It’s worth remembering that the previous regime didn’t want the bar at all and it had lacked care and investment for many years. At one of the Fans Meetings, Ross Morrison told fans he was looking to rent it out to a medical company. The Supporters Trust saw it had potential and funded the improvements (that were carried out by volunteers), rebranded it, secured Dog Falls as a partner, extended the opening hours, and got volunteers to staff the bar. It is now very much a partnership between the Trust and the club: the Trust runs it, the club profits from it. It is great it is now somewhere fans wish to use, and that Scott Kellacher and the players are joining fans there after games.

Easy! Gardiner being born!

I must admit I was thinking of their fans rather than the circumstances that appear to have led to this.

MacKinnon will be our top scorer end of the season just you see. Scott has told him to have a dig if he gets a chance and he hit the post this week and put one just wide in the first half. He just sits in the pocket and has some kind of boot on him. He'll finish on 10 plus - that's my prediction. He reminds me a bit of Polworth in the way he plays but I think he has more about him.

Another excellent and entertaining performance from the lads today. They are playing well as a team and playing a style of football which not only is more entertaining to watch, it seems to be much better suited to the strengths of the players. RiG sums it up brilliantly with his post. I hope Davidson's injury is not as bad as it looked. He was playing very well prior to that. It says a lot about the change in approach that he got injured when trying to block a clearance by the opposition keeper.

Not until a way is found for the club to continue beyond administration. And if more teams go into administration - I was told in the summer that a number of teams were on the brink - then it might not do us any good. It would give potential buyers more choice.

The threads on this forum show how we all felt when we were clinging on to the hope we would not go into administration so I can take no pleasure in hearing this. Hopefully, if this is true, they can also try to get their club facing the right way again too. I think we have seen over the last couple of weeks at ICT that the players have responded to the situation and to the new coaching regime in a positive manner, and I have felt enthused that we would actually not only go on to avoid the automatic drop but could also pull ourselves clear of the playoffs in spite of the 15 point penalty.

The Sun is reporting (so it must be true) that Dumbarton are set to go into Administration tomorrow.

Islanders bid a fond farewell to MV Hebridean Isles and I wonder if Mantis was still in Lewis for it's departure with his drone a good ferry story from the BBC for a change and no word if it was over budget or late in delivery You would not see a launch like that now Islanders bid a fond farewell to MV Hebridean Isles - BBC News

It's an interesting question. The issue that we didn't let Hughes go to DU is one that that I can understand why people consider. However I think that if we did let him go and things still went pear shaped, people would be looking back and asking 'why did we not do more to keep him!'. In my view Hughes was the person who was in the wrong in that situation. Foran as manager was a mistake and KC has admitted as much. I said to him myself that I felt it was too soon for him and it would have been better to have him as assistant to a more experienced manager. As a club we've made poor decisions but usually balance them out by making good ones too. It seems that all we've done since signing Robertson as manager (not a bad decision but keeping him as DOF was) has been one bad decision after another taking an administration event to force change. To answer the question, in recent history I would say the decision to make Graeme Rae chairman. Without that we don't end up with clueless Yvonne Crook and then of course he brings in the man himself Scot Gardiner and the massive list of terrible decisions and unchecked consistent failure for over half a decade.

The way I look at it is to add the deducted points back. I know it is pointless, but it does give you an idea of how we measure up against the others. That we could be 3 points off the top after a poor start and plenty of the season to play tells you how well we are doing in relative terms. If we keep this up we will catch those above in due course and then it's all to play for.

I think the process is being worked through in a very professional and systematic manner and importantly the staff feel supported and trusted to get on with tasks supporting the administration team. Having talked to one if the admin team at length when he sat with me for a game. I trust the team even if am wary of the process and potential outcomes.

Narrow win for the Ladies

I wasn't convinced by any of our penalty shouts. The fans, including me, made more of Luis' appeal than any of the players did. I thought Nolan could just as easily have been booked for his theatrical dive. Good deserved win and another clean sheet. Musa took the weight off the defence with a few catches as Alloa tried to salvage something.

Well, you know what they say. Play a C&W record backwards, and your wife comes back to you, your dog comes back to life, you get your job and your car back.... and your team starts climbing the table again

I think that despite everything, the good times may just be here again.

That was a better performance from the team than any I saw last season in the championship. Edge of the seat stuff and a thoroughly entertaining watch. (And the referee wasn't so bad - quite fair I thought, and he took a dim view of our blatant dives and time-wasting tactics towards the end, which, lets face it, would have had our fans howling if the roles were reversed!) Not a bad player in blue and red on the park today, but by a whisker I'd say Longstaff on the wing and Dibaga in goal tied for my man of the match. We're gonna make the playoffs - you saw it here first!!!

Let’s confine DF to the dustbin of history and concentrate on driving the team on to survival this season.

It speaks volumes of how bad a manager Ferguson is / was that we seem to have a better chance of staying up after he's gone despite a fifteen point deduction.

That’s been one of the revelations from this drop to League One - the quality of officiating is a lot lower.

I think it’s very significant that this team has defeated the league leaders on two consecutive Saturdays. That’s a very decent indication of the quality of the side and, watching this afternoon’s game, I also couldn’t help but get the feeling that technically, a lot of these players are above League One standard. That to me is all very positive in this campaign to escape the bottom/ bottom two in the 22 games that remain.

I would have let Yogi go to Dee Utd, get decent compensation, that would afford a decent replacement instead of the big gamble with Richie F.

The right decision and outcome for the City. I fully support the determination of the DPEA. As mentioned elsewhere, ICTFC should concentrate on football matters and stay clear of risk-leaden, half baked business ventures. The clubs reputation has suffered badly in the last few years as a consequence of such decisions. Hopefully we can turn the corner after Administation and build on the early shoots already done by AS and team of engagement with local businesses.
