I'm sure I saw Tremarco mention on Twitter he was a couple of weeks away from a return but perhaps that is a return to training.

I think we need to accept that anything to do with the website and social media is not a priority for the club at the moment.

The defence and goal keeper should have been made to walk back up the A9 after that performance yesterday.

Calder has played as a LW the last couple of games so Robbo does appear to have cottoned on to that at least though it does mean that Chalmers steps in at left back where he has looked really poor so far.

See above post from ICTChris which sums things up really well.

Only two games in but still... ...

Mulraney is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

An utterly disgraceful performance. Quite possibly one of the worst I've seen in the last few years of watching Inverness. Hard to disagree with anything Chris has posted. Just an utter shambles all over the pitch.

Aye maybe. For me, the main thing is that it's another sorry episode in a summer of face palms and all round minters.

I obviously don't know for 100% certain no however... ...my take on it is simply Draper gets told about the improved County offer and says he would like to go if the club are happy to let him leave and the club tell him he can go but only if he puts in a transfer request hoping that this will take the heat off them and make it look like Draper wanted to go all along and forced the move whilst the club fought valiantly to keep him. I don't feel at any point Draper has instigated the move especially given that the club had already accepted the offer from County anyway. By doing that they made it clear that they were content for him to leave but perhaps to save themselves from some flack they tried to shift the "blame! for the move onto Draper. Draper, having now seen the ICT staement savages the club in his interview after joining County and twists the knife a bit with some other comments which are also partly true. He's been pretty vocal about it all on Twitter, unusual given that he is pretty quiet on social media, whereas ICT have stuck out that statement and then, in line with their current approach to everything, gone silent on all fronts. I feel they've been found out (again) and are just keeping quiet until it blows over (unlike porngate when they stuck out that laughable statement).

Robertson had Chalmers and Calder swapped round last weekend so I think he's finally seen that Calder is better further forward. I would expect us to continue that way. Robbo isn't getting any of the Draper fee to spend sadly. Just the wages freed up

Again, do you think he would have made those comments had it not been for our statement saying he requested a transfer acting like he instigated the move? Regardless, a lot of what he says is sadly true.

I suspect his comments were strongly influenced by our clubs statement.

First time I've seen JR confirm that Raven is / was the "unnamed" high earner they were trying to shift.

Some interesting words from Draper here: http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/New-Ross-County-signing-Ross-Draper-claims-Caley-Thistle-board-told-him-to-submit-transfer-request-to-complete-move-10082017.htm So apparently even though the club had already accepted the offer to make it look like they had no choice they got Draper to demand a transfer. Brilliant (!) Whilst normally I would say there are two sides to every story my trust in anything to do with ICT is so low right now I wouldn't believe them if they said the sky was blue. Why should we just move on? Yet again this appears to be the latest in a long series of cock ups by the club. Questions have to be asked of them. I find it incredible that some fans just want to "move on". I have significant reservations about the way this club is being run at the minute with this Draper saga the latest in a pretty lamentable last few months.

Because right now my trust in the club couldn't be any lower and I don't really trust anything that comes from them. The same person who told me about Robbo coming in as manager a day or so before he did along with some of the other transfers that have been made this summer. Regardless, to me it's pretty simple. Either he requested a transfer or he didn't. ICT have claimed that he did yet on the back of press conferences today we have a journalist saying that there is clearly more to this than meets the eye which doesn't really leave many other options to explore. ETA: Draper believes that his name has been "dragged through the mud" and that the club asked him to submit a "notification of his desire to leave".

Draper didn't submit a transfer request but for some reason the club is saying that he did. As SO says below maybe that is to appease the fans but it just makes the club look stupid that they're having to make stuff up.

Legends and Charlie Ds are the stadium bars. The former is bigger, has more TVs etc whilst the latter is smaller and has live bands playing pre match. Apparently both get really busy before a game so if you are trying to get in after 1330 you'll likely be standing.

I'm on my mobile so I'm not sure if this will work but this Tweet might shed some light on matters... That seems to have worked but if not basically it appears that the ICT statement about Draper requesting a transfer and forcing the move is not true at all. Put simply, the club have lied to us. Charles Bannerman spoke to Robbo earlier and I think it was touched on there but I'm not certain.

Allegedly we can now add fabricating players asking for transfers to the sorry list.

Exactly, no point talking about it and querying why the guy who was being made out to be one of our leading players to get us back up this season has been sold to our rivals. That's the kind of attitude the board of this club love. Stick your head in the sand, don't question anything, keep paying your money and coming along to games.

Don't disagree with a lot of what you say but I can't agree with this. Any time I have gone into the shop, whilst it is pretty embarrassing, the folk in there have always been polite and helpful. I've never felt like I was an inconvenience at all.
