It would be good (if possible) if the club cleared this up with some official statement

As many have stated our pre season is crucial, at present we have only weakend the squad so yes I am very worried, do I trust Butcher to fix it, no I am afraid not.

Lets face facts if you cant keep a hold of Tade what chance have we got of getting the likes of Riordan or O'Connor

Luke I admire you unflinching postivity towards everything ICT, I hope its not to big a shock when you realise everything is not as rosy as you think

Think Alex was meaning that Hayes was panicing as it came out before he informed ICT, well thats how I read it anyway

Think you have hit the nail on the head Alex, I very much doubt AFC would put up an official announcement unless it was true and subject to a medical he will sign

Agree that 1 year deals are a huge problem, St Johnstone a club with a similar size of crowds to ourselves have offered Tade a 2 year deal and who can blame him for accepting that.

Very disappointing choice of club but no surprise he is going ,

Good on TB, numerous complaints from myself included that things were not sorted out early enough last season. He needs to know in good time who is committed for next season and if there are not have time to find replacements

Sorry but I think you are being taken in by TB spin. What respect did he show to Munro, none and I don't doubt for a minute he would do the same to Tokely

Excellent news, well done to the club for sorting this out

thanks very much Scotty that's fixed it

Hi When I know come onto ICT online all the writing on my screen has gone very small, not happening with other sites, realise its probably something I have done but cant figure it out, can anyone help please?

I do not think that club is in a position to keep players on for loyalties sake, I am afraid we don't have the financial clout to do this as nice as it would be. However I think there are valid footballing reason's to keep Tokely on and I worry that TB will force him out the door and replace him with an inferior player without the passion for the club, after all it has happened before with likes of Munro. I know things can't stay the same for ever and players like Tokely's time will be up soon but please lets make sure we have adequate replacements before we do this.

To say that last season was a let down is an understatement, but a new one is upon us and I think this could one of the most important pre-seasons in our history. TB has to get it right and as he is the man in the job we need to get behind him and hope that he does get it right.

When the final whistle went against Hibs at the last match and this horrible season was over.

Good luck, had some good games for us but probably right for him to move on now

I think that if ICT did return to Division 1 then part time might well be on the cards this time

not to excited at retaining McKay or Tansey...I would imagine Black will be looking at move down South for more dosh

With season tickets, merchandising etc do the ordinary fans not invest enough?

Personally I would rather stick with present design with a few tweaks here and there to freshen it up...most clubs have a strip they are identified for no good chopping and changing every season

I think this is a difficult one but I have to be honest and say no I wouldn't put in more money to uphold sporting integrity as I have more pressing and worthwhile causes I need my cash for. I would be curious to hear all the thoughts of the other SPL clubs, yes for the sake of sporting integrity they should be forced to start again in Division 3. For the likes of ICT could they afford to lose the revenue of the SKY deal along with Rangers visits up here? Our attendances are dwindling and while the County gates will be a great help these should be looked at additional income which the club need as opposed to trying to replace income that we have lost. What I don't get is how the SPL and FIFA have totally different stances on sporting integrity.

The Tryst ... and they were still doing underage drinking in the 80s ! Was it not also known as Treetops for a while, possibly AFTER it was the Tryst? Was it not 'The Hebridean' after 'The Tryst' ? Yes, I believe it was ... and after that the downstairs bar became "Rumours" while the upstairs changed names to "Waves" ... Think that was other way about and downstairs was Waves

Good luck to all the hardy souls involved...respect!!!
