For me the question is whether the leadership is there to galvanise that mindset in the players. I don't think Big Dunc has that belief so if he doesn't have it, he can't pass it on to the players. Barring a miracle, we are headed for administration and a 15-point penalty at a minimum. If that happens, DF has already given up and needs to be replaced with someone who will try to have the players scrap for every point ... I would rather go down fighting than meekly give up.

Duplicate topic. already discussed in various others. closed.

When Hearts went into administration in 2013 they didn't come out of it until the following summer and, IIRC, had a transfer embargo placed on them as well.

A couple of starters with first team experience. Shae Keogh, Ben Corner and the keeper. Accies have always had a decent Academy set-up. 19' | 0-1 Goal. Hamilton Accies take the lead through Charlie Rundell. Sam Thomson levels 23m. Keogh off injured 40m. HT: 1-1 PENS 4-3 Archie Kerr scores for ICTFC as we progress to the next round! GET IN!

The problem with using that metric obviously is the away fan numbers which will skew it massively. There's definitely a drop off in home fans as we go down the leagues though, no question. Home numbers have never been great.

Thought Charlie did pretty well in the hotseat. I guess the advantage we can offer ex-players in the HL is progression. How much notice do you get for making Nairn a force in the top six of the HL against getting ICT promoted from the bottom rung. I also suspect more people, like me, are more willing to shell out after admin. I was waiting to hear any rumours from AS but no need. They're publicly stated.

Part time only works if there is a talent pool locally or you accept that they dont train with you during the week and at best travel only for the games. Before anyone makes the argument 'what about all the HL players' - while there may be a few capable of stepping up many arent and the quality IMO is much lower than it was when Caley were rising through the leagues. Logistically we will struggle - teams closer to larger centres such as Aberdeenshire or the Central belt can probably consider P/T knowing that they are within 50 miles (1 hour travel) of talent - we are not generally.

Scottish Cup Draw Ties will be played on Sunday, 3 November.Ties will be played on Sunday, 3 November. This wasthe second half of the draw.

Reckon we should set up another GoFundMe - see if we can get enough donations to buy us a win. Or even a goal!

Anyone expecting the former board, directors, CEO or even DoF & manager(s) to come out and take ownership of this situation is wasting energy. Unfortunately those most successful in business and even football management are narcissists and will never take accountability only deflect blame everywhere else - we had a club full of them.

Elgin 14/5 please.

You’ll never get a seat on the ICT board with honesty and communication like that!

A tremendous gesture no matter what anyone says. You can see a sadness in his eyes in his pre match interview, hopefully that inspires a “dogs of war” attitude as IHE would say. Against All Odds? Aye, that saying hasn’t ever been more relevant.

Last night, Andrew MacRae for Brora and Josh Meekings for Clach in the North of Scotland Cup, and Iain Vigurs for Banks O’Dee in the Aberdeenshire Cup.

The players are protected under SFA / SPFL rules and must have their contracts paid / honoured. They do I believe have the option to leave their contracts if they wish to move elsewhere if the club enters admin. Players can’t be sold if they don’t want to move( i.e those settled here), so in that respect they are protected, unlike the staff employees who are not.

I've really been slacking with this so apologies! A new TWS podcast dropped yesterday featuring an interview with Alan Savage...

No. It was the collective responsibility for the astonishing level of incompetence.

Welcome Charlie, You’ll get the opportunity to test your abilities and mettle with immediate effect at Arbroath this Saturday. Great chance to make yourself a favourite with the fans if you can score a goal regularly. You might need to wait for the ball to get to you, so patience needed! Best of luck!

I’m not against using these cheapie things but all my images are tied up in Adobe Lightroom’s catalogue and nobody else offers the chance to import it. To make it worse, you can’t own the software any more. Adobe rents it to you at a tenner a month…

If our players 'gobbed' they'd probably miss the ground and 'gob' on their boot. Either that or pass it back and fore for half an hour.

We did get cuffed 4-0 at McDairmud Park in match 9 mind you.
