Highland Capital Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) When Rooney first joined he was pretty average - on the attack he looked pretty dangerous but didn't do much defensively. There were a few games where Robertson tried playing him at right wing but he didn't seem to do that well there. Ironically when he was in defence he looked like a winger playing at full back and when he was at right wing looked like a right back who'd been shunted forward. Some fans even said half-jokingly that we should try him as a striker! His second season though he was a superb player - he actually got even better as an attacker and his ability to defend and sit-in when needed also drastically improved. He went from being so poor he was dropped for an out-of-position Brad Mckay to being one of our most dangerous attackers and resolute defenders.

RiG Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The in game commentary will now feature shout outs to our sponsors. "ICT struggling to break down the Alloa defence but first let me tell you what never breaks down and that's the modern fleet operated by D & E coaches!" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 When I saw that earlier (without reading the article) I assumed it would be a D&E graphic on the match screen, but 'shout outs' from the motormouth commentator? We're becoming more tinpot by the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Queen of the South have come up here and decided to park the bus. I know one thing for sure,if they can park it anywhere near the quality of the D&E Coaches drivers we are going to have a tough time getting on the scoresheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of a match sponsor with some advertising is a good one but "shout outs" during the game is awful. Sounds like something from the NFL in the 80s A few years back ICT starting employing a guy from Moray Firth Radio to do announcements. Like the current club commentator he seemed to have been plonked in the role with minimal training, which wasn't helped by the fact his understanding of football and experience of being a fan was non-existent. Anyway, one game was sponsored by Stagecoach and every opportunity their name was dropped in "Mr X is coming off, Mr Y coming on. Today's game is sponsored by Stagecoach!", "Scoring for Caley Thistle - XYZ, today's game is sponsored by Stagecoach!" I'm sure there was even one point where he started reading the latest scores out while the game was in-play and then ended it with "Today's game is sponsored by Stagecoach!" This is going to be much the same. if D&E are sponsoring the stream that's fine and I would be all in favour of having their logo as a graphic on screen all game but constant shout outs are going to be so tin pot. I've had the game muted for weeks now but it's a shame we have to - there's so many fans out there who'd love to get involved and would be far more capable whether it be through the streaming, the announcing or the commentary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something from the NFL in the 80s I've probably watched more NFL than football games over the last few years so maybe I am somewhat "immune" to it TBH I am surprised the club haven't tried to sell more advertising time with the streams. We get about 10 minutes of watching the players warm up pre match and 15 minutes of the subs at half time. Stick a few adverts up there for (local) businesses for a few more quid.

Fraz Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 We should just go all out and do Love Lines (if you remember it) type shout outs for 2 quid during the game 'Dave in Smithton fancies Stacey down the Ferry' type thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus many of our successes were good players to start with, good potential, but some how they lost there way either due to a previous manager or coaching that was either clueless/unable to get the best out of them or simply they were not given game time to improve and mature. Yeah those are good points. People used to rave about Butcher's recruitment for example and it was good...but there was absolute rubbish too. He might've signed Jonny Hayes, Gary Warren and Marley Watkins...but he also signed Gil Blumenshtein, Claude Gnakpa and the mysterious Andre Martins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
