Arfield would be a good signing I think. Jensen was good in his day but might be a bit past it by now. I see Grainger's been released by Hearts. Experienced and good at set-pieces IIRC. Don't know if he'd want to come/would be affordable though.

I see Man U have accidentally announced that Moyes is the new manager on their Facebook page! Edit - Now officially confirmed that Moyes will take over on July 1st on a six year deal.

And remember the fuss when we let Munro and Tokely go, perhaps Butcher got that correct (I think he did) despite all the nonsense spouted on here by certain posters On the whole Tokely hasn't been missed. He might have got a game at right-back ahead of Raven (before he came good) at the start of the season, but'd be sat on the bench for a while by now. Munro has since been adequately replaced. Had he at the time been replaced by Warren (or someone of that ability) at the time, then I think the issue would have died a death fairly quickly. His replacement though Tom Aldred who wasn't as good and disappeared fairly quickly. For my money, Williams, Tokely and Proctor all weren't as good as him, while Golobart came good after a dodgy start. He would have made a difference to the defence last season, but would be a bench player for this one.

GMS came through the County youth system before signing for Liverpool. We had him on trial in 2010 and he played the first half of a friendly against Clach, before getting injured the following week in the warm-up of a game at Forres. Apparently we did offer him a deal a few months later which he turned down.

I won't be surprised if it's a very left-field appointment (similar to Wenger at Arsenal).

IMO both penalty decisions were wrong. The Motherwell one was a blatant dive, while Ross just falls over his own feet. The first Motherwell goal should never have happened either - it came from them winning a free kick that was never a foul. Another poor poor game from Willie Collum and it's not the first time that's happened. I actually thought as well, that we were almost contributing to our own downfall in the second half. The all-out-attack system from the first half seemed to have been stopped and the defence was sat far deeper than before. As we've seen in the past (the Challenge Cup Final for example) that can be suicidal and could have cost us. A great, exciting game though, and our first half tactic, of taking the game by the horns and playing with far more gay abandon rather than the recent tentative safety-first football that we've seen in the previous weeks, is the way to go, till the end of this season and next.

Connor Rennie was at Dundee in the SPL I think. Though I think he's at Deveronvale now...

Am I not right in saying that Hogg's wife is Butcher's goddaughter (She's the daughter of George Burley I believe)? I remember talk as well that one of reasons Butcher punted Munro was due to preferring Hogg and apparently never rating Munro since he arrived. With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised to see Butcher offer him a new deal (and I hope he does).

Has Scott Mathieson been released then?

I believe it's official called "The Caley Thistle'! I bet there was many sleepless nights spent thinking up that name! That's the family enclosure.

I'm not a fan of naming stands after people really. Mainly because there's been influential people throughout (and before) the club's life and there'll be ones that may even not have yet been born! If Terry Butcher deserves a stand named after him, then what about Steve Paterson? Had it not been for him we probably wouldn't even be in the SPL today, far less challenging for Europe. He's still probably our greatest ever manager as well. And what about David Sutherland? Arguably there'd be no club without him and saved it from going belly up in the early years. And what about Dennis Wyness, Jim Calder, Ross Tokely etc? If you're going to name stands after people, where is it going to end? In saying that, I wouldn't mind seeing the North Stand christened officially as "The Bridge End" or something along those lines (and preferably not something naff like Hamilton's "Spice Of Life Stand" [yes that is what it's called!]). One idea I heard once was calling it the "Citadel" after the long gone team, we do play in their part of town after all. No sponsored or named after name for me thanks (though I could be persuaded for a Pele reference! ), though I wouldn't mind seeing christened with a more unique name.

Must have been changed then. The ICT official site still says Tuesday.

It's on Tuesday I believe.

I've seen tons of ICT officiated by Willie Collum yet I don't think I've ever seen him have a good game! And I thought the ref's performance in Perth last week was bad, yesterday's display was even worse!

In all honesty, you'd have thought he'd never have been out!

A BBC correspondent is reporting that the Doncaster chairman is very interested in speaking to Butcher.

I see Butcher was saying in post-match interview that ICT look to be signing Burnley winger Adam Evans and he's already been up on trial. Supposedly as well, there'll be another trialist game fairly soon as well.

After today's performance, I'd be offering Hogg a one year deal.

I see Butcher is 4-1 to get the job at the moment, yet was 50-1 earlier today! I can't see him going there myself mind, but one of the people reporting it is the sports editor at BBC Radio Sheffield, so there might be some substance to it.

They may have played well on the whole, but playing an inexperienced full-back out of position against Higdon would be a mistake and could potentially be pivotal in our European conquest.

^ No sense of style!

Funnily enough when Butcher was at Sydney his dress sense was a particular focal point of negative press. They thought he looked like a hobo!
