Another great awayday despite the nerve wracking final minutes when we dread losing a last minute goal - thank you Mark Ridgers.    Well done to Cammy Harper, a great goal at ‘our’ end - plus points to Alex Samuel who takes a lot of punishment, he must get plenty bruises but never gives up and has the heart our Club needs. Please ICT can we try to keep him?  

I’ll be there, as usual !

Working this Saturday so I'll miss Arbroath game.

I'll watch the Raith Rovers game on TV.

I didn't renew my season ticket, so anyone need a 'friend' to accompany them to the Morton game?

If you pay the Fiver, you can come to the North Stand with me!

Looking forward to another awayday - ICT always seem to play better with our vocal support so, here’s to a really positive result, please. 

Great news indeed.  It never was a yellow.  He’s a great player, not a cheat.  

A big Thank You to the Clubs new Supporters Liaison Officer, Scott Young, who chose a very positive way to meet ICT fans in the away end at Dundee.  Before ko he went along the rows of fans, chatting to all and sundry.  I don’t know if everyone knew who he was but I think it was a great gesture and, well done to him.  

STV news tonight also on about Battery Storage places, apparently this is the immediate future and, more than two dozen already planned or already in action, in Scotland.  Maybe ICT ahead of the game here, but also, I believe Highland Council have plans themselves for Battery Storage.   Wheels within wheels or not enough cash in the envelopes?   There’s more to this!!!  

On the parking issue, on a fine day I park away, legally, from the Stadium and enjoy the craic on the way back to my car and, by then the traffic is easier and the way home is less stressful.   On wet or dire/dreich days I park in the home car park, go early, chose my space carefully (avoiding potholes, puddles etc) and pay my £5 to support ICT Community Trust and the great work Craig and all his associates do, which is largely not advertised.  It’s no great deal to wait in a queue to go home whilst listening to drivel on radio Scotland!

What is with Austin Samuels never getting a kick, surely we have try out all our options, because at the moment we ain't gonna scoring.

Solid at the back, but absolutely no creativity going forward. 

No way - Austin Samuels is not the answer, IMO only

A great away day when no ICT fan really expected 3 points but went in hope of at least 1.   Wow - what a game, from Billy’s goal in 77 seconds, there seemed no way ICT would go home without points.   This is why the ICT Travel Club continue to run buses to away games, these days are a joy and why we are ICT fans.   Thank you to all the players especially those who were “in the wars” and have bruises and stitches (Alex) to prove their endeavours.  I truly hope the injuries sustained today aren’t too serious.  

Yeehaaaa plus lovely day in Greenock

I’m sure whoever gave abuse to Billy’s son was overheard and should be reported to the Club for appropriate action.  There seems an element in our support who think it’s funny to abuse players by singing about their families - Liam Polworth had to suffer such abuse for years.   I’m fair pleased he has had lots success in the Premier League, away from our lowlifes.

Hi everyone,

I attended my first Caley game last weekend on a complete whim as I was visiting close to the area. My hometown is Blackpool and I support Blackpool (I loved seeing Nathan Shaw score that third goal as a product of our academy) but as life has taken me around a bit I now live in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, not far from Leeds. I also follow Pontefract Collieries home and away because of this. 8th tier of English football.

I wanted to join the site to firstly say I really enjoyed the hospitality of your club. We spoke to a few locals around the city before and after the game and they were very welcoming us of foreigners.

Secondly, the football was brilliant. Now, I know I may come in to some criticism for this but it was like watching lower league English football but with an immaculate pitch. However that is EXACTLY what I want to see in a football match.

Lastly, and my only criticism of your wonderful club would be the home atmosphere. I expected booming when the third goal went in last week but it fell flat. Even at 2-0 up it was very quiet. I’d love you to create more of an atmosphere. Get that drum banging and get singing guys!! It’ll make a massive difference to your results!

I’ll be forever keeping my eye out for your results now. Hope you manage to string a few wins together and get up the table.

Come on Caley. Cheers

Welcome - Leeds supporter!  My beloved nephew, sadly deceased, was an avid Leeds supporter (despite living in Nottinghamshire), so I’ve also supported Leeds from afar.   You are welcome here any time and I hope you keep in touch with us ICT supporters.  

Dougal - you are flogging a dead horse.  The days of 1994 are long gone.  Give up, or move to Ross County.

Kevin Clancy is supposed to be a Premier League ref and regularly the VAR expert - well he certainly wasn’t showing any expertise at Arbroath.  He allowed thuggish tackles which caused ICT players injuries.  He missed a studs up on Alex Samuels ankle which should have been a red card.  He missed two hand balls which should have been penalties.  If he had had words early in game re heavy tackles, some of the injuries could have been less serious.  Once again ICT let down by an incompetent referee, plus the linesmen/assistant referees should have gone to spec savers.   Well done Cameron Harper to even out at least some of the anomalies.

After watching the highlights, I don't think we should waste money we don't have appealing the red card.

ICT never seem to get benefit of the doubt but, I think taking off McAllister seemed to take most of the ‘buzz’ out of the team.    Fans dread the time for the subs to be made as the team seem to lose focus - also Doran (on as a sub) then subbed for Udger in extra time?  On to shore up defence in case of a last minute losing goal?  Oh dear, tactics seem odd, but heyho what do I know.  

Jeezypeeps

Once again a very very enjoyable away game - atmosphere first class, away support loud and positive.   That’s why away games are so much more appreciated than at Inverness where atmosphere is nil, any singing is in very distanced groups.  Can we find anyone within ICT (or anyone anywhere) willing to suggest some constructive ideas to replicate the atmosphere within ICT fans who were at Raith today ?     

Personally I disliked the orange strip as soon as I saw it.  I’m no fan of other teams, including those who may have orange connections, but it just didn’t seem to be a likely colour for an ICT strip.  All the other strips, yes, especially the pink one, but except the full black one (when we paid handsomely to have our names thereon, but it seemed unlucky as far as I recall).

Oh dear, does that mean what I think it does?  We are doomed!

From my first ever meeting with the CEO I felt he was looking down on me as just a stupid female fan with no consequence.   I’ve never felt that before and, in my working life of over 35 years with the Police Service, I’ve worked with several Chief Constables and umpteen top senior officers and they never looked down on me.   They treated me as a valued colleague and team member, the same as ICT Board and CEO should treat the fans.  The CEO has no interpersonal skills as far as the fans are concerned, which is his fault.  

Our Club will only improve when the CEO goes back south.   I’m convinced he came to ICT to grind us into the ground, his interpersonal skills are nil.  

Are you implying that Douglas sooks lemons and becomes bitter

I think Todorov's reactions were fair enough given the X-rated dog's abuse he was getting from the choir, and you could argue he was being respectful when he was subbed.

I was up at the back of the stadium and well away from the “choir” so wasn’t aware of the abuse directed at Toddy.   I was surprised at his reaction but now understand it.   Incidentally I was nearly knocked to the ground by two members of the “choir” as they rushed out of the doors after the final whistle, only my walking stick stopped me from falling.
