Should be there. Last time I think it was The Elizabethan, halfway between Queen Margaret station and East End Park. Not the most atmospheric of places - personally speaking I think I'd prefer a bar in the centre, but I'll see what the other central belters are planning. Meeting 10 am in Counting House and heading to Eddinburgh between 10 and 11 then up to Dunfermline. You joining us in CH?

What are the dates of the games?

Heading up on Friday night.

Brilliant! Loved the Colin Baillie reference again! The Fir Park Social Club has to be one of my favourite football pubs in Scotland.

Good work Agent Munro!

Proctor! Oh dear he really was lost again today! Although, we were all slagging him off, it's fair to say it wasn't his fault we lost the game. He was noticeably dire though. There were small flashes of good football from the team. Foran and Butcher have both said to be patient so i'll try my best to do that and hopfully it falls into place. Lets not forget that Well have a very good team and I think they will go far this season. We could have scored a couple of goals as well, so at least we're creating the chances. Tansey had a great shot off the post. No need to hit the panic button yet depsite some of the comments from folk at the game and certainly no need to sing about Grant Munro when they went 2-0 up!!! Great way to motivate the defence!!! Hopefully we can play our usual against Hibs at home and get a boost from that.

Josh Meekings subscribed to twitter the other day. @jmeeks26

Meekings definetly out for about 6 weeks and Reported Cox will miss 'well game at least. No Morrison at all?! Paineyar (spelling) will hopefully take Proctors position. If Tade doesn't play and Foran is up front on his own again I would include Morrison in the starting line up. He's been in form whenever he has played in pre-season. I suspect he will be on the bench though. I would go with a 4-1-4-1 position. Esson Paineyar Aldred Tokely Gillet Morrison Hayes Tansey Ross Doran Foran Or 4-4-2 with Morrison dropping to bench and Tade up front as well. Here's Meekings last Sat in Aldershot. Another 6 weeks until he can play.

I'm going back to Aldershot even if we don't play. What a place, what a welcome, what a party!!! Here's the locals with us about midnight. Spot the 4 ICT fans

Some fans didn't even make it in to one game..... what happens on tour stays on tour! p.s. I made it in to all grounds.

I saw him play in the game against Buckie and I thought he was pretty solid. Didn't put a foot wrong and seemed reliable. He looks a bit like Aldred, and I thought it was Aldred being played at right back for an experiment. I even shouted out 'well done Tom' after a good tackle. Luckily they share the same name! If he's signed, I'd imagine for Well we will have a back four of Piemayr, Aldred, Rossco, Gillet. That's a very good defence.

Wasn't Scotty Davies - it was Scotty Bevan! Too much Bath cider!

Does your train go direct from Edinburgh or are coming to Central first?

Oh dear. I'm a ***... I just emailed the Red Lion a thank you message, with references to Joe and Craig Levein lol

I'm much more excited about our new signings such as Tansey, Meekings, Aldred, Doran etc than some of the pi5h St Mirren have signed and of course Barrowman for the Pars. Young guys that no team in the SPL wll really no about. This makes them almost uniquely ICT players rather than going for old guard that have been at various clubs. Of course though, the squad is extremely thin so we do need a couple more bodies.

The usual Central Station at 11am for me.

It was that big ugly git. but it wasn't Terry that said it. Although how IHE, Capital Caley, Mrs Dude and yerself remember anything that was said yesterday, is beyond me ! It wasn't Terry? Oh well i take that back! Another rumour then lol

Here's my view on the game. First half was dreadful. Proctor was at fault for the goal i'm afraid. We were looking disjointed and neve looked like scoring. Hayes ran a lot but never got much of the ball. Doran looked uninterested. Not much running from him and a very under par performance. Second half was better. Got the ball passing a bit more and I think we deserved the equaliser. We could have won it at the end if it wasn't for a double save from the keeper. Stand out performances were from Tom 'The Tank' Aldred, Morrison, and Tansey. Aldred looks solid at the back and Tanseys passing is excellent. (Same at Bristol game as well). There was a grand total of 11 ICT fans at the game. About 20ish at Bristol. After the game, for some reason the players didn't do a cool down (unless they stretched in the dressing room?!) I thought this was very odd. Aldershot made 8 substitutions to our 3 and they played a lot of trialists. At our stage of pre season compared to Shots, we really should have beaten them. The supporters of Aldershot were some of the friendliest i've met. The amount of fans that approached us / shake hands etc was fantastic. The bar at the stadium was very good and again the fans were very welcoming. Myself, IHE and Dewsbury did manage to go into the wrong bar on the Friday night where I unwittingly made 'friends' with members of their hooligan element, but luckily didn't see them again. They weren't too keen on my accent apparantly! A pub caled the Red Lion owned by an Aldershot legend was where we based ourself most of the time and what a buzz at about midnight on Saturday night having about 30 locals singing O2B with us whilst dancing on tables and chairs and then falling off tables and chairs. Of course we sang one of their songs as well. Terry was telling us after the game about 2 trialists this week and also echoing Forans comments in the press that we have to be patient. IMO Some of the signings are great and will do well for the club. They are all quite skilfull and it looks like he's trying to create on the deck passing / flowing footbal. IMO Aldred is just as good as Munro as a centre half, but possibly more skill full. They are no where near their potential yet and when they do click / mature I think we are going to see a team that will play wonderfull football. They need to click soon though as the performances are not up to standard. i'm really encouraged by these new signings and if we are patient (and we have to be) we will have one hell of a team. Oh and Novo didn't get a touch of the ball.

cow

Will have to buy my drink in Bristol since I have to travel as light as possible on the plane, or get some Easy Jet surprise charges. I'm sure there will be something I still need to pay for. See you tomorrow! p.s. we need to find a karaoke bar for myself and Govan Jaggie

TB used him as a centre half for all of last season so i cant see him reverting back to RB any time soon. Can see Tokely becoming a Davie Weir like player, centre half stalwart for a good few years to come I am just pointing out your, we have no RB at the club... Your right, Tokely isn't a right back, but he can play there and has played many times there and done a good job. He played right back a few times last season.
