You said this last week and not a single other person (to my knowledge has) has. Are you sure about this? Surely something as crucial as this would leak?
If I know about it, it has leaked. You can take it to the bank. I guess there’s legal things playing out, hence the delay.
Edit: Look at Morrison’s comments on Gardiner. It’s out there.

Going by that Courier article, in order for our accounts to be signed off, we needed Statkraft to pay us £350k for the option agreement for the park and ride scheme involving the use of our car park. Now that they've pulled out, probably after seeing that we're a shambles, we're on the park and ride straight to admin. And we might not even get a league licence for next season.
It's a worry that Morrison has gone without him punting Gardiner first, should've been the other way round or both of them going at once.
At least we're not going to Kelty though.
Gardiner has gone. He’s no longer an ICT executive. The timeline is a bit off - these decisions were made last week and despite reports otherwise Morrison was not planning to quit. Effectively they both quit at the same time.
I believe changes at boardroom level means the publishing of accounts can (must be?) delayed. Might be wrong on that though.Essentially Morrison and Gardiner bet the house on Kelty and lost. They realised there was no way back. My way or the highway, as it were. I don’t know anything about Morrison, but you are much much better off without Gardiner.
There’s currently nobody in post apparently capable of communicating between the club and the fans.

Still can’t get my head around players like Miller and Conway not being involved while the corpse of Ryan Jack is running around.
Fair play to anyone who believes we’ll do anything this tournament.
Well, Ryan Jack is a central midfielder and Conway is a centre forward. So there’s that. But quite clearly there’s going to be another striker called up. Only Adams on the bench offered anything in that regard.

Only just tuned in on the radio. It's going well, I take it?
They’ve spent half the game talking about getting stuck in a lift.

Aye that too actually, suppose it’s confidence as well if we can put a few past them.
Championship Manager friendly.

This is absolutely shocking. I could easily see this finishing 0-0.

Can't believe he's not playing Laudrup.
86 year old Brian Laudrup would still probably be the best player on the pitch.

Doak is number 18 according to the UEFA website. Not that I think any of this is actually relevant to final squad numbers.I’m a fully paid up member of the read-as-much-as-you-can-into-squad-numbers gang. But you’re probably right. I still think taking four keepers is a waste of a spot though.

Not according to the Scotland Twitter account he isn’t.

Jesus suffering Christ. This is as insane as the Caley Thistle thread over the weekend.

Forest is number 25. McKenna on the bench is 26. Three sub keepers on the bench all with numbers under 26. Wonder if they allocated anyone 27 and 28...
There’s no number 9 in the squad. TL;DR I’m none the wiser, but it suggests four keepers and a bit of a sweat for Doak.

Because it's the day after the 12 Premiership clubs voted on phasing out artificial surfaces and we're posting about "keeping up the standards".
Yeah. Your social media department is about the best around. They know precisely what they are doing.

Quite possibly. There quite a bit of dispute about what contracts actually were handed out.

Time for a thread for this match and the build up to it.
I'm thinking we start with:
Gordon
McRorie Porteus Hanley McKenna Robertson
Gilmour Jack
Forrest Shankland McGinn
... Basically to:
a) give game time to a few of the rustier/untried players (Jack, Hanley, McRorie, Gordon) and...
b) protect vital and breakable assets - Tierney, McGregor, McTominay
All being well, give the b) lads a run out later, along with a debut for Doak.
Thinking 4-0 Scotland
It’s like in Championship Manager when the game decides your players aren’t going to recover all their energy for some reason. Anyone at 95% or less is on the bench. So basically your normal centre halves plus your squad players.

Bristol City striker Tommy Conway - an interesting read if nothing else.

I’m convinced that was written by AI.

Stewart and McBurnie the most similar styles of play
Stewart is nothing like Dykes. He just happens to be tall.

Right midfielder.
Left midfielder. By many accounts his attitude was not what it could have been. Either way he’s probably yours for the next few years.

Jay Henderson away to Ayr. Given he’s out of contract at the end of the year, I’m guessing that’s the last we’ve seen of him in a County shirt.
Our record transfer fees have been spent on a striker who looks a stone overweight and would rather be anywhere else, a midfielder who can’t play as a 6 or an 8, and a winger who played 15 games and has now left the club.
I get that Brophy is a pure Uncle Roy legacy signing, but the other two have been pretty scandalous uses of resources.

Today’s The Daily podcast by the New York Times is fascinating. Trump basically sabotaged his defence team.

The disrespect to Adams is unreal here.
Absolutely. He’s our best striker and it isn’t very close.

More often than not, I'd be fine with Adams or even Shankland coming in - and Adams might have started all three games anyway - but Dykes is the guy who you'd want defending from the front against Germany.
If Clarke's true to his word then Conway will probably be the replacement called up.
Yeah. I don’t know anything about Conway, but really it’s him or… Simon Murray maybe? I can’t think of many alternatives.

Back with Macron. Hoping for retro minimalist Macron rather than modernist Macron.

"The ICT Thread - From the Premiership to the Seaside"
in Scottish League 1 General Chatter

If I’m being cynical, the Kelty thing has always been a bit of a red herring. It was announced, and in less than a week scrapped. But only after getting the fans on board in opposition, the Orion group to increase its investment in the youth group, and Morrison et al have exited stage left none the poorer.
I’m not an ICT fan - the County Caley derby is more good natured than heated - but I quite understand the worry. ICT’s communication is a shambles. As I also understand, one season in the first division shouldn’t be the end of things. But as nobody at the club seems to have the first clue about how to talk to their own fans, you wouldn’t know that.
