  1. I believe Brian has given up football. Several players have given up football and then come out of it. Butcher knows Kerr well and with us being in the SPL i wouldnt be suprised if he makes a similar move as he did with Duff.
  2. Anyone else intrested in what Butcher has to say about all this?
  3. Gutted for Granty, was shocked when i heard he was shown the door. I just hope now that Butcher can justify this move to us, as well as Duncan.
  4. Didn't see this coming at all. Munro has been a key player to ICT for the last 6 seasons, 3 of which he was captain of. Golie and McBain i understand as they are literally on their last legs. If George Fraser's comments are anything to go by then these may have been rather difficult decisions to make but Terry Butcher has now got to justify these moves to us. I just hope in a years time that we can look back on this i think of it as the right thing to do.

    Team for Celtic

    Esson Tokely, Hogg, Munro, Gillet Ross, Duncan, Duff, Doran Rooney, Sutherland subs: Tuffey, Innes, Golabek, Morrison, Cox, Odhiambo, MacDonald.
  6. RD has started 7 out of our 10 league wins this season and 10 out of 14 wins in all competitions. I rest my case.
  7. Pritty much every goal he ever scored for us cause most of them were spectacular. Met him once years ago when he helped take a group i was with on tour round the ground. Really nice, down to earth and genuine guy. The sort of guy you dont usually get in football. Good luck Russell.
  8. Dire, dire, dire, dire, dire. I hope thats summed things up well. Without Foran, Hayes and Duncan, this side lacks any bite. We got pushed and bossed about by Aberdeen at times. Today things such as straight forward passes and first touches were forgotten about and we went back to the indecisive, pussyfooting ways. Despite one hurrendous error in the first half that fortunately was not grabbed by Paton the only player that really stood out for me was Kenny Gillet. He worked his socks off closing down attackers and doing his best to create stuff from the back. At one point he made 2 perfect tackles before playing a superb ball over the top for Rooney who struck it just wide of the post. Gillet himself also hit a cracking shot from about 35 yards which was inches of the top corner. The scrap between stewards and supporters reared its head again today and resulted in several supporters being thrown out, rather harshly. If fans are told to sit down then fair enough but all i will say is it would be rather hard to follow such a command when the home supporters are doing the exact same thing and are simply ignored by Stewards. For me the only positive to come out of it is the thought that i know we our better than this and hopefully are game will be sufficently upped for the visit of Celtic.
  9. He better have someone good into replace him and no Brian Kerr or some unheard off does not count. I'm pritty sure stats will show that most of our wins this season have come with Russell being in the starting 11. I understand that Butcher wants to build his own team but chucking one of our most consistent performers of the last 2 seasons is not the answer.
  10. Esson Duff, Hogg, Tokely, Gillet Ross, Cox, Duncan*, Doran Rooney, MacDonald Susb: Tuffey, Innes, Munro, Morrison, Sanchez*, Odhiambo, Sutherland Sanchez if he's fit should be on the bench And until i hear something conclusive about Duncan he goes in my starting 11
  11. I've never been Russell's biggest fan but for me he has been one of our best players in the last 2 seasons. He has done the task of shoring up our midfield and protecting our defence very well. For me the mistake has been never giving him a midfield partner with better attacking skills as i think some like that next to him would make it almost the perfect midfield. As has been said letting him go would be a huge mistake. I think Butcher would be hard pushed to find someone as capable and as committed to the cause as Russeldinho. Butcher talks about having to win ugly all the time...well then he needs a guy like Duncan in his team. To you at ICT, i hope my thoughts have been made clear to you on this matter.
  12. Me plus 3, looking forward too it!.
  13. He'll be turning 35 in the summer and hasn't impressed that well here (without playing badly either) so i don't agree with him being able to pick up a decent SPL side, Dunfermline possibly as they maybe looking for some experience but when he signed for us last summer we were fighting off teams like Queens, Partick and Dundee for his signature. Someones been on Wikipedia...
  14. Foran, Hayes, Duff, Hogg, Black, Morais, Cox, Esson, Dargo, could go back as far as the likes of Wyness. We are great at getting these players sorted out.
  15. Has done his service when called upon. Good luck to him next season.
  16. Rankin was great at ICT and like many who come up here will be in need of a new lease of life. We also miss a midfielder of his qualities. He was great at getting forward and was a dangerous set piece taker. I'd have him back in a flash. Nish for me could be someone worth looking at too. As mentioned he was always a handful against us and is in need of a fresh start too.
  17. Esson Duncan, Hogg, Munro, Gillet Sutherland, Cox, Ross, Doran Foran, Rooney Subs: Tuffey, Innes, Golabek, Morrison, Blumenshtein, MacDonald, Odhiambo.
  18. Agreed with Alex. More and more players are going to be linked with us as the weeks go on. I heard Alan O'Brien's name get mentioned as well today. Winger released by Swindon. I love this time of year for football. The intrest of seeing who stays and who goes and which trialist's would be good etc.
  19. You seem have far too much time on your hands. I've said already that i think Tade would be a great addition to the squad. Not sure about Kirk. I seem to recall him being quite prolific last season but i'm not sure what he's been like this season.

    Richie Foran

    He's racked up a fair amount of miles has Mr Foran. Quite a story.
  21. Having looked at the highlights anyone else reckon Foran's header was over the line? Could simply add it to the number of other screwed up decisions that Allan and co got wrong. Having read some of the morning papers it seems like Crawford Allan wasn't the only ref in Scotland coming in for serious criticism.
  22. Point but could have been three. Goal from Doran was a great start, didnt have a good view of the potential penalty. Duff made an excellent goal line clearence on half time. Referee was dire. So much was either not noticed or judged wrong. The throw in that led to Hearts goal was several feet from where the ball actually went out of play. Also Foran had a header that looked over the line. Hearts had struck the crossbar earlier but the game was still relatively open. Tokely's red was Cox giving the ball away cheaply. Dont think Rosscoe needed to take the boy out but he did and as soon as he did you knew he would go. A point isn't a bad result by any means but 3 were defnitely there for the taking.
  23. Goodwillie was charged and is currently awaiting conviction but we're getting off topic here. For me Eremenko is defnitely player of the year. Certainly the most gifted footballer i've seen play in the SPL in a long time. Great touch, passing, vision and shooting ability. I'm guessing he will be in the Championship or Premier League next season. The young player award is quite hard to pick.
  24. Dunfermline for me. Got more quality and experience about them.
  25. It has its pros and its cons. Johnny is a key player and his presence in the team will have an influence on where we finish this season. However on the other hand he had no pre season training last summer through injury and by getting the surgery now would mean he would be fit for when the team re group in July.
