4 pointsUsual post match stuff from kellacher. We need to get better, move the ball faster, more clinical, take care of the ball, not good enough last 3 weeks, etc, etc. The players we got in, kellacher has seen em, kellacher plays em. His job to make them a team, may take some time that we don’t have. Reminds me of the saloon scene in the Ballad of buster scrugs……. Ps… didn’t know how to stop video at 1.15.4 points

2 pointsNot our finest 90 minutes. We made a fast start but without troubling East Fife, then the game settled down with not much happening. A slack pass by Sole led to the East Fife goal, although from my view I’m convinced there was a clear offside in the build up. We had plenty possession but struggled to break East Fife down and needed a good finish by MacKinnon to get us a draw in stoppage time. Then the plus point: 5 out of 5 in the penalties with good efforts by Shinnie, Wotherspoon, Kargbo, Bates and Longstaff, along with a great save by Munro. We need to improve before the league campaign starts, and too often we played it slowly which played into East Fife’s hands. We did look better after Longstaff, Wotherspoon and MacKinnon came on. No cause for alarm but work to do.2 points

2 pointsAn absolutely honking performance mostly played at pre-season pace. The one bit of quality got us level, neat finish into the bottom corner by MacKinnon after good work down the left flank. Otherwise dreadful. I don't know how I bother sometimes. It's going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong season.2 points

Desperate Stuff A dreadful game where we shared a goal apiece with almost relegated East Fife. We prevailed in the penalty shoot-out to earn the bonus point but the performance was not what was expected. I know I know it is usually a competition we use to fine tune our squad but we are a far cry from the finished article going by that performance. An absolutely honking performance mostly played at pre-season pace. The one bit of quality got us level in time added on, from a neat finish into the bottom corner by MacKinnon after good work down the left flank. Otherwise dreadful. Too many players looked as if they were still on a pre-season jolly with no apparent urgency on the job in hand. I've seen better stuff at the Hub over the last few weeks from under 12's. I don't know why I bother sometimes. Gaffney opened the scoring after the half hour in a dour uneventful game. It started with Scotlandesque defending and a poor choice of ball out of the box from Savage. Sole failed to control the ball. It was transferred forward with the Fife forward player looking yards offside and Myles Gaffney knocked in with nobody near him. Our attacking efforts were as insipid as the national team as well, however MacKinnon's goal in time added on was a good low curling effort from around 16 yards after two or three players were involved down the left side. Ross Munro made one good save in the penalty shoot-out as he saved the Fifers second spot kick. We put all five of ours away comfortably. Shinnie, Wotherspoon, Kargbo, Bates and Longstaff winning us the bonus point. Reis Peggie, Pat Slattery, and David Wilson scored from the spot for East Fife with Tyrell Skeen-Hamilton having his penalty saved by Ross Munro. In the other Group F fixture Linlithgow Rose pulled off a good win at Cappielow, defeating Morton 1-0 with a goal from Callum Rae early in the second half. We play the Rose next week at Prestonfield. We were not the only Championship side to struggle. As well as Morton going down, Dunfermline were pumped 3-0 at East Kilbride. Partick Thistle showed how it should be done by hammering Brechin City 6-0. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: 11/07/2026 Venue: Caledonian Stadium Attendance: **** Referee: Sean Murdoch Inverness CT: 1 Manager: Scott Kellacher Lineup: Munro; Macleod, Devine, Savage, Boutin (Bates 71), Sole (Kargbo 62), Allan (Wotherspoon 62), Stewart, Shinnie, Duncan (MacKinnon 85) Bavidge (Longstaff 62) Subs (not used): Ross; Clark, Keogh, Chalmers, Scorers: MacKinnon (90+1) Booked: Boutin (59), Bates(90+4) Sent Off: none East Fife: 1 Manager: Dick Campbell Lineup: Gaston; Wilson, Bah, Easton, Peggie, Slattery, Millar, Milne, Newton (Trialist B 81), Gaffney (Skeen-Hamilton 64), Ross (Austin 85) Subs (not used): Rollo; Linton, Healy, Fairley Scorers: Gaffney (34) Booked: Ross (24), Gaffney (59), Bah (74), Wilson (86) Sent Off: none1 point -

1 point1 pointDreadful performance at times with few players getting pass marks. Noah looked good at full back and generally the defence was sound. Allan and Shinnie okay in midfield. Bavidge got no service at all so surprised to see him subbed for Kargbo, who on first impression, looks worse than Zimba. Sole was very erratic but how Duncan stayed on as long as he did was baffling. Better with Wotherspoon and MacKinnon on. Baffling subs from Kellagher and tactically poor from him. Both the team and management needs to improve and quickly.1 point1 pointTerrible day to kick off our cup campaign. My son collected the new stripes for the grandchildren and the staff were busy getting the shop ready for today so bring your cards for merchandise. Let’s get a good start today and I will be starting the Player of the Year poll later for anyone who was at the game can vote on the forum.1 point1 pointFull time, Wick Academy 1 - 2 ICT. Didn't really see above likely to make the breakthrough this season, but the right back, he moved left later in the second half, was pretty good.1 point1 point1 point1 point1 pointThe new away strip looks like what the old lags would be wearing when they are transferred over to the new prison when it opens. bc1 point1 point1 pointPre season friendlies are ‘Exactly what it’s says on the Tin’. Unless there was a particular player or team I was wanting to see I tended to give them a miss as they are normally hard work on the eye. 0-4 to our close neighbours serves some purpose I imagine in that it’s a clear wake-up call. To use one of Kells post match comments - He’s learned a lot today and we need to be better attacking and defining. Good, that’s the objective! Expected improvement to follow. bc1 point1 pointend of the day I am not a fan of betting logos on shirts, and I know we have previously turned down offers to sponsor this website from betting companies with one single exception. We did take on an offer from one firm to sponsor our betting forum for a short time based on the "offer being too good to refuse" and maybe that's the situation the club find itself in as they continue to rebuild from the brink of extinction. I would rather this type of gamble than the gambles the previous regime took!1 point1 pointI think the SPFL have run away from their responsibilities again here. The disciplinary punishment handed down to the offending clubs is paltry and simply puts this problem into a cupboard under the stair (put it out of sight so to speak), until it happens again at any of the top two divisions in our country. It is all so predictable with clubs pleading “you’ll ruin and hurt us (and YOU) if you fine or deduct us points!”. And the SPFL not wanting to ‘rock the boat’ by addressing the problem and hoping the Police or Scottish Government don’t force their hand. The punishment imposed on Celtic is bordering on the ridiculous. It presents no deterrent in my mind to the mindless thugs that enjoy courtship by these major clubs (Celtic here). Ie they want their money, noise and fear factor and tacitly accept the risk they will invade the pitch now and again. Fingers crossed no one gets harmed or maimed. In my club’s case ICTFC, they have been allowed to get off with next to no consequential penalty impact or imposition whatsoever. - I’m not celebrating this as unlike what was said by Scott Young after our Ned’s pitch invasion that ‘lessons to be learned’, thats precisely what we failed to do from the relegation match against the Accies in 2024! I expect our CEO and board to smile (“we got away with that Hey”) and just carry on regardless! In my book is ‘No pain - no gain’. I will continue to argue the case that until our club show clear steps of acting more professionally both on and off the park we will be unable to progress as a serious football operation. bc1 pointThis leaderboard is set to London/GMT+01:00
