    That will please the section of our support who like a microwaved curry before the football.

    Daniel Mackay

    RiG replied to a topic in Caley Thistle

    Don't really get the clamour for starting Mackay. He's not shown much in his recent (substitute) appearances to suggest he should be in the first XI. He's still young and most of his game time has been from the bench so it's unfair to expect him to be scoring dozens of goals but at the same time he's not shown all that much.

    The (vast) majority of income for English Premiership clubs comes from Sky, BT etc. Revenue from fans makes up a surprisingly small percentage of the total. However in Scotland I think it's still something like 60% of clubs income (on average) comes from season tickets, match day tickets. I'd need to go looking for the numbers to back that up as I can't recall them exactly but those were figures I seem to mind from somewhere.

    Provided the teams involved are relatively close geographically and any public transport before / after the game can support offer routes back home for fans then fine. Otherwise it's a big fat no. Asking the likes of ourselves and Ross County to play at the other end of the country on a Friday night is ludicrous. However ICT v Ross County would be a cracker although I take the point above that not all supporters live local to their teams.

    Dodds voted to reject the CVA that was offered to creditors when Dundee had financial troubles a few years back and as such is typically considered to be a bad guy who was happy to see the club liquidated. As a result he isn't held in the highest regard by their support.

    Ayr (A) scheduled for 08/12 has been moved to Friday 07/12 and a 1945 KO.

    Brave move to bring Dodds in as well.

    If we can pull off the Bolt signing that would give a welcome boost to our coffers what with all the extra shirts we would sell with his name on the back. A great move for the club if they can pull it off. Here's hoping!

    Yes I was at the game thanks for asking. Worldie saves or not they were still missed chances no? The defensive mistake, 10 minutes into the match, cost us a goal. It didn't cost us the game.
  11. RiG
    So one defensive mistake versus multiple spurned chances at the opposite end? Thanks for confirming that it was our attack that cost us on Saturday.

    You would like to think so and I had hoped to see a small increase in our crowds but sadly the continue to fall and we are now back to where our attendances were around 00/01. Hopefully a few more wins and a sustained challenge for the top spot(s) can attract some more bums on seats at TCS.

    We created other half decent chances where our poor finishing let us down. We've wasted a lot of good chances to turn draws into wins and Saturday was another example of this. As mentioned in the thread sadly we don't have an out and out goalscorer so we will likely see a lot of chances go to waste but it is still frustrating nonetheless.
  14. RiG
    Erm, what? It's been a feature of our play this season that we have not capitalised on the chances we have created. We've been incredibly wasteful in front of goal this season.

    I liked that we were watering the areas of the pitch that the ball seldom went.

    Really strange performance as at times we kept the ball really well and played ourselves out of problems with real composure. We also created some good chances especially in the second half when Scully decided to become the best keeper in the world. That said we were also shockingly slack at other times and showed some real sloppiness passing the ball out of play under no pressure, falling over ourselves at the back and, as usual, some really wasteful finishing. Makes me wonder how we might have been doing had we actually put in a decent offer for Shankland in the summer. I was also disappointed by the lack of width on show again. We seem to have regressed to how we were playing a few weeks back when Doran and Walsh would constantly come inside and leave Tremarco and Rooney with no one ahead of them to link up with. It wasn't until Calder came on that we had a bit more width further forward to really stretch the Greenock back line.

    This is almost certainly taking things too far but what about an ICT app? The programme has gone digital so that could be included in the app for people to read, buy match tickets, 50/50 tickets, team line ups, video highlights etc could all be wrapped up in there.

    Just seen that. Cheers OCG! EDIT: Tickets sold.

    Due to a change of plans I have a couple of First class train tickets going spare for this coming Friday/Saturday which might appeal to any ICT supporters in Edinburgh looking to attend the match against Morton at the weekend. Tickets are for the following trains: Edinburgh (1741) - Inverness (2102) on Friday 5th October Inverness (1845) - Edinburgh (2222) on Saturday 6th October. Looking for face value (£20) in total for both. These are both Advance tickets so you are fixed to these trains i.e. if you miss them you can't use them on another service. Give me shout if you know anyone who might be interested.

    To be fair that did them no favours last weekend. Barely heard a peep from their fans during the game. Home supports are simply quieter in general compared to away fans.

    The first misplaced pass yesterday was met with a chorus of groans, whistles and boos. There wasn't a single effort to get behind the team at all yesterday from the home support. Granted there wasn't much to get excited about but away from home the supporters are lifting the players from kick off and it helps them a lot.
  22. RiG
    I think OCG was suggesting that if we try to improve the supply to the strikers then perhaps they might score more goals. We didn't really create any chances of note yesterday compared to recent weeks and the introduction of Calder seemed to give us a bit more of a threat in the wide areas in the second half.
  23. RiG
    Sorry, what exactly did people see from Austin today that showed he deserves a start next week? He offered very little after coming on and miscontrolled a number of passes and struggled to link with team mates. Whilst that's perfectly understandable after a few weeks out I'm not convinced I saw anything today that deserves a starting spot.
  24. RiG
    People have been saying it for ages - Polworth plays best in the middle behind the striker(s). He is wasted playing wide left or right. Looks like the penny has finally dropped with Robbo.
  25. RiG
    It's a start but it would be good to have a named rep. What do other clubs do? Have they got a named SLO?
