Would this make a difference in the Skacel scenario? I still have a sneaky feeling that he'll be playing on Feb 2nd by hook or by crook... If they are out of administration tomorrow (hypothetical) then I would assume they would be able to sign players as normal if the transfer embargo is lifted by the SPFL but reading OCG's post maybe the embargo won't be lifted until the ending date.

Seen a report of Hearts exiting administration too but that had been denied by the foundation of Hearts.

I see Hearts have scheduled their game with St Mirren for next week meaning Stevenson can play in the semi final.

Quite possibly, I seen a few of the first team players sitting in a room so Yogi might have been in with them.

Just back from the game and defrosting! As others have said it was a very strong team that we put out. I was really pleased with the performance from James Vincent. I thought he has done well to get back from injury and he done really well to get back play the way we seen at the start of the season. Ross Draper and James Vincent were playing in the holding midfield role and we put in a good defensive performance. I was surprised to see Conor Pepper play at Right back today but kudos to him as he was a hard little worker running up and down the right wing. His crosses could have been a bit better but other than that he played really well. Ryan Christie for me was Man of the Match, he is coming on really well as a player and you can see the confidence from his stint in the first team pay off. Calum Ferguson was a second half sub and he done really well to come on and score 2 good goals. Matthew Cooper unfortunately got injured and had to come off early in the first half. I thought Ryan Esson had the best game I have seen him in U20 but in saying that it's more of a testament to the defence and James Vincent and Ross Draper. As has been stated after the Aberdeen game, John Hughes has a massive selection headache but the players have really improved lately.

The U20s are playing at home vs St Johnstone today at the TCS. 2PM kick off, Free Entry.

FT 1-0 ICT

James Vincent replaces Nick Ross!

3-0 Ross County Filip Kiss again.

2-0 Ross County Yoann Arquin. 3 points vital today to open up a decent gap over Dundee United.

1-0 Ross County Filip Kiss

Going by the club twitter feed, sounds like Williams is having a really good game - the lad deserves it!

Ross County have signed Blackburn defender Yann Songo'o on loan till the end of the season.

Factors from the week, Greg Tansey signing and Josh Meekings saying that Danny Devine and him have been training for the game. Brill Raven Meekings Devine Tremarco Ross Shinnie Doran Tansey Greenhalgh Mckay

He played vs Everton this season in the capital one cup

Apologises, I didn't read your post fully and when you mentioned about the free kicks my initial reaction was to post that goal! I think Tansey scored a few free kicks with Stevenage but I can't find them on YouTube.

I know, his free kicks were shocking: Also while browsing for that goal, I found this belter:

If we get offered a million/above I wouldn't begrudge the club if we cashed in Billy Mckay. With signing Greg Tansey today I think Richie Foran would be a good choice up front with Draper and Tansey in the holding midfielders role.

Him playing in the role behind Mckay with Nick Ross dropping back into centre mid would be a good shout.

All I have heard is that the kit sponsorship is running out at the end of the season but not sure if they are renewing or not.

If them 2 clubs are intrested, I don't think we stand a chance. I hope he goes to Aberdeen though then we can get in Josh Magennis on loan.

You never know, some rich Arabian might pop up and decide to buy us for his son to take control of and make ICT into something similar to Manchester City. In all seriousness though, I can understand the frustrations from the OP of not signing 'Name' players but then on the other hand I find it so much more refreshing that we stand by the morals and play the local lads like Nick Ross, Liam Polworth and latest Ryan Christie. OTB can do what they like to buy themselves back up the table but at least by living within our means we are not risking our top flight status. I think what last season went on to prove is that you don't need a high profile team to be successful.
