I’m not convinced there was any interest in bringing Jordan White back. He was strongly rumoured to be joining Aaron Doran at Strathspey when someone said they’d heard we were looking at two County players, then the Cove story started several weeks ago. I liked the 30 minutes that Bates was on the pitch last night. I know it was only a pre-season friendly, but he could be a handful for defenders and an asset to us, as he looked to be good at bringing other players into play.

Those players under 18 had the logo covered over last night.

I too like a flutter on the footy. Actually ended up in profit last season [thank you Stevenage] but I wouldn't advertise. So many people are affected by gambling and lots of other things including booze. It's a personal choice of course. I've not bought a team shirt for a good few seasons now, I find them far to expensive for what they are and stick to the casual / leisurewear range.

Maybe we were interested but our offer was just too meagre? It’s not an encouraging sign for me that it appears our ‘pot’ is ring-fenced in the hope it’s enough to encourage Alfie B (or some Celtic kid) to sign another years loan deal. It’s a risk in that it limits our ability to tie down other potential strikers as we wait on Alfie B & ABN to make their mind up. (Good chance others are interested and they are waiting to see what the biggest pot is tabled). I wish big Jordan well at Cove. He will definitely be an asset for them. Just my tuppence worth, bc

Phew! Dodged a bullet there. Jordan White signs for Cove Rangers on a 2 year deal.

Probably a disgruntled ex-county fan who follows the highest placed side in the Highlands. If he enjoys a moan so much, then he should have carried on following the lot up in Dungwall - he would have plenty to moan about now! 🤣

It'll be the law - gambling and U18s etc. The test of ethics and sponsor influence wil be if there is an option not to have it on adult shirts. I personally like a bet and have no problem with it, but there are others who don't on principle or who have addiction issues (either themselves or famiy members).

So now we know the trialists were: Joe Walters, Daniel Mackay and Hamzad Kargbo 👍.

I know we probably have some crazy posters on here but by god p and b is the worst forum for deluded fans 😂. Some guy (who's always accused of being AI btw) is wanting us to sign experienced players like Oli Shaw and raging that he went to Dunfermline instead of us. Even better is he is moaning when we DO sign strikers, which he has been crying out for FFS! There is just no pleasing some people!! I don't know the guy but he is some laugh on there with his rants.

He was playing wide left tonight.

Smart. Uncontentious.

I didn’t want to name him until others confirmed it was who I thought it was: Dan Mackay.

Has Roddy Macgregors contract expired?

We dont know 14......

Only trialist 15 played the whole game, with him finishing at right back. A useful work out but some rustiness. Of the youngsters, Sam Thompson was controlling things in midfield, with Archie Kerr and Jake Rodgers looking promising. Bates was lively and could well be an asset for us. Not sure about the big no 20, but trialist 15 looked promising, while we all do know no 14!!

The ref is letting most things go, and we got caught not playing to the whistle at the Nairn goal when Shinnie was fouled in the build up. Bates is on now as Longstaff extends our lead from a direct free kick.

18' | 0-1 GOAL! Trialist opens the scoring (No 20) Clearance blocked and he scored with a near-post shot. 21' | 0-2 GOAL! Paul Allan scores after ball played through out wide which was cut back and slotted away. 34 | 0-2 Good move from Nairn County as Calum MacKay's effort comes off the post. 41’ | 1-2 Goal Nairn! Ball is won in the middle of the park by Kenny McKenzie and plays through Calum Mackay who puts it past the keeper. 45+| 1-2 Shae Keogh sees his effort held right on the stroke of half time HALF TIME: 1-2 ICTFC Subs at the break: Ross Munro, Luis Longstaff and Liam Sole on Logan Ross, Shae Keogh and Trialist (No 14) off 47' | 1-2 Good ball from Adam Mackinnon finds Trialist (No 20) in the box and his effort is just over. 53' | 1-2 ICTFC Sub: Morgan Bates on, Trialist (No 20) off 63' | 1-3 GOAL! Luis Longstaff's free-kick finds the bottom corner from the edge of the box. FULL TIME: 1-3 Looks like everybody got some game time.

Half time: Nairn 1-2 ICT.

Noa is left back (looks pacy). Trialist 14 (on the other side and left my distance glasses in the car but he may be someone we know well) is right midfield, 15 is centre half and 20 is a tall striker who’s just opened the scoring. Paul Allan has just fired in the second.

Is Noa playing as centre back?

Our Starting XI to face Nairn County in tonight’s friendly at Station Park Please note we are awaiting the relevant clearances for our new signings and they will be listed as ‘Trialist’ on officially submitted teamlines

Some of our best recruitment last year happened in July with Alonge, Wetherspoon, Alfie B , Alfie S, Liam sole all cpming in. With this signing so early I am starting to feel quite confident that by the time the season starts we will have recruited another good squad for Kellacher and the team to develop into better players and a great team. Now get contract extensions done for Adam, Calum and Remi and I would be very happy.

Best home shirt in years, great effort.

Like the kit, love that the badge outline is gone, and happy that someone - whether by law or by common sense - has made sure that the logo of a betting company is not on youth or kid shirts. Good job ICT !

Anybody ask for a striker??? Morgan Bates on loan from Swansea Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce the signing of striker Morgan Bates on loan from Swansea City until the end of the season, subject to Scottish FA and international clearance.
