Izzy, I'm sorry if you accidentally misread what I was saying,but a couple of points. I have made it clear that I would have found this offensive and acted (as I have previously done). You must also realise that the police will only act if there has been a complaint in this respect. It seems there was none. The teams that you think we bear no comparison to are football teams who have fans as well, of all types who can be offensive as well.. I have a long background as a professional in mental health, and find your (erroneous) implication that I would minimise the effects by "making excuses" a bit - to quote you - offensive.

Im sorry Davie but I cannot accept that as a reason for Police not stepping in .It was so offensive I don't believe they needed anyone to spell it out to them. Im not sure that Richard Brittain or his wife would agree with you that it's not personal .Please do not try to make excuses for these yobs You are comparing us to Man Untd and Man City please keep in mind it was Highland Derby .quote name="davie" post="405409" timestamp="1396725345"]Police probably didn't step in because no one complained that they found it offensive at the time. I would have found it so, but would have taken the IHE line and robustly asked them to desist. There is a long history of this type of chant, from Man City fans mocking Munich, Man Utd fans mocking Hillsborough to songs about Tommy Burn's cancer and Norrie MacAthie of Dunfermline's death. They are calculated to provoke and prompt a reaction from opposing fans, and there's nothing personal with regards to Mr Brittain's wife in this. Depression is a serious illness, but these laddies don't see that. It ain't funny, it didn't provoke a reaction and your fellow fans abhor it. So just stop it.

Me too :)).... There was plenty Police and Stewards beside them why can they not step in . They need to be named and shamed and they may think twice next time .someone knows who they are. They are a disgrace to the club.

The content of the song is very difficult to look past .Its an individuals opinion . This took the shine of an otherwise brilliant night and the fans were exceptional best atmosphere for weeks .The result was the icing on the cake I agree we must not let a few idiots spoil the occasion but their idiocy and ignorance should be dealt with.

Depends what you call positive .I call stamping out this disgusting behaviour is positive . Are you sure it was you who started this thread?? .Im not so sure.

I agree totally with Frizzle I was near enough to hear exactly what was being sung and it was absolutely disgusting also Richard Brittain was within earshot and responded with a thumbs up gesture to these numbskulls. It was embarrassing to be associated with them. Anyone who is flippant about this is no better than these idiots .Ok it was only a few but enough to be heard and in my view one is one too many . There have been ill judged songs before but to aim at someone with the problems that Richard Brittains wife has is as about as low as you can stoop .You know who you are and you can all hang your heads in shame.

It was actually Josh Meekings this time .Equally brave got bandaged up and got on with the job.!!

I know it's on TV but not live .Yesterdays game was live on T V but it didnt stop thousands of fans coming out to support team. Sitting watching it on TV two hours after KO is hardly support. Just what does this team have to do ??????????? Sorry for rant but just saying it as I see it !!!!! Yesterday was a Sunday with lots of options to get there by public transport, most of them returning by 10 p.mish.. Motherwell is on a Wednesday night with no options of that. Most of us will have to work on Thursday morning which is not very nice when you come home around 2 p.m.. Most of us have to look how to pay mortgage, food, insurances etc., many for a whole family. This won't be made easier if they get sacked from their jobs for not meeting expectations because they run off to a footie match during the week. So I can fully understand that few will take the trip down from Inverness. But I'm sure that the central belters will be there and make the club proud with their support! Rainbow if you read my post properly you would see that I put in a nutshell what you just came back at me with. I just cannot not believe that out of the thousands yesterday we cannot fill a mini bus . I've made my point and now Im going to leave this topic here as I don't particularly like where its going.

Very disappointed and saddened to hear no transport to game on Wed night at Motherwell. I realise money is tight for a lot of people but out of the the thousands of supporters yesterday I would like to think we could at least have managed to fill a mini bus for an important league game.....The team deserve better than this ,we are out of the cups now so we need to support them to get as high up the league as possible Im actually quite disgusted .

Today is the reason I devote my weekends to ICT in good times and bad . GOOD LUCK to the TEAM and a safe journey to all our fans .Let us make it a day to remember win or lose ...Enjoy !!!!!

Did I read somewhere that tickets for Tuesday nights replay against Stranraer have to be bought in advance ...

And no goals ???

Apart from all the chances that hit the post MacDonald is a pretty good goalkeeper....

Just returned from overnight stay in Ayr after game at Stranraer. Would just like to say a big Thank You to Jen , Lyn,and Bob for getting us there and back safely. It was a very good fun trip enjoyed by All, and in very good company. Thanks again and look forward to the next one

Hope that doesn't include the drivers !! :))

Not over till the fat lady sings ...but sounds as if Yogi has locked the door !!!

OR....Fancy coming to a lovely city like Inverness and joining a team of hard working genuine boys with the prospect of becoming our No 1 scorer.. SOLD ?????

I don't think so. Friendly natives ??

Why Tremarco Ive been at every game and haven't seen him have a bad one yet ?????

Agree with all above plus he has just got his assistant so for a God sake lighten up and get behind them . All teams have off days and our usual pattern after a bad result we come out all guns blazing... Looking forward to Sun.!!!!

What un unfair situation he has been injured for weeks ICT get him back to match finess and he moves on . Hope there is no truth in it .

Derek Adams bumping his gums because our replay hasn't taken place already.He wants it played on Tues night .Is it not a bit odd that there was no mention of getting it played before he got his new players signed .Also we have cup semi following Sun. Nice try Derek but your ploy not working :))
