Barry Ferguson as interim manager: "Ferguson, 47, is a Rangers icon having formerly been club captain and winning loads of major trophies. But this is his first coaching gig since 2022. The former Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa boss will be joined in the dugout by current Gers No2 Issame Charai plus ex-players Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor".

I have the VHS and also the DVD (somewhere) but it’s NTSC system over here not PAL so unable to play either. I wonder if the club could make a few bob by releasing all three items as digital downloads for those who have lost, can’t play, or don’t have the originals? Not sure of any copyright issues that might make it difficult but if these can be overcome or don’t exist then it might be a good option as a 25th anniversary of the night we went ballistic for the first time.

"I think I was really unfortunate I lost my job through administration" Really? I think you were lucky you lost it that way ... at least you don't have a performance related sacking on your record which you would undoubtedly have had, or should have had, had you not been let go in the first 5 minutes of administration. SK has shown what can be done with the bare bones of the same squad when tactics and training are applied by an actual manager.

My original point about staying up in the division, and the significance of climbing out of the playoff/relegation zone wasn't really based on prize money or anything financial as such, but more that as a League 1 team we are (slightly) more attractive than we would be as a League 2 team. That attractiveness also increases if any potential buyer looks at the fact that we technically started on -15 points and were still able to claw our way to safety. That shows potential. Next season, assuming a 5-point penalty instead of 15, we are effectively 10 points better off starting the season that we were this year so the potential to aim for the championship is far greater. If we can make it back to the championship, then as noted, we will play 'bigger' teams with bigger support and although the prize money is still **** compared to Premiership it is higher but, more importantly, it would be a remarkable show of resilience and potential. The last 30 years have showed we definitely have bags of potential if the management of the club can be done right ...

Getting ourselves up to 8th spot would also be a significant landmark. If we can remain in the current division then financially we are more attractive. Without -15 points we would be at the right end of the table under SK and next season with a -5 point deduction perhaps it could be more successful ....

A win at Palmerston is always a tough ask, been some good tussles with ourselves and "the only team in the bible" over the years. Remember a couple of enjoyable (but long) away days there in the past. No points is a bit of a kicker but on the plus side we seem to have competed and came close. Confident we can close the gap on Annan over the coming weeks and reach safety. Refreshing that SK maintains an honest outlook. Also great that Bavidge has 3 goals in 3 games!

For context - Ross and Nairn mutually agreeing to him stepping down is what is being referred to: https://www.forres-gazette.co.uk/sport/ross-tokely-steps-down-as-manager-of-nairn-county-after-forr-372163/ . Onwards and upwards big man. #ICTLegend.

true - but always nice to see something positive these days.

He chose to engage in verbal battles with IHE on a few occasions ... nuff said! He did like to post the odd scoop (nothing confidential) and I am sure he gleaned some info here also. He was a bit of a wind-up merchant when on here, but he is articulate and writes well, and when he writes about ICT he does it from a position of knowledge and experience, certainly when talking about the earlier years. As for SK - Glad he got his chance and hope he takes it. I worked with his older brother for a long time, and he has been football daft since a young age. I recall he was a hot prospect for Celtic youth, and with the family Celtic leaning then going there as a youth was a no-brainer, but I think he got injured and that put paid to that unfortunately. I wonder how he and the CEO got on... What is most refreshing about Scott, is that he speaks his mind, none of that spin and BS, just comments on it as if he were a fan ...

Seems like that was inevitable, but it does go on to say that no clubs are expected to lose league status as a result. " "

I remember being at this game. It was bloody cold. Could not get into the Howden end that night and had to stand in no-mans land between the stand and the Howden End. After the game, like many others, we trudged diagonally across the park to the Comet/B&Q end exit that had been opened as the main exit was struggling to cope with the crowd. I remember to this day that as cold as it was, the ground was heavy and muddy as ****. Ruined a decent pair of shoes that night.

Thats a possibility. The land may be worthwhile to the council in terms of selling it on or leasing it as part of the freeport area if we were to be relocated or perhaps they let it lie fallow for a few years to truly drive the value down. However, where would we go and how would we finance a new stadium? Would this be part of any deal to reclaim the reclaimed land? I have no idea of the legalities of this, but if the lease has been "acquired" out from underneath us then no-one can cry foul if the council do it to them! RM once told me - when we were discussing potential links over here - that he would sell his stake in the club for £1 if the right person came along. I challenge him to do that now! Come to the table, work things out for the benefit of all. Was going to cut out parts of this for brevity but I simply cannot. You are right Charles. There has been a lack of clarity and transparency going on for years, one that you have highlighted here and elsewhere for some time and which our posters on here have also been concerned about for years. There is a lot that doesnt pass the sniff test, and it has got stinkier every year, month and week. As shareholders we have been treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed on s*** ! There has to be some dereliction of process and duty of care in this somewhere.
