It'll be the law - gambling and U18s etc. The test of ethics and sponsor influence wil be if there is an option not to have it on adult shirts. I personally like a bet and have no problem with it, but there are others who don't on principle or who have addiction issues (either themselves or famiy members).

So now we know the trialists were: Joe Walters, Daniel Mackay and Hamzad Kargbo 👍.

Only trialist 15 played the whole game, with him finishing at right back. A useful work out but some rustiness. Of the youngsters, Sam Thompson was controlling things in midfield, with Archie Kerr and Jake Rodgers looking promising. Bates was lively and could well be an asset for us. Not sure about the big no 20, but trialist 15 looked promising, while we all do know no 14!!

Anybody ask for a striker??? Morgan Bates on loan from Swansea Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce the signing of striker Morgan Bates on loan from Swansea City until the end of the season, subject to Scottish FA and international clearance.

Those players under 18 had the logo covered over last night.

I too like a flutter on the footy. Actually ended up in profit last season [thank you Stevenage] but I wouldn't advertise. So many people are affected by gambling and lots of other things including booze. It's a personal choice of course. I've not bought a team shirt for a good few seasons now, I find them far to expensive for what they are and stick to the casual / leisurewear range.

Maybe we were interested but our offer was just too meagre? It’s not an encouraging sign for me that it appears our ‘pot’ is ring-fenced in the hope it’s enough to encourage Alfie B (or some Celtic kid) to sign another years loan deal. It’s a risk in that it limits our ability to tie down other potential strikers as we wait on Alfie B & ABN to make their mind up. (Good chance others are interested and they are waiting to see what the biggest pot is tabled). I wish big Jordan well at Cove. He will definitely be an asset for them. Just my tuppence worth, bc

Phew! Dodged a bullet there. Jordan White signs for Cove Rangers on a 2 year deal.

Probably a disgruntled ex-county fan who follows the highest placed side in the Highlands. If he enjoys a moan so much, then he should have carried on following the lot up in Dungwall - he would have plenty to moan about now! 🤣

18' | 0-1 GOAL! Trialist opens the scoring (No 20) Clearance blocked and he scored with a near-post shot. 21' | 0-2 GOAL!

Luis Longstaff's free-kick finds the bottom corner from the edge of the box. FULL TIME: 1-3 Looks like everybody got some game time.

Some of our best recruitment last year happened in July with Alonge, Wetherspoon, Alfie B , Alfie S, Liam sole all cpming in. With this signing so early I am starting to feel quite confident that by the time the season starts we will have recruited another good squad for Kellacher and the team to develop into better players and a great team. Now get contract extensions done for Adam, Calum and Remi and I would be very happy.

Like the kit, love that the badge outline is gone, and happy that someone - whether by law or by common sense - has made sure that the logo of a betting company is not on youth or kid shirts. Good job ICT !

Fixtures are what they are - we have to play everyone home and away twice, but to start at home, finish at home and be at home for the new year fixtures is good news.

Best home shirt in years, great effort.
