I agree with Huiseans post but, for fans there is the enjoyment factor of supporting our team.   At Raith, I and a quite a few others chose our seats, up high, away from the sun, good view of the whole pitch.   Then the young fans arrived, around us.  Good, plenty atmosphere, craic ok.  Until the flares - not thrown (could be identified on cctv) so just put on rows around us.  Choking.   I found a Covid mask and put it on.  It is unbelievable to see the colour from the flare which came out of my lungs into the inside of the mask.  Please, please, these flares are damaging lungs and people’s health.  I can show the mask.   I enjoy the craic, the singing, but it’s a shame that I now have to ensure I have a mask to help my health if I’m around our young fans.  Strange days indeed, following ICT.  

Now the North Stand closed so we have to move into Main Stand - not happy

To summarise - Make a financial repayment deal with Dodds - Sell Robertson to the BBC - bring in somebody already on a wage - snuffle some dough as we have always done - watch the players return and improve as the dressing room damage repairs - be happy with any safe place this season - and regroup.

Well said Oh Wise One Johndo.  I totally agree.  

I was told that Ryan Esson has more training tickets than Dodds, Kells and Wilson together, not just goalkeeping but all players,  and he’s doing a great job with the under 18s.  Could he and Ross Tokely not do a better job between now and the end of the season, given the chance (if they want to), than the aforementioned three.   

Just a thought! 

I can’t recall ever being so disappointed in ICT after witnessing that game last night.  The team really were not set up to win, or even try.   Such a poor showing, I think Ryan Esson did a much better job at Hamilton with the under 18s.   The players seem, demotivated and Dodds must stop using injuries as his excuse - it’s his job to encourage, motivate, etc not berate them which he does regularly.  

Incidentally that thug Brian Graham showed his so called class with his gestures to the away fans.  No wonder he’s disliked. 

Well, we travelled and not long home.  The young team did extremely well and unlucky not to get a goal.  A reasonable away support, despite what the Club said (badly worded) and it seemed quite a few family and friends travelled.  It was a better game to watch than last week!   Many congratulations to them all 

It’s been confirmed that the Travel Club will still run the bus to Hamilton this Saturday for the Cup Tie despite the Clubs statement regarding the team being mostly the younger players.   We.must  and will support them, they’ll give their very best and we will be there to cheer them on

How can you call someone misinformed and then confirm that what they said was correct and a window was damaged? 

There’s a difference between ‘smashed’ and minimal damage.    

Wyness - you were misinformed - a window of the supporters bus was minimally damaged whilst carrying out a traffic manoeuvre in a very tight area.   That’s how rumours start - from exaggeration.  The damage was so slight the bus was able to continue its journey - if smashed that would not have been possible.  Check facts please. 

The Stadium used to be a happy place with long term employees - what’s happening now is very unsettling for fans and likely the remaining staff. 

First time I actually met Keith was at the ‘Meet and Greet’ event recently for fans who had paid out monies to sponsor players over the Covid period, without any actual recognition from the club.   He was a genial host, friendly to all, players and fans, and made it a really good informal night.   I am sorry if it seems he has been made the fall guy in regard to the Concerts - there are many others who should accept responsibility and I wish Keith every success wherever he goes, hoping he is treated fairly in future.  I do hope he hasn’t left with any bad feelings for the ICT fans who appreciate his endeavours.  

Looking forward to the craic today - with D Ross running the line and Iain Vigurs in Cove team.

Without doubt Fake fake news 

 

No sign of the poll so likely to be fake.

For many years I have sponsored an ICT player.  Firstly goalies gloves, until they spat on them!, then boots - hoping for these boots to score ICT goals.  Unfortunately this past season ICT player sponsors have been unacknowledged,  ignored, considered unworthy despite paying £££S.    Not even a letter or email to say what the current situation is.  As a supporter since childhood of Caley, then ICT, I find this non-communication more than disappointing.  Does this mean ICT don’t want us, ordinary supporters, to sponsor players in the next season?   What do other sponsors think, or have they had communication? 

 Our

Clach is always a good night and, joy of joys, the Trawler Restaurant in Golspie for great food before meeting Brora on Saturday 2nd July.   A happy fan.  

Thank you for compiling the votes.   Shane Sutherland a worthy winner and I do hope he recovers well from that dreadful injury.    Also well done to Willie Collum, the absolute winner of being the worst ever referee all season.

Do you mean smoke bombs or flares?

What’s the difference?  I know that when one of whichever it was was set off downwind of us, it was so choking we used our  face masks to breathe until it cleared.  Not nice for anyone with a bad chest or asthma.  

It’s now the time of year for the Club to send out letters regarding Season Tickets and then letters about Sponsorship.  However, despite after all the restrictions due to Covid, hospitality returned a while ago and still no thank you to those of us who, year after year, pay hundreds to sponsor a player or players.  Why has the Club not had a Sponsors Night, even a tea and sandwiches, meet their sponsored player and get a photo?   I know of quite a few who, disappointed in the Club, are considering not sponsoring again.   It’s the Clubs loss - they are happy to ask for money but with no acknowledgement to these fans.   

Great idea.   I , and so many others, have many memories of Telford Street and all the fine young men who played for the shirt on that turf.   By a very strange coincidence, in chat, did I meet up on Monday eve, on bus to/from St J , two great stalwarts from our days there.  Such a small world indeed, in football.   

Please phone the number ASAP to book your seat on the bus.  If you delay, the three buses are filling up quickly.

Is there still spaces available?

Contact details given in the post - either phone or go on Facebook and ask. 

Well done and congratulations to all.   Well deserved accolades.  

That pink strip really is lucky!!   Great way to spend a Friday evening - atmosphere at the end was great.
