Off topic slightly I know but surely thus is the time fir all ICT fans to start turning up and supporting the team thereby generating some more cash for the manager. Fully appreciate that the recent home games have not been the most exciting but , to me at least, it just seems like giving some fans another reason not to attend (not that some need one). If we get relegated, don't think we will, then that could be the end of full-time football for some time, so it's up to the fans to get behind the manager and team Moan all you want at the board but at least turn up to help the team.

When I come home after a game and tell my wife what a shite game it was - again, she is at a loss to understand why I still go. But after over 40 years, I think it is healthy still to have a bit of mystery in a marriage.

It seems that some prefer to support/moan without attending, but that mindset I suspect is near impossible to change. Sometimes it's best to just leave them be, they'll miss the nose eventually.

Get rid of the CEO. That'll save a wage AND bring a few fans back.

Doubt it. Didn't realise we were all CEO fans rather than football fans. The team the results the experience that's what we support. Wouldn't even know Scott's name if we winning. Who was ceo with Pele? With butcher? With Robertson first time round? I don't know but I remember baltacha and foran as managers.

7 points separate 9th to 4th. I defeat and we could be bottom but if that's a win we could be 6th. Hardly the doom and gloom times when Dodds left, we were rock bottom and 10 points off the playoffs. Points taken since Dunc arrived Raith = 31 DUtd = 30 Partick = 26 Morton = 22 ICT = 20 Airdrie = 18 Ayr = 17 Dunfermline = 12 Queens = 11 Arbroath = 6 Pos Team Pld W D L F A Pts 1.

Duke you are right about food, clothing and music I would change but as sure as hell I am not going over the bridge to watch County

Might sell a few more seats would be nice to see a decent crowd in for a change.

The response is to win ?

Hibs have a league game on the Wednesday so that will have ruled them out if a Friday game. Only Aberdeen, Motherwell and Rangers have games on the Tuesday so it had to be one of them in the Friday. The disappointment for me is that they’ve preferred Hearts at Airdrie to Hibs at Inverness for the Sunday teatime game. I’d have thought that with our cup pedigree we’d have been picked. That said, I’m much happier with 1500 on a Saturday than 1700 on a Sunday.

My glass is half full, I have faith in Big Dunc and the team to keep us in the league this season regardless of what is happening upstairs.

Wow - look at the pictures mun! I might well be wrong on this but is it not the case that ICT (and other teams) have had more orange away kits than Rangers have? I thought Rangers did it for the first and only time in 2002 (the more recent one was 3rd kit, not the official away kit, being pedantic). Personally I really dislike the orange colour, and understand the connotations it can have, but the presumption by so many that we are trying to copy another team is something that anyone outside Scotland would think is just bonkers!

Eh, neither would or will I, lol

Two sides to every story, - If your favourite restaurant started serving crap food would you still go? - If your preferred clothing brand suddenly dipped in quality would you still buy from them? - If your favourite band brought out an inferior album than previous efforts would you listen to it much? Football is another 'experience' product, and when your club no longer have any consideration for you as a customer and serve up poor quality product you are entitled to give it a miss.

I hope so including all the young ones that were in the north stand for the Dundee United game plus more. I would expect Hibs to have 1000 plus so all we need to do is put on a bit of style and win the game!

I would suggest there would be a lot more public interest in our game than Morton vs Motherwell. Cheap/lazy option based on Friday night logistics.

Ferguson really needs a playmaker in midfield, Longstaff, Shaw Harper don't hurt opposition and Doran is on the fringes of being past it unfortunately. Our survival really depends I'm afraid on a decent player coming in.

15 games left. That's 45 points. That would give us a total of 66 points. Easy.

Great write up for the Women's Academy awards evening on Sunday. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/picture-special-glittering-prizes-as-caley-thistle-women-fc-340019/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

It’s a dire situation financially - we need to trim the squad to garner as much spare cash in the kitty as we can before we bring others in.

Totally agree. A side issue given how undervalued a lot of fans feel at moment

Flip sake, this isn't about a strip (bogging orange one) but about much more than that. Hopefully some relevant questions and feedback are put to the 'Board Member' on Saturday 3rd February about Gardiner and his non ethical approach to the ICT fans.

All this chat about orange strips but nobody mentions the lost in football history of the orange ball. That needs a come back in winter. Whether the strip is right or wrong I guess now it's here the proof of the decision is based on sakes, profits and turnover. If its making the club good money then its a success otherwise its another concern fiasco vanity project.

Personally I disliked the orange strip as soon as I saw it. I’m no fan of other teams, including those who may have orange connections, but it just didn’t seem to be a likely colour for an ICT strip. All the other strips, yes, especially the pink one, but except the full black one (when we paid handsomely to have our names thereon, but it seemed unlucky as far as I recall).

Sorry man but I have to strongly disagree it's a carbon copy of the Rangers orange kit anyone who says otherwise needs to go to specsavers. We haven't released a Orange kit in over 20 years n the last one had no blue in it. Looked more like Dundee Utd & that was the only one we ever did. Why after 20 years have we decided to release a Orange & blue kit??? It's baffling Everyone I have shown the away kit to has said it looks like Rangers not ICT that's very important Never had that with any of our kits. The clubs identity is important to me so that's why it annoys me. Our away kit last season was so popular they've re released this season as a third kit. This kit on the other hand will be on a half price deal soon in a desperate bid to get rid of them all cause no one is buying them

Apologies for the irregular updates in this thread but I think most of you know where to the find the pod these days anyway. Nonetheless, the guys have recorded a new episode and it features an interview with David Wotherspoon

Due to the horrendous weather we have faced this week and the weather warning in place for Sunday we requested this game to be postponed which was granted by the SWF. A new date will be confirmed soon

I might have a favourite restaurant, but I eat in many different ones, hell I even eat at McDonald's once in a blue moon. I only support one team. If you don't support your club, fair enough , maybe they just aren't your club anymore. So go to that other restaurant, stop buying those Armani jeans, and ffs just give up on Kasabian!

Our game must’ve been considered by BBC, there’s not much between ours and the 2 games they picked in terms of general public interest and likelihood of a shock. I suspect geography and cost might’ve been the deciding factor. Oh and who’d have thunk it, Viaplay picked the Rangers and Celtic matches!

Ayr won 2-0 so are now above us. We’re in 8th, only ahead of Queens Park by a point with Arbroath three behind us. Squeaky bum time again.

A Rangers supporting CEO releasing an orange strip on 12th July, and we're all expected to believe it's coincidental? Pull the other one
