Last night was amazing Marc had a ball, so did my little niece Dana, not sure if this is the right place to put this, maybe admin could move it or start a new thread. Rob, myself and more so Marc would like to thank Gabby from this wonderful site for the lovely gift he arranged for Marc !!! Marc had no idea he was going to receive his special award. The night before the get together Marc decided he was wearing his suit to be like the lads, he wore his suit and L_G gave him an ICT tie which he is also so proud of !!!! I would once again like to thank Gabby again you are a star !!!!!! Rob Julie Courtney and mainly Marc !!!!!!! Thank you so much xxxxxx

What a fab night.! Loved all of it. Just been on twitter and its lovely to see the players all tweeting how much they enjoyed themselves. Im so proud to be a supporter of a great club like ours which looks after the mostly young fans in this way. Also a special mention to young Marc who looked so proud when he received his own presentation for his charity work. Question session with Terry, Ritchie and Jonny was good fun. Terry is such a showman with so many stories that he could still be talking now and we would still have been there listening! Thanks to the ST and club for such a great night.

Thanks to everyone who was there last night and made it a wonder evening. The kids were brilliant...not so sure adults would have been so eager given the weather...but it didn't seem to bother the youngsters in the slightest. Credit to the squad who all turned up to take part, even the walking wounded, and made sure that every kid got a chance to meet their favourites. Special mention to the often overlooked Community Dept who organised, set up and ran the kick-around. To be landed with nigh on 100 kids of all ages and have everything run flawlessly is no mean feat. Congratulations to the award winners..... Supporters Trust Player of the Year - Graeme Shinnie Supporters Trust Young Player of the Year - Román Golobart. (can someone list the Supporters Club awards as I can't recall them off top of my head, thanks). Q&A at the end of the night with Terry, Richie and Jonny was as entertaining as the rest of the evening. Trying my hardest to avoid asking the awkward questions, only to have Terry open it to the floor. "Stick with questions from the kids" was my idea, how awkward a question can they throw out there!!! Q1 from the floor "Will Caley get better?"....from the mouth of babes, I really should have known better Still, the question was answered by all three and fair play to them for their honesty and appreciation of how tough a season it has been for everyone. Hope Marmadukes new owners got him home safe and well!!!!

booked and took my 5 year old grandson to the event, totally enjoyed it asking if it is on again next week. excellent evening, all first team squad and tel and mo there mingling with the kids. warned him in the car on way down not to be cheeky when talking to players, he was mascot last year and after toss of coin ran off and had to be chased by ritchie foran and lifted off the pitch under ritchies arm. so he was warned. passed him into his group at the start which was allocated to tade and golabart. next thing tade is shouting jokingly " wheres your grandad i want to see him". i was pointed to and tade comes over " so you dont like me" little b###er listens to me too much on a saturday and told tade straight away. very nice bloke, good crack. on way down told him that his fav hayes was leaving maybe for aberdeen. on way home he told me hayes was not leaving. one of the items tonight was hayes and doran teaching the kids dribbling skills round cones. he asked doran if hayes was leaving to which he says doran replied " jonny is not leaving he is staying with inverness." you heard it here first if you want to believe the little b###er.

Tonight showed why ICT are like no other SPL club. A great end to a not so great season but have come away from it with my faith restored again. A better bunch of players and staff I don't think you could ask for. Huge thanks to everyone involved with the organisation and running of tonights event.

It's been a long hard season, but it's stuff like tonight that remind you why being an ICT fans is about so much more than the football. Kudos to the Supporters Trust and Football Club for coming together to produce an evening that catered for everyone.

A big thank you to all involved in organising this event - the supporters club, supporters trust, club, players, etc. A great evening for those that were able to attend. Was lucky enough to get my son onto the first session for the kick around with the players, and then myself, wife and son in to the second session in the kingsmills suite for the presentations, etc. Great access to the players, management, etc. and good to get the short Q&A session with Terry, Ritchie & Johnny as well. Unfortunately, Hayes' contract was off limits, but a great event. Really helps to get the club connecting with the fan base - particularly the kids (as they are the future of the club) - and this event was brilliant at achieving that. Let's hope there's more like it in the future.

as far as I am concerned, its a geographic rivalry based on proximity, nothing more, nothing less. I dont hate them (except for the days we are playing them), but I also dont like them. I have already congratulated them on winning the league, they did it on merit and it was deserved. However, it will not stop me ripping the pish at every conceivable opporchancity, and I would expect nothing less from the County fans in return !!! Its called banter, and I look forward to plenty of it next season on here and elsewhere. Wonder if County Air will make a re-appearance ??? When it comes to wider geographics, I am also happy for there to be two teams from the Highlands in the SPL as that gets right up the nose of a few folk down south (something that Robbo loves winding them up about too) .... thats another geographic rivalry, but this time, one where we can actually side with county to wind up the likes of Chick, whose insular paisley patter(ned) comments are frequently more offensive to me than the dingwall Gudgies.

I think if Tokely wanted to go or wanted to go to another country, we would know by now. He's had "big money" moves on the table before, Turkey a while back was mentioned, as was a move to the no longer existing North Queensland Fury. If he wanted to go, we'd know by now and I think that the fact that nothing has been said suggests more that he's away and Butcher doesn't wasn't want to face the same level of flack as he did with Munro and Duncan again.

Dunno about County Air but they were doing cruise packages for some of their away games. This was taken at Greenock docks - must have been playing Morton that day.

It really doesn't matter if they are in the 1st Div, 2nd Div or Prem, it doesn't change anything - they are still Travelling Barstewards and the more hidings we give them the better

I think that could be popular. A complete change from what we've had in the past

Don't think the quality is there Alex. The best we have are getting a wee chance now.

I have it on good authority that Ross Tokely has returned to the planet Krypton.

Tokely's been one of the best players this season. Still solid and still seems to be one player who really puts everything into a performance and obviously still really cares about this club. For that reason, I fully expect the tactical genius that is Terry Butcher to punt him at the end of the reason, replacing him with English loanee dud who has no interest in being at the club.

Integrity is about honesty and trust. The SPL is run by dishonest people who cant be trusted. Are we willing to support that and continue to be the laughing stock of the world or do we support an entertainment media that does display integrity? Gabby, your assumptions on losses are based on lies from the leaders of the SPL and the idea that TV would walk away from a league without Rangers. No TV company has come forward and said they would walk away. The only persons who indicated such are those who were in the pockets of Rangers and Celtic. If Scottish football cant be successful without Rangers then Scottish football doesn't deserve to survive.

What i will say is that last season we were a small squad of closely knit players who had a great understanding of each other and how they played and had it not been for a few unlucky performances it would have been a side that made the top 6. IMO that was a side that deserved another crack at the top 6 but that Butcher subsequently dismantled bit by bit. I didn't agree with it because i felt he didn't have to do this but he chose to. I'm not going to shoot it down instantly because for the entire season we have had so many different and difficult circumstances disrupting our season and has allowed the better players who would be in the side virtually no time to build an understanding with each other, which could be the cause of such poor performances. Some players have not been good enough and for that the manager has to take responsibility and i hope they are disposed of and replaced. He needs to start signing players with an aim of keeping them here long term. Can only build well on stability and continuity. Agreed with the above that the board need to back him more in the market as at the end of the day Butcher can only attract players with the money he is given and if he really does have aspirations for making the top 6 he needs to be given the money to attract a better quality of player as opposed to just filling the numbers missing in the squad.
