This is all getting rather depressing, especially as we have a semi-final to win. All these off-field agendas aren't helping and making allegations about people is unacceptable. Yes, the club is in financial straits but we all should be doing our best to rally round and try to sort things out.

I do miss his comments on the forum even if I didn't always agree with him. 

Yes, spot-on there. Agree or disagree with him CB's comments and posts were always worth reading.

Seems like another world from today's outlook for the club.

Surely any business worth its salt would be doing some market research to actually find out why the attendances are falling. They should be getting out on the streets and asking some basic questions. What about going to season ticket holders who haven't renewed - that would be a good starting point. There's the website too - put a questionnaire on that.

Of course publish the results and see if there's a common thread. Surely worth a try.

Great result after all these draws. Well done guys and roll on Saturday.

Let's hope for a decent turnout of ICT fans at the Dump !

Another potential banana skin. Look at the Edinburgh City game - ICT were complacent and were taken to a replay (which we won convincingly).

Spot-on there. An ongoing problem at The Dump but where have all the supporters gone ?

I'm looking at the current situation from long distance and it depresses and concerns me. ICT just seem a bit rudderless at the moment and in desperate need of some good results - that's stating the obvious I know. We are in grave danger of being cast adrift mid-table (or even worse). The club needs to get the attendances up for a kick-off but it's a double-edged sword - better results and performances = bigger crowds, or hopefully that's the outcome.

A huge disappointment of a performance and a result of course. Why can't our players play to their strengths instead of trying to play like players with abilities they clearly don't possess ?

Anyway, we live to fight another day and if we win the replay next week the mighty East Kilbride lie in wait - another potential banana skin.

Not only the board though. More fans need to attend on a regular basis to make our finances more viable. Support from the board needs to be matched by commitment from supporters.

Absolutely correct. We need far more fans through the gates and we do play good football. Come on Sneck get behind ICT.

Great result for the ICT and full credit to Robbo and the boys. Quite agree with other posts that if we are serious about promotion we do need spend in the January window. Our unbeaten run and results like this show the team has a backbone but we do need some more firepower up front.

Wishing you all the very best Scotty. It's just one battle (and a very big one, there's no mistaking that) but you can win the war.

Surely a victory in tonight's match could be the start of a winning run. We've already beaten The Pars away this season and that was a very good performance. A return to that sort of form would be a big boost prior to Saturday.

Surely a win for ICT is long overdue. The team really need to come up with the goods on Saturday. All to play for so come on lads !

Yes, the board may be small but on the other hand do we want it turned into something top-heavy and bloated with people. The main thing is that we have people on it who have experience and business acumen gained in the world of modern business.

That is very sad news indeed. Sincere sympathy to his family and friends.

Who's writing these things?  The fact Keith is spelled wrong twice (and it's not even a mistake made by from autocorrect) makes it look as if it's been written by someone with no knowledge of the area whatsoever.

Very true but I'm afraid geography of any kind isn't taught in the schools these days. That is bad though and just doesn't look good to put it mildly.

The Championship looks as if it's going to be a very competitive league next seaso. I think all teams will be able to beat any other team on their day, so it's crucial that ICT get off to a good start and get points on the board early, we don't want to be playing catch up, like we were trying to do for all of last season. Hopefully our last season in the Championship will work in our favour next term, with the squad being more settled, and the players not coming into the season as strangers. I have a good feeling for the coming season.

Yes, agree with this. We seem to be putting together a good squad with a mixture of youth and experience who I very much hope will do well next season. I am optimistic. 

I wish her all the very best in this post. We need as much business experience, acumen and knowledge as possible as ICT face the future where budgets and income are bound to be tight.

The away top is very smart and I like the black trim on the home top. That is welcome.

It would be nice to see some black somewhere in the new strip. A pinstripe or something similar.  

At least this game is close to Inverness which should give a good number of ICT fans the chance to go along and support the team. I think my first Caley away game was against Nairn County. Memories, memories.........

I think we're building the team quite nicely for next season but it's early days. Some of the youngsters are going to have to step up to the plate. The Championship is a tough league to get out of and the 2018/2019 season is going to be no different. Given our post-cup run I am optimistic for our fortunes. 

Yes, if the County go down we'll have the Highland derbies back again which might be a good thing in the short term where revenues for a few matches are concerned. Not a good thing for football in the Highlands as it makes both ICT and County look like teams who lack the strength in depth to sustain their status in the SPL year after year, even though we came creditably close to the play-offs this season. We'll see what happens on Saturday but I feel getting out of the Championship and back into the SPL will be a pretty tough call again.

Huge credit to the players, Robbo and the backroom staff for what they've all achieved, particularly over the past two months. It's been a hugely exciting ride at times but augers very well for the 2018/2019 season. Good luck to the team - the only way is up from now on !
