  1. Quite frightening how things are going Dougal
  2. Ok fair enough I’m quite happy to be corrected. So if we won the appeal how much of the reported 3.4 million we receive installing the battteries goes to pay off debt? Dougal
  3. An appeal is all very good but it will cost considerable money to do so. Let’s hope the money comes out of the same pot that pays Big Duncan’s huge wage. This ain’t going to end well. Dougal
  4. I was wishing the big man well when he arrived but it’s becoming apparently clear he hasn’t a clue what he’s doing? Let’s be honest the marquee manager signing was a smokescreen to take the heat of a very incompetent board to give them time to try and get the battery fiasco pipe dream through. I actually feel sorry for Duncan coming into this mess. Dougal
  5. From what I’m heard in the pub last night the next Apprentice Boys of Derry march in Sneck could well be starting from the Dump’s car park. Anyway how was your night in the Drummossie you rough this morning ? Dougal
  6. Well said Danger all that’s missing is “No-one likes but we don’t care” WATP The similarities between ICT and the old Rangers is uncanny let’s hope we don’t end up in the same predicament. Teuchters trying to act like the old firm is not a good route to go down we are a lot better than that. Dougal
  7. Ok I have maybe mentioned this once or twice before but never ever underestimate the contempt from Invernessians towards ICT some might even call it hatred. I can’t think of any other large town or city in Scotland whose inhabitants do not engage with their local team. This whole Battery fiasco has damaged our reputation further which was already rock bottom after the concert travesty. The email campaign to councillors was also a complete disaster. I’m not saying all emails would have been nonsense but it only takes one or two illiterate halfwits to ruin the whole exercise which certainly seems to have happened here. So the Highland Council are now all of a sudden the bad guys. This would be the same Council who gifted The club 900k to build the dump out of the Inverness common good fund. Short memories eh? Where this leaves us I do not know but the lack of communication from the so called guardians says it all. The Council are not to blame here the incompetent boards past and present are!!!! Dougal
  8. I’m sure there must be at least one copy of “Against all odds” somewhere that hasn’t been burned on the fire or landfilled!! Dougal
  9. I don’t think I said Clach sell more tops than ICT but they most definitely do in the Merkinch . County and Loch Ness Fc on the other hand outsale ICT tenfold. Like you say it would be very interesting to see sales figure etc being released but you know and I know this will never happen it’s just like season ticket numbers it’s like a secret that never gets disclosed! Dougal
  10. You are obviously frequenting the more affluent/middle class areas of Sneck then I would suggest. Working class /communities you are more likely to see County, Clach and other SPL tops. Dougal
  11. The attendance figure given yesterday was 2035!!!!! Ok we have been falsifying the figures now for decades but that has to be the biggest exaggeration yet that’s just embarrassing. Lucky that’s there 1000 there going by that highlights and even that’s being kind. Cue the happy clappers stating that there was constant big queues for pies etc, Season tickets are included if they were there or not patter etc. I very much doubt Mick Dundee(Caley 100) and his entourage going walkabout in the outback made that much a difference somehow. Why can’t the club be honest with the fans even with something so simple in its nature. I know lots of clubs not just ICT do this but what is the point? Baffled. Dougal
  12. Poor Australia At least there will have been less inane ranting at the dump today which is a positive in itself along with another clean sheet. Dougal
  13. Good one Doofersdad I know I’ve had about six or seven pints now and I’m finding pretty much everything funny but that’s a belter Dougal
  14. I’m going to spend the afternoon in the Tarry the glenalbyn and the gellions. Much more welcoming establishments than the dump currently. Dougal
  15. The article in the courier gives an eye watering account what certain communities in Inverness think of ICT. I wouldn’t be surprised there will be more councillors that will voice their opinion now against the clubs proposal directly as a result of this pointless meeting that the so called guardians thought was a good idea. ICT have made firm enemies from the birth whether that being the business world the local authorities or the run of the mill day to day punters. This latest debacle adds to the number of growing dissenters will they ever learn from previous mistakes? I.e the concert fiasco. The answer is NO. Pains me to say this but we are definitely not a community club unlike our neighbours further north. The meeting has backfired badly. Dougal
  16. The so called guardians and a fair number of fans on here should also remember the Highland Council represent the whole of the Highlands not just the city of Inverness. This very blinkered centralised view is not healthy at all. Dougal
  17. This latest revelation is deeply concerning I sincerely hope I’m wrong but this sort of move looks like we are indeed heading for part time football. When you have Forfar fans saying he is possibly the worst player they have ever seen at Station park it’s worrying to say the least. Dougal
  18. I’d agree with you danger all that’s missing is WATP to sign it off. Definitely has a no one likes us but we don’t care kind of sentiment and entitlement to it. The club have alienated itself from many local businesses and now seems to be doing the same with the local authority. A very dangerous route to go down if you ask me. Dougal
  19. Delighted to be proved wrong certainly did not see that one coming. Absolutely over the moon for Billy McKay after last weeks debacle. Dougal
  20. Good point well made Fraz. You know what I find galling is when you walk around Inverness you see more kids wearing County tops than ICT. Old firm tops in Sneck are getting less thankfully but they seem to be getting replaced by County. Dougal
  21. Metallica and appropriately titled Battery Dougal
  22. So what’s the reason this project was abandoned? Surely not that pesky gas pipe which stops us completing the stadium? Dougal
  23. You tell them Private Pyle https://images.app.goo.gl/oX3oicfHQAQmBAje6 Dougal
  24. 3-0 or 3-1 Morton Dougal
  25. You were serially slaughtered and rightly so. All very well back tracking now after it all went pear shaped for you. Typical Journo. Let’s be honest here Chrome Dome you wouldn’t know a football environment if it jumped up and slapped you in the coupon. I’m amazed some so called fans are still that blinkered regarding the financial difficulties ICT are currently in. We are at a crossroads here where part time football may well be forced upon us it might not be an option Einstein. Relegation is a stark possibility this year we are now in March and the future is bleak. Appointing DF has put up a temporary smokescreen and kept the unrest at arms length at present but that will quickly change the longer the current form persists. Going part time would rid the club of the deadwood throughout from top to bottom and it would give us the opportunity to effectively start again. You were the same country bumpkin from memory albeit in a different guise that told me Brora Rangers would never win the highland league and I was proved right then. Be careful what you wish for.
