  1. They’ve made some shambolic decisions but this must top the lot ……Ok boys you dug in last Fri. with 8 men and came out on top so go out there and show them what you’re capable of .We are all behind you .It was always obvious no referee ever wanted us in the premiership when we were in it .Beats me what they looked at there’s not one pundit who I heard on TV or radio could believe his decision .Sorry about the rant but I’m so angry . C’MON. CALEY THISTLE YOU CAN DO IT …. Willie Collums day will come

  2. Disagree. It is the perfect follow-up to what I had said without having read the club's statement: "Every player, manager, coach and everyone else associated with a club tries their hardest and does their best. But some self-important clown with a whistle ruins everything, safe in the knowledge that his chums will back him up. That's when everyone must ask "What's the point?". To which a very appropriate response is: "The Management, the Players, the Staff and just as importantly, the Caley Jag support will now need to pull together over the next two crucial games ....".

  3. I have no problem with the last paragraph frankly. How many times have clubs - not just our club - had ridiculous decisions imposed on them or reasonable appeals rejected unless you have one of the larger support bases ! It may not be right, but there are too many examples to say it is not true. Willie Collum has been an incompetent and notorious whistler for years as have many of his colleagues but there is ZERO accountability within referee circles ... FFS even at amateur level you cant question referee decisions. I sat on the committee of the Inverness Amateur association for years and the instruction we got from Glasgow was that the referee report is sacrosanct. It is unquestionable, regardless of what others, multiple others, might say (even when that report is known to be fabricated) and that pervades right to today all the way up the chain to the top. It is one reason why, on the whole, we still have such bad referees. Good referees get jaded or lost in the mix with all the dross, and of course the headlines all go to wallopers like Collum who revel in it and have no repercussions for their self-serving narcissistic tendencies .. and because he is a headliner, then he must be our top guy in organisers eyes .. no he is not the top guy, he is an embarrassment to Scottish football and to the referees association. Same with the suits at whatever acronym association you want to quote. Like referees there may a few good ones that come into the association as club reps or as workers over the years but once again, they get jaded or lost in the mix and its the self preservation society and the wallopers that rise to the top. We have played around at changing the names or acronyms every few years but until there is root and branch change - which will NEVER happen - its just shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic. So come Friday, yes Danny is out, so lets get on with it. We have turned outrage into motivation before, we can do it again. Lets not get mad, lets get even! The best medicine for these incompetents is for Caley Thistle to do what they do best and upset the applecart when the odds are against us. Anecdotally, Stevie Paterson put the newspaper with the 18-1 odds on his whiteboard in his team talk on Feb 8th 2000 and used that to fire up the team ... a picture of Collum or the letter from the appeals committee might just do the trick on Friday (hopefully).

  4. I was just about to add my twopennyworth, to the red card fiasco, but Izzy, you have taken the words out of my mouth. Well said! Our boys seem to triumph in adversity, and so use this lads to give you the strength to battle out a win on Friday. We'll be right behind you - We believe.

  5. Absolutely nothing wrong with our Club statement. Another unjust SPL decision.... Collum should admit he was wrong but he hasn't got the guts.

  6. I don't see anything wrong in the statement. Dreadful refereeing is backed up by the SFA. Have we learned nothing from the Keatings saga? What recourse do we have other than releasing a damming statement? Which actually worked in his case. You can be sure if it was Celtic or Rangers they would be giving it a closer look.

  7. The sending off was wrong. The appeal decision was wrong. The statement is spot on. It is designed to motivate everyone, on the park and in the stadium, to ensure justice is done by doing everything possible to secure promotion. We now need to put this behind us and focus on the final. By my reckoning, given the injuries and suspensions, we will only have 15 players available, so there are few decisions to be made about our starting line up unless we have any miraculous recoveries. The interesting bit will be who the front 4 are. I’d go with: Ridgers Carson Broadfoot Deas Harper Welsh McAlear Samuels Doran Chalmers Mckay with MacKay, Allardice, Hyde and Hardy on the bench.

  8. Emotions are running high, but why should we let them walk all over us without replying. What else could we say? Rightyo chaps, Danny is out, let's get on with it.

  9. Devine Intervention by Willie Collum: We will have to do it without Danny Devine as the equally incompetent SFA have upheld his decision to issue a red card. Absolutely total incompetency shown here by the self preservation society. It really is a joke. Also the utterly useless excuse for a referee Nick Walsh is in charge the fixture at Perth. God help us.

  11. Even a less than fully match fit Roddy Macgregor would be a great option to have on the bench.

  12. I heard a rumour MacGregor could be back for the St Johnstone games. Supposedly broke his cheekbone but could play with a mask protecting it. It would be nice if it was true.

  13. The statement would have been better ended with something along those lines rather than a few lines of drivel that could easily have included a few Great Britain flag emojis as part of it.

    • Dundee United 1-1 Inverness CT - Report
      Hopes amongst the Caley Jags support were at rock bottom ahead of this one with the threat of relegation looming large. With all hands to the pumps, Shaw, Boyes and Ujdur were brought back into the squad whilst not really 100% fit. Shaw started as did Pepple and Boyes with Billy Mckay, Lawal and Danny Devine dropping to the bench. Cammy Harper was given the Captain's armband today. It's a daunting task going to the lions den to face title favourites but underdog is our preferred tag. Anyway, 252 of them turned up at Tannadice in eternal hope and Duffy heightened the intensity only for Louis Moult to level things up. That's how it ended, a result we would have bitten your hand off before kick off.

    • Inverness CT 1-2 Ayr United - Report
      Having sat through one of the worst games for many a year there is little to hope for now apart from Arbroath to keep losing because we certainly appear to find it difficult to win. We have no game changers in our squad and our manager is playing the wrong type of anti-football to help our cause. Big Dunc thought we were the better team. Pleeeeeaaase, give me a break! We were second to everything and Ayr were always one step ahead of us after the first three minutes. SHOCKER springs to mind.

    • Inverness CT 0-0 Airdrieonians - Report
      These two sides looked as though they could play for the whole of March without scoring. In terms of opportunities, the hosts probably shaded it, but when we did miss the first defender, crosses invariably went behind the incoming strikers. On the one occasion we got on the end of the ball Billy Mckay's flicked header was cleared away from goal by Kanayo Megwa.
      Not the worst 0-0 draw ever, but scoring opportunities were at a premium. Neither keeper was overly troubled and this game had scoreless written all over it given the evidence of the first twenty minutes.

    • Inverness CT -V- Airdrieonians - Preview
      Promoted Airdrie are sitting in fifth place in the table, just below the play-off places with former Caley Jag Nikolay Todorov getting amongst the goals and he will provide a big test for our central defence. We have found Airdrie a difficult proposition at times this season but we did win the last home encounter against them.

    • Morton 0-2 Inverness CT - Report
      What a start for Inverness and Billy Mckay, who answered his abusers from last week by opening the scoring in the second minute, firing into the top corner after an assist from Cammy Harper. Robbie Muirhead looked to respond but Mark Ridgers was equal to his effort in the fifth minute. Ten minutes before the interval Sean McAllister curled in a low free kick from the edge of the box to double our advantage and open his scoring account at Inverness. Plenty of bookings but no further scoring saw Inverness pick up a vital three points in the relegation battle although we still remain in ninth spot but only two points from Dunfermline in fifth.
