Alan Hercher- A pure gentleman anyone could wish to meet - a real people person. RIP big man.4 points
-
Great bit of nostalgia and captures the early days very well .. MacArthur, Teasdale, Christie, Hercher ... we didnt realise we had it so good at the time (or maybe we did) ... As a "young" club we haven't experienced the loss of any club legends like other teams' supporters have until now, and because many of us recall those games from the perspective of having been there its even harder to get your head around it. Still cant take it in really. Really hope the club do something - in consultation with the family - to recognise and remember his role as part of the club as player, captain, and as a supporter too.3 points

This was one of my earliest ICT memories and it involved Hercher. After going 2 - 0 up on Livi in the (Scottish?) Cup we were eventually pegged back to 3 - 2 but then, pretty much right from kick off, Hercher was played in and he stabbed home the winner3 points

Such sad news. Gone way too soon. I will always remember his opening day Hat rick in ICTs first ever SFL game. RIP Herch3 points

Very sad news indeed, especially in such a young man. I was a Thistle fan who wished we could have had him playing for us. He was such a good midfielder, box to box, strong in the tackle and a goal threat. Being the first Caley Thistle captain, he will always be remembered and be part of the clubs history.3 points
-
So very sad and sorry to hear that. As a Thistle fan I grudgingly admired him and after the merger I was delighted that he was playing for my team rather than against it. A credit to himself and to to sometime unfairly maligned community from which he came and sincere condolences to those close to him for their untimely bereavement. A part of our club history and will always be remembered as such.3 points

You mean those rampant Nationalists who simply wish to govern their own affairs like any normal nation, who wish to be fully integrated with their European neighbours rather than the devastating economic and cultural isolationism that is soon to be imposed on us despite voting overwhelmingly against it and those rampant Nationalists who welcome immigration and fully appreciate the economic good that immigrants and refugees bring to the country ? As dougiedanger says, what a wonderful country for you to have moved to. Just a pity about all those whinging Jocks you have to put up with. They really need to learn their place.3 points

I know that he had a testimonial many years ago but can the club please look into organising a benefit match for his family ? I am sure that the ground would be well filled whatever the opposition.2 points

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC can confirm there will be a minute’s silence before tomorrow’s match against @AyrUnitedFC to honour the passing of club legend, Alan Hercher.1 point

Awful news ? I second the call for a match for his family. Would love to see a Section of a stand named after Hercher too. RIP Herch1 point

Heard about the fact that Alan was ill and terminal a couple of weeks back but as it was not public I thought better not to mention things on CTO. Having had the chance to work alongside Alan (as well as watching him play) I can say that this was a pleasure. Thoughts are with his family and friends.1 point

Very often not a first pick between the sticks during his years with us but had always been dependable when called upon and has contributed on the coaching front in more recent seasons. A well deserved reward. Like others, Aberdeen would seem to me to be the obvious choice as opponents. As DD alluded to, they would appear to be at a loose end on Thursday evenings for the next few months.1 point

Probably not just the obvious choice but the only choice. He came to us from Hereford where he made only 1 appearance and before that it was a grand total of 6 for Shrewsbury. He'll not exactly be a legend in the West Midlands. He's from Aberdeen and started his career with the Dons. In any case, the Dons now have plenty of free weekdays to fit a match in.1 point

I see that Liam Dalgarno, the chap behind the local Subway franchises has joined the Board. https://ictfc.com/news/club-news/2221-liam-dalgarno-joins-the-ict-board I can't comment on the appointment other than to say that a Board of only 4 Directors was certainly too small. Hopefully this is a positive move for the Club.1 point

In that case, can we bring the whets on as soon as possible so that we can play our full part in Europe and the wider world while the rump UK remains in splendid isololation led by progressive and forward looking characters like Rees Mogg and John Redwood. Perhaps you should head south just in case you get trapped on the wrong side of the border.1 point

