Tarentino eat your heart out you've been waiting for a Brit soccerball classic - plenty of Fat boy Slim backing music and you've got an award
It's all so easy really. Just show shots of Peter Ward goals, do superimposed head shots of Toby and you have a blockbuster.
My name's OSCAR.

Assume it's a case of he's signed for them cheap and if he plays (read appears) in a certain number / % of games, the club can extend him a year still at the very cheap price.

Came on in the 75th in ICT's 4-0 defeat against St J and came on in the 91st minute in their "bizarre" 1-2 home defeat to Partick Thistle.

Does seem odd, feel sorry for the guy, he's better off at a L2 club.

Why 'bizarre' ?

Could be another angle.
I've seen managers make a substitution very late on to allow the player coming off to get a great send off / appreciation from the crowd, usually when they've played a blinder. Check the stats to see who Toby was replacing, maybe it's down to this?

No in every single game, surely.

The lost 4-0 against St Johnstone, doubt any ICT players were being brought off for a standing ovation.

Maybe he was loaned out on the basis that he would be used.. otherwise what's the point? So it's a way of emphasising that he is in and around the first team squad.

Could it be as simple as the fact that he is still very young (21?), they see him as a bit of a development prospect, and want to get him used to first team football as regularly as possible, even if just for a a few mins? Whatever people say about the SPL he's never really had any considerable experience at that kind of level.

I know it's random they've done this EVERY game, but I'd be more inclined to believe the coincidence line than some of the financial conspiracy theories.

Then I reckon you're wrong!

Right here, right now
He's on the bench again tonight. Is it possible to bet on what time a player will come on!?!?
