Kingsmills

He's from Hibs reserves via Blyth Spartans..

That would be because it's the new strip and the only home strip on sale.

Although it was a win, I fear we are in for much of the same frustrating football that we witnessed in the second half of last season with many of the same frustrating consequences.

Don't quite understand the attempt at secrecy.

Lewis Horner apparently. Midfielder most recently of Blyth Spartans. Spent a couple of seasons at Hibs but only made a couple of appearances in the first team spending most of his time at Easter Road on loan to East Stirling.

So the consensus so far seems to be largely underwhelmed...

Any light shed yet on the identity of said trialist ?

Who precisely apart from some agitating journalists predicted that the English team was going to get booed ? That was never going to happen. One man's merciless caricaturing is another man's wry humour and the ability of an increasingly confident nation to be able to self deprecate.

A good effort but, in my view, like most such ceremonies, went on about an hour too long.

Agreed. Not quite as bad as the last one but another top that is more redolent of Rangers than ourselves. Replacing that white stripe with a black one would have made all the difference.

Any idea who the trialist was ?

The players will be wearing them on Sunday.

I never realised there was an identity crisis regarding the club and how it is perceived by our own fans on what other football fans think about the club. Never realised we were a joke club either considering what the club has achieved in its short history. We have earned respect from a lot of people involved in football and from supporters from other clubs. I been away from the site for a few months and what's changed?. Have the Dingle County supporters and the 'flat earthers' got folks this rattled over the club's identity? I wear the ICT colours with pride, f**k 'em. Am takin it your not the same snafu thats all over every rangers thread on pie and bovril Is that relevant ?

Agree. Almost everybody I know with no connections to Inverness refers to us as merely Inverness.

You mean you hope we might win some Highland League titles and the odd Qualifying and North of Scotland Cup ?

Or in tribute to the Glasgow side that went out of business a few years back.

How would old Caley fans feel if our home strips were red and black vertical stripes ? I suspect they would feel that was wrong and inappropriate. Well, our home strip being solid blue is no less wrong and inappropriate.

They may be old fashioned but they reflect our unique joint heritage.

Makes it no less likely we will be wearing a kit that is yet to leave Italy.

I know that we are small fry to Errea compared to a lot of their more significant lucrative contracts but they really do now seem to be treating the club and the fans with contempt and disdain. Time to look for another supplier ?

In that case, if everyone, including the very worthy charity, is a winner then it's not just a cheap marketing stunt.

As you say, might have been a decent signing a few years ago. These days we would probably be better of with Harry Gow..

A right back or a centre back would be a desirable luxury but should take second place to recruiting a forward which is a necessity.

Because all the others meet the necessary criteria to enter the first round proper.

Thanks for the updates.
