Replacement Striker?
The problem with clarity here is that all transfer plans depend on the other side - will the other club release a player, will wage demands be within our budget, will the player want to up sticks to come to the centre of our universe, etc. Cut a little slack to the manager and the chairman - make your judgements after the next month when we know if there has been an adverse effect on results. If you read my post I have not criticised either manager or chairman. On the contrary as I say it's their decisions to make. All I ask for is for us the paying public to be enlightened as to what the club plans are. We put our cash in is it too much to ask for a little something back. And just to make my standing clear I have nothing but praise and respect for our chairman and after initial reservations about the manager he is winning me round.

Replacement Striker?
For me the only thing that worries me about all this is the clarity of information given to the media and as such to the fans. If Yogi thinks we can get by with what we've got, that's his call and he will be judged on it, If Kenny and the board made decisions about finances that's their call and they will be judged on it. The big but is statements from Kenny that I took as meaning something was in place to cover for Billy going, then Yogi talking about loans etc. I expected this to mean someone being brought in. I'm not raging because we didn't sign players nor do I think we can compete for Europe without a proper striker but what I would have liked is clarity from board and manager.

League Cup semi-final v Hearts
OTJ in with the Caley fans and leaving when Meeking got sent off and tapping me on the back on his way down the stands with a dissapointed look on his face tapping me on the back and saying " Oh well". Little did he know what was coming.

Inverness CT -V- Ross County
We do seem to struggle against teams that shut us down quickly , County, Partick, Aberdeen and first half last week against Accies. Have to agree the pitch and wind suited the hit and hope of County but we did not get anyone close enough to Marley and then seemed to drop back and invite them onto us. It's early days without Billy but if we are going to play Marley up front we need an other out ball that he provided when playing wide. They certainly did their homework on our fullbacks as they hardly got in behind. Any way January undefeated and a cup game to look forward to.

Replacement Striker?
Not dissing Billy but it was expected and plans seem to be in place (Christie for me) to try to cover for him. Bringing in a make shift player at this time could disrupt the whole squad. Billy's goals have been important but not so much this season but his work rate is what we need to replace.

Transfer Window approaching.
There is a big reason Aberdeen fans want to get rid of Robertson any way they can. It's because he is a bomb scare and can't defend.

Billy Mckay
Why the very different attitude to Graeme Shinnie who served the club as well and for longer and who is at least staying until the end of the season ? Uh! One moves to Engerlund and nets the club in excess of £150,000 and........ The other goes to our rivals and it is announced the week we could overtake them in the league. No I can't think why people think differently about the two players?

Contract Situation
All costs were awarded to the club so Marius paid for the costs and legal fees. All the fee went to the club.

Disgusting ICT 'fan' behaviour at Hamilton
It is FACT that these things were said. Not an allegation but Fact. If you were in our part of the stand you heard it. Fact not allegation or opinion.

Disgusting ICT 'fan' behaviour at Hamilton
I accept that but the two families that walked out around us certainly cited this as the reason. As I said in my first post I didn't have kids with me so I am not too worried but parents have to think about their children.

Disgusting ICT 'fan' behaviour at Hamilton
Chants and songs are expected from all fans and can be very amusing at times. The total random shouting of the 'c' word in any circumstances is not acceptable and I think this is what the problem was and not the anti Imrie songs.

Contract Situation
With his imminent change of lifestyle the move to Aberdeen would make sense to him and his family. Closer to his own mum and dad and not a million miles from Inverness. Having said all that I cannot wish him well when joining our rivals and as has been said major lack of ambition and a slap in the face to ICT and the fans announcing this when we are in a battle with Aberdeen for league placings. Anyway I hope he likes '80's music and shoulder pads because he will be going back 30 years to be in the same era as their fans seem to live.

Disgusting ICT 'fan' behaviour at Hamilton
You were not the only ones to walk out. At least 2 families near us made the same decision and walked before half time saying they would not be coming back and were going to contact the club. As a grown up with no children at the match it was not a problem to me but I hope these ( there was more than one) big men are so proud of thereselves

PAY WHAT YOU WANT - ST JOHNSTONE 20TH JANUARY
The one really good thing that I find coming from this is the good work by the commercial and media departments with the coverage this is receiving. I am being contacted from all over the UK and beyond from people that are hearing about this and saying what a great club ICT must be to think of fans at this time of year. Whatever happens crowd wise the idea has been a brilliant one.

Inverness CT -V- Partick Th
Could try to dissect the game and performance but what's the point. The players will be feeling this and the reaction in the next 3 games will define our season. God it was cold.

profit or loss?
With regards to sponsors for the League Cup and the SPFL I have it on good authority potential sponsors have approached Doncaster & Co with offers but have been turned down as it does not match their perceived value of the sponsorship and do not want to de-value the sponsorship.. So for two or more years there is no money coming in.
