  1. That's certainly one in a long line of poor decisions from our current CEO (and by letting him make them the board). I think appointing Foran as manager (and in our typical way letting him linger way too long after it clearly wasn't working out) was a huge error. Appointing Yvonne Crook as CEO (yes remember her) was a huge error as she knew absolutely nothing about football or running a football club. We of course followed up with Scot 'Bluenose' Gardiner, while having at least a football background he left a trail of clubs where if we'd spent 5 mins speaking to his previous clubs and their supporters you'd get a clear picture of narcissistic incompetence. Admittedly he has achieved a lot since arriving - alienating fans, betraying local businesses, disrespecting and ignoring the Trust, half empty concerts, failed fan forums, failed 'raise the roof' campain, overt obsessive pro-Rangers stance, BS re the Freeport benefits and a continuous slide downwards on the pitch. To name a few. I do appreciate the board and others who have contributed financially however these appointments are their doing and they have to take responsibility for that. On the park we've had Robbo who stepped back as manager and we kept paying him for years to do God knows what, thereafter Billy likes Fitba who while seemed a nice guy wasn't up to the task and his recruitment was pretty atrocious. Now we have Big Dunc on an alleged £4k a week with whom I've seen nothing to give me much confidence he can recruit or manage the team at anything more than a bog standard level. I could prattle on but you get the gist. Every time me make a big decision especially around recruitment, it's a poor one and we let people linger around far too long.

  2. Forget he ifs, buts and maybes. We're where we deserve to be and the table doesn't lie. There is no fight in the team, no discernible tactical style of play, players are picked to avoid paying their wages, decent players sit on the bench irrespective of what's happening on the pitch. Ferguson signed five centre halfs and we still ship ludicrously soft goals against teams who're already on holiday and last night aside we seem completely unable to score nearly enough goals. From my perspective Ferguson's appointment has been an unmitigated disaster and whether we sink or survive he needs to go along with the clown who pushed for his appointment. How the board can sit through the barage of anti-Gardiner chants at every home game and not address the issue is beyond me. To be facing relegation to the third tier is an utter embarrassment for the club and those responsible should be held accountable. Onwards to Montrose on Tuesday I guess.

  3. If only we'd shown tonight's second half performance in one, just one, other home game this season and turned 0 points into 3, we'd be sitting in 5th place now! It's been a fiasco at home!

  4. I think what we deserve is to stay in the Championship. When big Dunc arrived at the club, we had played 6 games in the league and had only 1 point. If the league table had started when he arrived, then we would have finished 5th. Given the number of injuries we have had over the season, that's not too bad a record overall. I've said before that Ferguson's style of play has often been a pretty hard watch, but if we can just find a bit of spark up front, then there is no reason why we can't be competitive and entertaining in the Championship next year. If we do go down, then I think we have the potential to bounce straight back under Ferguson. I do think we have enough to get through the play-offs though and hopefully we will do so with a good support at the home games.

  5. A surprisingly large crowd for this game. Brilliant vocal support from all the youngsters in section D too. But where the f**k have you been all season?

  6. Quite a comfortable win tonight although the first half was poor. I thought Morton were a disgrace with some of their tackles and mouthing off, not to mention Broadfoot’s provocative goal celebration. Thankfully the ref cottoned on in the second half and belatedly started dishing out cards. It made me glad we didn’t appoint Imrie as I’d hate to see us playing like that. Credit to Harper for keeping cool at the penalty and the strikes by Boyes and McAllister both looked good. I think we’ve all been resigned to this for some time, and we are actually going into the play offs in decent form, with 10 points out of the last 15. Four big games ahead to save our season, and maybe also save our club. I just hope Ferguson has seen enough of MacGregor in his short game time to start him on Tuesday. For me, the problem stemmed from all late goals we conceded earlier in the season. At one point, we’d shipped 12 points (if my memory serves me right) to goals in the 80th minute or later, largely as our tactic was to try to defend what we had (very unsuccessfully!).

  7. A good game tonight with a great crowd especially the young ones in the North Stand If only we had another couple of games like that we would be safe and sound but over the season our home games have been crap and that's why we have ended up in the play offs

  8. I hope a recording of the game will show the antics of Morton’s goalie before the penalty was taken (what a bellend) and also Broadfoot’s assault on Alex Samuel. Imrie seems to have coached his team tactics on thuggery.

