The U20s played Dunfermline today. We won the game 1-0 but the game wasn't as eventful as 2 weeks ago when they played Motherwell and St Johnstone. Nick Ross got on the score sheet again. I thought that Shane Sutherland had a good game in setting up attacks and keeping hold of the ball but still had a few of his off target shots. Chris Hogg played 45 minutes of football today. Not to sure if this was due to Injury or as a pre caution. This change saw Charlie Taylor moving over to centre back and Ryan Watson coming on to left back. Jordan Gibbons played on the wings today. This was the first time I have seen him play in his "Natural" position since joining on Loan. I thought he done well in the attacks and was a nuiscence for Dunfermline's left back. Personally think he was quite suited in the centre mid position or even the Andrew Shinnie role when they played Ross County's U20 last month. Despite the high winds at TCS, it was again a good performance from the youngsters. Next Home Game is on Wednesday 24th vs Celtic at the TCS. Kick off at 2pm.

The U20 are currently sitting in 4th place joined with St Johnstone. From the games I've seen we do have some good potential in the squad. Shane Sutherland has been scoring a lot of goals and Nick Ross has been put in 2 good shifts last week. In terms of actual youngsters, I have been impressed with Liam Polworth, Kyle Whyte, Ryan Watson and The Georgian Boy over the games I have seen. Ryan Christie's goal last week was definitely something to savour, chipped over the keeper. It's been good seeing Chris Hogg at centre back. Worth mentioning the keeper from last week vs St Johnstone, not sure on his name. He kept a clean sheet and saved 2 penalties. All in all it's very promising and hope we have some of these guys get longer contracts to make the step up to first team,

There's 2 home games next week for the U20s: Monday 22nd vs Dunfermline at 1pm Wednesday 24th vs Celtic at 2pm

St Mirren Statement: http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=22582

I know it's a rubbish source but according to Football Manager 2013, Martin Laing's contract is up in May and Liam Polworth and Matthew Cooper are here till the end of season 2013-2014.

This would have happened today but St Mirren and Ross County rejected that. Fair play to Ross County and Roy McGregor for listening to the fans and not bowing down to the pressure imposed by Peter Lawwell but what are the motives of St Mirren other than having self interest?

Success has gone to County's heads. Hope they get relegated next season and then see how difficult it is financially.

Need to bulk up the striking options next season. Lyle Taylor of Falkirk one option, Kris Doolan of Partick but with them being promoted he will probably stay at Partick. A replacement for Antonio will be needed too, not too sure on candidates. A couple of promising Arsenal youngsters to bulk up the squad wouldn't go a miss. Main thing for next season is keep majority of squad together which we are slowly getting there with.

Yeah he played yesterday and played very good too! Definitely one worth sticking around. Nick Ross was the stand out in the game yesterday. His passing was superb, easily can replace A.Shinnie should be leave in the summer.

While he still has the tendency to put too much power on the ball and hitting it in Row Z, I agree to give him one year. He's a good back up.

Sorry but are you genuine.? Roberts is the most Pish player we've ever had. I thought Phillip Roberts was decent in the Oct-Dec period. After Semi final he's faded since that penalty miss. He definitely has potential, I mean why would a team such as Arsenal sign him if he didn't have any potential. Robert's position is a striker and he's played with us on wings, give the boy a chance in his natural position then make judgement. Robert's is currently injured at the moment aswell hence his absence. To say he's "most pish player we've ever had" Very harsh comment to make, you'd be singing his praises if he scored the penalty at Easter Road and won that shoot-out!

FT Inverness CT U20 4 - 0 St Johnstone U20 Very pleased with the performance today. As the scoreline suggest a very dominant game. St Johnstone were not up to scratch today. First goal came from Shane Sutherland, the second was Ryan Christie with a lovely chip over the keeper, Nick Ross scored and Shane Sutherland grabbed the last one to finish it off. St Johnstone missed 2 penalties in the second half. 1st one hitting the post and the 2nd the keeper saved it.

Walk to parkhead in your kilt - problem solved!

Scotty this was posted on SPL twitter with TV games.

I think that is very unfortunate that the train times are not easy to plan around however there are other means of travel. Supporters Bus, drive down or hire mini bus etc. Dundee United will be fresh off a Semi final on Sunday with Celtic then play Motherwell on the Friday night. If Motherwell win then we can as OCG says spoil the party. Celtic park should be full so hopefully we can bring a down a decent crowd and pull of another upset! Bring it on!

TV games for us are Celtic, St Johnstone and possibly County. Them three are early kicks off. 2 home games are Saturday 3PM

Alan Mannus up for grabs - yes please.

Celtic could win the league without kicking a ball if Motherwell slip up on the Saturday (unless they are schduled a sunday game) then they would have nothing to play for when playing us so really it's a moot point.

According to Jailender(Ross County fan on Twitter) All teams have to play 19 home games in the season, therefore We would have 2 Home and then 3 away where as County would have 3 at Home and 2 away.
