  1. Yes we have Rig but, as has been said earlier, many good players in the lower leagues dont want to turn pro simply because they have ood paying full time careers and are not prepared to risk losing all that. When I worked in Grangemouth many moons ago I worked alongside players who were constantly being asked to turn pro but where they worked they had careers with great promotional prospects and a job, till retirement, with good pension and welfare benefits. They just weren't interested in giving that all up. Its very difficult to give up a career for the prospect of another short career when you can do one and still enjoy the other
  2. Dont know how far RF is with coaching qualifications but I believe he has been working on them with support of Kenny C. I'm with Renegade on this one. Lets see RF in a coaching role with under a decent experienced manager for a time before throwing him to the lions. That could be at TCS or it could be at another club. Most decent managers cut there teeth under others and gain knowledge and experience from them before stepping up.
  3. Common sense is to play it as soon as possible. Waiting till the following saturday would leave only a week to get fixtures, times and TV sorted.
  4. Game officially off and rescheduled for Tuesday 12th 19:45 ko.
  5. Penalty to Falkirk results in a goal 2-1 min 62 Full Time 2-1
  6. Half time 2-0 Second half changes: Foran, Williams and Vincent replaced by McArthur, Rennie and Hull
  7. v Falkirk just now at Dingwall. ICT: Brill, Brown, MacLennan, Brown, Gilchrist, Vincent, Sutherland, Wedderburn, MacRae, Foran, Williams ICT SUBS: Hoban, MacArthur, Rennie, Blackett, Hull 2-0 at moment. Ali Sutherland penalty after Foran brought down in box followed by James Vincent strike
  8. Rumour on Twitter is that Hearts are requesting tomorrows game be postponed as they have 18 players down with a bug. They've already called off todays Development League game at Dundee
  9. Everything boils down to money. We have to have a first team squad and we have to have a development squad. Four or five years ago our average player wage was suggested as being around £700 a week. Now its being reported at over £1,000. The club income has remained pretty much the same over the years but the costs have risen. I'm inclined to think that cash is also the reason why contracts are as they are. Each time a player is offered a new contract there will likely be an increase in wage, a signing on fee and maybe even an agents fee to be agreed and paid. If a club is working hand to mouth, with no cash in the bank, as I think we are then that money is not always available. I'm also inclined to think maybe the chairman doesn't want to make offers until he can work out the projected budget for next year. To do that he needs to see what position we finish this term. The club is competing with County for fans and sponsorship in an area where there's not any big industry with loads of cash in their advertising budgets and unless a rich sugar daddy comes along with unlimited funds then I think there are two choices for survival. 1. We continue as we are and make the best of what we've got or 2. We become the first top league part time team in the country. Second choice does not bear thinking about.
  10. I'd say top six is not likely to happen, even if we could win both games. Dundee will probably lose to Celtic on Tuesday but home to Hamilton on saturday I'd expect them to win. I'd also expect County to win at home to Partick. Partick are also still in the mix for that sixth place spot. They've got United on Tuesday before travelling to County. With seven games to go we need to take all the points from United and Killie to guarantee safety. Its all to fight for but I think we'll be ok.
  11. John Beaton v Motherwell Willie Collum v Hearts
  12. All I could find on him was this report for U-13 game http://www.youthfootballscotland.co.uk/southeast/890-south-east-region-club-news/fauldhouse-foxes-fca-news-/2546-foxes-continue-fine-run-with-county-cup-success.html I also thought it 1st April when I read tweet but it was posted yesterday teatime.
  13. Apparently we've signed Aiden McKee on a PC. Not much info on him other than he's from Bathgate and previously played for Fauldhouse Foxes. Believe he's around 18 and a striker and was up on trial recently.
  14. Wales squad Hennessey (Crystal Palace), Fon Williams (Inverness), Ward (Liverpool); A Williams (Swansea, capt), Chester (West Brom), Gunter (Reading), Matthews (Sunderland), Taylor (Swansea), Henley (Blackburn), Richards (Fulham), Davies (Tottenham), Vaughan (Nottingham Forest), Huws (Wigan), Allen (Liverpool), Ledley (Crystal Palace), MacDonald (Bournemouth), G Williams (Fulham), Isgrove (Southampton), Crofts (Brighton), J Williams (Crystal Palace), Cotterill (Birmingham), Robson-Kanu (Reading), Lawrence (Leicester), Church (MK Dons), Vokes (Burnley), Bradshaw (Walsall).
  15. I like nothing better than a good noisy atmosphere at football. However I dont understand the need to stand on seats or to damage them. When visiting fans cause damage the host club presents the visiting club for a bill to offset such. I believe the recent visit by Dundee United to Dingwall resulted in a hefty bill for that club. Thats cash that should be earmarked for other things.
  16. Should that have been Caledonian and Thistle?
  17. She's maybe Polly's granny but a County fan. He still loves her though and went to celebrate with her.
  18. Going by St J twitter not much in it between teams and few chances. Seems draw a fair result
  19. Tight game with little chances. One over the bar for each team 0-0 HT
  20. If we dont want to keep Brill why are we giving him development league time?
  21. I had thought the same from some of their recent results but after watching the derby game I change my thoughts. Arab defence is still abysmal. The only reason they looked dominant at any time in that game was as a result of Dundee sending off
  22. @ICTFC Subs: Foster, Blackett, Ferguson, Hull. We really are short of players
  23. The football team is Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and the company that runs the team is Inverness Thistle and Caledonian FC Limited. I have no clue about copyright of former names though.
  24. Next match v St Johnston Tuesday 22nd March 2pm ko. at McDairmid Park
  25. So we wont be seeing you at another match then
