Thoroughly enjoyed Chalmers hitting the first man (same guy) three times in a row in the space of 20 seconds in the 2nd half.  It was like a bizarre training exercise.

I was thinking the same. It certainly appeats that we're due something as in the article on the BBC website it mentions that he moved from Dyce to ICT.   I don't know the full ins and outs of the system but I believe every training club is due a solidarity payment spread across 3 years.

I've just realised Chalmers was playing.  World Hide and Seek champion in the making.

Should have coasted that.  Utterly unforgivable to only draw, seems like we've regressed since the end of last season.  Missing Warren's (and to a lesser extent Vigurs) experience on and off the pitch.

Good god. Another missed Penalty, this time Donaldson.

Poor result. Fringe players did themselves no favours against what was pretty much a Pars colt team.

What chants other than your crap your pish or is that to extreme for you. To many happy clappers in our support willing to sit and just say well done next time. And folk saying it's the fans fault for a professional to have a bad performance are deluded. That's the problem the fan base doesn't show enough emotion. So feel free to confront us. And see who gets battered.

Some level of whataboutery here. You know fine well what the chants were. Criticism of a poor performance is all fine & well and go with the territory of being a professional footballer. However chants of personal nature about a players sister and family are completely unacceptable.  If you can't see that then perhaps you need to step away until you grow up a little bit.

0-0. Sounded like no Plan B after we struggled to break them down.  Can't understand why Doran was kept on bench for so long? No need for both Chalmers and Trafford in the centre of the park today.

He deserves credit for turning things around over the last 6 months but Robbo has to carry the can for that one.  We were on an 18 game unbeaten run and the system was changed to something designed primarily not to hammered. We very much got what we deserved with that.

This defeat has further reaching consequences than just this 90 minutes.

1) the club has been deprived of much needed revenue from the next round particularly if we got a glamour tie that could have been shown on TV

2) how does this affect the players just a week from the season opener.

 

Home tie v Celtic we've missed out on. With TV that could be £50k of much needed ££ that we won't get.  Very frustrating, big performance required next week to get the season properly started

Had my concerns when I saw the team and they've been proved right.  Neither Trafford or Chalmers are doing anything defensively which means Hearts midfield are waltzing through.  White not pacy enough upfront so Hearts defence can stay high and squeeze us.  Change of shape needed now before this gets more embarrassing.

Decidedly dodgy start. Can't get a grip of the ball at all.

Surprised that Austin has been dropped to bench. Understand why we might put an additional midfielder in but Austin's mobility will be missed.  

I see we've just signed Sean Welsh.  File that one under odd.  I wonder of that means we have reservations over the fitness of Angus Beith.

Not sure where else to put this but I see that Highland Council is to award Colin Baillie the Freedom of the City of Inverness. 

Highland Council Announcement

A very well deserved accolade for someone who has put his heart and soul into improving the prospects of young people on Inverness, whether that be through teaching, Boys Brigade, Inverness Harriers or Rugby. 

I'm sure we all have plenty of stories but up until the age of around 16 I was terrified of the man.  Being hauled into his office for some form of misdemeanor was never fun even though by that stage he was mellowing.  Once you hit 5th year and became a 'young man' it was interesting just how much his attitude towards you changed and he eventually showed his softer side. A thoroughly decent man and one I'm delighted that has been bestowed this honour.

I think these kits are great.  The home one reminds me of Genoa and Calgiari, away one is excellent.  I may even buy one.

Anyone know if they do baby kits?

They generally do for the home kit.  It's a full kit with sizes starting from around 12months

Your trying to tell me that fckin home top looks decent are you residing in new Craig's by any chance??

I've made no comment on your opinion so I'm not trying to tell you anything.

Negative, negative,  something contrary.....

Fixed that for you.  You can just copy and paste it to the rest of your posts, it'll save you time.

Better images here.  Must say the away shirt is a belter and the home is far better than I initially thought. Definite grower.

Youth's had Macron (generic) kit.

The Errea deal is for 4 minimum years.

Ah, that makes sense.  Need to get that young out of youth kit however.

Could be a potential change of manufacturer?  The club has put out an image of Daniel McKay officially signing his contract and I couldn't help notice he was in a Macron polo shirt with the ICT badge on it.   

1-0 full time.  We've taken it to the last day, can't ask anymore than that.

Still 0-0 though we're getting on top.  Should be winning this as Livi have rested most of their usual starters.

Deal for the stands fallen through?Perhaps our old benefactor has pulled another of his tricks to 'save' the club.......

Pretty sure we got 400k for Niculae?!

€400k.  The club reported it as undisclosed but Dinamo Bucharest actually posted official documents publically onto their website after a dispute with us over releasing his registration.
