Does anyone know if the club are still doing DLA Concessions to games? If so....what are the requirements. In the past, i think the system has been discriminatory, as depsite me qualifying for DLA (which is the MAIN determining factor, without which i wouldnt be considered), because i didnt have a "Carer" i wasnt accepted under the scheme. Now....surely the fact i get DLA should be enuff to qualify. Just coz i dont have a carer shouldnt mean i am not afforded the same privalages as a physially handicapped person. I get DLA on Mental Health grounds....so i feel that the club are demeaning my health issues, just coz i dont have a Carer. PS...i did try about 20 times to email the club thro the new site....but that stoopit forking capatcha thing (whoever came up with that should be shot!!) I obviously wasnt getting the unfathomable wording correct.

You might be the only person there on crutches who is not an ICT player!

ICT are in a very precarious position. Let us in the hands of an egotist and another Gretna is on the cards. We don't have the fallback of a stadium for any guarantor of financial stability. We just can't go beyond our means. So let's hope we absolutely know who and why this buyer is interested.

Have the SPL/SFA changed the way the appeals procedure works? The reason I ask is that from what I remember when an appeal is made they confer with the referee who was at the game and ask him to review his decision, in my opinion not what an appeal should be about as how many referee's were likely to say they were wrong. If the procedure has been changed and it is an independant panel who review them without the referee's opinion being heard then great, if it hasn't then unfortunately I don't think anyone will have much luck with appeals this season including us.

The 2nd penalty highlights what is wrong with football now. It is absolutley not a penalty, the slightest of contact sends the largest player on the football pitch crashing down. I remember watching Italia 90 and commentators nearly laughing at the antics of Jurgen Klinsmann. Nowadays though that is completely accepted as part of the game. The diving, cheating and constant greed of the players is now killing the game. They may all shake hands at the end of the game but its far from an honourable game anymore!

I mean no disrespect with this post SMEE, and I am not trying to minimise or compare your diagnosed condition to any other person entitled (or not entitled) to DLA concessions at the TCS as I am not qualified to do so .... However, on a pure discussion basis, it comes across that you feel you are entitled to a discount or a freebie, yet when legitimate suggestions are made on ways where you can put in even a small effort to get your point across and argue your case for that concession, either with the club, the Trust, or with CLAN, its a case of ...."f*** it, cant be bothered, I'll listen to the radio". You want the concession, but equally you seem to want someone else to try and get it for you ...... Sorry, but no-one is going to hand it to you on a plate, especially a business who are prepared to make concessions where it is required, or where a good case is made by representative groups or as the result of discussions with those groups. Equally, those representative groups are not going to represent you unless you actually speak up and make your point ... You obviously feel strongly, and if your opinion holds water with those who know far more about it than most of us on here, or who have direct access to the club in shaping this policy, surely it is worth it to get involved, even if only briefly ?

Ach.....al just have to stick to listening to games on the Radio

It used to be ANYONE on DLA....now....its only those on mid to high rate. Let me assure you....this is not a fair way to work it as there are people who qualify for this yet their medical issues are results of self abuse.....then people like myself, whos medical issues are naturally occuring who dont qualify. I think it should be open to ANYONE on DLA!

I am 100% with you Sir C the 3rd. We were desperate up front . We simply have nobody in attack. Rangers were very poor , but we were simply dire. Dons may have got gubbered against Hearts , but would not be surprised if we get a drubbing at Pittodrie at the weekend. Itsjust not happening in Inverness just now!!! You have your work cut out Terry and Maurice.........I am very cocerned !!!

I USED to be eligible to get the DLA concession....certainly up until the season prior to last.....as i had applied for it and been accepted, even tho they had changed the format from prior seasons.....BUT......i never made use of it. In the end, instead of using the concession...i usually just paid the going rate at the gate on the rare occasion i could make it to a game. Trust me on this.........its far from the case that i expect anyone to get anything on my behaalf. Im very adept at taking on organisations that Make ICT look like small fry....and winning! I just cant be bothered getting stuck in on this occasion
