He's only missing one game, as he'd be missing the Utd one anyway. So, by diving, he gets: 1) 3 points for his team 2) win bonus 3) goal bonus 4) post-match adulation from fans and teammates And just misses one game as a result. Not much of a deterent, is it. The annoying thing is that the Scotish media is so weak and toothless. Next time he's up for interview, will anyof the journos ask him why he launched himself into the air half when he was still a foot away from Brill? No, of course not. He won't be villified at all and it'll all be forgotten by tomorrow. Except by us.3 points

Well done to the governing body and the Compliance officer. Would like to see an automatic deduction of at least 1 point against the club though. They have benefited. Perhaps there could be cumulative penalties - 1 pt for first offence, 2 for 2nd and so on.3 points

Remember that the referee was cheated too!! It is slightly unfair to criticise the referee who had just a split second to make a decision.2 points

The game should be replayed or the points confiscated........that would make managers discourage their players from doing this. A two game ban is not sufficient punishment. We have been cheated and punished with a drop of three places, it is a costly blunder by any standard of refereeing and may also have cost us the league title!!!!!!!!!!2 points

If you fined the manager along with the player, it would soon stop!1 point

Sad if he leaves but if the Birmingham story is true then fair play, a truly big club playing in one of the biggest leagues in Europe. Also a good old GIRUY to all those insufferable Aberdeen fans who've had so much to say on this issue. Hopefully he makes the most of the time he still has with us. Have to say though, it's about time me actually received a transfer fee, if you look at all the players we've helped develop in recent years, Barry Robson, Dennis Wyness, Johnny Hayes, Adam Rooney, Don Cowie, Andrew Shinnie etc, and we haven't received a penny for any of them. Pretty scandalous really, especially when you look at the ridiculous money Dundee Utd have received for players of similar quality. Not sure what the answer is in this regard. Longer contracts seem the most obvious solution. Something has to change. We can't keep losing our most valuable players year after year on frees. It's totally inept.1 point

He should be strung from the cross bar and the ICT players each get three shots to smash a ball in to his goolies.1 point

Having found against him both teams should share the points, as in a draw. Anything else is utterly ridiculous IMHO. So diving is now a proven way of benefitting the team. What a farce. If such is against the rules then our team must have retribution. Otherwise the whole scenario is a farce.. The top brass at ICT should launch a formal complaint and ask for retribution and an award. That point may be the difference between going into Europe and not going in. Definitely a valid complaint. Cause a stink, CaleyThistle. Stop the rot now before it develops into a very serious disease. You should, because it's only the squeaky wheel that gets the oil.1 point

I'd like to see Ferg get a crack, he's a great lad and he seems to be progressing well. Slightly off topic, but is Ferg likely to be away woth Canada U20 for the whole of January?1 point

Good to see him being punished for cheating. I agree that it should be the player that is penalised, but I also feel some discomfort that his team benefits in the short term (by at least 2 points in this case). In the longer-term St J might pay a penalty(!) through his absence from 2 games, but that doesn't sdo us much good! Uncomfortable as it is, however, I don't think retrospective points deductions or replays etc is an option - it would just become a farce over the season. I think we just have to swallow the bitter pill and take our frustration out on Aberdeen!1 point

Exactly why camera evidence should be used during such incidents in a game. Kingsmills, my argument is based on the fact that referees are very often in the wrong position at such times and that is where blunders come in. Also if Clubs were penalised then managers and management would soon start discouraging such actions. I am quite sure that as it stands now some managers and management are secretly pleased to win any game fairly or unfairly, all that matters to them is that it's all about money in the end. Bring back some principles into the game then there would be less cheating...........Mind you, that could be said about life in general.1 point

Graham has been cited by the SFA CO. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/st-johnstone/304591-st-johnstones-brian-graham-cited-for-diving-against-inverness-ct/1 point

one thing for certain is that this won't do his form any good! My guess is that his Dad will advise him to stay another year here, cement a fitrst team place and then move on to get the kind of wage that he deserves. Celtic would not be everyone's cup of tea by any means - need a strong constitution to play there.....1 point

Aberdeen would be a bad move for GS. I don't mind losing players to the Championship (it is afterall, the fourth biggest league in Europe!) where you'd be playing the likes of Norwich, Derby, Nottingham Forrest, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton Wanderers etc every week. Heck, if a few of our boys go down there I might even stay up late to watch the football league show. But a move to Aberdeen? Development-wise, it's a side step at best. You'd still be playing the same SPL teams week in week out. Comparing their philosophy and style of play to ours, you could even argue that it'd be a backward step. Why leave a structure / environment which is facilitating your development so successfully? The money would be better, but if it offsets or delays your big move down south, you might even be at a net loss in the long term.1 point

Aaron Doran - Club Legend
tm4tj posted an article in News 2024-25,
Shameful: Thanks to Shane Sutherland, the generosity of friends, fans, former colleagues and opponents, Aaron has now had his operation. However it has emerged that he had posted on Instagram regarding his sad dismissal and treatment from the Board of Inverness CT who have treated Aaron in a similar way to which they have been treating the fans. Let's not forget that Aaron was due to have a testimonial for his service to the club.-

Administration pending unless...
tm4tj posted an article in News 2023-24,
Administration pending, unless... How can we go from SupercaleygoballisticCelticareatrocious in the year 2000, to Scottish Cup Winners in 2015, playing in Europe and just 9 years after lifting the Cup; Administration. Mismanagement and our demise was hastened by the appointment of Scot Gardiner. Ever since then, ludicrous decision making has seen our stock plummet whilst 'shady' dealings were investigated. The failed Concert Company, the Battery Storage, the Statkraft contract have all ended badly leaving the club facing insolvency.
That's another fine mess you've got us into.-

New Chairman Wanted, Apply Within
tm4tj posted an article in News 2023-24,
Chairman Ross Morrison resigns
Nothing official from the club as we speak, but the Inverness Courier are running with a story that Ross Morrison has resigned at 18:00 tonight 3rd June. More to come as this story develops, but most fans are looking for more heads to roll.
Speaking exclusively to The Inverness Courier, Mr Morrison said he is leaving now because of the aftermath of the Fife move. “I believe it [the move to Fife] is the best way forward and I have to stick with my beliefs,” Mr Morrison said. “This is the reason I'm stepping down now.”
Reflecting on his time with the Caley Thistle, Mr Morrison said: “My six-year tenure with the club has had some great and some not so great times but through everything I was immensely proud to be the chairman of the club and clubs I’ve supported for 50 years - I was a Jaggie by the way.
“I would ask the fans to rally round the club at this time and show their support by not only purchasing their season tickets but also getting involved directly with the club to see how they can help.
“Hearing fans saying they would prefer administration to training the first team in Kelty sent a shiver down my spine. Administration is a desperate thing to happen to a club and must, at all cost, not happen to ICTFC.”-
