Jags v Wasps March2025
5 points dropped in the last 2 games isn't good enough. I'm afraid Kellagher has to take a chunk of the blame for this. Far too slow and late making changes in both the Annan and Alloa matches when we were crying out for them. Billy should not have been given the responsibility of taking the penalty as he is visibly short of confidence and Kellacher should have realised that. I'm afraid Billy slows the game down too much now and worth giving Cairns a try. Yet again, a game poorly refereed. Savage's first booking was soft while his second was ridiculous. Some robust tackling from Alloa went unpunished including a two footed tackle referee did even blow for. Standside linesman also worthy of a mention for missing z clear offside when he wasn't up with play and giving 2 throws to Alloa when the ehole ball was clearly not out.

Totally agree, surely this was one of the first things that should have been done and might have generated more goodwill sooner.

Admin by Oct 16th - It's here now!
Apologies in advance if I've got this wrong. As I understand it, the directors who made loans to the club agreed to write these off. Don't know if that was before or after we went into administration. Either way, surely the first task of the administrators was to get that legally agreed but this doesn't seem to have happened, why?. The other point is what security was granted to Morrison to "guarantee " his loan. Again as I understand it, the area involved is sub leased from the Council and is, effectively worthless as no other activity can currently be undertaken to bring in revenue to Morrison. Something stinks there. As I stated at the outset, I may have this all wrong but if anyone knows any answers.....

Much too small a site and am sure residents would put up a fight against any proposal for a stadium.

Annan @ Home March2025
This, to me, is a concern with Kellagher in that I don't think he is tactically aware enough. Changes should have been made far earlier today and we needed to play at a far higher tempo. This nonsense if having all our players back to defend cirberz Gas to cease as it doesn't work as we then have not outlet to clear the ball. We actually kept 2 men up late in yfe game but we seriously need to change this tactic.

Annan @ Home March2025
Football can be a cruel game at times. Think Annan had 1 shot on goal and scored whereas we must have had well into double figures yet only hit the target on 2 occasions. Paul Allan was desperately unlucky to hit the post but Billy should have scored. The majority of the other chances were all of the half chance variety and their keeper had 3/4 reallgood saves. Felt some players were just off their game today, Bray, Stewart, Gilmour and Billy for example and, to me, Devine is a mistake waiting to happen in most games at the moment. He almost cost us another goal due to a poor needless pass and his delivery into their box was poor. Finally the referee, who again I thought was poor. Blatant penalty denied in the first half and let Annan get away with murder on time wasting. Pick of that was one of their defenders going down in his box clutching his head only to ge treated for cramp. Too far away to see why the goal was disallowed but pretty sure if it was for a foul, it wouldn't have been given outside the box. At least we now know what we have to do now and that is secure 8th place as a minimum.

Annan @ Home March2025
Big Big game. Win this and I would confidently say we are safe from relegation. We would be 8 points ahead with only 7 games to play and surely Annan won't win 3 more games than us in those 7. Hopefully a big and noisy home support will push us to victory. Annan are a physical team so we need to be prepared for a battle. Hopefully we get a better referee as well than we've had recently.

Warriors come North
Wow, don't know where that performance came from but thankful it did. Every player put in a shift and bearing in mind we were missing Longstaff and Bavidge went off injured, even more impressive. We'll miss Bray next season and how ironic would it be if Dunfermline get relegated and we end up in the same league. Win on Saturday and we are 90% safe in my opinion so onwards and upwards.

Queens up North Feb2025
Wasn't close in reality. Needed a second goal to make life easier but their keeper had some good saves. Denied what looked like an obvious penalty to me as well. Referee was dreadful, Queens should have been down to 10 nen in the first half but ref bottled it then booked Gilmour for a similar tackle shortly afterwards. Mackinnon and Brays bookings were ridiculous compared to some of the dreadful fouls committed by Queens. Possibly the worst ref yet and that's saying something.

Sons six-pointer Jan2025
Deserved win but we ended up making hard work of it. Build up play was far too slow at times but when we did move the ball quickly, we were much more threatening. Bavidge looks like an inspired signing at this level and if only we stopped the square passing and looked up, he was making some great runs. Worryingly we were poor defensively at times with Devine and Nolan both poor. Devine needs to cut out the mistakes he makes game after game and cut out the speculative passes. Nolan just seems unable to stop crosses coming in at times. Thankfully, Bray and Savage played very well. A wins a win though so onwards and upwards.

Smokies @ home Dec2024
No we weren't. Obviously the sending off changed the game but we were comfortable up until then. Mistakes cost us, the sending off down to Longstaff and Thompson messing up and no complaints for that booking. His first though was very soft. The second goal cane from us chasing the game and Nolan getting his pass back horribly wrong. However it looked like we should have had a penalty prior to that but yet another poor refereeing decision cost us. Referee was very poor and inconsistent today and definitely had a bearing on the result.

Queens ***GAME OFF BERT***
Nonsense. Fames have been called off before due to poor travelling conditions or even poor conditions around stadiums for spectators. SPFL could and should have intervened in this and called games off in advance. If the team had refused to travel , on police advice, the SPFL could have sanctioned them for not fulfilling a fixture.

