I hadn't realised Destiny Ojo was one of our trialists. Saw him play a couple of times play for Cliftonville and their reserves. He's only a young lad but he really wasn't very good.

Full fixture list here: https://ictfc.com/2025-26-fixtures-released/ Real opportunity to get off to a flyer looking at those fixtures.

Odd move. They've been poor for a couple of seasons and its not like there's big wages on offer. They didn't even qualify for Europe for next season so it's not as if there's a shop window for Musa.

Easy choice for me. POTY: Musa YPOTY: Keith Bray

There's probably a little bit of truth to both of your points. The timing and language of the BDO press release hints at frustrations with particular individuals. It sets out the realities for the majority of shareholders. Its an unpalatable choice - lose your 'investment' or lose your club

I wonder if that penalty save from Musa could be something of a sliding doors moment. By all accounts we were outstanding after the save and it seemed to galvanise the team. He comes across as a thoroughly decent guy as well as a good goalkeeper so delighted for him. Back to a positive points total seems like a milestone. A tough couple of games coming up but onwards and upwards we go.

I've seen a couple of posts saying we should go for X or Y as manager until the end of the season but that's not how administration works. Essentially the administrator will look to cut as many costs as possible to leave the minimum resource to operate as a viable business until such time as admin is exited (i.e a sale). The administrators will still want a semi competitive team so some of the player exits might seem surprising when they come out tomorrow. The only way we could sign players while in admin is if we were left with less than 11 players. You would get special dispensation to sign players on week to week or trialist terms.

Correct

Always a disappointment to lose but I really hope that's not our goal and shot allowance for October used up. May have had a chance in the shootout with Dibaga in goals. Newman couldn't have been further away from any of the Livi penalties. Reminded me of David De Gea in that shoot out a few years ago, laughably bad.

I struggle to comprehend how we're even spending that amount of money in the first place. How are we spending £1.4m more than we're bringing in, its incomprehensible for a business of our size. What is it going on?

We did get cuffed 4-0 at McDairmud Park in match 9 mind you.

2013-14 Premiership after 8 matches, slightly different to this season after 8 matches.

It's not Bray coming on that's the issue. It's great to see him getting more minutes. The problem is the subsequent change of formation which lost us the initiative and clearly took time to adjust to. We signed another defender on deadline day when we very specifically needed a forward who can hold the ball up once Billy is subbed.

Yawn. Same as multiple games last season- get into the lead, make defensive substitutions, lose said lead. He is incapable of learning from his mistakes.

This is great news for the long term future and viability of the club. Alan Savage has done his bit so now it's time for the fans to do theirs. Be it via turning up on a Saturday, buying merchandise or anything else. Some of the things that we're hearing from Savage and on the grapevine just seem incredible. Some of the deals that the outgoing CEO committed to are quite incredible, no competent person would sign up to them unless there was a personal return or benefit via personal companies or capacities....... Messrs Morrison, Cameron and Munro should have a few questions to answer too. Namely the transfer of land around the stadium and how it came to be under their control when it was used as the basis for going concern in previous accounts. They obviously put substantial sums into the club however that was partly to cover their own incompetence. Certainly appears like some of these transactions were made to ensure they were kept right regardless of what happened. It also explains why they've been so quick to get a deal together, the true cost is less than it seems.
