Great news about Draper, and indeed Esson. I'm sure Esson has a couple more years in him. He has never let us down. If we cannot afford 3 'top' keepers once Brill is fully fit again, I have no great worries which one of Brill or AFW goes. They are both good keepers, and both would want, I am sure, 1st team football.

Maybe its burned out now though. Time to let the dust (and smoke) settle!

Absolute disgrace that he should be denied a Cup Winner's medal. Let's make sure he gets one this season!

Another one to keep an eye on for 'ex ICT scorers'. Or, maybe I won't hold my breath!

Haven't yet seen confirmation on either club's website that this deal has gone through. Wonder if there has been a hitch, or change of plan?

Well done Wyness101, I'd even missed the fact that Darren had moved from Forfar to Brechin.

Last week and this week are games we should be winning. Top six, but not out of the relegation mix by any means. Two tough league games coming up with Cup game in between. Lose all 3 and our season would be in the mire. But that can't happen, Can It?

Great news. Just about our best ever signing imo.

Tonight (22Jan), Adam Rooney scored the only goal, not a penalty for a change, in Aberdeen's 1-0 win over Dundee.

Gringo 12 points! No wonder you got the results up so quickly.

And 1502.

Well, just watched that with two Rangers fans. (OK, I don't have many friends). Much better game than the first leg at Stirling. Two cracking goals we scored, worthy of winning any match. At last Mutumbo shows what he can do for more than the odd second or two. I also like Storey's energy, and , unlike an earlier comment by a poster on this thread, I thought he showed some excellent touches, especially his contribution to the second goal. Fair play to Stirling, they gave us several dodgy defensive moments, but we managed to hold them at bay. Overall I'm satisfied with the performance, and especially the win. Onwards and upwards, a couple of good home league wins before we go to Motherwell will see us all full of hope for the rest of the season. Go on lads, you can do it.

Totally agree with this. I just wonder how much of this article is actually what Hughes said, and how much is journalistic spin. I certainly hope there will be no fall out between Hughes and the players over it. I'm sure Hughes is experienced enough to avoid the article creating a problem.

JJ Hooper who was on trial with us pre season, scored his first goal for Port Vale today (Jan 17). He is a regular bench warmer, but got on in second half today and scored a consolation goal in a 3-1 loss at Millwall.

A shy young couple are getting married and each is concerned about how to tell each other about hygiene problems they have. He has very smelly feet and she suffers from bad breath. Anyway the wedding day comes and after the reception, eventually they are alone in their hotel bedroom for their first night together. Being very shy they agree to undress for bed in the privacy of the en suite bathroom. The boy goes first, and while getting ready for bed he resolves to tell his wife about his foot problem as soon as they are both in bed together. Back he comes, and she goes in to the bathroom to get ready. As soon as she returns, the boy gathers up his courage and tells his bride about his problem. She is extremely understanding and assures him there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Then she gathers up her courage and says "Actually, darling, I have a confession to make too". The boy says " Really, dear, don't tell me, I think I know what it is" Much relieved, the bride says "I'm so pleased, darling, what do you think it is?" And he says "You ate my socks in the bathroom"

Quick thinking! A man walked into the produce section of his local ALDI supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask the manager about the matter. Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some old ******* outside wants to buy half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned around to find that the man had followed and was standing right behind him, so the boy quickly added, "and this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way. Later, the manager said to the boy........... "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier, we like people who can think on their feet here, where are you from son?" "New Zealand, sir," the boy replied. "Why did you leave New Zealand ?" the manager asked. The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but prostitutes and rugby players there." "Is that right?" replied the manager, "My wife is from New Zealand”. “Really” said the boy, “Who did she play for?”

That will make 3 TV appearances in about 4 weeks (Stirling, Hearts and Aberdeen). Great for me and others who can't get up to Inverness so often, but probably bad for crowd numbers, and perhaps, atmosphere. Compensated though, I presume, with 3 good pay days for the club from the TV companies!

Anyway, poor lad would have found it too cold for him, sitting on our bench at the Longman.
