A late addition to our pre-season saw us take to the field at Grantown-on-Spey in our much maligned away strip. Main talking points lifted off X. 10' | 0-1 GOAL! Shae Keogh opens the scoring after finishing a great cross from Luis Longstaff. 21' | 0-2 GOAL! Adam Mackinnon finishes on the edge of the box from an Archie Kerr cross. 31' | 0-3 GOAL! Trialist 14's cross is headed in by Hamzad Kargbo from close range.

Maybe a 'superhero' that's more local? She has made a bob or two in Hollywood, and will hopefully be set for life for income from appearances at ComiCon or similar etc after both Dr Who, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers appearances, not to mention Jumanji and the forthcoming Highlander remake. She likely has a few friends in the business with pots of cash (The Rock? Dave Bautista? Jack Black? Henry Cavill?) and more importantly seems to value her Scottish and Highland roots and is a big supporter of Mikeys Line as well.... ... and she likes football VideoPresskaren-gillan-leads-scotland-celebrations-after-world-cup-...Hollywood actress Karen Gillan was filmed singing and dancing with Scotland fans after their World Cup win over Haiti - her celebration video was viewed over 4.8 million times online.

Just bought the away kit (and assuming the home one will be sized the same), I'd recommend treating it like you would Erreà, by going a size, maybe two, up. And, like the Erreà kits, the sponsor is actually part of the fabric, so you won't need to worry about anything getting sticky and ruined by the wash That said, the new shop looks really nice and theres a load of room to move around now, rather than having to squeeze past each other. Only downside is there's only one fitting room, so you could be waiting a while if you are also indecisive on whether to go one size up or two.

I agree and understand the consolidation point. I know most supporters don’t give a toss, however I will add we also need a succession plan in place ie 3 and 5 year framework. If we are to limit or mitigate catastrophic cliff edges (of past yore), then this subject should be on the Boards agenda. If they act like the past and think that’s for the next Owner and CEO, then we’ve learned ZIP. On field activities and success or failure run hand in hand with the off field ones. AS has and is doing his bit (within the limits of the budget (+ emergency pot)) he has set himself. A two or three year run in the CHPS would better the club’s position for better outside investment. Avoiding relegation this season must be the priority. Anything else could put us back more than I care to consider. Just putting it out there as I feel it’s relevant. bc

For me, this season is about staying in the Championship, so I see anything better than 8th as a bonus. We’ve a tough start, playing the three teams that made the play offs last season, and could easily find ourselves at the wrong end of the table. It’s hard to know what teams will be strong, but if we can finish above two of Morton, Queens Park and Stenhousemuir, we will have maintained our place in the Championship. Let’s all go into the season with realistic expectations and knowing that it’s going to be hard.

finishing anywhere above 9th will do for me. Would prefer it to be comfortably above 9th, but consolidation this season is the key.

Last season the fantastic start to the season set up the promotion. As the new boys in the division I'd say the other teams will look at ICT thinking there are points to be gained there. It's even more vital then to get a good start to nip that attitude in the bud. Promoted teams that get a poor start don't tend to have a good season overall. It's really hard to judge what would be expected - look at Arbroath last season in their first season compared to RC who came into the championship from the other direction. Both probably had different expectations than what transpired. If things go well we could be in the top half, perhaps even close to the playoffs. In reality I'd expect a mid table finish, but mid table for 10 teams can get you close to both top and bottom at various points. I'd say 5-7 would be what I'd expect come May. To me I think we need to look firstly at establishing a gap above two other teams (Morton & Stenny?) and then building from there. The first three games are pretty tough ones before we visit Stenny, so I hope we have 4 or 5 points on the board by then. Set the tone early for a decent, but not spectacular, season.

Good subject and post Luddite, The timing is right as whilst predictions about how ICT would/ could get on the CHPS when we won promotion was in full swing, we had no idea what the player pool would really be come August. I’ve not seen any match so far but the posts back from those that did indicate we are a bit away from being at the level required to compete (and importantly win) in the CHPS. Have we enough quality to replace or improve the player level from last season ? - Far too early to say however I still expect a couple of players to come through the door. Personally I believe we will be tested a lot more defensively, and whilst the goalie and back four will do the heavy lifting here, strikers and the midfield cannot go missing in this task. Kells role in how we get on will be important. He has had 20 odd months under his belt now and gained enough experience to take the players he has to come up with the best tactics and game plan to get results, (ideally a few draws away and victories at home). Ultimately I’m optimistic we can secure ourselves in the ‘middle-pack’ knowing promotion ain’t going to happen, but get results that keep the threatened two or three relegate teams 4 - 6 points below us. A good season 26-27 season for me is fifth (think it’s possible). A poor one is eighth. bc

I've been looking at the tdams in the Championship and thinking about what I'd cinsider a good season to be and tbh any finish from 8th upwards is a result to me. Consolidating a position in the Championship and moving forwards from that has to be taken as positive given our recent history. I don't expect Alan Savage to turn into daddy Warbucks akin to Brooks Mileson given his history. I wish for a new owner with deep pockets so Alan can enjoy his success without constantly topping up our balance. "Welcome to the Longman" has a nice ring to it. Come on Deadpool!

