Why not support the lad instead of tagging him a failure before he kicks a ball8 points
-
Hardly headline grabbing signings, but our club does have a knack of identifying players who have not realised their potential at other clubs and then bringing them on well. Time will tell if these lads come good too.6 points

The winner for this season voted for by you is Shane Sutherland. Shane started well at the start of the season and picked up points throughout the season coming on to his best form in March, April and the start of May before being injured in the away game at Arbroath. A well deserved winner and hopefully he will make a good recovery from the serious injury picked up at Gayfield. However, early indications are that Shane will be out long term. Congratulations on winning this trophy which was held for the last two seasons by runner up David Carson and a speedy recovery Shane.5 points

I say.....For the record, you have been closing all your own topics yourself apart from one that was dealt with as there was already a topic dealing with it. Why close your topics which are sometimes relevant once you can see through the smoke screens. That defeats the purpose of having topics to debate and takes away from the purpose of the site. If we closed all topics that were past their sell by dates then there would be nothing left to read.4 points

Yep OCG there is indeed - I just hanker back to the golden years of the 60s when a few loo rolls bought from the corner shop on the way to the ground were more than sufficient to show your delight when the goals went in. Only problem was you're team had to play in white if you wanted yer loo roll to be the same as the team colours!4 points

Crosspost from the Nathan Shaw thread : We will see how he does ... Over the years we have had equal measure of turning jobbers into decent players for us - who then return to being jobbers when they move elsewhere - but we have also signed some out and out duds who never live up to whatever potential someone saw in them. There is a key phrase in that article for me and it is 3 simple words - "reignite his career" . The lad was playing for Celtic as a youngster and had played for Scotland youth before having to drop a couple of leagues after Hamilton so he's clearly not a bad play3 points

Are there any plans to encourage active travel to the stadium? Bike stands perhaps? When will the minutes of the last fans forum be released? Will it be by 2023? Will there be any further fan forum type meetings? Is there a strategy to engage with the Supporters Trust going forward? Are there any plans to improve the 'match day experience'? Will the West Stand have a proper roof installed after the concerts are done and if so how will it be funded? Do you feel communication with fans generally has been sufficient over the last season or so?3 points

I wouldn't put these players in the unidentified/unrealised talent category. They are guys who, as you rightly describe them, are jobbers. They have obvious talent, but bounce around clubs because they generally only perform at any one place for a short period of time or they have a knack of pissing people off and get moved on. The genius with many of these signings is that if we get a good first season or so out of them, then Ross County come calling and we offload them before they turn sour.3 points

Going to be great to see Gary Warren up here again after he signed for Clach. Should put a few extra on the gate3 points

It's looking like Jack Ross is going to Dundee United so Billy Dodds will be staying with us which I am happy with for this coming season as we need a settled manager and team. He would be daft to go if he got the chance as others have not had success after leaving us for a bigger club!3 points

It's interesting that full back is the area of our team we all feel we need to strengthen when Carson and Deas made the championship team of the year. For two guys playing in an unfamiliar position is a magnificent achievement. I agree though that I would like to see Deas at centre half with Devine and Carson pushed into midfield. Always good to know that we have more than adequate cover if needed.3 points

Club accounts for 2020/21 are tough to analyze because of Covid losses - and also because of the funding clubs received from the government as a result. As regards ICT's own situation, I would put forward this question - How many full-time clubs in Scotland are not running either at a loss or close to the wind, year-in, year-out? At the top end you have Rangers and Celtic. Rangers have run up extraordinary losses since 2012 and probably require Champions League football to make a profit. Celtic either need Champions League football or to see a player for an eight figure3 points

Where are you seeing a clamour for glamour friendlies ? I think most of us, after a long hard season with a shortened break, are content with any regime that gets the squad match fit for the season ahead.3 points

In fairness I don't mind looking back at times provided the player can still offer us something. Billy Mckay coming back has been a good move as was resigning Barry Wilson many years ago. But equally there have been others like Dennis Wyness who didn't quite hit the same heights as their original spell. Scott Allan has been released by Hibs and I'd love to have him back at TCS but I suspect he'll head to someone like Saint Johnstone or a Dundee.3 points

There is a good article in the P&J about the club working with the Section 94 young supporters. They are our supporters for the future and I hope to see many more next season.

