I also thought that, it wasn't just us that thought that though, Billy stark had him down as one of the best younsters in scotland in the paper a couple of months back. it is clear that we only play players that are on a wage at this club. If he was that good then surely there would have been bigger teams in for him when we released him. Not that big a loss for me and cant see him going onto bigger and better things Really? But then again, you do seem to be one those posters that think Butcher is the greatest thing to happen to ICT ever... Whilst location is a big factor in why sides like Hamilton do so well, I have thought myself that perhaps at times ICT have cast the net too far to look for players. There must surely be one or two local guys, perhaps even in the Highland League, who have potential, and with perhaps a bit of training could make the step up to this level. Well it worked for Steve Paterson. Found a few gems in the highland league did he not?

Liam Polworth, and to an extent Kyle Whyte? We've also got Nick Ross and Graeme Shinnie, but sadly we are stuck with a management team, who just don't rate them. Is it not rate.......or is it just that directors/management are still in the "get back up this season" mindset, and experience in ICT's U-19 youth squad pales into insignificance compared to those with even limited experience of games in the lower divisions elsewhere? Perhaps, if/when, we are sitting comfortably in the middle of the table, out of relegation or promotion danger, then the building for the future will begin and good younger players will get their chance to show what they can do. If not, why bother having a youth set-up at all? We neither appear to use it or make money out of it. That one thing I've always noticed at ICT. We rarely seem to bring on players of our own and instead either poach from county or in the past Aberdeen (Duncan, Wyness, Rory Mac) I'd like to see some kids get their chance of the bench. Blood them in. And not look for replicas elsewhere, who probably command higher wages anyway.

First of all I'm not a caller, I'm a poster on a forum. Secondly my 'point' was to help you find an answer to your question, to do so I highlighted what the OP said which answered your question directly :D Anyway I reakon we'll go with: Edit: Took it out as it's the same as Iamthecaptain, and my attempt at putting the names in the correct positions was dreadful. And I only nicked mine from the renegade.

:D Can you not remember Anelka's years in an ICT shirt Kev? Not suprised, he found it hellish trying to get in ahead of Wyness and Co

The phrase "ya can't polish a turd" springs to mind,Jocky's no everybodies idea of a good manager but his teams will always be very hard to beat,was treated very badly at Dens last time round with the Marrs Bonnetti era seeing him out the door as we were in our highest SPL position,hopefully he can see the job through this time. He did sweet FA at Hibs, and next to nothing at Dundee in his first spell in charge... He's got lucky this time round by virtue of having a wee bit of money to spend. That might get him to the SPL but it's unlikely to keep him there. He was only the caretaker manager at Hibs, almost 15 years ago for 13 games and I'd hardly call winning promotion and then leading Dundee to their Highest ever SPL finish in the 1st season up as "next to nothing" And again he only managed Dunfermline over 17 years ago for 8 games so it can't exactly be held against him that he did "feck all" surely? He also had a good record as co-manager at Aberdeen. And what matters most is he is going to take Dundee up.

Well Jermaine Beckford has withdrawn his transfer request. Its not like Leeds have performed well since they beat Man Utd though. a draw and defeat (only 3rd of season) Anyway as one of the teams rumoured to be interested in Griffiths it probably looks less likely for him to go there but you never know.

What a tool he must now feel like. Who would bet with odds like that anyway. I'd rather bet on Mali pulling back to get a draw, knowing I'd probably lose my money. At least the odds would be good.

I can't even remember when he was at Dump Ferm Land, He was at Dundee took them to SPL Im sure then left. Think he finished the 1st SPL season they came up and finished 5th. I then think he took a job in Engerlundshire. Notts County maybe?

I'd be happy to see Stratford and Eagle leave. Wouldn't be too bothered. Dont know how signing Eagle over keeping Vigurs has in any way benifited the club. At least Vigurs knew the club, set up and his team mates well. I think we should try and sell Barrowman. He doesn't play and he's on a good earner no doubt so we may as well try and get something for him. And if an offer we can't refuse for Imrie comes in....

