  1. Sat through every home game so far this season, and my god it’s been a miserable experience. Under Dodds we were awful, but I have to say since Ferguson took over it has been worse. No idea what the on field plan is (if one exists), but there is no fight, no pace, no urgency and no clue. It’s not as if the opposition is anything special, but they don’t need to be. We look nailed on for the relegation play off place, and there is precious little to give confidence that we could survive that.
  2. Chairman said that ultimate aim is to make the club self sustaining. Stressed that club now owns all the ground surrounding the stadium and intend to use some of the money as “seed capital” to take planned projects forward , which would generate income on an ongoing basis.
  3. Further to the above: Each season in the Championship incurs a loss anywhere between £650,000 and £900,000. Season ticket money covers the first two months of the season only. Someone asked if rumour that we only had 3 months money in reserve were true. Chairman laughed and said he wished it was true! if council refuse permission at meeting on 14th, club are very confident that Scottish government will overturn that decision. Trouble is that will take 3-6 months, and we will have serious cash flow issues.
  4. Now confirmed, left the club by mutual consent. No fee for us then.
  5. Just about the worst game I have ever had the misfortune to attend. Embarrassing lack of quality, no excitement whatsoever, freezing cold, no wonder attendances are falling away. We really are a grim watch these days.
  6. Staying with Puma for another four years! New home kit looks good I think.
  7. Sadly not unexpected, but still a shock. A friend for many years,didn’t see him that often but always great to be in his company. Cheerful to the last, will be missed by all who knew him.
  8. In the weakest Championship for years!
  9. Away to Livingstone the “reward” for winning this. Weekend of 12th February.
  10. Apparently been cited for breaches of betting regs : Alleged Party in Breach: Shane Sutherland, Player, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC Dates: On various occasions between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2019 Disciplinary Rules allegedly breached: Disciplinary Rule 22 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2011/12 Disciplinary Rule 22 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2012/13 Disciplinary Rule 33 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2013/14 Disciplinary Rule 31 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2014/15 Disciplinary Rule 31 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2015/16 Disciplinary Rule 31 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2016/17 Disciplinary Rule 31 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2017/18 Disciplinary Rule 31 of the Disciplinary Rules for Season 2018/19 Hearing date: Friday 11 February 2022 That is all we need!
  11. Same here. Not only are we not one of the lucky 300, now they’re not letting us see the video
  12. The day the governing body argues against fans being allowed back into grounds we’ll know the game truly is bust!
  13. Satan is correct - tier one specifically allows for the return of fans to outdoor stadiums, subject to distancing of course. Interesting conversations to be had over the next week or so.
  14. Ewan Murray Tweet The SPFL will pay £300k a year to satisfy Sky, has a BT claim, a BBC claim, a foreign rights claim and still no title sponsor in a pandemic. They are now subject to imminent damages claims from two clubs. You'd have to be very confident... BT claim believed to be in the region of £3 million! How in the hell have we arrived at this?! At least with null and void (which we were told was “unthinkable “) there would have been no forced relegations, therefore no damages claims from wronged member clubs. Hard to think of a worse outcome than the one we’ve been landed with.
  15. Very hard hitting statement from our Chairman Ross Morrison tonight, basically confirming and endorsing everything Scot Gardiner said and tearing into the SPFL processes and procedures. Have a feeling tomorrow could be interesting!
  16. Breaking news that one of our players is self -isolating after showing symptoms of the virus
  17. Makes interesting reading. First time I have seen the actual number of season tickets (1453) made public, not a particularly impressive figure but hardly surprising. Statement is well written and contains a number of commitments, some of which we have heard before but hopefully will be followed through this time.
  18. Announcement tomorrow morning apparently - hear it's John Robertson!
  19. We will not lose out on TV money as this game is part of the contractual package which all clubs signed up to with Sky and ESPN. Whether the kick off could have been delayed would have depended on ESPN's schedule for the rest of the day as much as anything else. Fact is that another call off due to a waterlogged pitch, especially as late as this one, is embarrassing for the club. One night of rain, however heavy, should not cause problems like this, and we obviously do have a drainage problem which needs to be sorted.
  20. Thought Rooney had a great game tonight - held the ball up, laid it off well and ran himself into the ground. Very unlucky not to score, and would have been my choice for MOTM easily. We actually played some good stuff at times, and on another night could well have won. Can't say I saw much improvement in Aberdeen - they still look a poor side with a defence that is there for the taking.
  21. Injury well healed and I thought Jamie had a great game today. More than you could say for any of our lot.
  22. Yes, "allegedly" a late injury. It wouldn't be the first time he's been dropped for no good reason. I wouldn't be surprised if he vented his spleen on TB when he found out he wasn't in the starting line up. No conspiracy theory this time - I spoke to Russel this morning (in Harry Gows!)and he said he had picked up an injury and wouldn't be playing. Hopefully only a short term thing. We definately missed him today, though Duff did ok in midfield and scored a cracking goal. Frustrating game as we certainly had chances - thought Rooney was very poor today.
