Who said he'd been offered anything here or that we were actually interested? Seems to me like people are getting their knickers in a twist over nothing.

Five's not a quadruple!

Some stuff for the kids (young & old) as well.... http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1792-fun-day-v-arbroath

More papers are taking their paywalls down than putting them up these days....was killing site visitors and, as such, online advertising revenue.

The match kicks off at 3pm......2:15pm is the time the show starts on BT.

Yes. Apologies for the delay, took me longer than anticipated to check through/edit the content and I'm just awaiting sign off so I can put it online.

Bughtmaster, I wasn't really aiming my views at anyone in particular....had I any specific point to make about your post then I would have quoted it. However, now that you've re-established focus on your post, it's probably your second last line that gives it an air of 'OMG AN ICEBERG'

The objective in these matches is not winning or to be entertaining....it's about getting a run out, shaking off the cobwebs and the manager trying to get a gauge on where players are at with fitness/sharpness. The only people who can judge how successful the match was are the Manager and Coaches. I've seen pre-seasons where we've gone out and won every friendly, bagging goals by the fistful and had terrible starts to the season....and vice-versa. We saw one trialist and Richie has said he'll be running the rule over another 2 or 3 before the start of the league season...and also that he won't rush any decision as he wants the right players and not just any players. Maybe I'm just getting more chilled about these things in my old age, but I don't get worked up over pre-season matches anymore. I think I might have just had a "turning into my Dad" moment!!!

Not misleading at all.....I clearly state that the variation with the change of wording wasn't first used until about 6 months ago.

Yeah, they did!!! It's been used on the website and social media....not for everything, but here's a few examples.

The reworking of the badge was actually done, and started to be used, about 9 or 10 years ago. The variation with "Pride of the Highlands" started to be rolled out on things over 6 months ago. The club name has not been changed.....well, not since 1996 at least!

I've just been told that the remainder of the listed friendlies are first team. It's entirely feasible that some of the squads would also include U20s....but that's just speculation on my part.

All other listed friendlies will be first team, including the two next weekend.

It's not white, it's vanilla. Got a feeling this could be my new "small k" point this coming season!!

Actually, it's Tahitian Gold Vanilla.

This is from memory as I don't have the shirts to hand to check.....but the home shirt has a blank section on the back where the number goes. The away shirt (which is vanilla coloured) has a black stripe down the side and pinstripe on the edge of the sleeve and nothing "extra" pattern wise on the back. Away shirt can be seen a little better in this image... We're just awaiting pre-order details which should be with us shortly.

Don't expect any senior players to be taking part in this one and the new strip won't be worn until our first competitive match.

Special treat for those attending the Q&A as they'll be the first to learn who it is.

No problem, I'll take care of that for you.

Think it's time to draw a line under what's come before and start looking to what's here now and how that will shape the future. There's certainly nothing to be gained by dragging past negativity into threads such as this, IMO.

Still a few spaces available for the Fans Q&A tomorrow night. You can book your spot at : https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/caley-thistle-fans-qa-with-richie-foran-friends-registration-26147507900 The panel will be.....

Richie confirmed today there's another 3 or 4 players on the way.

You are wrong...it's 18. Jason Brown, Cammy Mackay and Ali Sutherland are all on pro contracts now. Still more to come though.

I've been accused of sounding like worse!
