Pretty sure it was the latter. And Bulvitis has never been capped - just how good did you think he was Ren?!

I think we have been through this before at some point in the past, but I was trying to remember which players have received a full international cap whilst an ICT player. Off the top of my head: Richard Hastings Davide Xausa Marius Niculae Jonny Tuffey Then you've got players who were first capped after leaving ICT: Barry Robson Don Cowie Pavels Mihadjuks And then there are quite a few players who were internationals before coming to ICT: Sergei Baltacha Duncan Shearer Nicky Walker Brian Kerr Thierry Gatheussi Gary McSwegan And finally we have 3 managers who were former internationals: Sergei Baltacha John Robertson Terry Butcher There are also loads of nearly men who were maybe called up to squads but didn't play, or played U21 or B international, but I wasn't planning on dropping down to that level unless anyone wants to! I've no doubt I'm missing some names here, so please fill the gaps.

I've moved some posts regarding interest in Tuffey into the topic that somebody started in Rumour Mill, as the story is worthy of a thread of its own.

So what sort of transfer fee could we realistically expect to receive? On the plus side: - built excellent reputation at Partick and has generally performed well when we've seen him for ICT - got international caps - still very young On the down side - caps are "only" for N. Ireland, and - typically in meaningless fixtures, and - he looked very dodgy v Scotland - nearly all of his club experience is at a fairly low level, Scottish Division 1 - only 3 SPL appearances, and didn't look at all clever for Hamilton's goal - he wants to leave (as its the only way he'll get to play regularly) - we want to cash in I'll start the bidding at ?50,000.

Let's all hope he plays well v Wales tonight.

Hmm, what sort of magazines does he read?

I laugh every time I see this one. Where on earth did you find it?!

Was Dunc not involved with a magazine about Highland sport? Don't know if it is still going, but I remember seeing one of the first editions a few years ago and I'm sure he was named as one of the people behind it.

That's certainly something he should be good at!

How would you make it work Alex? As you wouldnt want to have a seat reserved for someone who is only there half the time. Could a seat ticket be issued in exchange for your match day slip ICT operated a 10 match season book for our first season in the SPL. You swapped a voucher for a match ticket in advance of every game you wanted to attend. Availability of seats wasn't really an issue at Pittodrie though.

Scottish football needs all the money it can get, so these lucrative friendlies/tournaments should be accomodated where possible provided there is no disadvantage to the other SPL teams.

Have you not got YMCA? Best of luck, young man!

With the departure of Rooney looking more than possible, out tactics will surely need to change. It is vey unlikely that we would be able to pick up a replacement who could be so effective in the lone striker role.

Hopefully this unpleasant Ross County parasite can be eradicated!

With Russell Duncan leaving, there's a spare place in our midfield and I'm this guy could fillet.

Forgive my slightly off topic interlude here, but something on the news regarding Ireland caught my attention. On hearing that the Queen enjoyed her visit to the Irish National Stud, was anyone else thinking, Ritchie Foran?

We've forced a lost of players out over the years, but at least we reportedly got £110,000 for this one!

I think you've inadvertently come up with a great newspaper headline for this story!

This is probably the right time to remind people to be very careful what they say regading these allegations. Innocent until proven guilty, possibility of matters going to trial etc.

This is not a laughing matter, the poor lad's career is at steak.

I couldn't work out if D had simply forgotten the at the end of his post, but it appears to be serious! The main flaw IMO is that the whole idea is based around solving a problem that, to most people, simply isn't a problem! Dunfermline got 70 points this season, do people think it is wrong or unfair that they didn't get the chance to battle for the SPL title or at least a place in Europe? Nope. Likewise, next season, should Hamilton be allowed the chance to show how high up up the SPL they could get? No because at the point at which a "split" was taken they hadn't done well enough and were on the wrong side of it, so the best they can hope for is to finish above the teams they are thrown in with. It's like in golf, you miss the cut, you're out, even though you might possibly have gone on to win the tournament if you'd been given the chance to continue. Well you had your chance in the first 2 rounds and you blew it. The odd/even thing then removes the best thing about having the split in the first place, the chance to maximise the number of "6 pointers" and meaningful fixtures at the end of the season. 5th v 9th in May? Yawn. As a minor point, you've then got the difficulty of balancing the number of times teams face each other home & away. At present, equilibrium relies on the teams at the split being in the half of the league the SPL expected them to be in - which is difficult, and contentious. With D's idea, it relies on predicting whether a team will be in an odd or even position at that time!

What was Tuffey doing when Accies scored? Looked to be walking into a crowd of players at the back post, ball never even got that far and the goals were left gaping.

Genius!

Some people will inevitably accuse Killie of lying down today, but that would be very unfair and totally overlooks just how bravely they battled for the first 47 seconds of the match.
