Amid all the doom and gloom, let’s take a moment to praise Billy on scoring his 102nd goal for us and becoming our all time record goal scorer. Its a shame goals 101 and 102 came in defeats, but he continues to show his value and commitment to the club. His work rate is immense and he is a great role model for our younger players. The achievement is well deserved and I hope there are many goals in him during the rest of his time with us. Well done Billy!

...and Ethan Cairns to Forres. As much as I'd like to have some of these guys available, particularly Cairns as he would give us something different up top, they will surely continue to develop more by playing every week rather than bench warming or ballboy gigs.

Our Jackie should have got a knighthood years ago. Nobody has given more to junior football in Inverness

And scored what sounds like a cracker today as they ran Buckie close.

What! I started it...

I'm a close personal friend of Billy Mckay.

Where’s the evidence for this? Of our players out of contract we released Boyd, Sutherland, Walsh and Woods. Everyone knew Deas was moving on. Only Allardice turned down a new contract. All other out of contract players agreed new deals. If they were unhappy with the set up here more surely some would have moved on!

Billy Mckay is a man who understands, and has consistently delivered, for The Caley. I am willing to look past him being briefly seduced by Tory Roy to call him a true club legend. The fact that our ******** CEO was messing him around over a contract in the summer speaks volumes. I hope he outlasts those in charge and continues to score when he wants for a long time to come.

It could be worse, Mrs Brown, we could be Hibs fans mourning a defeat to an amateur team from the tiny principality of Andorra.

A Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray. I didn't take a photo of the front, but but you can find them easily.

What's your actual problem with the Supporters Trust Board that you seem to think it's ok to come on here and slate them at every turn possible and points fingers? Quite the statements given your relative new found voice on here and very little content. I would suggest that users on here who are part of the Supporters Trust are here in the same capacity as you and I, to post our feelings with like minded people and scan for fans views. Maybe instead of pointing fingers and coming across as being slightly childish, especially in matchday threads, you should contact the Trust direct and see if you can get some help or answers from them direct. Knowing that the Trust works on behalf of the fans, I am sure they'd only be too willing to assist in any way they can if you put it across in a more constructive manner to them direct.

All three goals came from us giving the ball away in our own half. Really poor. I hope that this is just the pre-season affect.

I think we need a reality check. Our players returned for pre season about two weeks after all the other teams. We only had two friendlies against low level teams. The fact that we’ve struggled in the group should not be a surprise. As is said above, we have rotated players and treated the games as pre season. The time to worry is if we are struggling about five games into the new league campaign. I agree with Doofer’s Dad that the injury to Nicolson impacted our first half. The players could see how serious it was. Whether we would have avoided the mistakes is another matter. I saw enough in the first 15 and after the break to be hopeful that we can have a good campaign. We played some decent stuff and were being positive. Shaw and Longstaff are happy to take players on which creates space. Gilmour could grow into the Allardice role. Yes we have been shaky at the back but we’ve mixed the pairing up. We’ve looked best when Duffy has been playing but I’m sure Devine will come on to his game soon. I understand the negativity but feel it is far too early. Let’s see where we are in mid September. And I really hope Nicolson is not as badly injured as we fear. He’s a real prospect.

Getting mixed messages here. Are you a fan of Billy Dodds or not?

We shot ourselves in the foot by gifting the two goals in the first half. Until then we looked better than in our earlier games. We were much better in the second half and deservedly got back in it. We played some decent stuff, with Carson, Shaw, Bray and Gilmour probably the pick. Longstaff looks a decent signing too whilst Davidson looks effective going forward and hopefully won’t repeat the slackness that cost us a goal. The jury is out for me with Brooks but he’s not had many minutes. Devine looks out of sorts but hopefully just needs time to get back to full fitness and sharpness. We looked the more likely to win it but conceded late on when tying to get a winner. Now Mckay has passed Wyness’ total hopefully he goes on a scoring run. Gilmour’s goal was a cracking finish, whilst Samuels came very close before we conceded late on. I understand the negativity in the posts above (not sure how many of those posting were at the game) but if we can maintain the level of performance we showed in the second half we will not be too far away. Unfortunately Airdrie are another team that will wind the clock down and try to con the refs. Losing Lewis Nicolson is a big blow as he was looking good again tonight. I heard it being discussed in the stand that he’d messaged a pal indicating it was a bad one and he could miss the whole season. Hopefully that was just talk and it’s not as serious as feared.

Don’t think that’s a question that should be raised right now. The guy has just been offered a 2 year contract. Irrespective whether we think that was right or wrong, the fact is it is in place. We can’t afford to pay him off, simple, so we just move on! Tonight’s result ends interest in this cup. We just hope Dodds and the team learn from the mistakes over the past two games and get it right for the league games ahead. We can’t enter into another winter like last year!! bc

Cairns would never play regular for us,he's too tall and might actually win an ariel challenge

So you read the thread title and you're still confused?

Maybe the head of the Supporters Trust Board can submit it in an email to the SLO! - Oh I forgot, no one in the STB looks at the forum, (makes you wonder why their there), and the ICT suggestion box disappeared years ago! bc
