You mean the house thingy? Correct.

I actually had an inkling the day that a new signing was imminent. I may be wrong though (have a look at the ICT Twitter page!).

I think I've cottoned on to who Dougal is actually. I'm not going to name names, but once you realise who it is, it becomes fairly obvious.

There must be something up with Dean McDonald. Including a loan spell at Grays Athletic, this his 12th club since leaving us. That's roughly two new clubs a year. He was at four different clubs in 2009 alone! He was absolutely hopeless mind! Probably one of the worst ever players I've seen play for us in terms of all round ability.

This reminds of me a few years ago when we were crying out for a tall dominating centre-half to sit alongside Grant Munro and Brewster signed Lionel Djebi-Zadi and proclaimed that that would be the only defensive signing of the pre-season. That was nonsense and this is nonsense. It's as clear as day that we need another striker. We still have scouts down south and probably elsewhere. Why haven't we been scouting to see who was coming out of contract? Why don't we look at who is out of contract and bring them up on trial? Have we looked at who's available on a free? Claiming the team is fine as it is, is nonsense. Remember here people. We are managed by a manager who, when he was manager of Livingston, claimed that the score didn't matter to him - all that mattered what that they "played good football". I'm starting to get worried that Hughes does not look at ICT as a club to bring forward and achieve success, rather a project to show Scottish football that this tiki taka tooky wooky stuff can be played in Scotland.

Not "really" a friendly, but I see we've been drawn away to Clach in the North of Scotland Cup.

A worrying plan IMO.

I asked my dad about this the other day and he also says that it rings a bell with him. Didn't know anymore about it though.

I actually thought he had a bit of talent actually and maybe could've come good. Hughes didn't seem to rate him much though. Wonder if he'll disappear into the lower echelons on the English game now.

I heard stories that he was in clubs in Glasgow (The Garage I think, which I believe is some kind of outstanding establishment) ripping up tenners in-front of people. Wouldn't be surprised if that's true.

Wish to point out that i said this months ago

A reporter from the Press and Journal has tweeted saying Greenhalgh has been released.

Tony Watt's a total ned apparently. Same with Goodwillie. Might come good, but could be a disruptive character with baggage we don't need.

I bet England would've done better if all us bigoted hum drum kilt-wearers up here in Jockville had been good neighbours and supported our southern superiors.

Saw him play against us last August at Tannadice. He was hopeless!

This reminds me of that documentary Grizzly Man!

Similar statistics from when we signed Gary McSwegan! Was it Slew that turned out to be rubbish? Maybe it was Arquin I was thinking of!

What about Jordan Slew? I see he's in talks with County again and ripped us apart on New Years Day. Also, what's the situation with Melvin De Leeuw? He's be great in behind Mckay IMO, don't know if he'd be too expensive though.

Ian Wright certainly did as we all know. I think Gary Lineker played Thistle at the Kingsmills in a pre-season friendly once as well.

I always found this tiki taka tooky wooky stuff always a dull as dishwater to watch. Endless passing is boring and not exactly going to get people through the turnstiles - if anything it'll turn people away. The Chile, Netherlands, Colombia, Germany etc, get the ball and attack - IMO that's good football and far more exciting to watch.

Probably wishes he does. We live our "hum drum" lives up here in our "Tolkeinish" surroundings apparently.

I think it was the same game yeah. He'd just been released by Newcastle and was up on trial along with another ex-Newcastle left-back called Lough or something like that.

No thanks, he's absolutely rotten!

Not officially one of our ex-players per se, but I see Callum Morris, who was a centre-back on trial with us a few years ago has signed for Dundee United after his contract at Dunfermline ended. Played in a friendly away to Clach as I recall. Huge guy as well.

We did want him. He turned down a new deal.
