  1. Better that he comes back and stays fit rather than rushing back and breaking down again.
  2. He was a decent enough 'keeper but possibly not quite SPL standard. Should find himself a berth at a part time club without too much difficulty. Still can't work out why Butcher prefered him over Esson in the final weeks of our relegation season and suspect if he hadn't we might have been spared that pain.
  3. Would rather he had this sort of exposure after signing a new contract.
  4. HT; Hibs 0, ICT 0 FT; Hibs 1, ICT 2 ICT; Odhiambo Hibs; Riorden Crowd; 13,984
  5. Reasonably confident we will avoid the drop. Anything more will be a bonus.
  6. What exectly is the current position as far as Roscoe is concerned ?
  7. Bodes well for the future.
  8. Tend to agree. While it's great to have two such competent 'keepers competing for the jersey, I do wonder whether it's a prudent use of limited resourses.
  9. But not enough, it would appear! Interesting story all the same. Tuffey and Esson? We'd be guaranteed one very unhappy keeper. Or indeed two given today's signing news.
  10. Only temporary respite in my opinion. Football in Inverness below our level continues to be a bit of a shambles with Clach, for whom I also have a soft spot as they were my late Father's team, lurching from crisis to crisis and Inverness City being denied promotion well earned on the field because they don't have a full time home.
  11. "Well because i have a source I thought it might be different" You're right. If you didn't have a source it would have been different. The thread would have been closed altogether !
  12. Seems things have changed radically since I did higher geography three decades ago. My memory is now failing with middle age but I distinctly remember England and Scotland being separate countries back then !
  13. Very happy with this news. With all due respect to Mark Brown, Esson is, in my opinion, the best 'keeper we've had at the club since the peerless Jim Calder.
  14. It seems clear from a number of normally reliable sources that the club have only offered both Esson and Roscoe one year deals. Surely each merit the security of two, if not three, year contracts.
  15. I'm sure that's right. It sounds that they made every reasonable effort to rescue him and he was only abandoned when it became clear that any further effort was futile and would imperil the rest of the group. Those who engage in extreme altitude mountaineering appreciate the riks and the brutal consequences of such an unfortunate happening.
  16. .....and then there were two.....
  17. Derek Adams to Killie ?
  18. On the contrary, just like his father, he is in my opinion, one of the better club chairmen in Scottish football.
  19. To be fair, I can see his point. ICT being promoted instead of his city neighbours is likely to cost his club ?60,000 next season.
  20. Can't complain.
  21. Like most posting on this thread, I'd preferit if Esson stayed but Tuffey would be an adaquate replacement if he didn't.
  22. I'm pleased that the boy has got fixed up. Personally, I've not seen enough of the boy to judge whether or not he's a decent prospect.
  23. I suspect that both will be squad players rather than regular starters but pleased with the news nevertheless.
  24. It's clear now that there's no substance to this rumour so thread closed.