@No Shin Guards - if you have an issue with how the site is managed, lets discuss this in another thread or via message system. As noted, by a couple of our mods, you are closing your own topics according to the site logs so no-one is shutting you down. However, your methodology and phraseology are familiar to me so lets not pretend here! As mentioned, you do bring some interesting points to the discussions, so lets focus on that, and not the misguided attempt to manufacture censorship that is not in existence.3 points

This poster has made a number of interesting observations well worth discussing. However, I am pretty sure that they would be met with a much more positive response if they were not phrased in a manner that wasn't remotely amusing in the first place and has now become utterly tedious. It's a pity because, as I say, the contents of the posts are often interesting and worthy of debate.3 points

BT had these vans as well as the Post Office the Dodge was an updated version of the Commer PB. They were terrible to drive heavy steering, clunky four speed gearbox, a very narrow wheelbase and very low to the ground so you had to be careful if you were pulling of the road onto a grass verge. I had a spare one in 1982 when my Bedford TK was in the garage and decided to try and cross the Kessock Bridge before it opened. Coming from the Black Isle the road had been tarred and guys were starting to fit the barriers in the middle with no one even looking at the van. A bit further on the tar c3 points

and yet there is the opposite side of the coin with an article about Section 94 that gives some hope to the club working with fans and fostering this whole 'together...NESS' cliche ... seems like a bit of a disconnect somewhere in the mix between these two areas.3 points

Great to see these youngsters support their local team with such passion and enthusiasm. Pleased to see the club engaging positively with them. I realise that money is tight but surely one positive step would be to improve their facilities with the West Stand getting a bit of a tidy up and preferably a roof which would both keep them dry and and channel more of the atmosphere they create onto the pitch rather than disappearing into the sky. I know that I have been critical of the actions of one or two individuals but the vast majority of our young crew have been a great credit b3 points

Thank you for compiling the votes. Shane Sutherland a worthy winner and I do hope he recovers well from that dreadful injury. Also well done to Willie Collum, the absolute winner of being the worst ever referee all season.3 points

Pretty good stuff. Thought the second half might lull after going 6-0 at half time but the youngsters who came on brought new pace and enthusiasm. Some real talent in there. Trialist looked decent - Zak Delaney (?). Thought the boy from Alloa looked pretty sharp as well. McKay looked good as well. Couple of big lads there too! Great to see the possession the young lads kept. just good to be back out again!2 points

Why is it the only time we hear from him is when they want money.

Fully agree re car park. Other clubs keep outside pedestrian only until crowds passed. Only a matter of time till someone gets hurt.2 points

Maybe he was just unhappy there...let's be fair, many of the players that we have signed have not had stellar bio's Samuels for instance was described as, to paraphrase, 'fast but not much end product', but he had a pretty good end of season. Maybe in the right team, with the right coaching?2 points

Boyd scored 5 goals in 13 league games for Alloa, so may have potential with game time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Boyd Shaw doesn’t look to have had much game time but hopefully we see something in him, given our need for creative players: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Shaw Time will tell, but both strike me as squad players rather than regular starters.2 points

To help you cope with the boredom of the close season, here's some ferry porn. To escape from the Joobly madness, we headed for Scotland, and spent the long weekend based in Arisaig. First time I'd been there - weather, scenery, people, food, drink etc were all fantastic and I loved it. We went up to Mallaig on Friday 3rd June, and these four were all photographed there. We'll kick off with the Loch Fyne. Next, the Loch Nevis. Number three, the Lord of the Isles. And finally, the Loch Bhrusda.2 points

There is an event in the village here tomorrow. Not my cup of tea so won't be going. Funded by local funding systems though... I too feel a lot of the money spent could have been better spent on her subjects? A lot of whom are struggling...2 points

