We are a feeder club. We can't hold onto players because we cant offer 3/4/5 year contracts because we don't know where we will be in 4/5 years. So players come here get noticed and move up. You fail to make an impact here then Your probably going in the wrong direction. It's a situation that has marred butchers reign and I have nothing but sympathy for him. The position he's in is horrendous and not his fault. He's tried to sell players to raise funds but we still can't work our way around it. But players will always move on, what is most important is that we have a stable club financially and that should be every clubs pirogative. Keep the club stable financially first and foremost. Il be happy as long as we have that

Personally thought he would flourish next season for us and he would have got a better move than to a league 1 club, but Stevenage are promotion contenders and have got a good player on their hands. All the best tansey.

*drifts off to sleep* It's all obviously a conspiracy against ict fans, and ict players butcher didn't sign. He'll have Christie and shearer out the youth development programme soon aswell. Give it a rest. It's well documented that spl clubs are making budget cuts. How do you know butcher didn't offer Tokely a perfectly acceptable contract? How do you know that butcher has wanted him out for ages? It's the same garbage you've moaned about all season. It started with "never should've released Munro" now it "he's planning getting rid of Tokely". Will anyone get behind butcher on here? He's backed into a corner every year regarding his budget and sometimes players have to take pay cuts. Not butchers fault if Tokely can't accept it. Butchers brought us through one of our toughest seasons with our spl status intact. Give the guy a break

Don't buy into tade being frustrated by being Played On the wing. He said before he had no problem with it and he actually enjoys the defensive side of it so I see no reason for him to seek a move (if he is seeking a move) because of that.

i was thinking. weve missed david davis since he left. we could do with some more double d signings.

Can we sign lee crofts bird?

St Johnstone are being linked with half the spl right now. Tades a player that will give any defence problems so would be an asset in Europe. This story could have supstence but id put it down to being a slow day. Nothing new is happening right now so I'd say this is speculation.

You can rest assured that Doran will not "kick on there". I certainly don't want to see him have anything to do with ICT. His own thoughts on how he'd perform for us against the club which has his allegiance is nothing short of disgusting. Actions speak louder than words. You obviously weren't at the 3-2 win against his "club which has his allegiance" where he was emense. So do one. Stop trying to s**t stir. He's a good player. But you will obviously never be happy.

Smith could be the next Andy shinnie. He's our top assisted in the Scottish cup yknow

He's on holiday in Thailand. He Irish. He's sunburnt. He's probably in bed with a transgender. One birds not enough for johnny

Stephen elliot fits the bill. Works well as a lone striker can pop up with goal. Only question us wage. Worth a look certainly.

I'm sure I read a tweet of his recently saying he had to pull out due to injury. If not then its brilliant news he's certainly well thought of in Ireland at u21 level proven by how regularly he gets called up. If he stays fit he a couple years away from a first team call up imo. Imense talent to be unearthed in this lad.
-
Proven strikers cost money. We don't have money. So we have to unearth gems. Chamberlain could well be a gem so worth a look

According to bauhaus, Chubbs has been released, and no, I don't understand it either. If bauhaus has info right, and he may very well have, of the nine who were signed to the under 19s from the u-17s in the first year back in the SPL, it looks like only Laing, Whyte and Polworth are still here for next season..I suppose playing in the under-20s. I saw Chubbs a couple of times at least at Wick, and thought he was a cracking wee player (but bear in mind I know sod all about all the modern methods of playing the game). I take along Dundee supporters to ICT/Wick Academy games (and pay them in as recompense for getting me there and back home) so when I ask "what the hell are they doing reacting like that?" and "aren't they meant to be closing that player down..so why aren't they?" they can explain modern tactics/thinking etc (not that I really understand it yet, and probably never will). I do sometimes wonder (being of an era when if you were good enough you were also big enough, as well as old enough) if the likes of Jinky Johnstone or Willie Henderson would ever get a game in this modern set-up which seems predicated as much on height and body strength as on the ability to actually play the game superbly. Just read the remarks on here about the lack of height of Mackay causing problems......and as someone of 5ft 1inch, the man seems to me a veritable giant.Young Ryan Christie looks a very good prospect for the future...but as he is kinda height challenged atm, in Scottish football terms, if he doesn't bulk up and acquire some height in the next few years, will he be kept on however good he is technically? It appears that currently, the average height of Scotsmen is an inch shorter than that of Englishmen.....and I do wonder if the English average is the one taken as the UK norm. As an aside, and just because the research amused me a lot......it appears that Scotsmen are second only to the French re the length of their todgers..(just a shame that Scotsmen also tend to suffer from brewers droop a lot.) Andy Greig has had his injury problems this year. I heard that he is looking to play highland league next year so we will probably see him in pre season somewhere. And he will probably score against us. Whenever I've seen him he has caused defence havoc he's quick has a good touch abit of skill and a good cross. But I've only seen him against highland league opposition. But he always looked the part. I'd put his release down to misfortune. He dislocated his shoulder early on in the season. And never recovered i imagine. The first couple games he helped make up the numbers on the bench along with Laing. So I thought he would be one of the players butcher would look to bring through into the first team. But that's football I suppose.

The key word here is "sometimes". Of course there's a time for it. There's a time to shout and give others a rollicking and there's a time when some simple encouragement is the best method. A point I read once about Brian Clough was that he knew exactly when to be ruthless and when to give the old "arm around the shoulders" approach. The problem with Foran is that is all he does is the former. Everyone gets frustrated, but the way Foran goes about showing it on the field, particularly when it is not needed, must be detrimental to team morale and makes him look nothing more than bully and one likely to cower behind the manager if anyone were to ever question his ayatollah-like approach. My point is that he is one of very few who show passion on the pitch I'm not going to moan about that.

I smell a conspiracy

He has stated before he dreamed of playing for an old firm team or playing in lique 1 in France in the future. It's no surprise if he is looking to sign for a French team but I think he will need to stay another year before anyone really notices him.
