Teuchter United!

What's the situation regarding the Georgian fellow in the U20s? From what I remember, he hasn't officially signed up, rather training with the younger players since being released by Dinnington Town. From what I've seen of this guy, he looks the business. We should sign him up for next season I reckon.

I'd like to sign him A because he's a good player, but also to see the County meltdown on OTB!

And that is the end of that. St Mirren and County vote no.

http://www.north-star-news.co.uk/Sport/Football/Inverness-Caley-Thistle/Ex-Inter-winger-interests-ICT-boss-Butcher-15042013.htm He's already agreed to sign!

We haven't raided County in a while! Kovacevic and that big Greek left-back fella would suit me. Also, I don't know about his contract status, but what about Stevie May? Only 20ish and scoring for fun in Division One!

Sorry but are you genuine.? Roberts is the most Pish player we've ever had. I thought Phillip Roberts was decent in the Oct-Dec period. After Semi final he's faded since that penalty miss. He definitely has potential, I mean why would a team such as Arsenal sign him if he didn't have any potential. Robert's position is a striker and he's played with us on wings, give the boy a chance in his natural position then make judgement. Robert's is currently injured at the moment aswell hence his absence. Dean McDonald played at Arsenal when he was about Roberts' age. He may have potential (and I believe he could be a good player if he wanted to be), but whether he is being out of position or not, he's hardly looked interested.

Any ideas?

Do we really need a replacement for Shane Sutherland? He hardly gets a game as it is!

Nothing mentioned at all in regards to Sutherland and Morrison. Take it they'll both be offski then. If they were going to be kept on, I'd presume that they'd have been mentioned by now in the coverage and probably would have been signed up already.

Josh Meekings has quite a good long throw, but like Munro before him, seldom uses it. I presume this is done because Butcher doesn't want a centre-back out of position for the throw, which is fair enough if it's way down the field, but when it's in a good position, surely someone else could be made to cover at the back. I've always thought as well, that if I was an opposition manager, and cottoned onto this, I'd get my team to hoof ball long towards the corner flags and try and win possession from there and thus get it into the ICT box. We really are that poor at them.

Was that Georgian boy playing? He was good on Tuesday and has been each time I've seen him.

When is it likely the County tickets will go on sale?

So as things stand: Signed up till the end of season 2013-14: Ryan Esson Richie Foran Ross Draper Conor Pepper (Butcher and Malpas are also in this category) Signed up till the end of season 2014-15: Josh Meekings Nick Ross Gary Warren Graeme Shinnie Billy McKay Daniel Devine David Raven Joining next season: Ben Greenhalgh _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following players are out of contract at the end of this season: Andrew Shinnie Owain Tudur Jones Antonio Reguero Simon King Aaron Doran Shane Sutherland Gavin Morrison Chris Hogg Scott Mathieson Loan deals expire at the end of this season: Charlie Taylor Philip Roberts Jordan Gibbons Deals unknown: Martin Laing Liam Polworth Matthew Cooper

I could live with bringing in Taylor full time. He's looked pretty good every time I've seen him play and can play on the wing as well apparently. Roberts is lazy.

I wonder if the final Highland Derby will be on Alba then (or some other channel)?

When do folk think tickets will be on sale for Celtic and County away?

HT 0-0 Nowt much to shout about so far. Mathieson has made some decent stops and touched one onto the post, while Polworth booted a good chance over the bar early on. Nice to see Hogg back playing. Ross and Sutherland are also out there and the Georgian boy wearing 11 looks dangerous. Second half now about to start.

Is that a hint?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22072465 Announcement unlikely.

I wouldn't want Celtic away as the final game of the season.

What about that fella who used to be at County - McGovern or something?

Aye basically confirmed beyond all doubt that he'll definitely be away.

You can always tell who aren't regular away game folk at Dingwall away, because about three-quarters of the away end leave right at the final whistle. This is not appropriate away game etiquette!
