Astonishing.. Is there anyone would wouldn’t have wanted him back at ICT?

Despite Liam Fox being announced in the press as joining the Hibs coaching set up after leaving Livi last month, he has been unveiled as assistant to Tam Courts at Dundee Utd.

We’ve signed experienced Italian, Andrea Bocelli. I’ve never seen him play but we could certainly do with someone vocal on the pitch.

Brechin were obviously keen on the Lowland League, reportedly offering the other teams that they would purchase a minimum of 100 tickets for each away game (few of which would actually be used) and offering free admission to away fans at Glebe Park. They have also now brought Craig Levein on board, are changing from a members club to a company, and I believe the family who own Mackie Motors amongst other things might be instrumental in all this. Pity they had to fall so far before sorting themselves out. Strange how they went into freefall as soon as they unexpectedly got promoted to the

Dodds commentating for BBC tonight, Scotland v Netherlands. Memphis Depay a free agent, just saying....

Yes it did happen, I think we were just in one frame, perhaps the final one of the comic strip, and I’m sure it was the Beano.

Just realised that most of our managers are ex international footballers. Baltacha, Robbo, Butcher, McCann and now Dodds, whilst Foran was an U21 international. You’ve also got Brewster who many thought should have been capped, but was out of sight out of mind when at his peak in Greece, and later it was his play that got Stevie Crawford his caps when they were a partnership at Dunfermline.

If only back in 2015 winning the cup offered, as it does now for StJ, Europa league group stages (or at worst, the new Europa conference league). Possible £3m revenue from that - where might we be now, and what a lot of fun we’d have had on our travels!

One of the very top for unfulfilled potential.

He’s obviously not the finished article but a really good prospect. For me there’s no doubt that we’d have done a wee bit better there this season if we still had Tremarco, but we’d also have had less money for other positions. Intersting question about his position, could he move into left midfield?

Walking back to the car after the game was the first time I ever made a mobile phone call. I didn’t have my own one in those days so I borrowed one to tell my dad the score - he thought I was winding him up. From him taking me to see Caley in the Highland League to us winning comfortably at Celtic Park, just amazing.

The Challenge Cup only gets interesting when you get to the semis with the chance of a final. The League Cup only gets interesting at the quarter finals, when you have the chance of a semi final at a neutral venue and you are only 2 games away from a national final. The Scottish Cup is always interesting.

Well, Yogi was linked with the Scotland job last time it was available. Linked only by himself, but hey....

This week the bookies have had John Hughes as a contender for ICT, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Dundee Utd and even Celtic. Everywhere except County, basically.
