Bit of a stick on to be honest - unless Tansey could do it?

The game's not played in the past unfortunately, the game is played in the present. I used to rate Proctor - not any more.

Esson Piermayr Tokely Aldred Gillet Ross A.Shinnie Tansey Tade Foran Hayes Subs - Tuffey, Proctor, Morrison, Doran, G.Shinnie, Sutherland, Greig An attacking 4-3-3 for me. Desperately need in a strong Duncan-esque defensive midfielder though.

Bring Back Duncan!

Bring Back Grant!

I think it's Tokely at centre half and Proctor on the right.

Gillet is 22 now I see. Piermayr is now presumably the new number 2.

Esson Proctor Tokely Aldred Gillet Ross Tansey Shinnie Hayes Tade Foran According to Chic Young (or something like that!). They also mentioned that Piermayr has signed but won't be in today's squad.

Well you've asked, so here you go! Well, believe it or not, I have to agree in part with Dougal! While I do not oppose giving the management team a new deal, I'd rather see how the first chunk of the season goes first. Remember how quickly things can change in football.

Jack is a shorter version of John - like John F. Kennedy was often referred to as Jack Kennedy. The same can be seen for Billy McKay (William!). I'm just wondering also, is Jack Sutherland the same person as Jake Sutherland who was/is still in the U19s before, or is that somebody else?

Presumably that is just a mistake and Gillet is in fact keeping the (empty) number 24. Also going by that list then the goalkeeper on trial (Ed Baldy [great name!]) has been signed up as he is number 41 on the list.

What I find a bit baffling is the reason for some of the minute changes in the numbering. Did Gillet really need to change to 21 from 24? Did Shinnie really need to change from 21 to 19? Did Sutherland really need to change from 20 to 18? If Proctor is going to be number 14, then why not give back number 2 to Tokely and give Gillet or Shinnie number 3? And finally, did Hayes really need to switch to number 7? Why not just keep him at 11 and give the number 7 to Ross? Won't help with named kits, unless that was their plan....... And why don't we have a number 13? Do we not live in the 21st century where people don't still believe this superstitious garbage?

You can't play trialists in the SPL (though you can in the SFL).

A bit of both really. Usually you can buy away tickets from ICT itself but paying at the away gate is usually possible.

Often the numbers used in the friendlies can give a hint at what they'll be. From I've seen I'd go with - 1. Ryan Esson 2. David Proctor 3. Ross Tokely 4. Tom Aldred/Josh Meekings? 5. Kenny Gillet 6. Lee Cox 7. Jonny Hayes 8. Greg Tansey 9. Richie Foran 10. Andrew Shinnie 11. Nick Ross 12. Jonny Tuffey That's my guess so far any way. No idea about the rest though. Personally I wish they'd give the number 2 jersey back to Tokely. Him with number 3 is just wrong!

It was actually a back five in the first half - Proctor-Tokely-Munro-Golabek-Shinnie In the second half he switched Golabek for Foran and went 4-2-3-1 - Proctor-Tokely Munro Shinnie

How did that wee player Greig get on? I was impressed with him when I saw him.

Okay, here we go! An attacking Marcelo Bielsa-esque 3-3-1-3 for me - Esson Tokely Aldred Gillet A.Shinnie Hayes------------------------------------G.Shinnie Tansey Tade-----------------------Foran-----------------------Doran I'd rather go for a 3 man defence than play Proctor! Subs - Tuffey, McKay, Ross, Sutherland, Proctor, Morrison, Meekings If Graeme Shinnie is injured, then Ross takes his place.

I for one think it's sickening that this tournament is even being held. Why aren't these women at home cooking, cleaning and looking after children?

I wonder if it's the training that's causing problems.

"I'm reliably informed by the scottish journalists behind me that the eleven out there for ICT are pretty much the first team, which will start their SPL season away to Motherwell in just seven days time.....must be rather worrying for them!!!!" Oh dear!

My guess they would line up on the field as - Esson Proctor Tokely Aldred Gillet Ross Stevenson Doran Hayes Tansey Foran Something like that.

He played left wing for a season at Barnet as well.

Well, low and behold he ain't on the bench. Well I never!
