Depends on extent of damage. If snapped then he's finished. If, as I suspect, its a tear of sheath then it depends on length of tear and success of surgery to pull it all back together. Until someone comes forward and states the extent of damage then I wouldn't right him off just yet

Pinning this topic for anyone following the development league (U-20's) and for any words of wisdom, match  reports etc.

First league game of new season is 19:00 hrs k.o on Tuesday 23rd August at TCS v Motherwell.

At the moment all matches appear to be scheduled for Monday or Tuesday nights (19:00 hrs) but that could well change. Full fixture list can be found here http://spfl.co.uk/development-league/dev-fixtures/

BBC Gossip:- Inverness CT defender Kevin McNaughton's season is over after he underwent surgery on an Achilles injury picked up in the weekend defeat to Ross County. (Daily Star)

Well ICT's ticket costs directly had an influence on yesterday's attendance, I think I heard the official attendance was given as 4k + but it certainly didn't look that much to me anyway

Both home and away supports very sparse, think it's time that the commercial  side sit down and rethink 

Would be interesting to see all the attendances at Highland derbies over the last 20+ years to see how yesterday's compares

Pity Sneckboy wasn't still about or banned as he would have these figures at hand

The ref is from Dingwall

Shotts is in Dingwall is it?

Isn't there houses around Cromwell Road/Lotland Place area. Used to be a grotty wee pub there but think it was converted to flats. I'd imagine these to be closest to stadium

What size of crowd is there?

4204

That's it. I'm sick of all this unrest so I demand that our football club take the name of the company that runs it. INVERNESS THISTLE AND CALEDONIAN FOOTBALL CLUBS LTD

Many people seem to get awfully worked up by not knowing how many season ticket holders there are. I ask this. What would a figure actually tell you? Any club can put out a figure but its actually meaningless. Are they all full paying tickets? Are they concession or frees? Its the same with crowd numbers at game. How many are little kids? How many are actually watching and understanding the game? 

At midweek press conference prior to Partick game Foran stated that Josh was back in full training and could be available for selection very soon. Thiswas translated by a twitter / facebook account as Josh available for Partick. A typical Chinese whispers scenario

i.e. can any first team players play?

Had a look at the rules and they just say anyone who qualifies to play in development league

Josh is expected to be available this Saturday as well

With the Unseeded being: Inverness, Peterhead, St Johnstone, Dundee U, Motherwell, Queens, Ayr U, Hamilton

Think I've got that right

What's wrong with #togetherNess on the hoodie? We were more than divided last season and calling for unity was a good call. As for this cheesy line under the club badge, I just gave Charles Bannerman a greenie. Something must amiss! Will Ross County now follow and put 'more than just a football club' under their badge? The tension is too much to take

No. There hoping to cash in on us by using 'Forever in their Shadow'

This is getting ridiculous now has anyone started a petition yet? 

What's HBO?

But if you want future fixtures just go here http://spfl.co.uk/development-league/dev-fixtures/

Celtic - no cash gates

Rangers - no cash gates

Aberdeen - no cash gates

Ross County - no cash gates

I'm not hearing any complaints from any of them.

10 or even 9 should see us through. 8 is a big gamble.

At the moment there are five second placed clubs on 6 pts. All but one of those have 2 games to play. Only 4 best 2nd place go through so we have to aim to win the group and that means two wins and hope for a DU/Dunfermline draw

If we win both our remaining games we win the group regardless of other results.

How does that work if DU win their final game? Both teams on 10 pts they have far better goal difference

I'm sorry.........I don't want to be negative as we face , yet another, new dawn........but I have to agree..............I smell trouble. We do not have a good record when it comes to organisation around the stadium; whether it is the stewarding, the car-parking or the club shop. I fear the worst. We are supposed to be providing an attractive product for the customer...............a customer who has many alternatives these days. It MUST be hassle free. Whlist I am aware that the club is not run for my benefit...this could be another nail in the coffin for home visits from me. The A9 is scheduled to be pretty much a no go area for the foreseeable; After a 3 to 4 hour drive I like a pint with my mates in the Innes.........I don't wish to head straight for the end of a very long queue. If this is a cost saving exercise I fear it may back -fire. It is looking increasingly likely that, on the morning of home games, I will be getting the golf clubs or the fishing rod out.

Cant see it being a cost saving thing as turnstiles will still be manned.

Yes but you can also buy your tickets online and have them posted to you (ICT do this to be fair), collect them from a fast ticket machine, buy them online and get them at a fast ticket machine or buy them online and print them off at home.

I know the club aren't flush with money but maybe they could look at one of those options to help out supporters? People want things made as easy as possible for them so small hindrance or not a number of folk will be put off by this.

You can buy your ICT ticket online and have it posted out. Or you can phone the ticket office and have it posted out.

Is this not the system used widely on the railways? Buy your ticket at the ticket office and then board the train?

Don't usually get hundreds of folk arriving to buy train ticket at the same time.

Personally I only see this as being a problem for cup games and less so for league. Majority of fans are season ticket holders and, in the past, the walk ups like myself only had one cash gate to queue at and to be honest I've never had  to queue for long. There are a number of clubs, including our friends across the bridge, who don't operate cash gates and they seem to manage without problem.

What about the traditional way of picking tickets up from the Innes Bar and arriving 10 seconds before the kick off.

All get to the Innes by one and choose a runner to nip down to stadium for tickets and hey ho

If we're going to progress in this comp two wins are an absolute must and winning the group means we don't draw against Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts in first ko round.
