  1. Gents, congratulations on getting the job. I'm sure you are under no illusions about how big a task you have taken on.

    There is no doubt you will find the fans right behind you on Sunday and we all hope you can get off to a successful start.

    Hopefully, Celtic will be knackered after tonight! :rotflmao:

  2. Think it's more than 11 harry, it got extended. However I agree with your point, I hope we have someone in for saturdays game.

    They've got someone in for Saturday.... It's the ever versatile Graham Bennett.... and according to his assistant John Doc, on Radio Scotland tonight, he might be in place for 2 or 3 games...

    That was the contingency plan, Harry....

    We can obviously forget about Robbo now.... He could have been installed as manager by now - but for some pathetic tiff with DJS several years ago.

    I think you mean DFS.

  3. Thanks to all who came along and contributed. Certainly an interesting evening with as much concern voiced about what's happening off the park as what's happening on it. If anyone was looking for a unanimous "Brewster must go" outcome then that wasn't to be as there are considerable numbers of fans who feel that would not be appropriate.

    However, I do think the statement above is a truthful reflection of the common concern felt by all ICT fans right now.

  4. "In view of the current position of the football club, reflected in our current league placing and recent poor performances, we urge the board of the football club to, as much as possible, make clear to supporters in the next week its strategy to ensure that Inverness Caledonian Thistle retains its place in the SPL.

    In addition, we ask that the club urgently investigates how they can better communicate with the fans, retail merchanndise to the fans and generally make the matchday experience a more enjoyable one.

    We remain fully behind the ICT team at this time and urge all fans to do the same".

    Despite diverse opinions on some matters at the meeting, the above statement was agreed by the meeting and reflects the general concerns shown by the fans present.

  5. Just a wee reminder that the meeting is tonight. People can join the Trust on the night.

    Do remember, if you are going, that good order at the meeting is vitally important. It must not be a shouting match. People will inevitably want to express different views and must be able to do so without being heckled.

    Looking forward to seeing you there.

  6. I have to agree it was a strange way to go about a training exercise. I do think that Northern Constabulary were stung a bit during some previous visits of the Old Firm to Inverness when there were things being sung that shouldn't, no action was taken and Lex Gold and his cronies were critical of the lack of police action. Suppose OF fans are well used to it as they must encounter it at every away game.

  7. I pressume the Trust have an opinion on the fans being filmed for no reason?

    Having spoken to the police on the day and ICTFC today it seems that club officials were as surprised as the fans were by the appearance of the EGT at the game on Saturday. It was not raised at pre-match meetings. ICTFC contacted Northern Constabulary who say that Saturday was a training exercise in preparation for upcoming games, particularly the visits of Rangers and Celtic.

    It does seem strange but as has already been mentioned we are potentially under observation all the time at the ground from something much more clandestine than the EGT with their orange bibs.

    So let's give them no excuse to make a return visit to the North Stand with any sectarian singing or the like.

  8. News release from ICT FC

    Inverness Caledonian Thistle plan to invest to help ensure the club retains its SPL status.

    Chairman George Fraser said:"The major shareholders and the board are united in our determination to improve on a position where we are one of four teams level on points at the foot of the table.

    "We realise we need to strengthen the squad in January and significant finance has been made available to the manager for this purpose. He knows his budget.

    A network of sources will be used to help director of football Graeme Bennett to assist in the recruitment process."

    Mr Fraser added:"The directors realise there is disquiet among supporters at our poor home record and league position. We share that disappointment and recognise that it needs to improve if we are to rise in the table.

    "The long term future of this club is safe thanks to the emphasis which has been placed on sustainability. But we are ready to invest in the short term with the aim of ensuring SPL football for Inverness and the Highlands next season."

  9. Having researched some of my own family's war history I know how difficult it can be. The only possible "easy" solution might be to check out the local press from when football restarted in 1919 to see if they touch on the matter of the players missing having been killed in action.

  10. Lots of effort but a complete lack of quality. We should have scored before the break and should have had a penalty. Hearts should have had one too. Defence looked scared of Nade throughout and he is one impressive player.

    For all the effort in the second half we had one half chance and didn't force a single corner. Really poor stuff with everything we were trying extremely obvious.

    Imrie, without Black and Cowie, looked a shadow of his normal self. Don't see how others could be impressed with him.

    Barrowman was a complete waste of time - on tha point everybody seems to be agreed.

    What injury has Cowie sustained, when did he do it and how long will he be out for?
