I would happily put Warren in the same league as Dods. For a long time people said we had never properly replaced Dods but i would say Warren is as close as we have ever got. He settled into the defence almost instantly. He is clearly a team leader, he's been one of our most consistent players this season too. Definitely got the ability to be captain.

Warren has more goals than all of County's strikers this season. Fun fact for the day.

Rory McAllister and Gary McSwegan are missing. Why??? Darran Thomson as well, a winger who couldnt cross, that was never going to work.

Oh dear we may drop to 3rd between now and the end of the season. The panic button needs hammered!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You high?

Like many dissapointed not to have taken a result today. For large chunks of the game we dominated posession but just couldnt turn into goals, Celtic on the other hand were clinical with their chances, apart from picking the ball out of his net Esson didnt really have a great deal to do. Foran was missed today. Aerially, defensively and as a team leader. Doran and Raven got some great crosses into the area but there was no one at the back post and they were easily dealt with, same problem with set pieces. Cant help but think McGeouch would have been marked tighter by Foran as well, he was given too much time on the ball and i think just as an overall presence on the pitch he was missed. There were some positives from the game. Thought Doran was acceptional and he certainly gave his best as did both Shinnies (even though Andy was about 30% fit) and Nick Ross who im glad to see back. Took his goal well and showed one or two moments of promise. Back to back defeats is a bit of a concern but we havent looked bad in the games we have played. Just need to get back to our clinical ways. Hopefully starting next Wednesday. Also agree with the criticism on Thomson. Some of his decisions were baffling today. Blatant bookings ignored, penalty shouts ignored and stopping play for Beram Kayal was ridiculous. There was nothing wrong with him.

The few times Foran has played centre forward he has looked really good in that area, would allow us to give the likes of Pepper or Ross more of a run out. Dosent speak for much just now though given that Foran is injured.

He's like an ICT version of Salamon Kalou.

Someone once described me as a Stat Head on the forum...you can see why

Damn. I should read more slowly ... Raven, Esson and Draper were ex Shrewsbury. Still proud of the first answer haha

Steve Hislop, Dean McDonald and David Graham - all played for Gillingham.

Trust Lionel to be the last one, that was a fun wee game.

Aldred for Workington? Think Gathuessi played for Montpellier.

petulant, arrogant, showboater who cries when his team concedes last minute goals...

Xausa played for Dordrecht, Zibi played for Feynoord, Bulvitis played for Tranzit, Hogg played for Boston, Irish gremlin a Pittodrie played for Forest Green.

lukemackay will want to see this...i believe he has a little wager with the gremlin

He's 23 now, i cant help but think he will be off permanently sooner rather than later. He's getting to that stage where he needs to be an established regular in a team.

Taylor will be a free agent at the end of the season, can see us going for him then. Any new signings we get this season will be loans.

Shambolic, means now we are only 23 points off Dundee, we are staring relegation in the face.

Bear in mind though that the SFA don't have access to the disciplinary records of other countries. They would have to ask the FA and wait for a response, assuming the FA are obliged to respond to such a request at all. Then i hope the FA can put this to bed for everyone.

According to BBC he wasn't on the bench. I checked Liverpool's fixtures before the arsenal game and they had European games. Danny Wilson was on the bench on the home tie. Does European games not count as their rule about serving it in any competition. There was never anything to say he was suspended for the game though. Your right about the Euro games though. If thats the case then he had already participated in official games. Defiantly. All ICT need to do see the relevant documents to say yes he served it. Nothing of the such has been given. End of the day, this isn't a personal vendetta on Hearts cause we lost the game. It's just ICT trying to defend itself from being cheated. The way Hearts are run in general is a joke. They fail to pay players yet they are allowed to dish out fresh contracts to new signings (even if their loans). Its ridiculous. We have every right to fight this. The SFA can say all they want but unless they can provide any kind of written evidence to suggest he was actually suspended for a game as opposed to simply not being picked then this case is still wide open. The fact they dont have accurate details to suggest when and who it was served against makes me think they dont have what they need.

Have we checked he is eligible to play?

There has been no evidence to suggest this ban has ever been officially served and if there isnt then neither the SFA or Hearts really have a leg to stand on, but they will probably get away with it on a "technicality". Im glad the club are investigating. I only hope that they dig their heals in because this is far from over. No one has said anything clear cut and reasons to justify his eligibility are yet to have been expanded on beyond what was put on STV on Sunday night. Unless Liverpool, the SFA or Hearts can prove anything new this is far from over.

New additions always welcome. Seems like another promising prospect.
