  1. At this rate of points per game we actually at the end of the season could amass at a push double figures in points ! And to our shameless board of directors as it stands is acceptable?? Ffs wake up. Finishing up the league a couple of places higher generates money which could pay that hopeless one off . Not that we needed to be in this position Had it not been for some ridiculous person giving a 2 year extension to his contract . This extension certainty shocked the vast majority of supporters young and old . Way too many unnecessary positions at the club ( ceo , sporting director) that seem to be not generating anything but increase the wage bill . Feel free to enlighten us. We are not a big club at this time sadly and no need for jobs for the boys !!

  3. A big improvement in the first half, but that wouldn't be very difficult going by past performances. Officials were pathetic, the number of 50/50 that went in their favour was horrendous and the linesmen couldn't see what was offside or on. Typical second half from ICT. Our opposition change things to get a grip on the game, and our 'so called' coaching staff look at a magical folder for answers! Football matches are never won by looking at a folder, and Dodds doesn't have a clue how to counteract things when tactics need changing. Time to look at the 2 year contract to see if there are any loopholes so we can dispense with Dodds now, before we are deeper in the mire.

  4. Hopefully the new signings will settle into the side quickly and make a big difference. If they don't then they will, at least, add another chapter to Doods new book 'A 1001 Excuses For Being Shite'

  5. When we started to revert to Hoofball in the second half, I thought the 'Magical Folder' might have told the clowns, sorry, coaches, that introducing Big Harry Lodovica might have been an option, but no, the said Magic Folder told them to take off Mckay and put on Samuels to try and out jump their big centre backs! It's not Dodds and Co's fault, bad Folder bad Folder.

  7. Offside decisions looked suspect to say the least. Couple of good shots from Gilmour going close. Good goal from Shaw although keeper maybe at fault. Waiting on making changes required gave Dunfermline the opportunity to get back in the game. It was glaringly obvious that fresh legs were required. Poor decision by Ridgers to come for the ball as didn’t look any need to. Harper requires to stop giving the ball to the opposition and inviting pressure. Probably would have seen the game out and had chances to kill it off had we avoided losing poor goal; still at that unfortunately. Hopefully with the new additions we can consolidate and push on in the league. Better signs and nice that we weren’t having to chase the game for a change. Although the three points were there for us today and disappointing not to take them. Dunfermline sniffed a steal at the end and good we resisted that.

  8. Kind of demonstrates how tactically basic we are that everyone is working out how to overcome us. Hoofball with with the pint sized recruitment is a gift for the cloggers in this league.

  9. Today, I stayed away. Nice weather. Cycled my bike. Chilled out and enjoyed a positive afternoon away from hoofball. Didn't miss it at all. Quite sad indeed as in seasons past wouldn't have missed a home match for anything. Give me a shout when Dodds and Gardiner are gone please.

  10. Seriously though what strengths, we came out in that second half and never strung more than 2 passes together. We never went looking for a second to try and kill the game ,we just sat in . In the end we were fortunate to take a point.

  11. We should have won that but I also feel we were lucky not to lose it. We started poorly but then got a grip of the first half and deservedly led at the break. I’d like to see the offside for Brooks’ “goal” again as he looked onside to me. He finished it well. The goalie was at fault for Shaw’s goal, but he came close shortly after with a really powerful effort as did Gilmour. We were poor after the break, although Brooks was denied again by what may have been a wrong offside decision when put through on the goalie. Bray had two mazy runs and shots but unfortunately could not hit the target. Thanks for posting the goals. I had not realised the extent to which we gift wrapped it for Dunfermline, and it had to be their no 5 who was “at it” all game. The officials were poor (even if it turns out that they got the offside calls right) letting some poor challenges go and allowing Dunfermline to gain 10 yards at every throw in. Positives for me were Boyes and Anderson, who both look good additions. Boyes settled in to a decent game after a nervy opening, whilst Anderson was comfortable in midfield and looking to make positive passes. Bray again impressed when he came on. I also liked what I saw of Brooks. Shaw once again was our best player. Dunfermline made us play hoofball by pressing our defenders at goal kicks. A disappointing end and outcome, but some positives which I hope we can build on in our upcoming games. Raith away and Dundee United at home will be tougher challenges, so we need to cut out the mistakes and play to our strengths.

  12. 4,4,2 was a good set up today.First 10 mins we were ropey but once we scored we settled and were decent rest of half with Shaw best by far.Boyce and Andrrson look good additions.Second half we lost our way a bit and I guess we all knew what would likely happen and did. Easy goal for them. Dunfermline changed tactics second half and we didnt do anything to countrr. Putting subs on with minutes to go is a waste of time,at least give them 10 or 15 minutes and a chance to get into the game and do something.On paper we look okay,so if we could build on confidence who knows and a pocket full of different tactics plans and options would help.Official poor.

  13. I really hope that things start turning around today and to be blunt we can't afford to go 0 out of 12 as we are then in survival mode already. The signings this week won't make any difference in the short term. And sadly they smack of desperation and bargain basement.