Why is our highlights package so bad? You can barely see the players. You look at the East Fife one and you’d think it was filmed on another day. Their commentary gives it that extra step up also.
-
Our lads showing Messi and Mbappe that scoring from the spot really isn't that difficult. 5 really well taken penalties. Shame about the 90 minutes preceding them. Credit to East Fife who were very well organised and committed.

Here’s the ict version from the other side of the pitch. Pressed pause as EF player plays the pass, looks offside to me. Watching game again, the settings have 0.5 speed. Played at that speed and hit pause, Devine playing EF player on. Decision :ONSIDE.

I wouldn't worry about what is posted on that forum because it's mainly morons and AI bots who create different accounts that post on there!! I wouldn't even class that forum as a place for banter! I'm 40 and prefer this forum where it's more sane posters 👍. I do browse there though and actually came across a post asking if Dan Mackay hasn't been offered a deal, which is actually a valid question? I don't know the answer btw 😂, we'll find out on Tuesday I suppose.

Adam certainly took his goal very wel.

We’ve been drawn against Strathspey in the first round and, if we win that, Rothes or Nairn in the second round. In theory both are at home, but we’ve tended to cede home advantage in this cup (apart from when we played Strathspey last season). Provisional dates are 2 and 30 September.
-
Hard to tell from the camera angle if the East Fife goal was offside. I and those around me were convinced it was in real time, but it all stemmed from sloppiness.
-
Seeing it live was bad enough, I'll give it a miss.

For anyone who wasn’t at the game here are the highlights. Get yerself a dram TM4TJ and enjoy the spectacle. Ps… you shouldn’t have reminded me how to select and post from tube on an other thread.😃

Usual post match stuff from kellacher. We need to get better, move the ball faster, more clinical, take care of the ball, not good enough last 3 weeks, etc, etc. The players we got in, kellacher has seen em, kellacher plays em. His job to make them a team, may take some time that we don’t have. Reminds me of the saloon scene in the Ballad of buster scrugs……. Ps… didn’t know how to stop video at 1.15.

Quote on P&B ICT posts today: • CTO = main stand weirdos • P&B = The North stand legends I’m fine with the top category as the auld fuss pots around me allow me to blend in easily. I take it the poster in the North Stand has sat in Main stand to be able to make an opinion? Thing is I started out in the young team shed a million year ago but crept ever-so slowly into the gentleman’s arena of not standing in the rain for a Pie & Bovril. I leave it with there’s always a seat available in the Main stand for legends to gravitate too 🤪 bc PS - Wiznae at the match.

Desperate Stuff A dreadful game where we shared a goal apiece with almost relegated East Fife. We prevailed in the penalty shoot-out to earn the bonus point but the performance was not what was expected. I know I know it is usually a competition we use to fine tune our squad but we are a far cry from the finished article going by that performance. An absolutely honking performance mostly played at pre-season pace. The one bit of quality got us level in time added on, from a neat finish into the bottom corner by MacKinnon after good work down the left flank. Otherwise dreadful. Too many players looked as if they were still on a pre-season jolly with no apparent urgency on the job in hand. I've seen better stuff at the Hub over the last few weeks from under 12's. I don't know why I bother sometimes. Gaffney opened the scoring after the half hour in a dour uneventful game. It started with Scotlandesque defending and a poor choice of ball out of the box from Savage. Sole failed to control the ball. It was transferred forward with the Fife forward player looking yards offside and Myles Gaffney knocked in with nobody near him. Our attacking efforts were as insipid as the national team as well, however MacKinnon's goal in time added on was a good low curling effort from around 16 yards after two or three players were involved down the left side. Ross Munro made one good save in the penalty shoot-out as he saved the Fifers second spot kick. We put all five of ours away comfortably. Shinnie, Wotherspoon, Kargbo, Bates and Longstaff winning us the bonus point. Reis Peggie, Pat Slattery, and David Wilson scored from the spot for East Fife with Tyrell Skeen-Hamilton having his penalty saved by Ross Munro. In the other Group F fixture Linlithgow Rose pulled off a good win at Cappielow, defeating Morton 1-0 with a goal from Callum Rae early in the second half. We play the Rose next week at Prestonfield. We were not the only Championship side to struggle. As well as Morton going down, Dunfermline were pumped 3-0 at East Kilbride. Partick Thistle showed how it should be done by hammering Brechin City 6-0. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: 11/07/2026 Venue: Caledonian Stadium Attendance: **** Referee: Sean Murdoch Inverness CT: 1 Manager: Scott Kellacher Lineup: Munro; Macleod, Devine, Savage, Boutin (Bates 71), Sole (Kargbo 62), Allan (Wotherspoon 62), Stewart, Shinnie, Duncan (MacKinnon 85) Bavidge (Longstaff 62) Subs (not used): Ross; Clark, Keogh, Chalmers, Scorers: MacKinnon (90+1) Booked: Boutin (59), Bates(90+4) Sent Off: none East Fife: 1 Manager: Dick Campbell Lineup: Gaston; Wilson, Bah, Easton, Peggie, Slattery, Millar, Milne, Newton (Trialist B 81), Gaffney (Skeen-Hamilton 64), Ross (Austin 85) Subs (not used): Rollo; Linton, Healy, Fairley Scorers: Gaffney (34) Booked: Ross (24), Gaffney (59), Bah (74), Wilson (86) Sent Off: none -
