Is there a 5-a-side league we can join?

I'll say that only after the Scumilton fan ran across to our North stand goalmouth gloating and giving the finger did our fans invade the pitch, Before that I don't think they would have done so.

needs to have a poll listing your options for us to assess also noting we still currently have a contracted manager in Dunc.

Not so sure about that

Pretty sure that's a prerequisite trait for almost all managers though especially in football. Ever seen one to admit they were wrong or change tactics? Unfortunately I think there is a reliance that Dunc had the contact to bring in players from elsewhere with Bollan knowing the scottish game especially lower leagues -Unfortunately dunc underestimated the level and type of players and qualities needed and bollan is proven useless at management and coaching below this level.

No guilty conscience here

Aye Gardiner should cluck off

What happened yesterday was the result of a lethal concoction we've been taking all season. A combination of multiple factors. The board. Not just Gardiner who seemed to be the focal point for the anger. As if he was responsible for it all. He obviously bears responsibility. As does the rest of the board. Up to and including the chairman. The buck stops with him. The fans. We've always been under supported despite punching above our weight. The day trippers that only turn up for the big games. Where would we be if they all turned up every week I wonder? The "City". I don't class this place as a city. It's a town. For multiple reasons. This town doesn't deserve a Scottish cup winning, European side such as ours that brought prestige by carrying the name of this town and many thousands of travelling fans up here spending their money every weekend. The people. It's quite clear to me now that Inverness is the 3rd most supported team in Inverness which is a depressing statement to have to say. Not only do the people that live here stay away from our club. Many actively detest it. Old firm glory hunters born and raised in this town who would like nothing more than to see us fold and Highland football die off. Leaving everyone having to drive 3 hours down the A9 to watch any kind of football. That's if they survive the journey because of the central belt masters they worship refusing to dual the road. The council. What can you do? a 2% loss of green space on an unused golf course that would have netted us £3.5M. Approved. But the two councillors didn't like the way the vote went so did their best to make sure it didn't go through. Very few of them there actually care about the club obviously. But if your own council doesn't give a toss about you. What hope do we have. But we get what we deserve. This same council is the one that turns academy street into a karting track. Turns the ironworks into an empty lot. Builds a bridge to nowhere. And people still vote them in. It's a vicious circle. But we get the politicians we deserve. Luck. I'll end it with this. I've felt the writing was on the wall for a while now. Maybe we just spilt too many salt shakers. Broke too many mirrors. But you see this happen to many other "big clubs" in the championship. Dunfermline, St Mirren, Falkirk and Hamilton to name a few. If you stagnate for too long in the championship. You will face the drop. Yet again we've had a record breaking points total for being relegated. It doesn't feel like we could have done anything to avoid it. It genuinely felt like this was written for us. I've not really talked about the on field matters much. A lot has been said already which I agree with. To be honest I don't know if any manager would have saved us. We were 3 points off 5th. 1 point of safety, If Billy Mckay's penalty went in against Dunfermline? But it didn't. If luck was on our side maybe it would have.

If only Dunclown Ferguson didn't play him in a stupidly abysmal wingback/attacking midfielder/striker role. He is a striker, and that is all, but instead he's being put into a role that would've probably more favoured Samuel. If he stays, he NEEDS to be sat up top, not constantly backtracking, and he should be able to tear League One limb from limb

Indeed. What assets do we have to sell, and who would buy them? The battery firm is either worth nothing or worth up to £3m depending on the appeal outcome, but the club now seems to own only 1% of that company after 3 directors subscribed for new shares in it.

Well done Gringo and thanks again for running this competition, giving us some light hearted good fun.

For what it's worth! The club didn't have a player of the year so you still have a final chance to vote on this one. Who will it be it's up to you. I will let it run till midweek before doing the totals for the year.

HT 1-0 FT 2-0 ICT HARPER HA OHARA CROWD 2967 YELLOW LONGSTAFF

George Oakley has turned down a new contract with Morton and is reported to have better offers including from Partick.

There was no real desire from the team in first half ,it looked as though they couldn’t care less if we lost or won Hamilton on the other hand were going hell for leather to try and grab the game by the scruff of the neck and succeed in doing so we only started to threaten Hamilton when the subs were brought on if the same attitude exsisting Saturday we will definitely be relegated and how Ferguson thinks one goal will suffice is beyond me

Yes the Crysler V8 a beautiful sound but a bit thirsty

I'll need to make the headings clearer...

NPL Review for Game 47 Flipping heck Caley, you’re not doing my BP any good whatsoever. That was a tough watch. All to play for on Saturday – at least we have a chance. No maximums in any section for this game. Jodie Carnie [FT] and Joonya [HT] were the only correct scores. Scotty got the Crowd Section bonus – 13 over.

I find myself more and more comparing ICT with Everton - which may not be a coincidence for evident reasons. Everton in true Dyche style concentrate on tentative defending and much of the play is side to side and backwards. Pinching a one goal win has become the norm. Lack of stimulation and entertainment is also a norm. Survival is the main aim. Everton have played most of the season with one man up front - often not an actual forward - but that person is usually a 6 footer and the only Plan B is the hoof from Pickford. But when you compare Samuel and McKay to Calvert-Lewin, Beto and Doucoure - well ?!! Everton also have the options of McNeil and Harrison. Thats why I would love to see Harper playing higher up and Lawal using his pace out wide.

IHE was asking for the starting 11, the guys above would definitely make the bench.

NPL Review for Game 46 To say we scrapped through that is an understatement. That was the worst performance I’ve seen from an ICT side in all my years of supporting them. Plain awful. Can it get any worse? CaleyTennis, CDN Girl, Ictross and MrCaleyjag got max points in the Correct Score section. DooferDad got the Crowd Section bonus – just 5 under. Gringo heads the table by 19 points going into the last two games. Can he hold on to retain the title?
