  1. The last time I looked he was wasnt making a wage, and is a free agent, as you say probably out with our budget, don't think any Premier sides will sign him would probably have done so by now, There does come a time when players through age or injuries begin to drop down the leagues, this might be his time..
  2. The one thing that stuck out for ICT was the depth of squad, you were getting played off the park first half, Dodds changed it up and basically changed half the team to get a response and it worked and you could argue you deserved a draw, that squad depth can take you far in this league, Airdrie who quite rightly are getting a lot of plaudits have a threadbare squad and once form and injuries begin to bite in this physical league, results become affected... Saw yourselves at Dumbarton last week and the same arguably should have got something out of that game, still think you will finish second or third this season..
  3. Fantastic start to the season, I cannot see Hutts playing in the first game, we signed DJ for the Falkirk 2nd leg, can see an emergency loan coming in.. This discussion has been done to death and will continue, it is easier to recruit when a team is winning, don't rest on your laurels, we are still short of 3 players, not including the Devenney situation (if there is one).. surely some movement in the next week or so, rumoured at the weekend that Wotherspoon was training with us as well as the kosovan 18 year old winger Geshi ? Any further potential incomings, thoughts...
  4. Decent game today, we competed well against SPL opponents, Dundee were decent enough without really threatening, The pace down the flanks caused us bother especially first half, Rudden was hopeless, seen the lad a few times and never been impressed. Airdrie had a gameplan and as long as Rhys is on the park he will stick rigidly to it, was wondering why Devenney was missing again, first I have heard of his potential move, Aiken was very good I thought, gets around the pitch well, reminds me of Stanway except better. ATS and Fordyce again we're very good, just the one ball over the top caught us out with the predictable Rae foul to follow, after his save the game really picked up with the ref losing the plot and any control he had.. We are short though, take out 2 or 3 players and we are in big trouble , still plenty time though, been saying that for a while though.. Leaders of men are few and far between these days, Rhys McCabe is a true leader and his players give their all for him, who is the last player we had to have such an impact on players round about him Paul Lovering....
  5. Never knew sinky was struggling, that would be a blow, he was our best defender again last week against Dumbarton, he played against Mansfield during the week as well as the rest of the first team, maybe he picked up a knock there..
  6. Agree with most, Kerr has class when he is on his game and happy, under pressure he can lose concentration pretty easily, wish the lad well, interestingly if he signs it's another player moving on a 2 year deal, a number of clubs are doing this, we don't it seems, is this another reason for the lack of recruitment are players holding out for a little more security on 2 year deals, it is a risk, but so is a 1 year deal with vultures like Murray waiting to hoover up our best players, will no doubt happen again.... Looking forward to the Dundee game premier League side, No preseason training game like last week please Rhys...
  7. Think he started out as a forward,.more recently as a left centre back at qos
  8. Any further information on tonight's friendly at Benburb, kickoff etc. Someone mentioned it yesterday..
  9. What we supposed to be looking at here, the Doncaster City stuff. Or possibly the more exciting Fake Taxi at the bottom....
  10. It does look nice although more of a brown diamond than black going by those pics, waiting in anticipation..
  11. Do you guys have Euan East cb on trial at the moment, heard he was heading your way after a training spell at Partick
  12. They could do with rethinking the whole structure, compared to Dunfermline and Falkirk last season, who had a variety of options to purchase, meal deal etc our setup was and is pretty basic.. Onto pricing 3 quid for a small scotch pie, 5 quid for a small steak pie rinsed done with a cup of tap water at 50p The hot drinks and I have been told hot dogs are reasonable though... With us already paying 2 quid a head more to get in due to being up a league, costs go up etc but not that noticeable surely... In comparison I remember the old pie stall at Broomfield at the back of the enclosure in the mid 80s, used to get a Bovril for my dear old da and packet of crisps for myself for running the gauntlet and it was hopelessly overpriced then as well ,
  13. Just seen a couple.of pics, mostly from front, but has it a completely white back of the shirt, I can only imagine what Eddie Hunter would think of it
  14. Personally think it's a bit steep, the hot drinks, fizzy juice are reasonable, and the amount of hot dogs that were consumed must be decently priced although not sure how much... Does anybody know, if we rent the piestall to Christie's, and they sell there products at whatever price to make a profit, or do the club run it , purchase the goods from Christie's and sell at a profit themselves.. .. This isnt a moan just a question...
  15. I thought Dumbarton were decent, good game plan, high press seemed to suit you and we were rattled for spells, 2 full backs were sharp and a bit of composure and you could have been up, in saying that I felt Airdrie were playing well within themselves, Sean Crighton was just Sean Crighton, with Durnan alongside him at the back there is plenty brawn, but little passing ability, could be an issue if teams sit in, would think you guys will be decent this season.. As I said on our thread that Dumbarton strip is a belter ,
  16. Don't bring us into it, yes we played the game like a training session, Dumbarton didn't, we won 2 nil, although we need to improve big time, But like yourselves , like it or not the group stages are treated like a preseason, until possibly the last games if you still have a chance.. Falkirk should pish this league, but the problem is McGlynn a dinosaur, he showed his true colours in the 2nd leg of the play off semi, a cowardly performance and he should have been punted then, surely not getting promoted is unthinkable this season....on many fronts
  17. Good for the football to return and the diamonds getting a decent start in tis cup section, probably more luck than judgement though, game had a very pre season feel to it, we tapped that ball about like a training session, we should have been a couple up by half time, Dumbarton caused us some problems, but there finishing was woeful, would have been interesting if they scored first, we seemed to have plenty gears to go up if it was needed and the subs made a difference, Todorov looks decent, good pace as well for a big guy , Midfielders all look pretty similar, McMaster struggled played too deep as did the defence most of the game, Aiken neat and tidy , we missed McCabe in the middle, expect him to start against Dundee, IMO he must play, will be interesting the first game of the season at Dunfermline when all four of our management team/coaches could easily start the game.... And for what it's worth that Dumbarton strip is a cracker..
  18. Agree about spreading responsibility on the park and dressing room, seemed a bit of a closed shop last season and was discussed at depth on here.. Gal who was outstanding last season just lost the vice captaincy, could this be an issue, probably not, although it says to me that Todorov has taken his jersey, and I was of the opinion of that before the captaincy thing.... Can anybody figure out how to shoehorn Gal and Todorov into the same team without the shape and style of play being affected...
  19. Alloa had an orange away strip last season and nobody gave 2 fucks,
  20. I am sure we will catch up again next season, what league though. ????
  21. Is Brody Paterson close to getting offered a deal, sure he played a couple of trial games.. Murray seems to be improving on last season's squad, that's what he did at Airdrie year on year small improvements
