Personally I think Toks should be offered a dual role, Player and part time coach. Im sure he could motivate others, as ICT is Ross Tokely, so to coin a phrase, we are all Ross Tokely. If he were to leave to get game time, Rossco will be back home sometime.

Jesus, take the stanley knife and sleeping tablets out of the house. Look at how many players are getting released throughout the country, that is because of most clubs struggle to survive the recession. That will also mean their are lots of decent players out there looking for clubs and the chance to be in the shop window. Its too early to tell, but St Mirren losing lots of players, St J having to completely rebuild with the two successful strikers gone aswell, Hibs and Hearts wont be playing like Real Madrid, the dandy dons are cutting back and have Grandpa Broon in charge who has only had one successful season as a club manager, Killie have problems - like their brand of footie - panic if the opposition presses them in their own half, Rangers Newco under 20s, and Arabs cutting back wont be as strong, Motherwell will still be top 6 easily, Celtic have the league sewn up by October, and then their is the caravan dwellers. ICT will be fine. I predict an 8th spot

Being able to afford a youth set up is all about faith, hoping to unearth an absolute gem. Thats the way small clubs plied their trade in the past, but now the big clubs scouting network is so proactive, you are liable to lose these gems to the likes of Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc etc before they even get near the first team. You hear of these clubs after players of 13, 14, 15 and 16 thinking they can improve their development with their higher regarded higher paid youth coaches, but it will starve the smaller clubs of that big pay day, as they only pay towards the small clubs time and effort in coaching the youngster. You may get £100k for a player worth £1-2m a couple of years later, although finding that gem might be one per generation. Consider this, we have 11 non highlander under 20s in a squad of 16-17, but 4 or 5 go on to our first team, would we consider that better than all highlanders, 1 getting to first team but we get relegated. Terry and Mo will be doing what they think is best for the clubs future, as to bring our club down will ruin their career, they are here to do everything to succeed,

As far as i know Liam Polworth would still have been eligable for the 19s this season. What it does do this new u20s league, it makes it much harder for the u17s to get picked for an apprenticeship, and makes it more costly for the club. Say the 17 year olds are on £100 a week ( guessing ), 18s would be on £120, so 19 years old players would have to be on more. Its already hard for the young lads going up a one years age, then into the 17s a two year age gap, now the 20s will have a three year age gap. Would expect ICT to just pick 3 or 4 to go up from the u17s this year

what teams are in the league Scotty, Vancouver, Montreal, joe Toronto and what others

League has been corrupt for years, just because this is out in the open, its big news. Think about it, refs baffling decisions, Dundee Utd v Roma euopean cup semi, Rangers v Marseilles in the first champions league, etc etc. Celtic and Rangers favoritism over the years, sfa keeping highland clubs out of the league for years, etc etc. Nothing new, nothing changes!

Annan getting a plastic pitch in the summer,

unfortunately the lost 1-4 to Stjarman ( the team with the catching a big fish goal celebration on you tube ) and someone called Laudrup scored their 4th

Chelski on pens against a German team, now thats a turn up. But why was John Terry wearing his footie strip after the game when he was banned, as he wasnt wearing it during the game!

Grindavik, Keflavik, Hafnafjordur and Akranes anyone?

Man U and Chelsea get up mine, just cant see why they hate Man City buying the title, as thats just what both of them have done in the past

gets used for fans to watch thechamps league final when they couldnt get tickets. probably use it for the reserve and youth games.

Any one heard where we are heading before the season starts. Will it be the usual Highland league friendlies or do you think their is the chance of European opposition

Its hard to chose between Chelski and FC Hollywood. Dont particularly like either of them, Drogba epitomises Chelski with such talent you wonder why he resorts to so much cheating and diving. Not sure if i would want them to win, but dont really want the Germans to win either. Bayern 3 Chelsea 1

with icecream and sorbet......hmmm Had whale meat and asparagus up their last year. Was really tasty and would have again

Are we all forgetting that some of the salt n sauce final could have as much vile singing as the OF. Hope Hibs can do it, but think Hearts will
