Thanks @FrontRow appreciate that. But if you think he was nervous you should have seen the state of me before we started!

The problem with researching stuff for Wyness was that so many of the internet sources no longer exist especially for his first spell with us. Even when he came back to us details around it are pretty sketchy although there are still some posts on here from 2008 which covered the contract saga which I was able to turn up having recalled the disagreement playing out in the local press at the time. Ian Broadfoot's book "Going Ballistic" was critical to the research of Wyness's earlier years at ICT. Without that we would have been pretty thing on 1999 - 2003 information. If anyone hasn't got a copy yet the club are still selling them for £5. I had to order a replacement copy as I've lost my original signed copy. As for releasing it as a two parter it's not something we think is a good idea on the whole. We did that with the Tremarco and Tansey interview and the second part saw a 30% drop in listeners which was a shame and we were wary of having something similar happen again.

I like McDaid but there's no question he isn't consistent enough. It's all moot as I understand we're not even close to being on his radar. A move to Partick Thistle beckons.

Yeah he fairly opened up as we went on. His recollection of ICT games was really excellent and I was a little sad that we had to end the chat and then had to cut out about 30 minutes to try and get it to a reasonable length!

That's your Wyness pod out now guys. Hope you like it.

We recorded it last night and hopefully I can get it ready for a release over the weekend. At this stage I'd say probably Sunday. Dennis was fantastic to speak to and happily answered anything we threw at him. Very honest and open about his career so hopefully you guys will enjoy it as much as we did!

Don't see too much wrong with that team save for getting Allardice in there instead of Vincent. Allardice has probably been (one of) our best player(s) this season so he has to start if he is fit. Mckay hasn't done that badly at RB though Duffy seems more robust there despite also being a CB by trade. There really is a massive Kai Kennedy shaped hole in the wide areas though. Doran (is he fit?) and Storey as wide men? We need reinforcements in that area for sure.

Cheers for (some of) these questions folks. We've got most of them in the doc in one form or another. 11 pages of questions. Could be a long one...

Nice one @Stirling Observer we've got those added. Cheers!

Not much else going on at the minute in terms of football so nice to have something to talk about even if it might not come to anything

Twitter rumours linking us with Billy Mckay again (snore) if County land Jordan White from Motherwell.

Yeah I don't think we'll be going over that Bavidge incident.

We are very fortunate to be joined by ICT's all time leading scorer Dennis Wyness next week for an exclusive interview! If you have a question for Dennis you want to ask leave it here and we will do our best to ask as many as we possibly can.

That's the match off.

At the minute there isn't a lot to update anyone on. The game may be on, it may be off. We don't know. Until Raith Rovers get some kind of steer from the SPFL I suspect we won't hear a thing from ICT.

There's a gallery feature on this site so there could be something in there? https://caleythistleonline.com/gallery/

Raith Rovers apparently have an outbreak of COVID in the squad and are asking for a postponement. https://www.raithrovers.net/46224/club-update-covid-19.htm

Only if we adhere to the weekly testing which we have said in the past we can't really afford. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/2503558/caley-thistle-boss-john-robertson-outlines-covid-19-testing-concerns/ Hopefully we have received this £500,000 (?) grant from the Scottish Government which I surmise will need to be spent on this PCR testing. What a season this is turning into!

Extremely concerning. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/scottish-fa-board-confirms-three-week-suspension-of-professional-football-beneath-spfl-championship/?rid=13929 Scottish Cup games suspended, all leagues below the Championship on hold and the Championship will only continue if weekly PCR testing is carried out which, IIRC, is very expensive for teams at this level.

Scottish Cup games suspended until further notice. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/scottish-fa-board-confirms-three-week-suspension-of-professional-football-beneath-spfl-championship/?rid=13929

If we get past Buckie an away tie against Ross County awaits. What a time to be unable to get to a game.

Cheers, son's crying now.

Nothing official yet but there seem to be some Twitter whisperings that this Saturday's game will be streamed.

Maybe if we relocated the club to Kinross Services we'd have a better chance of signing / retaining players.

Kai Kennedy has left the club apparently after his loan came to an end.
