Do you know the truth then?

I don't know how realistic it would be to sign him but I rated him highly when he was playing in Scotland.

I'd guess the reason he signed on a decent length would have been something to do with the release clause, allowing him to leave early if a team was really interested in him. £200,000 isn't a disaster for a club our size and I very much doubt anyone would have paid more than that. He would have been more likely to move when his contract is up and get nothing at all. I hope he stays as he will be hard to replace but I wish him all the best if he does decide to move.

The two that still haunt me are... Inverness 0-1 Partick Replay after a 2-2 draw at firhill. It was a midweek match and the rain was horrendous, if we won we would have got our first semi final but sadly a Scott Paterson free kick finished us. Livingston v Inverness again in the quarter finals late into extra time when Paul Dalgleish scored the winner for Livingston, quarter final defeats were always the hardest to take.

I went on the 4 hour round trip to Station park last night to see Forfar v Linlithgow and recorded the ICT game for when I got in. A flare was set off prior to the match which then delayed kick off. The floodlights then went out and instead of lighting another flare to get the game back on they threw smoke bombs instead! The game was then abandoned for floodlight failure even though the lights were back on

If it was the cup final he wouldn't have went off injured.

Mantis how many of the "other" Scottish teams have you visited then going by that site? I've been to 10% of the 226 but I reckon you've been to a fair few of them. I've only really visited the junior teams from the West with a couple east teams thrown in and a couple highland league teams also.

He tweeted before the cup game saying he was injured. I guess he is still out and that's why he's no where to be seen.

Darran Thomson is manager at Edinburgh united.

Kyle Allison was man of the match for Kelty Hearts this afternoon.

Found this on the SFA website The following William Hill Scottish Cup fourth round replays will be played on the following dates: Forfar Athletic vs Linlithgow Rose (To be played Tuesday 19th January 2016, 7:30pm kick-off) Ross County vs Dunfermline Athletic (To be played Tuesday 12th January 2016, 7:45pm kick-off) Inverness Caledonian Thistle vs Stirling Albion (To be played Tuesday 19th January 2016, 7:45pm kick-off)

I ended up going to this game, bapties goal was an absolute screamer from 30 yards or so.

Manager of St. Andrews Phil McGuire has been sacked

Most likely he won't sign up again but if what we've been told is true then Foran will be taking over. A plan should now be put in place to make sure he is prepared and we should be trying to tie up all the loose contracts asap.

Totally agree if we cant get folk in basically free I dont think prices are the problem here. In reply to Deanos point above when the players visit schools free adult tickets as well as childrens tickets are offered. Good old pester power must work sometimes? However I have spoken to a player on that subject and they find it frustrating that the kids they meet are very keen to come but the adults wont bring them! Surely you can't be saying £12 for the coldest and wettest part of the stadium to take a kid to the game is a decent price. That's pretty poor. I've got 3 girls and sadly neither are interested in football after me trying a good few times to encourage it but I wouldn't ever take them to the dreaded uncovered sections which would have definitely turned them away. Football for the occasional fan is expensive but it's not the only reason why people aren't turning up. People's work commitments at the weekends take priority and as I work 7 out of 8 Saturday's I rarely get to games now unless I request a date off especially What I meant to say was the open section is an option made available to fans, or for a few quid more you can sit in the North Stand instead. But don't get upset over having this section available to fans if you can't make it to games and your kids don't want to go either. I'm not upset, I was just questioning your reasoning on thinking £12 per child for an unsheltered area was decent. It should be £10 for an adult in those areas.

Yeah I was quite surprised at the score tbh. Maybe it'll show the junior fans they may be getting left behind by the lowland league.

Where's dougal gone?

Sorry about being off topic.... Not quite sure what film that is but I did watch a movie a couple years back about Scottish amateur cyclist Graeme Obree. The film covers the period of Obree's life (late 80s to 90s I think) that saw him take, lose, and then retake the world one-hour distance record. He's played by Jonny Lee Miller and I actually thought it was a decent underdog watch.

Apart from the Shinnie brothers was the last set of brothers to be called up to the Scotland squad (not at the same time)

I mentioned Jackie, just like last time though there isn't that many attractive names going around. McCall would be another good shout if Hughes was to leave. Or for fun could we just get pele back in.

If it isn't foran i'd be very surprised. He has been built up as the replacement for the past two years. Failing that I think Jackie McNamara wouldn't be a bad choice.

Yeah it is billy McKay, did Jonny tuffey ever play for his country while with us? Easiest for me to remember was Richard Hastings for Canada. Any others?

After the way he left ICT for Hibs, I think you must be in a small minority of ICT fans who feel any sympathy , or sorrow, for him. As to him being an ICT legend, well I don't think so. 'Legend' is banded about far to readily these days, imo, not only by your good self, but by other posters on this forum when talking about ex players. For me a legend will have earned that respect over a considerably longer spell than Terry's relatively short spell with us. Just out of curiosity who do you feel is a legend at ICT then? I get the whole you have to be around for a few years to get that status such as Charlie Christie or Ross tokely but I still think an influential person coming in for 4-5 years can still be classed a legend. One of my favourite players that seems to have fallen behind certain strikers such as Rooney, McKay in the 'hall of fame' because of their achievements at a higher level is Paul Ritchie, at the time he left I definitely thought he was an ict legend for what he had done with us. I actually think the same can be said about pele and butcher for them taking us to another level. A legend to me is someone who will be remembered for achieving greatness. There is a few I can think of that have shone above the rest and can be remembered for iconic moments in our short history.
