I hear that Loch Ness FC have managed to sell over 800 of their new shirts with the Nessies on them. Selling that many of our new home shirts would be a major achievement.

So is the red and black striped top with black shorts etc the third choice kit?

Not a squeak as far as I know. Perhaps you have to ask for one. With no guarantee that the new season will start in October or if it does and matches are behind closed doors, I imagine there won't be a mad rush for season tickets.

A excellent statement from the club. Hopefully most clubs will stick their heads up above the parapet and back it. It's quite amusing to see the Sellick trolls on Twitter thinking it's part of the conspiracy to stop them winning 9 in a row.

Perhaps so and might explain why #OfficialICTFC follows them on Twitter.

I was watching the 2012 Scottish Cup final highlights on BBC Scotland Channel last night, the game when Hearts beat Hibs 5-1. MotM was Ian Black who ran the show for Hearts and Mark Brown was in goal for Hibs. Mark Ridgers was on the bench for Hearts that day. I also remember us playing Hibs the week before the final in Inverness, beating them 2-0 going on 5 or 6.

I always thought he should have been given a player/assistant coach role up here before he was told his services were no longer required.

I really fear that our squad is too threadbare, especially in defence, to be able to sustain the challenge for promotion. Even if we did make it to the play off with second bottom in the Premier we may be embarrassed.

I'm still trying to understand why this venue has been selected and what facilities will be available to those who won't wish to pay £1000 for 10 people for entry to the game, pre-match drink, half time pie & pint, full time stovies and meet the players in the "exclusive hospitality suite". The facilities at Canal Park are excellent for Highland Rugby Club's needs at present and a crowd of 500 to 600. More than that and they are a bit stretched all round, which I know from attending a few of the Highland RFC games this season. Part of that experience also includes being able to drink alcohol before, during and after the game, and outside as well. Will that be allowed for at Ryan's testimonial? I'm sure this aspect will suit a number of our hardy fans. I would hope that at least our regular home crowd will attend to honour Ryan. So 1500-2000 or more will not be catered for by current facilities, unless of course these are to be supplemented by temporary toilets and food and drinks serveries. In addition, there are no seats or a covered grandstand to watch the game from. The only elevated view of the pitch is from the first floor level balcony in front of the bar. Otherwise it's a free for all around the pitch-side barrier on two sides only. More information on the arrangements would be welcome therefore.

Or we get James Keatings masks with captions like "innocent" or "Greg Aitken is a w#nker".

Another trip to Mcdairmid Park for the final then.

Yup, fecked over by the SFA and BBC yet again!! Guaranteed low turn out from away support and I'm not even able watch it live on tv due a long standing commitment to another event that night.

From the highlights I've just viewed of yesterday's game most of the best chances we created fell to White. Sadly he fluffed his lines with all of them. We definitely need a more prolific striker if we are to stand any chance of promotion.

All credible suggestions. These need to be relayed to the Board to consider acting on together with those outlined by the Chairman and CEO at the open meeting last year.

WtF? I can't understand why. Our back garden well up the hill in Scorguie is playable after all the frost. So no scheduled games at home in January. More reasons for folk to get out of the habit of going to watch.

Christophe Berra!!!

Christophe Berra and Craig Wighton from Hearts reserves on loan would be my guess.

If we can get Walsh and Welsh back match fit and playing their best before the end of January they will seem like new signings.

That sums it up for me as well. There were long periods of the game that were pretty gash to be honest. Oh how we could do with a 19 goals striker. We'd probably be a lot closer to the Arabs than 13 points.

Perhaps the players were too busy thinking about their Christmas bash in Dublin, which they set off for after the game. Once they have that out their system here's hoping it's back to winning ways next Saturday.

Yes and a lot of them resident in Inverness and the surrounding area too.

4-3-2-1 formation for me Ridgers Rooney/Mckay, Donaldson, McCarthy, Tremarco Carson, Trafford, Vincent Walsh, Keatings Todorov