Romantic drivel - If we have a border issue between the Republic and Northern Ireland that would be nothing compared to the issues thrown up by a Brexit border I mentioned , . Only time will tell what the issues will be between England and Scotland's border - All imports will have to be paid for, Scotland will have a balance of payments problem from day one. Stand at the side of the road, Count how many cars are built in Scotland. Go in Argus, Tesco, Asda, or any major store, find goods made in Scotland. Remember separate from England , Scotland will have to pay its own bills. No British treasury to bail out Scotland, - Berlin won't want another Greece ? No way will England let Scotland have the pound, they are not daft enough to underwrite Scotland's import bill.0 points

Montrose 0-0 Inverness CT - Play Off 1st Leg
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
FULL TIME: 0-0
All to play for on Saturday, but don't hold your breath...
However, if we continue like this, it will be our final game this season.
Best performer for us was Samson Lawal, the only bright spark on the field.
Alloa 2-2 Hamilton was the other semi-final score tonight. On this evidence, I doubt either side will be quaking in their boots.

Inverness CT 3-1 Morton - Report
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
It was a lovely evening for a game of football, what could possibly go wrong? Well, what did go wrong was Queen's Park beat an understrength Airdrie 2-0 at Hampden, therefore despite beating Morton 3-1, Inverness head for the play-offs. Morgan Boyes opened the scoring with a thumping volley after half an hour. Kirk Broadfoot benefited from slack defending to level before the break then proceeded to earn the wrath of the home support with an embarrassing celebration in front of the North Stand. Cammy Harper relieved Billy Mckay of penalty kick duties and duly slotted home from the spot ten minutes after the break. The scoring was completed just after the hour when Sean McAllister drilled home into the bottom corner. Robbie Muirhead had been sent off for simulation then taking a wee fit to himself and was promptly sent off after 58 minutes just after Harper had knocked in his penalty kick, probably aggrieved that he never earned a spot kick for his dramatic dive.

Inverness CT -V- Morton - Preview
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
Well, where do you start. It was clear from the begining of the season that something was wrong. Poor signings, dismal performances in the League Cup followed by an abysmal start to the League campaign saw Billy Dodds removed from his position after winning one point in the first six Championship fixtures and replaced by a man with no track record as a manager. A sort of publicity stunt if you like. After the initial new manager bounce wore off, we found ourselves little better off with Big Dunc than we were with wee Billy. We did claw ourselves up to the coat tails of others but the most damning part of our season has been our inability to score goals, especially at home. Only already relegated Arbroath are worse than us. Our team is now full of mercenaries, loan players with no affiliation to our Highland pedigree and many fans have tagged us as being the worst squad ever in our short history. Where are the Golabeck's, Tokeley's, Wilson's..... Much of this can be attributed to our lack of financial nous in the boardroom, failed ventures and now the begging bowls are being put in place to save our club. Having drawn at Dunfermline last week thanks to Aribim Pepple's first goal for the club combined with Billy Mckay's penalty miss, it's now out of our own hands. LAST SIX: D L W W L D

Dunfermline 1-1 Inverness CT - Report
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
Out of our hands now: It ended in disappointment for the 319 visiting fans with news that Queens Park had hammered Arbroath 0-5. To rub salt into the wounds, Sheridan and Welsh were amongst the scorers. It's out of our hands now, but it's a must win next Friday and hope Queens Park falter. Inverness play Morton and Queens play Airdrie. A draw might be enough, but it's a long shot.
I'm not convinced that Billy Mckay was the right man to be taking that penalty, his second failure from the spot in successive games against the Pars.-

Dunfermline Ath -V- Inverness CT - Preview
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
Aaron Doran looks likely to have pulled on the Caley Jags strip for the last time after limping off against Raith Rovers last Friday. Sean McAllister returning was a bonus though but the mystery deepens as to why Roddy MacGregor, Austin Samuels and Nikola Ujdur are not featuring either on the injury list or the team list. Baffling to be honest as Roddy has the midfield attributes required, Austin has the speed and potential and Nikola in my opinion, if fit, would be my first choice on the team sheet. Are these guys on the way out? Add to that seven or eight loan players, then next season will see a massive restructure and rebuild at the Caledonian Stadium. I imagine the board members are squirming in their seats like Angela van den Bogerd at a Post Office inquiry.-
