IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I am impressed if not bamboozled by the use of legal jargon but equally bamboozled that there is not a simple way to get a response to a question which is clearly irking a lot of fans. Why cant the Supporters Trust or an amalgamation of fans groups make another formal request, post it on here and other fan forums - ask the question at every interview and add it as a regular feature on the Podcast - and really put the pressure on. Surely then if they dont come out of their shell with that kind of actions they can be severely criticised with "evidence". Instead of headlines about an amalgamation with Tinkerville put a feckin headline in the Courier - "When will ICT fans receive news about the AGM ?"

Somewhat similar to Dodds this is in the wrong post and it has lost the thread.

All good posts but this one is more succinct. The Tin Tin lookalike should have been showed yellow (by the rules) but that would have been harsh. However I didnt rate that as a professional foul or taking one for the team. Tin Tin was in his own half and going nowhere dangerous. Welsh amongst others, especially Carson, had been revved up by his antics and it was probably an attempt to wind him up even more.

Billy Dodds post match interview spot on !!!

Now whatever you want to say about this season NOBODY can complain about the 110% effort, passion and togetherness of that performance - especially when playing against 12 men. The Fat Lady is singing "A Bridge and a Castle" and onwards to the Covid Capital of Scotland.

Reminds me of the glorious days of Goals and byes !!

Now those are good substitutions.

What an absolutely ridiculous red card !!!

Wide man to wide man

Which feckin leg ?

What is the point of playing Henderson and Shaw out wide and keep blasting the ball at Billy !!

Especially now with Delaney with a needless yellow. And can somebody tell me where Hyde is playing ???

Will the Fat Lady be singing cheerily or uttering a lamenting dirge ? The tea leaves suggest we will survive tonight. Onwards and Upwards

In many ways it feels like fans have disconnected from the club. At the end of the day it’s a case of keeping the faith and literally being a diehard. I want ICT to win every game that they play in irrespective of the opposition or where they are playing. I would be at every game if I could be. It feels like diehards are being criticised for their allegiance. You can be justly critical, get rid of your anger and frustration and move on - just like you should with life in feckin general.

I think that we have beaten Celtic before in the Scottish Cup ?? We were huge underdogs at Livingston and that turned out to be a quite positive experience. Falkirk will be difficult and may be strange to be at Hampden following the favourites. And there is doubt as to who we play in the final but how can anyone want to miss that ?!! As for allegiances I concur with the old fool from the hill. My upper arm got pretty feckin itchy at times but my heart pumped Invernessian blood

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings

How the feck are we going to get pished before the kick ofF ??

Well to be honest the reason that I started this topic - and the reason I have been posting after an absence - is that I was disillusioned and TBH totally cheesed off - by the negativity and IMHO a number of unfairly derisive posters who appeared to be more intent in catastrophising and being overly critical and negative. Shure there was a lot to complain about but I could not understand that the injuries this season were not seen as being a major reason for our poor form. No other team in this league would have dealt with the same situation. It gave me great pleasure to witness the rise in the scoring and the positivity in the last few weeks. And did anyone actually believe that we would take three points from Queens Park ?? Well some eejits are still talking about relegation. I sincerely am sticking at a FIVE - as I truly believe that we have an outside chance of making the play offs given our fixture list - and I intend to go to Morton and to Hamilton (away). We have been away behind before and made up the ground. I dont think that we will get promoted but we have to keep up the momentum for the Cup. And as for the sanctimonious amongst us - I wish I could start a podcast revealing the rumours that I have heard - I evidently cant - BUT wholly agree that the club needs a clear out and a managerial reconstruction. There may be individuals retained which I do not agree with but individuals given more creedence and influence plus financial support from a - lets say previously rumoured source. At the end of the day I am a feckin diehard and my season will be saved by two trips to Hampden and a play off or close to play off place ending. OK the negative may be that I have little confidence in the tactics during the league fixtures and the unbelievable, continuing lack of communication with the fan base.

Perhaps we have actually been spoilt over the years and playing in a major semi final no longer holds any real sense of achievement, expectation or perhaps even passion. Perhaps it is about being the favourites and not playing against a more illustrious club. Perhaps many may be anticipating a win and saving up for a bigger day out playing one side of the Old Filth. Unfortunately in the current climate the obstacles of finances, travel and TV coverage also take its toll and the game may well have been better attended if it had been played at Easter Road or Tynecastle. My sense is that this is another unforgettable and unmissable episode in the history of ICT and Inverness football. So I am going to strive to be there and look forward to meeting up with the fortunate and the rich elements of our support

Thank you for your response- I will record the statistic in the sanctimonious section

Great to have you back Charles, especially as you are still biting

Tomorrow is as difficult a match as we have had in some time. Unfortunately it is a must win for the play offs. I fear that there may be a backlash due to our recent performances and results. Personally I would be satisfied with a draw. Anything better would be the biggest confidence booster in a long time. Lets make sure that when we wash Incey Wincey spider down the spout that we plug it.
