As things stand.............?
Meekings, McKay, Sutherland, and Morrison too.

Tokely memorable moments
His overhead against Dundee United and his awful strike against Dunfermline are 2 of my favourite goals, as well as the rasper against the Jam Tarts.

Is Butcher solely to blame?
Blame Scottish football and its slow developing death.

Rename the North Stand?
Given the service he has given to this club and for the fact that we will never see another player like him im voting in favour...AYE!

ICT squad 2012-13
More like karma. Alot of the players he punted i would have kept. He had 2 choices last year. Build on what he got or go for an overhaul. A year on it looks like he made the wrong choice. Im prepared to be patient. We still dont know who will come in to fill the gaps.

Tokely Offski - to Countski
This is actually as close to tears as ive ever been over a footballing matter. Ive grown up my whole life watching Rosscoe play and im devastated he wont be there from now on. He was one of the best and truely one of a kind with the service he has given to ICT. The maruading runs down the wing, his rock solid nature, the flashes of silky skills, the strike against Hearts which i will never forget and above all his undying love for the club. We will never see a player like him again. Good luck Rosscoe.

ICT squad 2012-13
From what Kenny is saying if he is referring to players who are under contract then they are probably coming from Englad. Given that contracts dont expire there until the end of June.

ICT squad 2012-13
Tbh i rated Piermayr more than Meekings so im dissapointed he has left but if he wants closer to home then fair enough. Gutted about Jonny but it was inevitable. He has had 3 great seasons with this club and will have left many good memories with us all...just hope he dosent go the Aberdeen. I assume that Jonny's offer was a good one so it would probably be an idea to offer it out to a high calibre of player. Someone mentioned Ross Forbes in the transfer suggestions. Think he would be a great replacement if we could get him.

Team for first pre season game

Brendan Rodgers and Paul Lambert
As a Reds fan as well i'm quite happy that Liverpool have thought outside the box a bit here. Rogers has a terrific philosophy on football and it was well implemented into the way Swansea play. Liverpool are in desprate need of a shake up and many fans need to wake and realise that they arent part of the top 4 anymore. If Rogers recruits some decent signings and can get them play with the type of flair he demands then i can see them pushing up the table next season. Lambert is a different kettle of fish. I dont think he should leave Norwich just now. They seem to be at their best under him just now and if he has another decent season at the Canaries there will be bigger intrest in him next summer. If he does go to Villa he needs to be allowed to invest in the playing squad. A couple of signings aside Villa have been using the same squad for the last 3 seasons and its looking stale, they also need to stick by him. 3 managers in 3 seasons is hardly stable.

Tade to St Johnstone. Deal Confirmed.
I am really dissapointed to see him go but there will be better players than him.

Nice to see no ones panicking.

Deadline set for contract renewals.....
It would appear that this has backfired. I like many here assumed Tade and Tansey would be amongst those to be here for at least another season but it was only after this ultimatum was issued that both lads had left and im convinced more will follow. So much for keeping the majority of the squad intact. Im sure we will make a couple of good signings over the summer but this is probably what its going to be like from now on.

Sky Sports news have confirmed Tade's transfer to St Johnstone.

Possible Transfer Targets
Liam Dickinson released by Southend. Could be a decent replacement for Tade.
-
ICT squad 2012-13
Guess nobody put together a compilation of Tade's misses? That would have surely deterred anyone from signing him. Again it would appear a desire for more money. You could play the Europe card but it is highly unlikely they will play more than 2 games. In all seriousness good luck to Tade but like Jonny i think another season here would have seen better teams take an intrest in him if he had replicated some of the good form he had shown.

Hayes Aberdeen FC Official (Maybe)
Jonny's agent is more desprate than he is for this move. Terry Butcher said Aberdeen were very courteous and professional in their approach for Jonny but im sorry this is anything but. Jonny has repeatedly denied he has agreed anything and today it is simply more of the same.
-
Possible Transfer Targets
Yeah i read that somewhere too. Just basing the observation on the fact the times ive seen him play he looks like a good player and Steven Pressley dosent strike me as the easiest of managers to get on with. Just thought Gibson would be worth a look especially if we lose Hayes.
-
Possible Transfer Targets
Willie Gibson is a free agent too. I remember him being decent for Killie and Dunfermline.
-
Are you worried ? - I feckin am
Must admit Morgan Spice echos alot of my points but Butcher had no way of winning it. If he had signed most of these guys on long term deals and theyd been cack then we would be moaning about how they should have been given short term deals and built upon them if they impress and vice versa if they were quaility signings but only on 1 year deals. I am worried becuase up until this summer we always had the core of stalwarts to rely upon and build the team around each summer but we no longer have the support following the mass exodus of last year. There isnt really an answer to it. We can only keep what we can and hope that the new signings impress. May not fill folks with confidence but that is all that can be done.

Tansey leaves ICT
Can only echo whats been said. Was a good player but never lived up to the hype that was spoken of him. Can be easily replaced. IMO if he had stayed another season and built on his first season he wouldve had much more serious intrest than just League 1. However he has made his decision and can only wish him well for the future...good luck Greg.

We had a similar debate about Marlon King last year though he hasnt killed anybody. Alot of this is down to personal opinion and everyones own perception of ethics at the end of the day. There is no law that says he cant play and if he has done the time required then he is free to carry on.
-
Deadline set for contract renewals.....
Dont blame him for doing this, the likes of Duff really dragged it out last year in terms contract talks and it probably had a direct affect on how buisness was conducted. If players adhere to the deadline then it gives Tel a firm idea of who stays and who needs replaced. He like us would probably like buisness conducted quickly so he can get the new players bedded into the team.

Riordan has already left.
