It would be a great gesture of endorsement if the club contributed to fund in an ongoing modest way. It would show how much value the club places on fan involvement. Say a £0.5 per ticket, added to the current price but dished to the ST? Surely no fan going to games would begrudge £0.5 and support the idea.

I like the podcast initiative/slogan for “Back the team, Sack the Board”. We all know politicians like three-word-slogans so how about; Back the team Sack the Board Crack the problem Ladies and gentleman, I give you Back-Sack-Crack

Shaw is a right winger and is being played in the wrong position imo. I really wish we would take risks in the final third and cross from deep/more often. It was maddening and boring to watch. Back to John Hughes style, hard to beat but don’t have the quality Hughes had on the books. Ironically we look like we need a striking coach, but you’d think with Dunc and Billy we’d be well covered in that dept. Hopefully our philosophy changes and new faces make for a new dynamic for us.

Joint 3rd best defence in the league based on goals against, Big Dunc sings a defender??

Wonder what Liam would say about Gardiner…invite to the pod??

Banning staff on the pod is disgusting. Honestly folks, at what point is sitting doing nothing not an option?? How did other clubs get rid of him?

Morton knew we wouldn’t cross into the box and that we only play 5-10 yard passes. Knowing that meant they could crowd out and double up on ICT when in the final third, how this wasn’t spotted and changed I’ve no idea.

Would love it if we crossed the ball from wide, we seem to want to walk it centrally towards goal and it’s honking to watch. Spoony off injured. We are set up nearly man for man in the middle of the park with Morton and we could do with a change of shape for more width (as well as Carson and Welsh on).

It will be just as important to look after cash flow until the point the revenue from the battery farm is realised. Ongoing losses need to be mitigated until that point. ILI’s business model is to develop and sell. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if the ‘real’ plan is for ICT to sell the project post-development and maybe split profits with ILI. Not a bad idea given ICT would need to raise the significant at-risk capital to build the project out, but that frames the project as a sticking plaster and not a sustainable venture in the longer term. Still, a revenue injection from such a project is a lot better than nothing and well worth pursuing imo.

Surely the Council will condition the consent rather than refuse it? All the conditions have mitigations which the club has addressed. If it’s refused, the appeal will surely be consented. I really hope ICT succeed with this. Clearly a lot of work has gone in behind the scenes which is to be commended.

Welsh and Wotherspoon in the middle of the park is a duo to be excited about.

Brilliant if true

I like the idea of a manager with contacts and a history of no nonsense in his playing career. We are severely lacking in gritty players and hopefully Dunc can be transformative for those softies we have on the books and bring out a new side to their game. We are in a dogfight at the bottom, make no mistake. It’s a gamble of an appointment, a big gamble, but one I’m quite positive about.

The thing that stood out in the club statement about Dodds sacking was “this seasons results have not reflected the quality we believe we have in the building” The issue I have surrounds why the board think the playing staff have quality, when they are absolutely not the judge of playing quality as they are by definition incompetent to make such a judgement. It implies the upper echelons are meddling with a manager’s affairs and that leaves me with a very sour taste indeed about the governance of our club.

Great how the pods can be embedded in posts
