HT 1-1 FT 2-2 ICT Billy Mckay PT Graham Crowd 3200 Yellow Devine

I probably wouldn’t have recognised them anyway as I doubt they are famous!

I’ve no idea who the trialists were but I’m told one (a striker who’s first name may have been Will) scored twice in a 5-0 win.

Your knowledge of cars is incredible!

Don’t hold your breath for that!!

Jack Brown for Peterhead, Nathan Austin for East Fife, Harry Hennem for Clach and both Ross Tokely and Calum Mackay for Nairn yesterday.

They’d need to allow vehicles to turn right from Stadium Road to go over the Kessock Bridge and someone would need to pay for a frequent service between the ground and the City Centre.

I’ve a few beers inside me after being at (excellent) hospitality due to the kind generosity of my previous employers, so my views may be a bit inebriated. I thought we shaded the first half and didn’t deserve to be behind at the break. The tactical change at half time should have put us on the front foot but we were dismal in the second half and didn’t trouble Arbroath. They didn’t even need to resort to time wasting and play acting to run the clock down. Billy Mckay spoke after the game and told it as it was. We should have gone in 1-1 at the break but we didn’t kick on after half time. That’s 3 points out of 12 so our battle is at the bottom of the table now rather than the top, and every point is a prisoner.

Nice one by Big Dunc and the players involved: https://ictfc.com/ictfc-visit-highland-childrens-unit/

Half season tickets on sale now, which may benefit anyone who didn’t renew due to the previous managerial regime. They are valid from the Morton game on 30 December: https://ictfc.com/join-big-duncs-highland-army-2023-24-ictfc-half-season-tickets-on-sale-now/

Last time he featured was at Nairn in the NoS Cup semi final. Is he injured?

Wotherspoon is a doubt for tomorrow too.

I’ve heard speculation about Canada too, but he was born in Perth and his career has been in Scotland. The Canada link is due to his mother being Canadian.

Kelty Hearts @ 2.05 please.

HT 1-0 FT 2-1 ICT Billy Mckay Arbroath Hylton Crowd 2150

Arbroath remain bottom after Raith scored a winner in the 95th minute, and we all know how we seem to struggle against the side at the bottom of this league….

I note the reference at the end to the North Planning Committee approving a scheme in Alness submitted by ILI.

Another for Oakley last night, unfortunately against us.

Sheridan came in after Big Dunc became Manager. It was clear he was a risk, hence the short term contract, meaning neither party was stuck with the other if it did not work out. I’d anticipate him moving on in January but it is vital we keep the other player signed in the same way, Wotherspoon.

A consolation by Brooks. Davidson with the assist. Full time 2-1.

We always seem to struggle against the teams at the bottom. And now Arbroath are bottom and we have them next….. Brooks on for Wotherspoon. This looks like being our first league defeat by more than a single goal this season. Hopefully the Manager and squad take it as a reality check and get things back on track starting on Saturday.

And now we are 2 down.

Welsh, Shaw and Sheridan on for Gilmour, Longstaff and Mckay. Going by BBC text we are lucky just to be 1 down. Morton have hit the post and had 4 of 11 attempts on target. We’ve had 6 attempts, just 1 on target.

We are 1 down, Oakley of all people. Now we need to repeat what we did on a Saturday and turn this round.