I think thats pretty much what the team will be. Odiambho will probably be involved at some point I imagine. Same with Imrie. Im just suprised we might actually be playing a game of football. Been aaaaageeeeessss!

Hamilton are just taking advantage of having a very good setup geared towards youth and the fact they have a good reputation for it. Also given their location so close to Glasgow they can offer young players the location they crave. As most of their young kids are from that area.

Pretty certain he was the one who took them up last time before leaving to allow the Bonetti's to come in.

You could have got me a pie whilst you were missing the goal I hated being a student with no money. And Clyde pies are good.

He hasn't been getting a game and I think he may have been out of contract at the end of the season. Athletico wanted rid. Probably on good wages so were happy to let him go for nothing. And it was almost 4 years ago he scored that peach for Argentina.

Maybe if we get there before them they could groundshare with us. We are a caring community club... plus the rent money would come in handy.

Well there is only so much you can do with Brewster calling the shots. Some might say he worked miracles in that case.

that is a strange one :D He's decent Sorenson, dependable, but he aint all that great. Not one of the best in the EPL and not as good as James You would have thought stoke would have signed him if there losing there number one keeper :huh: Wouldnt be surprised if Stoke go and try to sign Boruc seeing as Zaluska can probably hold his own for Celtic Better going for Zaluska, he may have only just signed a contract in the summer but I think he'd still be cheaper than Boruc.

I remember the name spider, but i can't remember much about the guy. I thought he had left by then but if he was on the bench i guess not. Clyde were always a tough unit. No real great players but real hard dirty sods at the back (Simon Mensing, John Potter etc) Going forward the one who always (not because he was all that great) gave us trouble was that wee McConalogue. We beat them when it mattered though and Im sure they remember that as well as us.

And I was one of them. It was freezin and I spent all my money trying get to the game. Train late and everything. Was also there for the 2nd last game of the season when we won 2-1. That was much warmer and better a game. Though I was so poor that day I couldn't afford a pie. :( Oh and sorry about my ignorance but which Stewart was it on the bench for both the Clyde defeat and who came on against Celtic. Really can't remember.

You could always try online. Im sure subside sports used to do something like that. Though you may have had to send in badge and sponser and these would be incorperated into a plain strip and they could also be numbered up. Failing that, the main sports shops like Sports Division(JJB)/ Soccer Sport used to do that (plain numbers) down in Edinburgh. I cant even remember if there is one of these in Inverness, never mind if the companies still accomodate the service.

Given the score at the time it does kind of seem a bit of a harsh decision, but looking deeper, teams have to take responsibility for their actions. As do players. They can't continue to use the "we didn't mean it though" excuse. I don't think Dunfermline tried to gain an advantage but rules are rules and this has to be the case to run a credible competition. Though I think it should be a blanket rule- Play an ineligible player and the minimum punishment is a replay. More than 1 count of playing an ineligible player should result in being thrown out of the competition. Dunfirmline should now use this and learn from the mistake and ensure it doesnt happen again. One thing i do agree on though is I very much doubt the Old Firm would be kicked out for something similar, however I can't see something like this happening at one of the Old Firm. And I dont think it is the Journalists responsibility to inform the club, nor his moral obligation to do so. Clubs have emploees to check these things and if they make an error they have to take responsibility.

Celtic obviously. All the musos support 'the peoples club'. I thought Rangers were "the Peepell"

I dont see how Strachan didnt rate Robson. He would have played him far more no doubt had he not been injured for alot of last season. Also Caldwell was Strachans no1 defender. I cant remember him making anywhere near as many mistakes as he has this season under Strachan. Then again all Mowbray teams are a little hap hazard when it comes to defending.

Alan Maitland? as in the former Clyde manager? famed as the manager there who at 1 nil down would bring on a defender to secure defeat. Eh naw. Reckon we could do better than that.
