Well done, Duncan MacAuley. Just the kind of fund raiser I like. You know that really you are simply giving a donation, but there is that extra little bit of excitement which I love. (I don't get out much!)

The draw took place last night, and we are delighted to announce that the winner is Duncan MacAuley. You can read further details about the draw here: Season Ticket Prize Draw: we have a winner! Thank you to everyone who entered. The level of interest was amazing. If you have not yet renewed or purchased your season ticket, we encourage you to do so.

Yes, the tone of ICT Social Media has been revolutionised. I think this is simply one very significant symptom of the very positive Wind of Change that has swept through the club since the old regime departed. The steady change in morale has been palpable and the increasingly upbeat tone of the Social Media has played a big part in that.

Given that he said in his interview that it was going to be hard on his family, I think he will be up for the majority if not the whole week.

This is brilliant, cheers for that!

As you will have seen, we have now established separate areas for the Supporters Trust and the Travel Club who have started to make use of them to publicise events and add content. These are self-contained areas within the site and the management and moderation of them is under their control. Topics will appear in the main list of topics and calendar events will appear in the calendar sidebar. We have also added the fixture list for 2025-26 to the calendar and it will also be available in the traditional stats program. We are still looking for a sponsor for that part of the site to enable us to pay for an upgrade to the program, or for someone with mad PHP/SQL skills to deconstruct and reverse engineer the program we are using. Its classed as 'abandonware' from the original author and only one person (we know of) has taken it up and kept it modern. Easy option is to pay him for the updates, but the cost is high For now it will trundle along as it is. I am now starting the next stage of updates and as part of that some areas of the site may become unavailable at times, menus may change, and some unused parts of the site, or infrequently posted in forums may be merged into others. If you spot something not working for an extended period, or looking weird beyond a few minutes or hours, let me know. I want to streamline everything and remove any clutter and noise before we perform the actual software upgrade. All being well I hope to do the software upgrade at some point (later) next week or perhaps the week after.

With tickets going on sale today, we contacted our members earlier about Aaron's testimonial, and a request for assistance the day before from Dale, our Head Groundsman. You can read the message in the Supporters Trust Board within this Forum and, whilst there, why not click to join the club, which allows you to comment on posts in the Supporters Trust section:

Following tickets going on sale at lunchtime, we issued an e-mail to members about Aaron's forthcoming testimonial match against Ross County on Saturday 5 July, and a request from Dale, our Head Groundsman, for assistance on the day before the game. You can read the full message here: Aaron Doran’s Testimonial / Pre-season Preparations We hope Aaron will get a large crowd on the day, and if you can assist Dale on Friday 4 July, please let us know, either by replying here on e-mailing us at [email protected].

Rules and Instructions for playing the Nutters Prediction League (NPL) for the 2025/26 Season. How to Play - General Information To take part in the NPL all you have to do is simply predict the following for all First Team Inverness Caledonian Thistle matches. Competitions covered in the NPL are: The Championship; League Cup; Challenge Cup* and SFA Cup. *Challenge Cup games will be HT and FT ONLY The Half Time (HT) score. The Full Time (FT) score. The scorer of the First goal for ICT. The scorer of the first goal for the opposition and The Crowd / Attendance figure. There is no need to register for this game. Just enter your prediction on the Gringo’s NPL Board on the forum before the match kicks off. Each game will be posted on the board approx’ two weeks before the fixture (if I remember!). If you are going away on your holidays etc and the games you wish place a prediction on have not been posted, then please PM me your selections and will do my best to post them for you. Post your prediction in the following format:- HT: FT: 1st Scorer ICT: 1st Scorer Opp: Crowd: (Just copy and paste the above format onto the board and add your predictions) For Example:- Gringo HT: 0-0 FT: 2-1 1st Scorer ICT: Legend 1st Scorer Opp: Ferguson Crowd: 3345 Important To avoid losing points, please use the same 'username' throughout the contest. The Rules / Scoring system All predictions should be posted before kick off, it is up to you to check k.o. times and post accordingly No excuses! ALL entries posted after k.o. (even 1 sec over) will NOT be accepted. Very often the match thread will be automatically locked at the scheduled kick off time regardless of whether the match has physically kicked off or not so please post early to avoid disappointment. Each game will be advertised on the Gringo's NPL board approx' two weeks or so before the game. These games will remain on the board throughout the season and, where possible, will be locked after kick off or some other time convenient to me. H-T and F-T Correct Scores You will be awarded 1 pt for each correct score (1-0) and result (h, a or d) + a bonus of 2pts for an all correct prediction. I.E If you predict a 1-0 score and the actual score is 2-0 you will be awarded 1 pt for the 'home' result and 1pt for the '0' score. If the score was 1-0 you would get 1pt for the '1', 1pt for the '0' and 1pt for the 'home' result plus a bonus of 2pts for an all correct answer giving you a max 5pts. (Sounds complicated but it will become as clear as mud as the game progresses). So, basically, a correct score is worth 5 points. Please note that, unless you state otherwise in your prediction, the first score you give will always be regarded as the 'home' team. First Scorer ICT/ Opposition /Use of Surnames You will be awarded 2pts for a correct answer. OG's do count but only if you state this at the time and for the correct team. Please be aware of teams who have the same players surname in their line ups (including those on the bench) so please state clearly which player you have selected by using their first name(s). Failure to clarify this WILL result in a loss of points if that player scores. Crowd Section You will be awarded 10 pts if you are bang on and 5pts if you are no more than 100 out – over or under. The crowd figure will be determined by those displayed on the Official SPFL Web Site. If for some reason this site does not publish the crowd figure an alternative recognised web site may used. If there are no correct predictions (10 pointers) for the crowd then the nearest entrant to the actual figure will be awarded TWO bonus points. If there is a tie for this honour all involved will receive the two points. The JOKER For 2025/26 please refer to the separate thread regarding your JOKER entitlement. Using a Joker will DOUBLE your points tally for that game. Only one joker per game can be used. Use them wisely on games you are very confident on getting loads of points. The Joker CAN be used on any Bonus Point games but any Bonus Points won will NOT be doubled. To use your Joker simply add **JOKER** at the end of your prediction. The winner of the 2025/26 NPL will be able to use three jokers the following season. Those finishing in the next nine positions will qualify for two Jokers and all others will only get one. Cup Matches Cup matches will be based on 90 mins only (which includes time added on for stoppages). Extra time does not count. There will be no extra points awarded for extra-time scores / pens etc. Any games played on a neutral ground the home team will be notified on the appropriate game thread. Bonus points From time to time I will select a match where bonus points will be available. All bonus point matches and details of how to win these points will be advertised on the specific thread. Please look out for them as they could appear at any time. Abandoned / Postponed Matches Abandoned and Postponed matches will be VOID and all entries will be cancelled. They will NOT be carried over for the re-arranged fixture unless otherwise stated. Notes on 1st scorer A point was raised about naming a first scorer after predicting a '0' scoreline. It was suggested that the entrant should put 'None' or No Scorer in the first scorer section and be awarded the 2pts. As far as I am concerned if there isn’t a goal there cannot be a 'first scorer'. I have no problem with entrants naming a 'first scorer' and predicting a '0' scoreline. It will be accepted. (Affectionately known as Gringo’s Law) Posting for other players / Multiple Postings You can post a prediction on behalf of another entrant (with their permission!) but please specify clearly who the prediction is for. Posting a series of predictions is also permitted but please make sure all the entrants names are on the respective entries. Notes on Correcting your Prediction Corrections to your prediction(s) can me made prior to kick-off by either using the edit facility on the original post or, alternatively, just re-post the whole prediction. In all cases the later prediction is used when the NPL spreadsheet is compiled. Scores and Updates Results and Tables from completed Games will be posted as soon as possible after each game. As I am the only person running the NPL, delays to updates can be expected due to holidays and going to watch ICT etc. As a general rule I will attempt to get the update on the NPL Board no later than two hours after the match. An expected update time will be advised on the respective Game Thread. Championship Tie In the event of a tie for first place, positions will be decided by the amount of correct scores (HT/FT 5 pointers) you have got, if there is still a tie after that the amount of correct scorers will be used. If it is still tied after that then I will use the average points system. This system will also be used to determine the 'Euro' positions for the benefit of the Joker quota for the following season. Prize Bragging rights only will be yours for an entire season and your name etched into the Role of Honour for the NPL. The top ten positions will be regarded as 'qualifying for Europe' and will be inscribed on the NPL Honours list.