I entirely agree. There are some good things going on at board level and sof of them may be commercially sensitive but most are not. Many of us are financially invested in the club, even if only to a very limited extent, all of us are emotionally invested and we do deserve to be kept better informed and on a much more regular basis.2 points

We've not gone back in for Toddy or Donaldson. Just lazy speculation. Also, Donaldson has signed for Falkirk. His career has really taken off since he left us. Get it right up him.2 points

Good luck to Ukraine against Wales. By far the better team for large spells of this match. Thought Scotland were poor in the first half and - not because he is former ICT - I thought it was only when Christie came on and the midfield got more of a grip of the ball that our performance got better. Almost a grandstand finish, which would have been just like Scotland to do things the hard way, but unfortunately (like ICT in the STJ game) when you commit so many forward, you run the risk of conceding that late killer goal. Hope they do the business against the Welsh (no offence to Wales) and2 points

I really think we need a tall striker, a target man, so, that if the game isn't going our way, we can change tactics, and, as we seem to like the long punt up the park, it would be nice if we could actually win some balls in the air, instead of our opponents centre backs winning everything and it coming straight back at us. In the last couple of seasons we had White and Todorov, and it gave us options. We play our best football on the deck with short quick passing moves, and we have got a lot of joy from it, but there is no use bringing on a small striker to replace a small striker when that i2 points

But also every penny. Getting out of the group stage and maybe landing a tie later on against either of the Old Firm or Aberdeen would be a boost in that regard. As with most things, there is a balance to be struck.2 points

St Johnstone 4-0 Inverness CT - Premiership Play Off Final 2nd leg
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2021-22 ,
Inverness Stay Put: It was a winner takes all game tonight after a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Caledonian Stadium on Friday night. Inverness were bolstered by the return of Danny Devine and Wallace Duffy to the squad after their harsh dismissals at Arbroath. A big following went down to Perth, alas after a tremendous first half where we created the better opportunities, it was all undone within a minute of the restart by substitute Stevie May. A second goal killed any lingering hopes from a deflected MacPherson shot. The final two goals from Hendry & Rooney mattered not when the game was being chased and the dream ended, but the memory lives on. Fantastic endeavour from the Caley Jags and a magnificent following on the night.-

St Johnstone -V- Inverness CT - Play off final 2nd leg
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2021-22,
One Game Shootout: Well well, after the drama of Friday night, it all comes down to this game in a winner takes all final. It's another blank canvas after a 2-2 draw at the Caledonian Stadium for the final game at McDiarmid Park Perth on Monday night at 7:45pm. We can thank Reece McAlear for that after his two stunning second half goals cancelled out two first half goals for the Perth side. We should have Danny Devine and Wallace Duffy free from suspension after the Willie Collum debacle. (I notice he was also rubbish in the Showpiece Scottish Cup Final as well. Seriously useless. Maybe VAR will make our refs pull their socks up). Unfortunately, Nick Walsh is allegedly the man in the middle on Monday. That also gives me the fear more than St Johnstone.-

Inverness CT 2-2 St Johnstone - Play off Final 1st Leg
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2021-22 ,
What a turnaround: An understrength Inverness struggled badly against a solid St Johnstone who took a two goal lead into the interval. Shaun Rooney and Melker Hallberg put the Saints in the driving seat. However, step forward Reece McAlear and take a massive bow. A thumping strike off the underside of the bar and an exquisite curling free kick levelled matters and gives us something to play for in the return leg at Perth.-

Inverness CT -V- St Johnstone - Premiership Play-Off
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2021-22,
Play Off Final 1st Leg: It's the second time we have faced St Johnstone in a crucial promotion encounter at the Caledonian Stadium. This game kicks off on Friday night on 20th May at 7:45pm. The last crucial one was back in 2004. It was Saturday 15th of May when Inverness beat St Johnstone 3-1 to top the League on the final day of the season. It took a bit more wrangling to finally clinch promotion after a legal battle, but we got there.-
