I remember sitting in a Glasgow bar that night feeling quite depressed despite what we’d just achieved - I thought this was it, the pinnacle of our achievements, the best we could probably ever be and it would never be quite as good again.

It would have been no surprise to anyone if we didn’t win a major trophy for another decade, or flirt with relegation to the Championship a few times like County, however, I could never have dreamed that we could fall from grace so far, so quickly and so easily. In essence eventually ruined by one selfish, inept and incompetent idiot while others we trusted with the safe running of our club turned their heads the other way.

Ross Morrison has to accept responsibility for his part in allowing Gardiner the freedom to cause so much pain and damage. The evidence is overwhelming, you have an opportunity Ross to take the first steps in putting things right, sack Gardiner now!

No further delays or excuses, just get on with it and maybe you’ll find you come out of this in a far better place than where you find yourself today.

Drastic action is needed: getting rid of Gardiner is not enough.  We need people in there and throughout the club who seek the best interests of ICT and nothing else 

We are miles away from that just now.

It was great to see so many people there and I agreed with the vast majority of comments. One fan in particular who stepped up to the mic being particularly passionate, witty & eloquent.

However, we’ve been completely done by the board. Deal agreed weeks ago, announced after the season end to stop any protests at the games. In such a short timeframe I can’t see how anyone can stop the move to Kelty. It’s going to happen. We are moving to Fife. Just insane.

Yup.......................the more I think it over, the more I reckon there is some ulterior motive : dread to think what.

The club is not being run with any consideration for the fans : those in charge seem to be doing their own thing for whatever purpose. The pattern has been there for a number of years : appointment of management / officials etc who have no affiliation to the club.

There seems to be an attempt being made to take Inverness out of ICT.

Even Clach were taking the **** over it. Scot and Co. have created a colossal cockup and deserve to be pelted by every book in the library

 

The HFA is a joint venture by ICT and County anyway, the fact the boys on the board are whinging about the lack of facilities is a load of bollocks, and just feels like one massive, petty move trying to slag off the Highland Clowncil's dragging heels on the battery farm

By all means pursue the battery farm but not on the back of ICT. Should be a completely different company that deals with this matter and if it works out, by all means use funds to benefit the club through investment.

Robbo thinks it's a mistake too:

Wouldn't listen to him after his p**s over the last few years (can't be a***d checking over what period).....

Considering the recent statement contains:

"the club's First Team Management feel we give ourselves the best possible chance to attract the highest quality players"

I would assume that Ferguson is staying. 

All in all, one complete and utter sh1tsh0w..........................

Went to a few matches towards the end of the season :

• No apparent urgency considering our increasingly perilous position.
• Clueless going forward : no idea what to do from 30 yards in.
• No fight. A glaring example was Hamilton's second goal in the first leg : there were four or 5 ICT defenders around the 6 yard box and none of them jumped or made any effort to attack the ball, watching the Hamilton player as he scored with no challenge.
• No shape / plan / leader.
• Team made up of individuals and it showed horribly.

Truly truly awful : we need people in charge who have a passion for the club as we did in our first 20 years.

One day soon I hope to wake up and find this has all been no more than a nightmare................................

We need a complete clear out from top to bottom. 

The current incumbents seem not to care about the club.

The only way we are going if nothing changes is even further down.

Almost 10 years of decline: Almost back to where we started.

Was driving home and was thinking how on earth have we fallen so low in standards.We are struggling to stay in the championship and we play and look like a first division team.

Today should have been high tempo,slick passing and exciting football.When you rely on  a 1-0 score and hope you can keep the other team out,it is a very risky strategy.IF  we survive in this league,serious questions need asked about how we have become so poor.

Every time I have gone to an ICT match over the past several seasons, I ask exactly the same question...

No-one at the club seems to want to do anything about it.

We were down last night and we all reckon its part of a secret - even to Duncan-  masterplan - pretend we are crap then score four on Saturday.   Toughest watch in a long long time.  

Really??

I have been to quite a number of away matches over the past few seasons: win, draw or lose, I can't remember a match when a decent standard of football was on offer.

As has been the case for years, no entertainment. 

Until there is a complete change in mindset,  nothing is going to change. 

The great work and results over the first 20 years of our history us a distant  distant memory. Ferguson seems to be clueless.

53/47 possession - 15 shots, 6 on target and 2 blocked, 8 corners and a missed penalty. Sounds like we were under the cosh and the tactics were all wrong.

'Tactics'..........seriously??

We have become an embarrassment. 

3 points a must tomorrow with tonight's result...

Realistically 8th will be fine but if we can convert draws into wins, I haven't given up hoope on 4th.

It's going to be difficult to avoid play offs.

As others say, the club is going backwards with no sign of any desire from the top for anything to change.

Desperate and depressing times.

There are problems and concerns, but come on, you seem to have forgotten that only last season we beat 2 Premiership sides on our way to the final where we put in a very competitive performance against Celtic.

My main concern is our very, very poor home form (it's been like that for a number of seasons). Until we sort that out, we'll continue our downward trend.

I'd like to feel more positive......................

The club seem to be on a continuing descent. A similar cup tie 20 years ago would have been a competitive affair with ICT giving as good as they got.

Our first 20 years were a more or less continuous upward progression where everyone from top to bottom of the club were in it together....................we now seem to be in reverse and if nothing changes, we'll be back in the bottom division in another 5 to 10 years.....

Truly awful.

I have given up hope for this season.

Just hope we can muster enough points to avoid the play offs : really can't believe I am saying that. It'll soon be 10 years since we won the cup and finished 3rd in the Premiership....

Utterly depressing.

it's good to see results improving. was at the match and clearly we were very lucky to be one to the good at half time. For the first 20 minutes or so of the second half we played some great football and all but went 2 up. We then seemed to just sit back (really don't know why) and invited Dunfermline to score and at the end were lucky not to lose. 

Noticeable even though we are undefeated under Duncan, our performances seem to drop off the longer the match goes on. We need to fix that quick.

From what I have heard, I am really hoping the board are working on getting Wotherspoon's contract extended until at least the end of the season.......

Looking forward to going to East End Park on Saturday.....

All sounds very positive!!

Even thinking about going back to the matches.............

Thats so easily solved so that does not need to be used as an excuse . Get rid of our useless non speaking scot Gardiner and also the elusive John Robertson . That money would more then likely pay of Dodds contract and also go towards a coach that actually  knows how to coach . . 

Agreed : awful to watch a once great club being run by people who seem not to care and worse have zero accountability.

Gone are the days when fans, the management / owners and players worked together with only the club's success in their mind...

Long, long gone.

He can fek off to county or anyone else that has money to burn . We certainly don’t have money to waste on him or ceo . 

Apparently Dodds is on a 2 year contract (surprise surprise!!!!!), so I guess we can't afford to give him the boot.....................

No excuses on the Robbo front though : also believe he can be seen watching the odd shinty match...........

We need to get back to when we seemed to be able to pick up out of contract guys mainly down south who more often than not seemed to gel with each other and turned that into a winning mentality. Not quite sure what the current team train at in between matches...

A genuinely mortifying performance. You think it can't get any worse but every week we sink deeper into the mire. Big trouble folks.

.....and those in charge don't seem to give a f**k. No apparent interest in getting us back to where we should be. 

We are a totally different club from only a few years ago
