  1. Today
  2. Did you catch the train home this time
  3. Was an opinion piece in P&J yesterday by Mike Edwards (a former STV journey) headlined "Where Inverness Caley Thistle trains is irrelevant, so bring on Kelty move" It had the sub-headline of: To get out of this league and back into the running for a tilt at the big time requires radical plans. Having never heard of him before, his Wikipedia lists many impressive accolades and philanthropic work. That said, this P&J article opinion column was very poor. It came across as incredibly conceited: "You should have seen the look on many football managers' faces when I turned up to meet them in the three-piece suit they'd seen me wearing on the TV news the night before while outside the High Court." The actual argument in Mike's op-ed price was that Jim Jeffries told him Kilmarnock FC trained at the University of Glasgow facilities. "I was perplexed. I always thought provincial Scottish football clubs had to be part and parcel of their local communities" Mike: You can drive from Kilmarnock to Glasgow in thirty minutes. Just about the same time as it takes to drive from Inverness to Fort George... The article was poor in other respects. His deep 'love' of football was on show: "Once we'd got the dreary business of his injury-depleted squad and the formation and system he'd [Jim Jeffries at Killie] deploy on a Saturday out of the way, we got chatting..." (perhaps about his three-piece suit and its appearance at the high court the night before?) And the chat with Jim did not leave Mike at all impressed: "He was amiable enough, but I wouldn't want him on my team in a pub quiz" I initially assumed it was Mike's perception of Jim Jefferies' general knowledge that put him off, but it could just as easily have been Jim's attire, or perhaps his choice of evening TV... Most revealing - and the only interesting or insightful part of this entire pompous and vain puff piece - was that Mike apparently emailed ICT two years ago and offered to be a director, dangling the princely sum of £475,000 as a long-term, interest free loan as the carrot. He got no response. Anyway, before the club scrambles to fish out that email and call off the Kelty move (or more likely, as the jilted lover, get in there and dump Fife Council before they dump us), Mike has since invested the sum into buying up holiday homes in the area instead, and the rent pleases him. To be fair, I may have totally mis-read Mike, as I didn't understand many of the words he uses, such as 'imbroglio', cri de coeur or 'contretemp'. There have been too many like Mike - namely Graham Rae, and now it seems, Ross Morrison - who see ICT as a personal plaything where only their (usually harebrained) idea is the right idea, where if it seems right to them, it must be right everywhere, and where the real, generational support is treated as a nuisance, as in this opinion piece. Hiring Yvonne Crook and Scot Gardiner as CEOs - both completely laughable and indefensible hires - are warnings ahead: how can the Supporters Trust and the club be emboldened to protect ICT's scarce resources in future from these vainglorious types and their nepotism?

    New ICT Podcast

    I finally found the time to listen to it tonight and well done to the guys involved and I just hope the chairman will take heed and sort out the main problem!
  6. The Courier has picked up on the financial implications of fans not renewing season tickets: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/sport/supporters-trust-say-ict-set-to-lose-200-000-from-fan-boyc-352180/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
  7. Gary Bollan could cover the space in goal.
  8. I think we will have more fans at away games than home games unless we get the changes we want!
  9. Probably only need a taxi at this rate.
  10. Paywall be gone - https://archive.ph/2NKUR
  11. Strange, it let me open it. The 9 are Devine, Ujdur, Savage, Nicolson, Davidson, Gilmour, Longstaff, Brooks and Mckay. The article is mainly about Ryan Esson and our ‘keepers all being out of contract.
  12. Premier Sports Cup 13 July Annan 27 July Dundee if there is sufficient interest we will run a bus. Contact us through Facebook or on 07462218717
  13. Come on England.
  14. Hate clicking on links for the P&J (and Courier) far too many pop ups / ads / subscribe to this / subscribe to that...so I didn't. Can you spill the beams? Who's in?
  15. cant read it, behind a paywall.
  16. This article sums it up, and confirms the 9 currently contracted for next season: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/inverness-caledonian-thistle/6487637/caley-thistle-set-to-be-without-a-goalkeeping-coach-and-a-single-signed-goalkeeper/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2Qg7G7L2S0ry9KiKDaWktehHc3AV8VtMhWlSZNIOx1Cps583fEPcSltMc_aem_AathZPX-YhV_zrWz7tJsTiRZEyzKZoPSDWzsUgY30t4ApZgKNup5vE6zIr-2ARCTTSwK1aOATcNR5FPQSFhg6T0P
  17. We might set a new record for the Group stage with goals conceded. Currently no news on how the few contracted players have responded to the Kelty change to their contracts. No news about new signings other than a lot of central based players are were being lined up to wear the once famous ICT strip if they can train in Fife.
  18. Not with Ross Morrison's telephone antics they won't. Be fighting over who didn't phone who back
  19. You are in my time zone I think, just a bit further south (of the border). We've got a fair few on here residing outside the UK so dont hesitate to jump in ...
  20. As expected. The dullest of the dullest fixtures we could have gotten. Another snorefest of a League Cup group.
  21. I’m sure I’m not the only one hoping you have made a fortune in the USA and are looking to invest in ICT!
  22. Today, but they are a year out of date as to the end of May last year.
  23. I may only make one game a year being 3600 miles away, but I'm not in support of the move! P.S. Really jumped on to say thanks to all of you...been reading the forum for years as it's the only way to find out what's really happening day to day (not just the last few weeks)
  24. The source is someone who was at an event in the stadium today. Gardiner and Morrison out, Kelty switch off. I imagine they are crossing i's and dotting t's at the moment before an announcement is made.
