Was that the 2-0 game? shame too as he looked a decent player, the guy that came on for him was fucking hopeless, had funny hair aswell.

McFarlane? Was a far better player than Scally IMO.

It was Macfarlane, and he is, with all due respect to Scal, a far better player. For a guy who was "fucking hopeless" he spent several seasons in the SPL with Hearts and Aberdeen and played European football with both I think, certainly he did with Hearts. Scally's top league experience was fleeting though he was an important player for us when he first arrived. Whilst both were in the business in the main of stopping the opposition playing, Neilly Mac had infinitely more football about him. He kept it simple but was able to pick out excellent passes and rarely wasted a ball. Scally was at his most effective for us when the opposition had the ball. He's better compared to Stephen McKenna who is far more cynical and has even less football about him but is more mobile and can also cover centre half.

EDITED to add - I will concede though Macfarlane did indeed have an awful haircut.

Actually there's more to it than that - his family shortened their name to Malin when they first moved to the country.

Fair enough, it's still not his actual name now though.

Fair enough, it's still not his actual name now though.

He was fucking hopeless when he came on, just looked totally yards off the pace and my abiding memory is off one off our slower players knocking it past him, might have been Glass, and McFarlane pulling on the guys shirt because the burst of pace(from glass) was too much for him.


My judgement probably is affected by his hair, just looked really,really strange, like no hair grew on the front part of his head...

On an unrelated note Sean O'Connors hair was the dugs baws.

He never had any pace and it would have been exaggerated at that point as he hadn't played for a month or so before that game. Never the less, in a Queens Team of the Century he would probably feature for me and many others and he was an integral part of the best side we put together for many a year. And he was a far better player than Scally ever was.

[Grant228]

I'm happy for him, we agreed though that he was hopeless in that game? Happy days!

Updated with the slightly surprising news that Stephen McKenna has agreed terms with Morton as confirmed by Allan Moore and will almost certainly sign for them on June 1st. Nothing official on anyone else, though Paul Burns agent said in the local press that Burns will be leaving after receiving an offer of less than his present contract. (no surprise there then!).

Not at all, important correction to be made.

If it turns out like the Jim Mc/MacAlister/Alistair/Allister farce then I'd be to blame.

According to BBC Radio Scotland, big Grunt Munro has signed for Ross County. Delighted with that.

[TheScarf]

Russell Duncan has also signed for County. He will fucking stroll the First Division. Great signing.

Why were those two released? The Vigurs one was strange at the time too, although in retrospect I can kind of understand it as he wasn't a regular. But Munro and Duncan seem to have been important players for you guys last year, right?

If it's "Starbucks Chatter" I'd be inclined to believe him. All the top football transfer action takes place in the Starbucks in the Eastgate Centre. I'm not sure why Sky Sports don't have a guy with a microphone down there 24/7, to be honest.

This is true. I have heard a number of ICT and County going-ons sitting in that Starbucks. In fact the main reason I'm looking forward to going back to Inverness for the summer is so I can just set up camp in Starbucks with a dictaphone and a laptop (to reveal breaking stories on here and OTB).

[TheScarf]

Duncan himself informed a member of my family whilst at the TCS yesterday. Said it was a no-brainer given he's lived here for a decade and is settled. So I reckon it's pretty probably he's signed, although nothing official has come out yet.

I hate coffee as it goes.
