. P&J mentions a midfielder may have to leave to allow another defender to sign though

Hopefully he's fully over all his injury problems. Think it's a case of wait and see if he's any good before reserving judgement. Like previous posters have said will he even play? :024:

Will he be able to meet up with the U-21's? I heard he was injured and tht's why he wasn't in the squad on Saturday

Any ICT player getting in national squad has to be good news Perhaps playing amongst his peers is a fairer judgement of Rory's talent :024:

Cruising at 1-0 against Killie. Ref goes insane and shows a United player a ridiculous red card and they lose the game 2-1

P&J saying we have made a ?35k bid for Kelly which meets Derry's valuation of the player although the fee could rise to ?50k with add ons Not holding my breath as palyer has publicly expressed a desire to move back to north of England for family reasons and 2 other clubs are also interested :rolleyes02:

How do you get match fit if you don't play games? :014:

It's our 4th season :004: As for other comments I seem to remember us losing many games over the last couple of years with poor defending when Dods WAS in the team so there's no need to be banging on about him like he's some sort of demigod :018: Also CC please stop saying 'It's a real sore one' in your post match interviews :023:
