  1. He might get a second bite at the cherry, as Albion seem to be in a bit of bother for fielding an ineligible player.
  2. True, but I'm pleased for the Hospice that they have finally managed to convert the gifted shares into cash - particularly as it was revealed just a couple of weeks ago that they were sickeningly robbed of about £500,000 in a telephone banking scam.
  3. And when it does, maybe someone could write a book about it!
  4. Are you referring to the bit about crisis management?!
  5. Going by the use of the £500,000, I think we can conclude that these sums will just go towards our wage bill, covering ongoing weekly losses and stopping us going bust this season.
  6. Best statement we've had for a while, which isn't saying much, but it is well written and does try to address several areas of concern. Apart from the change at the top, the most significant point is that £500,000 is to be invested to clear the debt we racked up trying to stay up last season and to go towards this season's operating loss. Doesn't say who is putting in the money, though.
  7. Nope, big waste of money, in the end. Only 4 goals from 15 starts, he was nothing special second time around.
  8. Have we hit rock bottom yet?
  9. I've no idea if this applies to Trafford, but there's a scheme whereby descendants of Polish Jews impacted by the holocaust are eligible for a polish passport. Thats why Gil Blumenstein had one.
  10. When I saw that Aberdeen had signed Stevie May, I briefly carried an optimistic hope that we might get Miles Storey on loan for a few months, but I see he has just signed for Partick.
  11. That's a pretty strong accusation and I don't think that is what Jamie Durent is saying - which to me is something more along the lines of "it's not as clear cut as has been portrayed by ICT". For example, IF there was an understanding that if Draper put in a transfer request then the club would accept the bid, then ICT would be telling the truth and Draper would be unhappy about being portrayed as the bad guy.
  12. Disappointing but not surprising re Draper. A point that hasn't been mentioned so far is that he wanted to leave and put in a transfer request.
  13. A narrower defeat than I feared before kick-off, but still disappointing.
  14. 10 years ago in the same fixture I thought it was great that they played defender Lee Wilkie as a lone striker. Our defence couldn't cope with him and we lost 0-3.
  15. Looks like the same XI as at Forfar. Seedorf still not in the squad.
  16. Puzzles me that people think the club is "arrogant" by exploring the possibility of doing this and putting in a request to the HL. Arrogance would be an expectation from ICT that because we are a big club in relative terms, the HL ought to simply bend over backwards to accommodate us, but there would appear to be no evidence of that being the case. It may well be a fruitless request, but I don't see why people are so keen to criticise the club for exploring something that would be good for ICT.
  17. Cathro must be one of the very few managers in recent years to have done a worse job than Foran. His record at Hearts is shocking.
  18. I can't believe we are even discussing the possibility of Robbo becoming Hearts manager, unless we are talking about Kelty Hearts! Edit to add - as an aside, Kelty's keeper for the last few season has been Kyle Allison, ex-ICT.
  19. He never played against Montserrat.
  20. We completely deserved the win today, but it should be noted that Forfar blazed several of the game's best chances over the bar. Our defence actually looked pretty good but there wasn't much attacking prowess on display, and my first impressions are that neither Oakley nor Baird look like they will score many goals (but more than Shoeshine will) and as a partnership there wasn't much going on at all. First half we were playing into the wind, but resorting to long balls up the park. Attacks usually went up the left flank with Calder, who looked dangerous......until the final ball or shot. Polworth failed to convert a penalty that was softly awarded and softly struck. Vigurs played a couple of smart through balls, but that was about it from us. Second half, the game really opened up, and we moved the ball around much more quickly on the deck.We went behind when Ridgers parried a powerful shot which was nodded in at the far post by the player who reacted first. Equaliser came when Baird couldn't latch on to a long ball at the edge of the box but the oncoming keeper could only block the ball into the path of Oakley who slotted home. A minute later a corner was met by the unmarked Baird at the far post, who had time to take touch and fire home. The only aspect of the game that I might remember in a few days time is the impressive and entertaining performance by Mulraney when he came on, beating players for fun. It's a long time since we've had a winger who was a joy to watch and I hope he can perform like that against Championship sides cos if he does he'll be a star player for us. Overall, though, I didn't think we look like a team that will be competing for promotion. Improvement is needed, with more fluidity and cohesion, but it is still very early days for this new team.
  21. Not so much Necker Island as Snecker Island!
  22. Can Caman please confirm or deny that he owns islands?!
  23. I'm picturing another scenario here. "But boss, you said we needed more social media penetration!"
  24. The internet is full of porn, but I guess the ICTFC Twitter page is somewhere people should be able to visit without having it rammed down their throat.