  14. Blimey, I've only just realised that Robbie Deas is apparently aged 23, so was a mere 20years old when he joined us, so by comparison Boyes should be 'ready to go' and Nikola Ujdur an mature and experienced campaigner. Three players in, in one week!

  15. Nikola Ujdur is certainly a more exotic (and more unpredictable) signing than we have been used to in these Championship years. Hopefully he gets his work visa! As far as I can recall the last time we brought someone over from Australia was about 20 years ago, a forward called Adriano Pellegrino who was on trial one summer but didn’t get an offer. He must’ve been good though, he went on to play for 20 different clubs!

  18. For most of last season, teams were pressing at our goal kicks so we had to go long. With Duffy pushing forward from right back, Ridgers was trying to find him at times but with mixed success and when Duffy won the header it didn’t always go to one of our players. Anderson gives us some height in midfield so shorter kicks to him may work, but Billy and Brooks are small although they did win and retain possession from high balls more than I’d have expected. A midfielder coming deep to pull the opposition midfield out of position would give us a better option in my opinion as it would create space. But what do I know? I don’t have a magic folder!!

  19. Level Pars A flurry of transfer activity saw three new players join the Caley Jags ahead of this game. With Billy Dodds under pressure from the fans, Max Anderson and Morgan Boyes not only turned up at the Caledonian stadium, but were in the starting XI. However, we have to wait a bit longer to see Nikola Ujdur once all his paperwork is rubber stamped down under. Sean Welsh missed out again along with a couple of longer term absentees. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A cagey opening ten minutes was disrupted two minutes later when Nathan Shaw took on a speculative shot from distance. It was low and maybe the keeper thought it was going past, but it went under his body and trundled into the net off the post to give Inverness a much needed opening goal. Keeper won't want to see that one again. Shaw was prominent in most moves forward and Charlie Gilmour fired a couple of fierce shots a yard or two wide. Adam Brooks had the ball in the net nearer half-time but was adjudged to be offside with Sharp again looking suspect as he tried to save the shot. Little else of note in a turgid first forty-five played in blustery conditions. HALF TIME: 1-0 After the break, if anything, it was even more turgid with any fluent breaks forward coming from the visitors. Substitute Keith Bray did well to create an opening for himself but his finish was weak and saved low to his right by Sharp. The Pars earned their share of the points when Hamilton headed in after a short corner was chipped into the box by Moffat with Mark Ridgers caught in no mans land. Soft goal to give away with ten minutes remaining. With a couple of minutes left Ridgers made amends when Moffat looked favourite to score but the keeper did well to save low to his left and keep the score level. FULL TIME: 1-1 The two new loan payers aquitted themselves well without setting the pulses racing. The defence did appear to be more rigid although we were found wanting at the equaliser. Nathan Shaw was the most likely to cause problems and so it proved. Poor decision by Ridgers to decide to flap at thin air for the goal but made amends to earn our point with a tremendous save later. Pars were much more direct than us and you couldn't grudge them their point. However that point still leaves us floundering at the foot of the table with one point from a possible twelve.

  20. Sadly at 4.50 all our 'jobs for the boys' had disappeared from their cushy padded seats straight into the bar. All had made themselves scarce before Carson and co had even left the pitch. Only the Pars board were left acknowledgeing their players. Absolutely no faith in any of them and do wonder how many have the club at heart and are not just on some ego trip.

  21. Stand side linesman missed a blatant corner to Dunfermline in the first half when Boyes clipped the ball trying to shepherd it out, and it looked like he gave us a throw when Davidson sclaffed it out in the second half.

  25. Ridgers caught in two minds. Once he starts out he has to commit to going for the ball or, as happened, it's an easy goal for them. Nevermind, that's us now on an unbeaten run

  26. One DRAW in 7 games this is pathetic and enough is enough . Now for the dribble of excuses which Diddy Dodds has probably got written already . Worst coach ever and it’s just setting new winless records that would be very hard to beat by anyone . Times well up get rid of this Dud or there will be no fans left supporting the club as your continuously driving them away .

  27. Definitely 442. Dodos has seen sense at last. Shaw the best player on the park by a country mile. Need a second goal though and probably would have had it but for a horrendous decision by the far side linesman for offside against Brooks.

  28. Tight game, pars started well, doing that quick pass & move stuff that we hate. We seem to have grown into it since the goal. Anderson & Boyes looking the part. Boyes in particular looks like a stroll in this league...back four in no doubt as to who is in charge today.

  41. I’m no happy clapper but all I’m urging is for everyone to show support to the players from the off tomorrow to help their confidence. Certainly where I sit, if we lose a goal there is plenty encouragement then being given to our players from many around me, for a few seconds at least. Equally there are plenty moans and groans along the way and choice words aimed at players. I’ve never been berated for cheering the team. I’m in the main stand but don’t rustle sweeties!
