Personally, I thought that Ghana looked really good. Oh, and only two days till North Korea, I can't wait!

Has anyone actually seen Chic Young at the World Cup yet? I don't think I've seen him at all.

I was going to say that myself. Some of the goalies seem to take goal kicks that go the length of the pitch and out for another one. The bounce on it is terrible as well, I wonder if we'll see any goals from simple long balled free kick from the other half that bounces over the keepers head.

Get posting on all things World Cup! Thought the first game was pretty good and a draw was a fair result. What about those horns though? I'll think I'll get one of them for the Caley Park!

Knowing Butcher's previous signing targets of English players, I think it's fair to say that it'll almost certainly be a player who is either at, or recently released from a Championship or League One sized club.

And if that is a true reflection of the typical Scottish man you have a serious problem. Well educated looking bunch aren't they? What a total cringe fest that video is. And a horrible song as well I have to say. I listened to about 10 seconds and could bare no more!

I'm wonder who the foreign player could be. Tade perhaps?

What about the mighty Kirin Cup a few years ago? Scotland had to beat such world powerhouses as Japan and Bulgaria to win that!

I'm not an England supporter, nor a Scotland one for that matter, but I find all this ABE stuff a bit cringeworthy. It just shows what a rather backwards country we can be at times, but sadly, I'm not surprised.

SPL St. Mirren have signed Danny Lennon from Cowdenbeath as their new manager.

From what I've heard, the Australian side that was after Tokely was North Queensland Fury, who up until a couple of months ago were managed by ex-Rangers man Ian Ferguson, but with him leaving recently they dropped their interest. They signed a couple of Scottish based players last season, Dyron Daal being a prime example. As well as having Robbie Fowler last season too. IIRC, they were awfully short of money, which in turn led to Ferguson leaving and joining Perth and taking Fowler with him. Whether it's Perth that are now after Tokely I'm not sure, but NQF were one of the teams after him.

For me, having a good keeper should be the priority, the wages may well be the issue (though I believe in Esson's case the length of contract is the issue), it would be well worth it to spend as much as you can to ensure that that position is suitably filled. On the second point, length is important. Whilst it is better to have them signed up for at least some time rather than none, I'd rather have someone like Esson signed up for the future with the end in a few years time, so he cannot leave for free (when, should he gauge the interests of other clubs and a possible transfer bid could come ICT's way), or have to go through this same tooing and frowing next year.

In response to post #47 - :P I was actually referring to the fact, that ICT seem to have make a mess of things. It's happened before. Whether it be on the pitch, such as ICT's habit of losing late goals, or whether it'd be off the pitch, such as how more effort wasn't made to keep Bobby Mann or Darren Dods (a player who's never been properly replaced) or the disastrous decision to bring back Brewster, which in turn led to the end of players such as Barry Wilson, Ian Black and John Rankin at ICT. There's many more. That's got nothing to do with whether I support the club or not, cause anyone could see that history may be repeating itself again. I think most people quite easily comprehended what I meant.

Agreed. But remember people, this is Caley Thistle. A club that usually blows it.

That's got me thinking, for a club of ICT's age, there's been an awful lot of mascots. Off the top of my head - Angus the Stag ICat Nessie the Monster Caley Croc Johnny the Fox - lasted one game I believe Bring back Angus I say. He was the best.

I'm a Trequartista!

And did you obey?

I know this is old news but I was reading over this topic for the first time and that is very poor come back. I expect much more from you renegade. I'm sorry, I'll try better next time. :) First all, who's heritage do we save? Is Gaelic Scotland's true heritage? How many Scottish people have a "Gaelic heritage"? I'm Scottish, and it ain't mine. But still, these roadsigns aren't about the money, it's about safety. Something, as can be seen earlier in the thread, that these roadsigns do not help.

It just shows that Dundee paid money for nothing!

Lol, jews account for less than 2% of the population of the United States. I think he means more the pro-Israel vote and lobbyists (most of whom incidentally are not Jewish).

I think it's interesting here to look at Barack Obama's past on this issue. Before he ran and when he ran for the Illinois State Senate he was pro-Palestinian, when he was a State Senator, he still was pro-Palestine, but as soon as he became a full federal Senator, all of a sudden he became pro-Israel like the vast vast majority of the rest of the American political scene. Of course, he had higher aspirations than the US Senate and without a somewhat pro-Israel stance, whereby he can appease the likes of AIPAC and other pro-Israel groups, he would have no chance getting anywhere. Without a pro-Israel viewpoint, he'd have probably have found it hard to be re-elected as Illinois's Senator, far less becoming the President. It would also be worth noting of who his Vice President is. Joe Biden has even said himself that he was "Israel's greatest friend in the United States' Senate". This was just another move to show that Obama does indeed share a viewpoint with the majority of Americans, which in turn, helped him along the way. I think underneath it all, Obama is not half as pro-Israel as he proclaims to be, and not a patch on the stance of his predecessor. Of course though, without this stance, he wouldn't get very far in his political career.

It says on Wikipedia that he's 6"1. About the same height as Rooney IIRC.

Renegade?

I once saw Adam Rooney in Starbucks! :011:

I did!
