  1. No the first time Ridgers has been caught off his line! Seen some great saves though, so I suppose it balances out.
  2. Can he commandeer a higher wage though? He hasn't really proved himself as a manager. Would anyone else be willing to take a punt on him with his current dismal managerial record? Unless he has other talents !!!
  3. Ok so the doomsayers have got their way and our beloved ICT has gone to the wall. Where are you gonna go for your fortnightly football fix? Is Clachnacuddin going to see an unprecedented surge in attendances? Will Ross County benefit from our demise? Aberdeen maybe? St. Johnstone? Or perhaps one of the Gruesome Twosome? Cast your votes here!
  4. Ah yes, wrong team. Of course I meant Forest Green! I suppose I should edit it, but I agree there's a sort of irony there!
  5. Exactly! Attendance at football matches is a balance between loyalty to your team and the entertainment gained from the match. Having witnessed so many tedious, unentertaining draws and defeats at home this season (fortunately giving yesterday a miss!), it's hard to build myself up to face another home game, as the lack of entertainment has now overtaken the 'loyalty' factor for me. I'd love to "get behind the team" if it wasn't such a tedious chore. Sadly, as things stand, there's nothing worth seeing at Caledonian Stadium, and I can think of much better ways to spend my time and money! Hopefully I'll have recovered from my current negativity by the next home game though!
  6. Echoes of Fleetwood . . . (Edit - Oops, I meant Forest Green!)
  7. Actually feeling quite smug because, having been to all the home league games this season, I gave this one a miss. Just didn't fancy the long journey home on the back of yet another draw! But really hoping I'm made to regret this decision by missing a stunning 2nd half performance and convincing victory!
  8. Another of my expectations is that we'll go into administration.
  9. Having witnessed yet another home draw, one of my expectations is that attendances will continue to drop gradually until we get a home win. However, so long as we keep climbing the table, a point at a time, there is a possibility we'll escape the play-offs. I can't help feeling this squad of players is yet to click - hopefully that'll happen before the end of this season. I think we'll peak on the last game of the season at 7th place! (and ffs get Cammie Harper signed up for another 2 years!)
  10. And it does - the club is called Ross County!
  11. Just wear and tear - it affects all clubs, just that we seem to make an issue of it!
  12. Fully agree - I'd like to see a lot more of our own home-grown players given a chance in the first team.
  13. Nothing to do with the fact that we're all just a little bit biased?
  14. Thought the purpose of town-twinning was to provide jollies for Councillors, VIPs etc., all sponsored by the generous Council Tax payers!
  15. I'm beginning to think you may have a point!
  16. Nope, gave up today too. I'm actually thinking a spell in Div 1 may be a good reset for the team - get rid of all the baggage, loanees, mercenaries, hangers-on, etc. Put out a team made up of our own players - local lads with a passion for the team and for Inverness. And let them grow with the team. Promotion to Championship eventually, in their own time. Might be the only affordable option at the end of the day. Still hoping we can survive in the Championship though, although on current form I wouldn't fancy our chances against a fired-up Falkirk in the play-offs! And the Fergie thing - our saviour etc. It's just a myth! He's no better than Dodds.
  17. Even that seems a bit vague. Surely there are more convenient areas to park between the Stadium and the project?
  18. Well I vowed that if I didn't see a win for ICT on Saturday, that'll be the last game I go to until they get some home wins together. Probably be there a week Saturday!
  19. A great, entertaining game for neutrals. Unfortunately there weren't many neutrals there. Very frustrating for this particular non-neutral. Partick always looked dangerous when they got into the final quarter but we just didn't. Somehow, despite our defensive frailties we found ourselves leading for the best part of the game but never looked comfortable when ahead and ultimately were fortunate to hang on for a draw. Wouldn't really commit to naming a star performer in blue but I'm liking what I see in Harper.
  20. Joke thread . . . . surely?
  21. Agree with previous comments. A difficult watch, especially the 2nd half. And when QP scored we just fell apart. I console myself by believing it'll take a game or 2 for the new recruits to gel. Then we'll be unbeatable!
  22. We were their bogey team, back in the day!
  23. Just what I was thinking - the "tippy-tappy" football was a bit of a novelty to us and often it was painful to watch. But under John Hughes we pretty much perfected it with a fairly mediocre bunch of players and what a joy we were to watch! Be patient folks, perhaps history is repeating itself!
  24. I particularly like Jim Goodwin's resigned look!