We dont do popups. We do google ads only and these are top and bottom of forum, sidebar and sometimes inline ads. If you are getting actual popup ads I would like to know more as we have not enabled these as they bug the **** out of most people including me. As CaleyD noted, we do have an option for removing ads by becomiong a sponsor and also, I will be reviewing the ads as I work through the new site design and software. I think we do currently get too many as I let google choose positioning and sometimes I see double myself when i go to certain pages.

At only 25 he may well have been getting interest from the type of teams claimed, but he's unlikely to have been offered first team football, more likely a chance to see how he developed. Whatever the standard some might consider Crusaders to be, there's more 'shop window' opportunity for him there than here .

the use of the word vendors makes me think it is a browser or account thing. i have not seen it before, its certainly not configured by me and i would be interested if someone does get it, to let me know what was shown in the "view details" link, or to tell me the steps they did to get it showing up! I have tried both Edge and Chrome on PC in normal mode as well as incognito mode and both with and without cookies and cache cleared and logged in and out. As for the ADs, will take a look as part of the upgrade to see if I can strike a better balance. The reality is that the site costs me personally about US$2000 per year to run. This includes domain name registrations, software maintenance and support, hosting fees and other expenses. We usually manage to scrape by on the revenue from the ads and a few people who pay for a modest site sponsor subscription each year, so it is mostly self-financing, but without ads there would be no site unless we have a major sponsor willing to drop the cash into the site on a yearly basis that would allow us to remove the ads completely !

Earlier this week, we updated our members following our June Board Meeting. You can access the update here: Update to Members: June 2025 - Discussions - CaleyThistleOnline As part of the improvements he is making to the site, Scotty has set the Supporters Trust Forum up as a club and a subforum of the main forum. Whilst on that page, please join the club, which allows you post or comment on posts in the Supporters Trust Forum.

It all depends on how Nessie and Nessa identify themselves - apparently…

Also a tacit warning to Cowie and insurance of minimum disruption if things don’t go to plan by Xmas this year. Cowie, (and by implication Robbo) has been told that getting back to the Premiership, directly or via playoffs, is expected next season. If results by Xmas don't show or keep that target a reality, Cowie will be kindly ‘booted’. This is where the Robbo insurance kicks into play. Min disruption, worked with and knows all the players strengths and how to get more out of them, aka results. Know’s the place, training facilities and expectations of uncle Roy (demonic) and the fans (fingers-crossed). The dumping of Tremarco and Cowie’s brother is more evidence, if it was ever needed, just how ruthless and clear minded good old Unc-Roy is when he deals out some doctrine tenets of his!! I have the feeling it won’t be lost on AS the level of comparative success Coonty has had with this doctrine! PS - Still hope to be playing Coonty season 26/27. bc