Admin by Oct 16th - It's here now!
I was told around 6 to 8 weeks ago that Dumbarton would likely go into administration due to, basically, fraud. I was sworn to silence at the time but it looks like it is becoming true. It really hammers home how clubs need good directors to challenge inappropriate behaviours by others.

Wasps @ our Byke Nov2024
Looked like a definite penalty to me as the keeper just took Longstaff out with little attempt to play the ball. Only 1 of our bookings was for time wasting, Nolan, and it looked like that was because the linesman/ref refused to let us put a sub on. The bookings for Gilmour and Billy were extremely harsh and systematic of a poor referee.

Wasps @ our Byke Nov2024
Another well deserved win although we had to work hard to get it. Some outstanding performances from our younger players. Once again however, Another dreadful refereeing performance which almost cost us.

Kelty @ Home Nov2024
Best performance performance of the season so far. Plenty of skill also speed and the will to get forward. When your lucks out with the off the rebound off the post bouncing into thee keepers arms and a stunning stunning save from him as well what can you do. Yet again, poor refereeing to disallow the goal, keeper made a mess of the cross then rolled about as iif seriously injured when little, if any contact. Clear fouls not given against Longstaff and Thomson the first one could well have been been a penalty. One of these days, we'll get a penalty.

Annan @ Home Oct 19th 2024
No it isn't. ICT are the only professional senior football team in Inverness so if the good people of Inverness, if they want to save their team, then they do need to get off their arses to support ICT. Even in the Championship, Dunfermline, and now Falkirk get much bigger attendances than us and both these clubs have had similar problems to us. Why should that be the case?, cue the usual comments on poor this and poor that. You either support your team or you don't. To late to support your team once it's gone. We seem to have a large element of "support " who are never satisfied with the club and always have an excuse for not attending games.

Annan @ Home Oct 19th 2024
Comfortable win in the end not helped by a dreadful referee who denied uz 2, probably 3 stonewall penalties similar to the Stenhousemuir fame. We're certainly not getting any breaks from the referees just now. Players gave their all today, just a huge pity more of our so called fans couldn't be bothered to get off their arses to comexabd support the club.

Admin by Oct 16th - It's here now!
While understandable fans want answers to many questions over what has gone on, surely the focus, for the foreseeable future has to be how the club comes out of this. I couldn't get a ticket for the meeting bit saw the list of questions from the supporters trust. If they thought they could all be discussed and answered last night, they were on another planet. Yes, the questions need answering and the board should be given time to deal with this. As I have said though, that cannot be the priority right now, saving the club is. As for Messrs Bennett and Fyfe being directors, they need cleared out, especially Mr Fyfe as he has done nothing for the club as far as I can see. As for us fans, we really do need to turn up in far greater numbers than wr have been and buy merchandise to support the club financially. You Hever know the merchandise may become a collectors item😄

I fear the club has made a grave error here if Gardiner's contract was watertight. They must have known that, if it was, we would have to pay what was remaining on his contract. It would have been far better, perhaps even easier if they had gone down the disciplinary route and sacked him that way thus avoiding paying compensation. Whatever happens, the club and supporters must now do everything to destroy Gardiner's reputation, within the law of course. I'll start by calling him a corrupt, devious and dishonest b*****d.

That's the spirit eh, don't support your team when they really need you. Ownership of the club, board membership will be sorted out one way or another but do many of our "fans" actually want the club to survive. Will you be one of the fans watching from the bridge again?. I really do wonder if many fans care whether we survive or not but as long as "they" win the argument and get the board and CEO out, club fail to find a new owner thst they like, they will be happy as they have won.

Johndo / Immortal Howden Ender
So sad. I knew Johndo from the old Academy days, he was in the year above. I too remember the mock election Johndo won, his theme tune being Alice Coopers I want to be elected. Played football with him as well and was certainly led astray on school football trips abroad as well as in this country. Hadn't seen him for a few years but he still was a great character. RIP my friend and condolences to your family.

Rose: League Cup @ home
Good "team" performance today with everyone playing their part. 3 good goals and it should have been more bar the woodwork and a couple of poor passes from Billy in the second half. Encouraging performance played at pace at times and no little skill by the team.Shame so many fans have spat their dummy out and won't go to watch and support the team. So many posters on here saying they won't buy tickets, attend games while the board are still in place, Fergusons comments blah blah blah. Would you rather the club went bust. I think the fans have probably achieved as much as they can, scrapping Kelty move, chairman and CEO resigning so now is the time to get behind the team and give them your support by attending games. Fully expect a big pile on now from the usual suspects telling me I'm talking nonsense but don't worry, I won't be reading or responding to any replies and comments. All I'll say is be careful what you wish for.

Season Tickets + Resignation Confirmation
While I fet that many fans are reluctant to renew season tickets, bottom line is the club needs money to survive. If fans choose ge pay at gate option, many will not attend every game if that happens thus depriving the club of revenue. Difficult as it may be, fans at some point are going to have to trust the club and put their money where their mouth is. While administration may solve many problems, it is not without risk and costs.