  11. I think the criticism of Ferguson is way over the top and, realistically, the club cannot afford to pay him off. Without doubt he has made mistakes but he is learning his trade and his lack of knowledge of football at this level didn't help. There gave been signs in the last few games that he was starting to make things work. Don't forget the mess that Dodds left with no real strikers apart from Billy, who let's face it, isn't as sharp as he once was. I think we will win through the play offs and if we do, the hard work will start to get a team together next season. Don't forget, some posters on here would have been happy with Imrie as manager.

  12. Brilliant game brilliant atmosphere on a lovely night ,just a pity a bit too late but not over yet. So glad Dougie Imrie is not our manager ,if that is his style his team were a disgrace .They had nothing at stake and the treatment to our players was disgusting .As for Muirhead he has to receive some punishment for his conduct on the sending off .He was right in the face of the ref with very abusive disgusting language ,kicked the wall in anger (possibly a broken toe or two ) then on way into tunnel looks to Caley bench giving rude hand signal .Absolutely shocking behaviour from any player .He must be dealt with accordingly. Dougie Imrie has nothing to be proud of .. C.mon Caley Thistle we can do this albeit the hard way and with discipline..

  15. The opposite is true. The best seasons in our history occurred when Muirfield Mills were active and putting money in, from 2012 to 2019. We’ve been declining ever since.

  17. Not here to moan but we could have done with some live radio commentary last night. I remember Moray Firth used to do it and Im sure a couple of fans did it at one point. So i need to ask what happened to the various media (Radio, TV) that the club, fans, local radio used to provide? Oh and I don't live in Inverness so home games are tricky to get to for me. #IBelieve

  18. Starting in April with two wins. Home against Arbroath and away to Queens Park followed with a loss at home to Raith Rovers and a draw away at Dunfermline. The winner for April is Alex Samuel with Cameron Harper and Cameron Kerr close behind. The PotY standings are now Alex Samuel leading with Cameron Harper, Billy Mckay, Nikola Ujdur, and Max Anderson still in the running. A good start to May last night playing well and securing a good win against Morton so lets hope we can keep it going into the playoffs! Please keep voting.

  20. IMO we were not adventurous enough going forward. We were clearly better than most teams but were happy to knock the ball about, until ultimately the game just fizzled out to nothing. No standout player either who could raise the game or the supporters, we kinda just plodded on regardless.

  24. Well done Alex very well deserved not only for your contribution every game but for the shocking treatment you receive from the opposition. You deserve a medal for rising above it and never complaining .I really hope you can stay with us for next season . PotY next hopefully.

  27. You can add on the chairman refusing to let Yogi speak to Yenitit, in an attempt to avoid showing weakness. If Yogi had gone then, we would have got compensation and been able to afford better than Richie. As for Richie, anybody who saw us capitulate at Hamilton on a Tuesday night in January knew he should have been gone the next morning. Exactly.

  28. The final slide down the slipway started with us reaching the cup final, it kept Dodds in the job. Without that reprieve we may very well have had a new manager in place before the season started and hopefully have avoided the disastrous start to the season.

  33. Do you not think that most of the loanees from England were positive but injuries played a part. I still think that getting shot of Carson and Welsh was a big mistake and add in the "losses" from last season like Allardyce - all money saving exercises. I do think that Dunc's lack of knowledge of our level of football and his naivety in playing "modern" football was admirable but you can't instill that quickly when the players don't know each other, are unknown quantities and there was nobody up front to utilise until Samuel arrived.

  34. He has had 30 games and a transfer window to keep us up…….. he hasn’t managed to do that even with his loan signings from big clubs in England. What makes you so sure he can do better with less budget in a lower league( if we end up there).

  35. There are so many factors at play. We started this season with a weaker squad than we had last year. (This can be said every year, sadly) Financial constraints impacting the playing budget further, most notably around January. The manager(s) Lack of leadership on the pitch Strikers firing blanks Injuries Not getting our fair share of luck across the season? Certainly feels that way to me.

  36. To the game itself, what was Muirhead (not) thinking? That was a Derek Adams level meltdown! Wouldn't be surprised if he's broken a few toes kicking the wall on his way off nutter! I guess the club will receive a substantial fine for the object thrown on the pitch after Broadfoot's goal. Typical Scottish football double standards; the authorities turn a blind eye/deaf ear to 50,000 idiots spouting sectarian bile every week, but one moron in inverness and they throw the book at us! Bit of ott shithoosery from broadfoot imo, who was well received here when playing for us. Daftie! To the playoffs we go. Who knows how that will turn out. I'm sure we'll get whatever we deserve!

  37. This season? It went wrong when we started with Dodds in charge and never looked like improving much when we chose to chase the headlines with his 'big name' replacement. Before that the clubs decline on and off the park seems to coincide with Muirfield Mills appearing on the scene.
