Whats wrong with our home one? It's just horrific. The swoosh thing is just too weird and for my liking it's too blue as well (I support ICT adopting blue and red stripes as the main shirt design like Celtic have with the hoops, Hearts with maroon and white etc.).

How did you manage that?

Do you seriously think that Maurice Malpas would be a good manager for ICT? He was dreadful at Motherwell, and dreadful at Swindon. Sacked by Swindon, and took Motherwell from being a comfortable mid-table SPL side toa very near relegated one. The only success Malpas has ever had was when he was least with Butcher (and vice versa [they seem to be hopeless apart, but together they become good]). I am also strongly against a former manager coming back and that would include Robertson. He might have been good when he was here, but he hasn't done much good anywhere else. He might see himself as the next manager in waiting but I don't. Have a look at how many managers have done well after returning to a former club. The one that sticks out is Walter Smith, but he has a huge budget and still hasn't had a massive amount of success. Another fairly successful two-time manager I can think of is Steve Bruce at Wigan, though less so success-wise. When the time comes that Butcher moves on (hopefully taking Malpas with him), I'll come out on here and endorse a candidate who would come to ICT, has had success, play's attractive football, makes good signings on a smaller budget, and has has even received praise from Butcher. I'll make that endorsement of that candidate and hopefull management team when the time comes. For now I believe that it is too early to tell how well Butcher has, and will do.

I hope the new away kit is better than the current sorry disgrace of a home one.

The thing about Sydney is that they seem to have a new boss every year and are very hasty to sack them. Butcher got the push because Sydney failed to reach the A League play-offs, due to a points debuction that wasn't his fault. Sydney have only been going five years and have had about the same number of managers, they recently sacked the last guy John Kosmina, for every little as well and replaced him with some Eastern European guy who I've never heard of. He too, will probably come to a sticky end.

Guy Kerr is another one. Quite a lot of times on the bench but only got on once IIRC. Last 10 minutes or so against Gretna.

Sydney United

York City

Do people still watch this rubbish?

While I think the "Boardroom Banter" is a good idea, I can't help but feel that the ICT folk look at it as being a bit of a burden, and the way they answer certain questions, is in at times patronising and the questions they ignore and dodge others, at times, gives you a better answer than any of their's would. If you look as well, there's also times when they seem to change the question to fit their answer. You can almost guess their answer as well. You don't get the impression, the club likes the fans at all.

I take that'll be Fraser's replacement signed then. I don't recollect much about Morrsion or Sutherland, but I do remember Allison quite well from a couple of reserve games, probably cause he wasn't very good.

I for one am quite pleased Zander's away. Completely overated, and not big or strong enough for the First Divison, let alone the SPL.

A while ago, it seemed to be a big complaint on here that there was poor commication between ICT and the fans. With Boardroom Banter being brought in, do you feel more connected to the club, or has it had an adverse effect?

What would football be like without money? Far better.

:004:

Having a look through the aforementioned programme agin, and someone else who's name I don't really know is David MacRae. Don't remember much about him. I seem to recollect an English striker name something Jackson (Ben perhaps?) being on the bench around 2005 ish. Don't think he ever turned for ICT. You could also argue that Dean McDonald is another one, though probably made more appearances than he deserved. I remember when he signed, everyone thought he was the best thing since sliced bread, and going by some apparent friendly's was gonna be the next big thing. Made the bench quite a few times but I remember when I came on it was like going down to ten men. He couldn't run, he couldn't jump, he couldn't do anything really, and he was only 5"4. I see he went to Rushden and Diamonds after ICT and failed there as well (surprise, surprise) and then went Gray's Athletic or somewhere on loan before moving to Northwich Victoria who also punted him. According to Wikipedia he then went to "Tooting & Mitcham United" and he's now with Farnborough.

A frog has a vertical line through both it's pupils while a toad doesn't I think.

Lewis Mackinnon came on as a sub for last 4 minutes for Bingham v Raith in a 3-0 victory on 14/02/04 Never to be seen again! Lewis Mackinnon was a very talented young man. whether or not he would have made it in the SPL is another thing. if i remember he went to nairn or somewhere further out that way when he left us. tried for clyde when bomber was there at the start but they felt he was too young. he's now playing in australia and having a ball! can't remember the name of the team but something with sunshine coast in it rings a bell... This is what I found on a Nairn County site - Position: Defender/striker Squad number: 8 Signed from: Sunshine Coast Fire Nationality: Scottish Lewis MacKinnon joined the club in November 2008 on a short-term deal after returning from Australia.The former Inverness CT youth is currently back in his homeland after the season with his previous club - Sunshine Coast Fire - finished down under. He is expected to stay at Station Park until at least March. MacKinnon can play either as a centre half or up front and his height and power can toughen up Les Fridge's defence or add a new dimension to the team's attack. It is the 23-year-old's second spell at Nairn having spent the 2004-05 season on loan from Inverness CT. Following that, he spent 12 months at Forres Mechanics before moving to Buckie Thistle for two season before his stint down under. Yeah, mentioned those already.

I think it's Iron Maiden.

I suppose Richie Byrne can be added to this list. Made the bench a couple times, went to St J and is now away. Gathuessi is another one, played twice but only for about ten minutes each time, recently signed for some wee French team. McNulty, Never played, supposedly extremely dodgy. And I was having a look through the ICT v St J last 1st division game the other day and I see that the Supporters Club had sponsored someone called Lewis MacKinnon, Never heard of him and seems to have disappeared into the mists of time.

This has to be the most cringeworthy thing I've ever read.

If Brewster scores a winner against us, i'll run round Dingwall naked! No thanks

B) I can't people are taking my "views" on this seriously.

Yet another well thought out thread from Renegade B) You don't really have much to say do you?

Am I the only person who thinks Susan Boyle is way way overrated?
