I play better when there are big crowds

Oh dear :(

He talks a good game, Kaka indeed, I am looking forward to seeing him.

Better hope he's Kaka not Kak

Dry wit at its best. LOL

Sorry to go off the subject a bit but that is Inverness Caledonian Thistle translated to Hebrew above.

However if you translate it back to english you get this, "Quality of January is a thistle of Caladonian"

Nice!

To break that apart, it seems like Inverness = Quality of January = Cold.

Wonder what hebrew for 'feckin wet July' is....

Any word on this right back from england-shire? Edwards?

Morris and Lough not getting deals...

Morris and Lough not getting deals...

P&J Story

Pitty about Morris, Lough didn't strike me as anything special. Wouldn't suprise me if we get some more trialists in this week. Pre Season has been really good so far.

Notice Butcher says that neither can be offered anything "at the moment". That could mean that they could be offered something if their trials at Stockport are not successful. And another point, could that mean that they could play against ICT next week?

I think it's just Terry's polite way of saying they aren't good enough.

Terry is not so diplomatic ... --he is just bl..dy frank and earnest.

Dont know if its been posted anywhere cos I've been out of touch with reality over the last week. Well....Stornoway.

According to IC we've signed Chris Innes from St Mirren........................apparantely he'd been offered a deal at RC.

Courier story

Why does his WIkipedia page have him in a Sydney FC shirt?

Not so sure about this one. A 34 year old who was released by St. Mirren, a team who will be towards the bottom of the SPL. Maybe just signed as a back up defender.

He had a trial with Sydney FC last June .

Chris Innes played in a trial game for Sydney FC versus Penrith Nepean United on 10-06-09

:huh:

Tee hee to Ross County who have spent the last month trying to sign him.

I think he is a good signing. An experienced centre half who has played fairly well wherever he has gone. Whether he is cover or going to be a regular player well then we will wait and see.

The fact that he left St Mirren does not really bother me. For all we know he left becuase Gus McPherson left. Looking at the current set of defenders on their books i'd say he was one of the best.

Keep the new players coming Butch...

Hmmmm!! He's experienced if nothing else.

His Wiki page has him down as joining Dundee 2 days ago.

We need experienced cover at centre back and Innes should provide it - Rosscoe hasn't much experience of playing there in the SPL. Not exactly a long-term solution, but in the best case scenario this could turn out to be like Dods signing for us when we were promoted first time around. Alternatively Innes could be a total donkey and ready for the knacker's yard. Time will tell...

"He's got great confidence in his ability and is a good talker," said Butcher.

Yes Terry, but he's not a good footballer.

"I was searching about for younger centre halves, but there are none about. I asked Spurs about taking a defender in only to find out the loan fee was far more than we could afford. There's not a lot out there."

Aha.

I've been desperately trying to sign anyone but this ageing journeyman who the bottom 6 teams play pass the parcel with. But I can't find anyone else so he'll have to do.

this.

I'm fine with Butcher looking down south for young released players to take a chance on as forwards, wingers and midfielders but in the centre of defence I'm happy we've gone for the only other option available, an old experienced journey man with SPL experience.

If Tokely or Munro were injured tomorrow I'd much prefer having Innes as a replacement than some young player with little or no first team experience.

Welcome aboard

I think this is an excellent signing! For a few reasons:

He was one of the players that pulled Gretna up from the 3rd Division. (Just like Tokely, Munro et al)

Has played in Scottish Cup and League Cup Finals.

Will be another old head for the many young promising talents to learn wiseness from.

Is in a key position and will be pushing Tokely and Munro all the way.

Experienced, tall, committed.

I thought a month ago when he was released and had 2 SPL clubs interested that I hope ICT is one.
