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.

Even that seems a bit vague. Surely there are more convenient areas to park between the Stadium and the project?

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!

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.

Joke thread . . . . surely?

Fickle

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!

We were their bogey team, back in the day!

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!

I particularly like Jim Goodwin's resigned look!

Trying to think of an appropriate caption . . .

What's happened to all these bright young prospects we had in our youth set-up?

A hundred times better - everything's a hundred times better. Lets not exaggerate though!

ROBBO (again)

At least nowadays you can eventually see the goals that you couldn't really see during the game because you're sitting in the North Stand and all the goals were scored in the first half and you weren't really sure it was a goal until you see the players celebrating. Hurrah for modern technology!

It's taken them a while but it finally looks like they've made a decent appointment in Big Dunc and there is now an air of optimism about the club. Hopefully results will continue to improve and more spectators will be tempted back to the Longman on matchdays. As a long-time supporter of Caley and then ICT, I personally couldn't care less about the mechanics of the upper management structure, or what they get up to on matchdays. My interest goes no further than the team on the pitch and that's what I pay to see and financially support. Continue your one-man campaign against Gardiner and Robertson by all means, but by doing so you are, sadly in common with the majority of Invernessians, not supporting your local team.

Yes definitely, although I think that was more noticeable in the Partick game a couple of weeks ago.

A hard watch, especially after Mackay and Wotherspoon were subbed, when we seemed to lose our edge and it was backs to the wall. But we got off with it!

To be fair the seller has only got the dates wrong. The real reason they're ultra rare is because the handles were cr@p and broke off. That's what happened to mine anyway. Binned after about 2 months as I recall!

Had to patiently explain that one to my 20-something year old son!

Yes, noticed that on the BBC match report. Thought it was a thoroughly entertaining match and apart from the first 10 minutes or so, we pretty much controlled the game. Now if only we could score . . .

I see a few Rangers fans eyeing up Ferguson as their next manager, and possibly he's got a similar long-term ambition. Good for us though if he has that incentive to shine!

Well he's one of us now so despite my negative thoughts when I first heard the news, for now I'll be backing Big Dunc!

We're doomed!
