It was the 4-6-0 that lost it for me. I'm Scottish yes, but not really of the patriotic flagwaving type. I have little interest in the Scotland team and have never seen them play. Nothing much to be proud of and little to get excited about for me I'm afraid. Bit strange why you insist to give your opinion on something you don't care about then.

leveins record: won 9, drawn 3, lost 7 nothing clownish about that. nothing to be proud of? how about the fact your scottish, these players represent you.

You don't say! Scotland are rubbish. That is all. Last sentence sums up all the problems with our game. It isn't we are pish, it's Scotland are pish. It's not our league is pish, it's the spl is pish. No pride.

We went with an attacking team, and it didn't work. This USA team beat Italy, and if they get anything from brazil in a few days I won't be surprised. Very good side with a very good manager. 5-1 was more than I expected, but when you play with 5 attacking midfielders, then what do you expect. The Team lacked balance for me. Charlie Adam, Darren fletcher, Alan Hutton, James Morrison, and Jamie mackie all missing. That's pretty much the spine of the team. Charlie mulgrew had a shocker, can't say I'm surprised though. Webster and Caldwell didn't work, and Bardsley, was rarely seen in the game. Think we have to hold up our hands and say we we were beat by the better side.

Just seeing cowies coming on. Gamechanger?

Really impressed with the USA. Play some really good football. We arnt firing on all cylinders. Bit of experimenting from Levein tonight. Very brave selection. Not seen us play with so many attacking players for a long time but right now it doesn't seem to be paying off.

I didn't say it worked or not. You said he didn't settle on a formation. Personally I think the 4-3-3 works better that the 4-2-3-1 but this season we havnt had our wide players fit all season so we very rarely seen it. My main criticism of butcher and I have few is his lack of a plan b. when our backs against the wall we struggle to adapt and by the time butcher makes the substitutes needed he's to late the games lost. This season is the only time he hasn't been able to settle on a "best 11" and play them over a run of games. Because of injuries. In years gone by he's had that luxury, he's used it and he's got success from it.

He plays 4-2-3-1 almost every weeks towards the end of the season he went with a 4-3-3 but other than that he rarely changes from that. Hogg, a.shinnie, and Aaron doran all were injured for a huge part of the season and all wouldve been playing every week if they were fit. No coincidence with doran or shinnie in the side we win more than we lose.

"One djebi-zadi"

rossco had a period earlier in the season when he was shakey. theres no denying it. i critised him myself, he didnt look himself to me. he had just had an injury aswell (putting rest to the claims that he is superman). foran, we can say it he was pish at the start of the season, no denying that he underpeformed, but as a striker you also need service to feed off foran didnt have that luxury, his frustrations were justified. but on a whole id say both had have fairly solid seasons. every centre half makes a mistake and every striker misses a chance. look at messi and robben both missing penalties recently. everyones mortal.

bout time the english have been dsoing the same to us scots for centuries edit:original didnt make sense. (dont post late at night)

@JoelByrom: Big thank you to every1 at Stevenage FC. Been an amazing 3 years and enjoyed every minute. Would like to thank the fans for there messages. What ever did we do before looking up players on twitter?

Luke if you get worried I WILL be worried! Ask me if I'm worried in June. There's 2 things that worry me the demise of ict and armageddon. I am worried about being worried about not having enough players next season. So in a way i am indirectly worried.

The first weeks in june is important if players havnt signed contracts by the 31st then we will know they arnt coming back. So we will have I replace them in that first couple weeks. I'm not worried if players don't sign butcher will have players lined up to replace them. I expect all the players bar jonny who have been offered contracts to re-sign. Owain, and Hogg will also get new contracts Aswell. And Tokely is in limbo I havnt a clue what he's gonna do. If what I think will happen doesn't then I will be worried.

Bring on the wags of each team and have a mud wrestling battle royal. The last women in wins it for her team

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

Welcome to hell milo.

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.

Nice and constructive

Don't want another duff saga. A simple yes or no. If yes great and if no fine we will get someone else. Understandable

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?
