County seem to Problem FC these days. That's them signed Vigurs, they signed Hart after the whole drugs shabang, they had Tony Bullock, they also had that boy Stachan who beat his partner up a few months ago, players physically fighting with the boss. All fun and games down Dingwall way.

He went to Elgin just after Zibi came in.

Possibly Still wouldn't have worded it that way.

Obviously there is about a 99.99% chance that he will go, but I reckon it's also quite likely Brian Kerr will go and I wouldn't be surprised to Foran away too, I just find it a little strange to come out and name someone explictly, no matter how obvious it may be.

Well obviously he will go, but I still wouldn't have come out and said that they were resigned to losing him. To other teams that'll look like he'll be an easy catch.

Not really an insult, more a fact.

I see in the Courier Bennet says he has resigned to losing Morais. Bit of a silly thing to say IMO. Had it been me i'd have said something along the lines of "We're trying to keep as many players as possible" without naming any names, but to name a name to me seems foolish no matter how likely it is for the aforementioned player to go. It pretty much brings conotations that he'll be away no matter what so other clubs can put in a smaller offer.

It's pretty silly really. This gang are just giving themselves new titles for no reason at all, other than to pat each other on the back. Another strange decision by the board.

Sadly with this boards record, it's only a matter of time before Butcher goes, and almost inevitably replaced with Malpas. This thread isn't an as impossible scenario as some are trying to make it sound.

There's only one way to find out! FIGHT!!!

Wow those fixtures look smashing. I reckon tickets'll be selling out in no time!

In no way at all am I trying to undermine the management. I like Butcher and want him to stay, but I can't help but feel that he won't be sticking around for long, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the rumours about him wanting to go to Falkirk are true, or anywhere else for that matter. After all, how many Scottish Division One sides have an ex World Cup England captain as manager or someone of that calibre? None He knew we might relegate before he took the job and signed the contract. I see no reason why he should go, and I hope he and MM are both here at the end of the season. Contracts mean pretty much nowt these days.

Thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind from now on. :018:

Following on from the other thread, and with ICT needing a new centre-hald, here's a name to throw in. George Suri from Auckland City. He's a Solomon Islands internationalist and looks pretty hefty. http://www.aucklandcityfc.com/profiles/george_suri.html Or on the striker front, 21 year old Fijian striker Roy Krishna. Plays in New Zealand for Waitikere United, but is having a trial with Wellington and was also being looked at by PSV Eindhoven. Edit - Looking up about this Roy Krishna and they seem to think he's one of the best players in the OFC. Here's a video, he scores the first goal.

:sad01:

Surely it's about time some form of ICT side played Inverness City (if they still exist by that time of course).

I've actually seen documentarys on these places and from what I could see the vast majority of the male population were built like barn doors.

I didn't say stop supporting them, I just think twice about spending a good bit of money for an hour and half every couple of weeks of sitting in the cold, watching Grant Munro hopeless punt the ball at every given opportunity.

We used to when were in the Oceana Confederation, we beat on of the islands 32-0. Thank God we are in the Asian Confederation now. That was American Samoa I think I (a game in which Archie Thompson scored 13 goals, a world record, and was then dropped for the next game!). Strangely though the American Samoa keeper had quite a good game.

I am not totally sure if you are serious here! So for one you base all pacific islanders on the figian and samoan rugby teams? :huh: And an 'untapped market' of rugby players to be used as footballers?? :huh: Does that even make sense in your own head? Isn't the most important thing in being a footballer that you can play football not just be big! I have noticed that a lot of basketball players are really tall and would therefore be great in the air both in defence and attack. We should sign a lot of random tall people as well to take advatage of this untapped market, I cant believe how nobody has signed up the players who dont make it in the NBA yet. If only managers across the world had the brain of renegade! Please show me where I said that ICT should sign rugby players to be used as footballers. I said that if anyone has seen the rugby teams (or anything else about these places for that matter) you'll see the size of these guys. The perfect size for a Bobby Mann style centre-half.

Possibly could be. ICT's stay in the 1st Division could be shorter than anyone expected.

Thanks for that. Please continue.

Bit odd that ICT try to resign Proctor, yet sign Cox who mostly plays as a right back.
