Hello, With the new season upon us a few ICT supporters have gotten together to produce The Wyness Shuffle, the first, as far as we are aware, podcast covering ICT. Hopefully you enjoy (most of) it and it sets you up nicely for the season ahead. The first episode will be available tomorrow so give it a listen when it's available and let us know what you think either here on online on the Twitter or Facebook page for the pod. In the future we'll hopefully get some interviews with various (ex) ICT players or managers but if you have any suggestions as to what you might like to "see" in another podcast let us know and if you'd like to get involved in any capacity send us a message Cheers!

It's David Carson. We've not had international clearance through yet.

Always find it a bit odd when folk say stuff like this. We have no idea whatsoever what his personal circumstances are. The only Scottish club that was in for the guy was Dundee United and a couple of clubs in England. Shankland may not have wanted to go to England at this stage of his career and was happy to remain here for another season or two.

We missed out on him last year. We never had a chance this time around.

If we continue to play against Highland League teams yes.

There's a squad page on this very site: https://caleythistleonline.com/team/squad.html/ It needs a bit of updating but that'll happen in due course

Given we now seem to be chasing a 4th striker it seems quite likely that a switch in formation might be forthcoming. I can't imagine Robbo will be able to keep four forwards happy playing a system that only makes use of one striker.

At least it won't be as bad as last season when the deal kicked in half way through the campaign and BBC shoehorned in 20 games before the end of 18/19 so almost every week had a Friday game. This season it will be one every two weeks (roughly).

Wish they would get a move on and announce if any of these fixtures are getting moved for TV. Suspect the opener v United is a fixture ripe for BBC to show on their new channel on a Friday night.

Dunfermline at home to end the season for the 3rd year in a row. An away midweek trip to Dumfries at the end of October is a tough one.

Well then.

A historic quadruple is the minimum we should be looking at this coming season.

Paul Paton is absolute shite.

Erm, okay...

https://ictfc.com/betfred-cup-group-stage-fixtures Fixtures confirmed.

Probably not but I suspect that the club will include something on social media thanking "Joe Bloggs Diggers" for doing some stuff down the stadium so it gets them some free publicity which some companies might be happy to do as a one off.

They probably haven't been deleted just the links are all broken since the site got redesigned. Not sure though.

A quick Google suggests the crowd was around 3,100 which was 700 below our average that season. That said, it is quite possible that the crowd would have been lower had it not been for the initiative. People commenting on how many folk Arbroath might bring are wasting their time. We need to look to get the home fans that have drifted away over the last couple of seasons back through the gates.

Clearly this got everyone excited... ICT face Dundee, Raith Rovers, Peterhead and Cove Rangers. Fixtures to be announced shortly.

Have the seen the state of the pitch? What a disgrace!

https://ictfc.com/season-ticket-early-bird-update The club have listened and acted. The early bird cut off date has been extended until 6th June. They've done their bit, now it's time to back them up and get those season tickets renewed.

He's a decent player but he's 31 and I'm not sure he's much of a career left to rebuild for.

McHattie isn't the best and unfortunately made two bad errors in the games against United which cost us goals but he has been pretty competent filling in and provides us with some cheap cover. Content for him to be used as a squad player but wouldn't want him starting too many games.
