Only names I can think of containing a "y" like that are Dylan Falconer, Dylan Mackin or Ryan Watters. Mackin looks the closest, but it doesn't look much like any of those.

Not really, though.

McFadden falls into that category too, then, presumably?

Depends on whether his wife will let him move to to Australia this time, I imagine. I'm sure Hibs would be delighted to have him, though. Water under the bridge.

Not until the end of the month when his contract expires.

Got him on the cheap Had a great few seasons. Sold him on for a tidy sum. Got him on the cheap again. One of our best pieces of business ever. A guy who always gives 100% and a decent amount of talent to match. Sorry to seem him go, but seems like the perfect time for him to move on.

I think it's quite possible he was in our top salary range, but that's different from asserting it as a fact. Doesn't make any difference now, though. It also reminds me of one of my favourite Far Side cartoons, so that's a bonus.

So back on topic, the list of former players has officialy been extended to the following:

The whole "highest earner" thing is another one of those "say it often enough and it becomes true" things people love to repeat with nothing to back it up except that other people have already said it. Whether it's true or not, I'm sure you're right that a major restructure is in order. One which might still see him leave anyway.

Official website says we are discussing a new contract with him.

I still think Robinson was bang on. Expecting professionalism from professionals (including experienced pros) during a game is not a big ask. After the final whistle there is plenty of time for sentiment/celebration/fan appreciation/pennance.

I have. He fitted in perfectly with the ability levels of most of our squad this season.

We don't pay high wages, and sell players on when they have a year or less on their contracts. That deflates their value. We have done well with guys like Marvin and Erwin (and to a lesser extent, Hall) and need to continue in that mould of developing the youngsters and finding "cheap" lower league talent. Not everyone will be a gem, but it only takes one 500k deal to make it worthwhile. The alternative is to do a Dundee Utd and tie down everyone on higher wages and 5 or 6 yr contracts, selling the occasional 1 million+ player. And we can see how that worked out. As for Moult, we should try something creative with add-ons like 300k up front then 20k per goal for his next 3 seasons plus 25% of future transfers.

The level of a struggling Premiership team with a dodgy defence, weak and uncreative midfield and a strikeforce that scored 1 goal or less in 25 league games?

Agreed. Not that I'm a mod, but I've had this discussion with Yabba in the past too. Unless something has crossed the line from a legal perspective, I think it's better for other members to call out posters as and when appropriate.

When was the last time you think we bent over?

Only if ICT have had about 10 years previous of warnings + at least one play-off incident with Rangers with.

Nah, Steve Robinson thinks we can win some of our games.

Not sure, but I think I'm equal 8th on that list.

Given that ICT were fighting to avoid automatic relegation and we were on a day trip to Inverness, the only surprise is the narrow margin of the inevitable defeat.

Sounds like once we heard Accies had an unassailable lead and our game didn't matter, we decided to start the summer holidays 30 minutes early.

See he's getting another run out this afternoon.

I saw that tweet too. Great stuff.

We got more out of him than we did Pearson, though, so maybe a good job he was still on the books.

Only if it's an 11 team league next season.
