Kind of Blue

A very positive meeting and I was greatly impressed by the new chairman.

No, I think you're boldly going into the wrong universe there

Tactics: learn to defend and we are half-way there to get some results, simples.

Hugely disappointed by Draper's departure. The Board need to now demonstrate that we really are going to have a genuine promotion chasing squad by giving Robertson the funds get some quality signings in the August window,

What is your source for this?

DU were very fortunate to come away with 3 points. The penalty looked very soft and I thought we hand a stone-waller when Draper went down in the box. It will be interesting to see be both incidents on tv. Overall I thought we had a good first half with Calder playing some good stuff. Polworth, who I rate, really has to start imposing himself in games. He has the talent but IS NOT SHOWING IT AND HAS TO IMPROVE.

The transfer is all due to be completed very shortly and it will result in a substantial annual saving in rental costs. This is a very good deal for ICT.

Ah yes - Boden the pre-season wonder...

Always good when the strikers get scoring early on.

You had me confused there Bronson, I thought it was new nickname for him since he was here last.

Please enlighten us Dougal, will you now be buying a season ticket?

Well done the Board for making some positive changes. Let's hope they keep communicating with the fans going forward.

Some good points there, Charles. I think you would make a good ICT Comms person - please take note ICT Board...

There is a lack of evidence of Board activity but I do hear that there is good things going on in the background and hopefully this will start to become clearer in the next few weeks.

Well said Caley 100. By buying our season tickets we show our support whilst Dougal just snipes away on the sidelines with nothing positive, as usual, to say or contribute.

Yes the season ticket is more than I was expecting but I will be renewing it and I urge everybody who can to renew also. The club needs us more than ever at this point. The new Chairman and Board have made a tough but correct decision with Richie Foran and they must now get it right with the new manager but in the meantime we as fans must give them the benefit of the doubt and show out unity and support by buying season tickets and showing our support in anyway we can.

Yes you'll be pleased that your County season ticket is cheaper this year.

Jim Duffy is worth considering. Yes I know he may seem dull and uninspiring bu he has done a really solid job with Morton this season on a very tight budget.

I fully agree with your comments about Kenny and David Sutherland but you're a tad unfair about Doug MacGilivray. Without his immense determination and drive to get us up the leagues I very much doubt we would have got into the spl withing 10 years. Yes the debt almost put us over the edge but remember that a sizeable chunk of the debt was down to the ridiculous and excessive Council planning requirements such as the road etc.

Foran has to go and we must appoint a manager with proven experience who will be able put together a squad capable and ready from the first game to make a concerted challenge for the league. Ritchie was a hero of mine as a player but he should never have been appointed as manager and I don't have any confidence that things would improve next season under his control.

Well done to all the fans who made the effort to attend this match. You gave the team fantastic backing and helped them get over the line with a fine win. Same again for Saturday everyone.

I will be delighted with strip as long as the players are wearing it in the Premiership next season.

I would be astonished if the Board budgeted for a top six finish. They have previously always made prudent budget forecasts and I don't think season will be any different. Happy to be proved wrong if you have anything solid to back up your assumption.

The club does not have an overdraft so there is no pressure coming from the bank. I am sure there will be a sizeable loss this season which will cause the Board some problems but I don't think we are any way near going into adiministration.

It is indeed. Charlie normally steers clear of saying anything controversial in his Courier columns but this comment is very telling.
