Huh, this I didn't know. I wonder if it was something that was limited to Amateur leagues as I imagine the protections are a lot lower. I still stand by my belief that if anyone should be mandating insurance, it should be down to the Players Union. I mean, I have insurance as an amateur golfer through the Irish Golf Union since they have collective bargaining power. I could imagine that there would be a private insurance out there that would offer the same through the Football Union.

It would be nice to know how short is short Has there been any official statement on his resignation ? Be nice to know as us as fans can get back behind the team and support our team . I for 1 like many would not trust SG with anything after his past record with us and his previous clubs . I’d have everything overlooked in what he does . I think he talks a good game . Knowledge I’m not so sure .

No doubt ICT will time the release of any statements to tomorrow around 8PM UK time so that we are all suitably distracted ... but f*** it, time to shift focus to what is hopefully Ryan Christie's 50th cap for Scotland and dare I say it, with things so bleak at ICT, a better chance of a positivity coming out of Munich than the Longman!!! Currently sitting in the office with a Spotify playlist blasting Scotland/football related tunes in my ear. Not getting much work done as I am watching the videos all over Twitter of the Tartan Army in Munich and wishing I was there. (in my defence - it is lunchtime here). Have also been scouring Toronto for some car flags, and this week have had my son belting out the Tartan Specials "We'll Be Coming" in the car and now he knows all the words Job Done - heard him tell his pals "We play Germany on Friday" and extolling how well we might do. The Tartan Army ethos and optimism has been indoctrinated into him now Even the guy who does the pixellot stuff at his football team said to me last night he has Ryan in his FC24 video game team. Apparently if we win, Ryan gets an instant skill boost of +20 to 93, whatever that means!

Getting close to £10K now and if displayed names are genuine, there are some pretty recognisable names in there, including former club officials and staff, two former managers, and one assistant, players going back from now to 15+ years ago and even possibly one of our former CEOs or someone with the same name at least (no, not the current or recent CEOs).

indeed ... Will always remember @The Mantis getting me in trouble with Stevie Hislop for something he said on CTO about his running style.

They've let the ICTFC badge expire so I'm guessing others may have also. Hopefully the noted status isn't foreshadowing.

Or will it be Good News Week..,

Thistle are almost back, and are trying to get admitted to the NCFA for the 25/26 season. Dunno how it'll pan out considering how the last revival of Thistle went, but can't imagine they'd be about for long... Not sure why they chose Thistle when they techincally still exist, and a Union/Citadel/Celtic revival would be far more interesting https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/talks-to-take-place-tonight-about-bringing-inverness-thistle-353094/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Could do a job for us...we need a 'keeper.

Johndo, I've missed you! I did win the lottery, reckon me and Yngwie can maybe go halfers?

There's certainly enough doughnuts at the club but I wouldn't necessarily trust throwing hundreds and thousands at them We're crumbling quicker than an empire biscuit

Following the expiry of many contracts on Sunday, and the comments made by Mark Ridgers, Cammy MacKay and Wallace Duffy, the Supporters Trust has issued a press statement thanking all out of contract players for their contribution to the club, and is shocked and dismayed by the lack of contact made with them by the club regarding their position. The press statement has been e-mailed to all members, and can be viewed here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/out-of-contract-players We will continue to work on behalf of our members and the wider fan base, and we would welcome further members. Anyone joining now will have their membership apply until the end of July 2025. You can join using this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Many of you who supported our Stronger Together initiative indicated (understandably) that you would not contribute as long as the CEO was at the club. You can use the link below to contribute to this initiative, either through a subscription or by making a donation.

Unfortunately, I do remember this and cannot decide which one looked down on fans, shareholders and sponsors more. They both looked at supporters like they were something on the bottom of their shoe after walking through a cow field.

Paul Sheeran has gone bonkers now ?? But what chance has anybody got unless the current mess can be corrected and that may take more than a season.

Why would they sack Gardiner? Not long before quitting and leaving us in this state The (former) Chairman said that Gardiner had been 'loyal' and had been doing a good job. That terrified me because it clearly demonstrated the huge disconnect between the board and the reality of the situation with the fans and Gardiner. Did he not hear fans singing 'Gardiner GTF' week after week? The first thing I thought any half decent board would do after relegation would be to get rid of Gardiner but nope, we doubled down and with 'delight' announced the Kelty move. Personally I think it was just easier for them to employ him, let him tell them how amazing he was doing. Nobody seemed to ever have the backbone to question him, his decisions, his attitude, his methods or his recruitment. Some people have been saying for years he's detrimental to the club, nobody listened. Just pathetic all round.

Sorry haven’t seen your message. There is availability for Annan and Dundee. You can pay in advance or on the day. Sorry we don’t do haircuts though.

Heading to Germany now. Uefa have refused permission to take micks flag in to Munich stadium as they say its to big. Ill still try and get it in but I'll hang it with pride all over Germany.

Well HMS Sneck is well into the floods now. Morale has been difficult to maintain as the only communication links to the vessel are controlled by the CEO and Tesco's have had difficulties delivering the Whoosies.

I hate to remind people that I revealed the Aquifer problem many years ago and faced derision and disdain. Just hoping now that Gardiner steps on a potential crevice soon

Could we not have sold sections of the pitch to fans to raise a few quid?! The grass in my garden is from Tannadice - the first owner was a Utd player and helped himself to it at the end of the season.

Given today's news, and the comments we received from many who supported our Stronger Together initiative that they (understandably) would not contribute to the initiative whilst the CEO was at the club, now is a good time to "bump" this thread so you can easily see how to contribute.

In the immediate aftermath of yesterday's announcement by the club, members of the Supporters Trust Board were very busy responding to the content, doing interviews with BBC, STV and MFR, whilst the Courier published an article based on one interview that took place a few minutes after the release was issued: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/supporters-trust-call-latest-ict-statement-step-in-the-rig-352519/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook We have seen this morning's breaking media reports and it is clear that things are moving very quickly at the club. Once again, we thank all our members for their feedback and continued support. We continue to attract new members, which we are delighted about.

Ryan Christie for Scotland last night.
