Whats this nonsense that there arent enough Scotland under 20s strikers and thats the only reason Rory gets in. I've read european reports that consider this bunch of players one of the better under 20 teams in the world (meaning they'll bow out 1st round) And the strikers are there. so if rory can get in, he must be doing something right. Give him time. Its not easy playing for a lower SPL team where chances are more scarce, especially when your only other experience is reserve and under 19 level etc where the pace is much slower. Perhaps farming him out to a 2nd or even third division team would do him the world of good. It worked for both Miller and Riordan (Cowdenbeath) and the current scotland no1, Andy Webster started at that level, Dargo was at Raith, Wyness developed at ICT as did Mark Brown and Barry Robson at us and before that in the 2nd before moving to become Dun Utd (ok his career has went downhill :blah01:) But there is no point in booing him no matter how bad he is. I doubt it will make him play better.

Im gonna answer all the questions currently ongoing on this thread. a) Who would i rather have in the team disregarding contract issues - Dods by a mile. Hes' made the centre half spot his own, is dominant in the air and scores extra goals to. b) who should play between now and end of season - Caff. We'll never know if he is going to cut the mustard if he isnt played for an extended run and given that Dods is offski then he deserves a chance. c) Rossco is a right back end of. I'd hate to see him wasted at CB and miss his excellent runs down the right flank.

John Sutton seems to be developing a knack of scoring against us so perhaps getting him would stop him doing that me thinks. Hey the old firm do it so why not us!

My mate just told me about this...I cant find it anywhere online other than Strachan wants him to play on loan at a team who play summer football, ie the USA or a Scandinavian team. He's already ruled out a move to Mo Johnstons Toronto because of the artificial pitch. But according to this source of mine he is being linked with ICT. If even he was the fraction of the player he was before injury i'd still say it would be good for ICT

Perhaps this is why ICT were so good away last year....with all the tinks we steal we should be ace at travelling! :015: :015:

Is it really THAT bad clacher? :024: We're still 8th, i think we've stalled a little but theirs next season...wait till the summer before you completely write him off

i'd take dorus as back up for fraser tho...

How did falkirk beat the tims... :010: Still think when we avoid relegation we have Midden and Falkirk worse than us. (Stokes has probably saved Falkirk in my opinion)

After yesterday, im really not looking forward to this....We can but hope!

Altho i dont know how many people will pay for his name on the back of their replica tops :021: unless theirs like a special offer in that you get the constanants free. It'd still cost about a grand :015:

Still thought it woulda been nearer 5000. Im as much to blame as anyone mind :023:

Thats why i only said he's done ok... He's definately made mistakes and we are not getting results we are capable of against "lesser" oppositon but we need to strengthen heavily in the summer and cast out the dead beat and then judge CC

Bayne gets way too much critisism...He signed a pre contract when we were in the 1st and probably was bought planning for the 1st division. He's stepped up and improved greatly in the last year. And altho he doesnt score hatfuls i think he always gets around a half dozen. And he has an excellent record v the old firm as well! Mcswegan had me bullied for signing for us....I tried to somehow excuse it. It was a hard ask, impossible really! :017: Good to see Dargo back. And Macallister and Fraser still are learning - give them time. Hart perhaps is no longer required altho i always liked him. Morgan again is young but cant get in the team yet and should be given time. CC hasnt done great but with 2 wins against Rangers and a 9 game no loss run he's done ok...We dont have a budget and we dont have a youth system of any note and we are slap back in the middle of nowhere location wise. Sorry but thats a tough task for anyone!

As we had a free kids promo going on yesterday, with an attendance of 4447 could it be deemed a success? :024:

great to hear, and Rory can only learn from him as well!

you could easily say that about being black tho. Nothing wrong with being black so nothing wrong with being called it and that to be offended at being called it would be racist......Now for some reason it just doesnt quite sit right that, does it? :024: However i hate the idea i cant say what i like. If someone is straight and take offence at being called gay i want to annoy him. Its just for the craic eh! :023:

Not really seen enough of the lad to judge him but im always in favour of giving youth a chance. Alot of good young players benefit from going on loan. Craig Gordon did i recall, as did derek riordan and look at stokes albeit different levels. But he could develop as a sub too! :001:

None of this really matters. Whether you were a caley fan, a thistle fan or neither before the merger -they no longer exist. Like Clydebank and Third Lanark before them are no longer teams. They are confined to the history books.... If either of them were even worthwhile putting in there. Well there is 1 reason - ICT, the caley jags! Yes, this great team rose from the merging of these two diddy team to become an SPL side capable of beating the biggest in the country home and away. It doesnt matter what you call the team because they are all parts of a name of the only team that matter - Inverness Caledonian Thistle. So lets get behind them! :021:

Nakamuras corner defo went out (outswinger) of play for their 1st. Linesman failed to notice. :023: I agree with Romanov - Mowgli's :017: Why was a striker brought on in the 86th minute over a defender?! :024: I had a really bad hangover and that didnt help. not one bit. :009:

That is one of the most ridiculous things i've ever read. 1st he accuses our ref's of being biased. Perhaps their governing body won't allow him to buy in like the lithuanian ones do. Its blatantly obvious he will have a large influence on refs in his homeland and because he can't here he trys to ridicule our game. To make it worse he then accuses the scottish bodies of bribing a ruski (is he not an ex ruski?!) Does he not know anything. Scotland has little or no influence on the European game. Especially one that comes from his motherland. Do you think he listens to supporters moaning about refs being biased in the general way they do when their teams lose, and actually believes it. He doesnt have a scoobie and rants complete nonsensical drivel! Go Home and don't come back. Your not wanted and your getting irritating, like the preverbiale fly that pesters the unwashed (hearts supporting) man! And whats all this nonsense about Mowgli, Who's Mowgli and what does he do!

Former Kilmarnock superstar :017: is playing against Newcastle in the UEFA cup tonight for european giants Zulte Waregem! Imagine if he scored :021: :015:

I hate this Euro back door. I'd rather just they got rid of it. It has no fairness whatsoever. If your not good enough to get into Europe via the league or Cup then you shouldnt be there!

i might try and get a ticket for this one

Barry Robson is definately another who should be in there.

I take it Duff will be trying to get a ticket for the game then :016:
