  1. Today
  2. Yes, that was my point. The football gods do indeed work in mysterious ways.
  3. I agree. Lewis was just coming into his best years when injury struck. A dedicated, intelligent player. Hope he is fit very soon and still wearing an ICT shirt.
  4. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AMABc8xwo/ Seen this and thought of many entertaining half time escapades involving Lionel Nessi eggs and spot the ball style grids.... Maybe just easier to get a highland cow....
  5. Yesterday
  6. Good point, we had a mare there in August 2023, an own goal in the first minute and a complete defensive hash up for their second. Billy Dodds got quite a bit of flak that day It feels like an entire lifetime ago Anyway East Fife have the edge over Annan in the play-off, I'm hoping they can close it out
  7. Last week
  8. Well deserved accolades for an exciting young talent who shone brightly in a difficult administration hit season. I'm certain Keith will go on to greater things given his commitment, determination and undoubted talent. Good luck at Dunfermline.

    New ICT Podcast

    Hark! A new episode of The Wyness Shuffle appears!
  10. Thanks Caley D. We certainly intend to continue our bit to support ICTFC and can’t wait for season 25/26
  11. Alan Savage in the P and J today quoted as saying ' “We’ve now reached 95% backing from shareholders (for his offer) and it shows people are getting right behind the club again. “We’re getting closer to the finish line, and I’d encourage the few who have yet to sign their forms (for administrators BDO) to do so in order to allow my deal to happen.” Trust share transfer was key moment The supporters’ trust, who have 730 members, have a shareholding in the football club with enhanced voting rights of approximately 10%. A special general trust meeting was held last week, after which a trust statement said: “We are pleased to confirm that the resolution to transfer the trust’s shareholding in the club to FC Inverness Limited was agreed. “This transfer is subject to the club exiting administration, with the CVA meeting of creditors taking place on May 22. “A lot of work has clearly gone on behind the scenes to resolve the issues that have prolonged administration, relating to the disparate shareholding, the loans and the ownership of the car parks. We hope that everything comes together on May 22 with the CVA being agreed. “Credit must go to Alan Savage for funding the club through the difficult administration period and having the confidence to look to buy it.”
  12. Fortunately there are add on clauses in the deal with Dunfermline (as advised by Charlie Christie at the last Fans Meeting) so we stand to get a further financial benefit at some time.

  14. I remember my Granda relating to me that the "back roadie" behind both Hawthorn Drive and St Valery was made by the people who first lived in those houses. Many a summer was had where cars and motorbikes were tearing down them because they were unclassified roads and no license required. The trees and the wall lining the canal towpath at the top lock area were also great play places, especially as they had platforms on the housing side, accessible if you climbed the chains .... Health and Safety? What was that! We had our garden plot behind the house in Hawthorn Drive for many years, which eventually became a more organised facility staffed mostly by folk doing their community service ... We literally "lost the plot" when they took over the land and told us to move 60 feet to the left where my Granda taught me the joys of double-digging untended land to make a new plot I hate gardening to this day [ironic since I ended up for a spell as a Garden Centre Manager!] The bike run was a good one too .... you cycled from the top of Hawthorn Drive, along the 'back roadie', then at St Ninian you would go through all the various lanes to access the garages behind the houses until you eventually came out at the police houses at Bruce Gardens. Then it was up the stairs at that top end of St Valery, a quick tour of the stone hut before cycling the towpath all the way back to the top lock and doing it again, maybe in the other direction.
  15. A 92 minute goal got all three points for Glasgow today.
  16. Robbie Deas for Kilmarnock, Alex Samuel for County and Kai Kennedy for Queen of the South today.
  17. Cheers Gandalf
  18. Now that the Supporters Trust have zero shareholding, what other means are they looking at to ensure they can fulfil they're constitutional responsibilities? Things such as....but not limited to.... - Giving fans a stronger voice in the running and ownership of their football club. - Ensuring that fan interests are considered in decision-making.
  19. Following our May Board Meeting and last night's Special General Meeting, we have issued an update to members. A copy is in the Supporters Trust Board here: Update to Members: May 2025 - Supporters Trust - CaleyThistleOnline

  21. Yes, well done Mrs G and credit to the ladies in the top three. It seems ironic that I, of all people, influenced Mrs G's choice of Partick. Sorry ladies. Thanks again MrCJ for keeping this going. Yes, it would be nice to attract more punters for next season. My season was a complete and utter disaster....must do better.
  22. Congratulations @caleycalum on your triumph this season, well done. Thanks also to @Gringo for running this for another season, like others this adds to my weekend fun and certainly saves me losing money to the bookies Hopefully returning for 2025/26 season.

  24. How I wish the camera operators would learn to use the zoom facility! We had a great day out, a really great turn out even old players appeared, Liam Keo and missus stood beside us.
  25. Wow! What a finish. Well done ladies.
  26. HT 0-1 FT 1-4 ICT STEWART MONTROSE FREEMAN CROWD 887
  27. I was responding to another thread when I was reminded that I had meant to post a little more about my son's training. As i noted above, he does it three times a week, plus we have him in a dedicated 'striker school' for the next 8 weeks, with one or sometimes two games during the week so he could potentially be playing or training 5-6 days a week in May and June. However, this is at a local (grass roots) club rather than the professional team (TFC). He was with "TFC Juniors" from age 5, which is the starting pathway to the professional academy, but they mothballed that program at the start of COVID and when they re-opened the youth training, the TFC academy now starts at age 14 with nothing below that. They recommend you go to a local grass roots club and the one we are at is affiliated to and has close ties with TFC but is not TFC. They all follow the same national training curriculum, and his club employs professional coaches, but this is where I think ICT actually do better than people give them credit for. The structure, framework and dedication of individuals is there, it just needs a bit more attention and maybe some resources to hopefully take it up a notch. Many teams are shutting down youth systems as a cost cutting measure but I am glad we are not one of them.
  28. Yeah, BMO field is getting temporary stands for the World Cup to take it up from 30K to 45K. They are building a second tier above the supporters' section where i stand right now and also at the other end which is currently open as they need that for the longer field for the Toronto Argonauts (CFL). Hoping to get tickets on the back of being an inaugural season one TFC season ticket holder since 2006 but its FIFA not MLS doing ticketing and right now, they are punting tickets to those who buy Club World Cup tickets which seems to be failing miserably to sell on its own. I just want one or two games at BMO filed if I can afford it to say I have been South End of stadium. Tier 2 would be brand new (and temporary). The ball shows my current season seats. https://www.bmofield.com/events/fifa26 https://www.bmofield.com/assets/doc/BMO-Field-Renovations-Renderings-March-3-535d66de4d.pdf My fear is that all the current issues will make people want to go to games in Canada or Mexico instead of USA and it's going to be nigh on impossible to get tickets. Public transit and traffic is a nightmare in this city and only going to get worse so if I dont get tickets I may head out of country for a month, organise to rent out my house, and use that to fund it I started off going to see the Lynx @ Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke (near the airport) when I first moved over. Think of it like watching ICT from the Bught Park shinty stands. They were the only option, and they were really really bad as were some of the teams they played. I remember one team in particular because of the name ... the Rochester Raging Rhinos but they were quite good. Neither exist anymore however. Nowadays, if you dont want to go see TFC then you have York United or Hamilton Forge who are both Canadian Premier League teams in the Toronto area as well as a few other lower tier teams kicking around.
  29. Yup - that one will do it for me. That was incredible. Administrator in that case of course was one Bryan Jackson, who was on the recent podcast talking about, well, Administration!
