Two players, Calum Ferguson (from Inverness) and Jay Cheyne (from Aberdeen) have been signed on to the under 20s. They have come up through the youth system and I know that Calum has been at caley for 8 years. Although some players were released. I find it pretty ridiculous that only two were taken on but I congratulate the two and hope to see them lining up for the first team in a few years time.

For the penalty it looked like it was the "who ever gets to the ball first can take it". Foran nearly got there but then the keeper kicked it towards Hayes. To me i'm not going to look too much into Hayes taking the penalty. And it is fair to say that Hibs are going to get hammered in the final. Good performance by us. MOTM Tansey.

I wonder how much a player at mk dons would be on? Alan Judge the "Irish messi" worth a look?

So can now someone tell me what the line ups were? First and second half..

Can anyone tell me the line ups for the first and second half?

normally I am completely behind him but the fact that he didn't start tudur jones and nick Ross is shocking. And then to bring on shane Sutherland there, why? He's already shown how poor a player he is, apart from to run down the clock there was no reason to bring on a sub with a minute to go! Thats quite a statement. Explain?

Butcher is completely to blame for this defeat!

Can't believe tudur jones and nick Ross aren't starting

They were asking for a fan from each team in the spl to get in contact with them! So I did and they asked me this!

Hope it's not to much to ask also that the magazine have also asked me to put my favourite memory about them! So any ideas would be great! The magazine will be in shops on march 1st if you are interested in having a read at all!

I've been asked by the magazine "four four two" for a new column they're doing to choose ICT's best and worst foreign player of all time (not republic of Ireland). So I thought I'd ask for opinions on this? Give a reason for each as well please! Cheers.

ESSON - pulled off some very good saves, was very worried about him when he took a knock. Shame about his mistake for the goal. 7/10 PIERMAYR - had a great debut and has surely taken that right back position for himself. Defended well and was also good getting forward. 7/10 TOKELY - did what he needed to do but did struggle at times in that centre back position. 6/10 ALDRED - won pretty much every header and looked solid at the back. One thing for sure is hogg will not be replacing him. Very impressed with the "tank" 7/10 GILLETT - I thought he was our poorest player by far. Looked shaky and uncomfortable against sproule but did do a tremendous tackle in the first half. 5/10 JONES - also had a great debut and controlled the game at times! Some of his passing is world class. 8/10 TANSEY- looked pretty good but was quiet at times. Don't know how many chances he missed but overall a not bad performance. 7/10 HAYES - thought he was very poor by his standards today. He will come at it but this match was not his day. Made the mistake for the goal. 6/10 ROSS - another who was off the pace but will also come at it. He just didn't do much. 6/10 FORAN - if I'm honest he was by far MOM. Thought he was absolutely brilliant and led the team like a true captain. I think goals will come for him yet. 9/10 TADE - worked his socks off and chased every lost cause. He looks like a very good signing but will take time to settle. 7/10

I know I'm going to get slated for this but honestly I don't understand some people on this! Nick Ross was brilliant for us last season. Didn't chip in with many goals but that wasn't his job to do. He's our most promising youngster by far and yes had a poor game today but how you can suggest to put him out on loan is just laughable. Congrats Nick on getting called up!

That's pretty much everyone needed to replace the ones that left. Grant Munro - Tom Aldred Russell Duncan - Greg Tansey Max Johnson - Ed Baldy? Chris Innes - Josh Meekings Eric odhiambo - Billy Mckay Stuart Duff - Thomas Piermayr Dani Sanchez - Andrew Shinnie Adam Rooney - Gregory Tade Roy Mcbain - Owain Tudur Jones Chris Hogg - Chris Hogg Aaron Doran - Aaron Doran Stuart Golabek and Gil blumenstein really didn't need replaced but can be replaced by young players such as Andrew Greig and Tom Smith etc. Looking very promising this season...

Dani sanchez - Spain

Jonny tuffey - northern Ireland

Zibi Malkowski - Poland

Marius niculae - Romania

Djebi Zadi - France

I think it's just the fact that Scottish players that are spl quality are just too expensive on our budget.
