Maybe if we had a Mr McGregor type of character at this club from day one ICT would have had a support to be proud off in terms of numbers and locals who never turned their backs and went elsewhere Jealousy is not a nice trait folks, if I'm being honest I think he is doing a remarkable job at our near neighbours and he certainly seems to get the majority of his community behind his club Dougal

Personally I find it quite galling how the majority of our support still seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Terry Butcher Think its time some of you moved on, Terry is not our concern anymore regardless how he left us or where he went The same posters who are putting the boot into Terry now are the same who were happy clapping him when he was on the payroll 16pages of a thread entitled Butcherwatch is an embarrassment to this forum and to the ICT support Dougal

Eagle you are twenty two years to late to see Caley play in Perth Caley were defeated 3-0 in a Scottish cup tie after a 2-2 draw in the first game in Inverness Anyway congratulations to St Johnstone I'm delighted for my Perth friends I wonder was Davie from caleyjagsforever at the game decked out in his Arab regalia Dougal

Laurence don't think for one minute we are all anti English I think England might do quite well in this World Cup There seems to be far less hype anew expectation on this England team than there usually is and that makes them more dangerous in my opinion A lot of young quality players in their squad and they won't have any fear they could surprise a few nations I reckon Certainly seems to be a few folk who are more anti English than pro Scottish on CTO which is quite sad Dougal

I was concerned the subway logo would look silly due to its colour but it actually goes quite well with those strips certainly looks more at home than the weed below the eagle Both that home tops look good though maybe the TheKarl should email them to the club before they make a bad decision Dougal

Kingsmills you should be used to watching your football in front of paltry crowds as you've done that all your life I don't want to contribute to another merger thread either but it's time the likes of yourself start to wake up and smell the roses Dougal

Very happy with the new sponsor and it's credit to the club that they have attracted a multi national company to be shirt sponsor Surely they will have a subway stall situated within the ground at home games that would certainly add to the matchday experience It would certainly be an improvement on greasy pies and sausage rolls that don't do wonders for the cholesterol levels Dougal

There was an overwhelming stench in the air twenty years ago and although that stench has been somewhat diluted there is still a lingering pong that hasn't disappeared completely Another twenty years at least needs to pass before that air starts clearing Dougal

Found some vintage muppet show action with Tam Cowan and Bannerman Dougal

By freezing the season ticket costs the club appear to be genuinely worried that the interest in season tickets are on the decline or that is the message that's portrayed to me anyway Ok freezing it is a reasonable gesture but a slight decrease in cost would have maybe encouraged the numbers who aren't renewing to rethink or better still recruit some new Could be a little ambitious in thinking they might get 1000 but let's hope so Dougal

You will find various supporters clubs in Inverness but sadly none are ICT? Not sure you could class Caleyjagsforever a supporters club to be honest but I will apologise if that's how they see themselves We have like most towns and cities in Scotland both Orc and Septics but also County,Aberdeen,Manchester Utd even f****** Dundee Draw your conclusions from that but it's a sorry indictment on Invernessians Dougal

Yes that was my understanding as well, sadly it looks like these two temporary eyesores now appear to be all of a sudden permanent fixtures according to the club and a section of the support Let's be honest here they were thrown up with no thought given to the fans in terms of view and atmosphere, ok they are not as unsightly as the two uncovered wings in the main stand but they still are an embarrassment Twenty years ago one of the conditions for league admission was that a new all seated stadium was to be erected, ok it could be argued that it was delivered albeit very loosely but the feeling of being short changed remains with many of us to this day Dougal

Alex I'm not sure if you are deliberately trying to cause unrest this morning or whether you are fishing but do you not think summer football would have been introduced decades ago if it was going to happen? Like I said on the other thread football is a traditional game that's always played through the winter months with the break up in the summer. I'm not adverse to a winters break being introduced which possibly would mean extending the season slightly or introducing more midweek games Most folk enjoy having a summer break from football as they can spend more time with family, gardening and going away on holiday Every second summer there is a euro championship or a World Cup on anyway so people who want it still get their fix Summer football is a no no for me Dougal

What rubbish football is one of the oldest sports started off on grass and that's the way it should remain there is enough of a plastic issue going on already without adding to it by installing an artificial surface Ask any decent player and they would prefer to play on grass no argument If the day comes that top sides start laying these pitches you will see thousands of supporters walk away from the game and never return Artificial pitches what then? Venders going around selling hot dogs and popcorn? Karaoke for pop star wannabes at half time? Scottish football is fast becoming a circus on its own without trying to quicken the process Dougal

Poor Fraz just back from Easter Road in what seems a right foul mood I wonder why that is? Dougal

It's very odd indeed that our pitch has deteriorated so bad this year, could the ground be contaminated? Coming up to near twenty years at the dump I think it's inevitable that the ground has been affected somewhat by sea water and sea air Regardless what the cause is it looks like we will have to completely re turf the pitch in the summer and that can't be done on the cheap Dougal

Sneckboy From what I'm hearing they are solely interested in winning league titles and not into gaining a place in the senior leagues so I guess they would renege the chance for the step up and the place would go to the southern team to battle it out with the bottom league team To be honest I think they are just too far away geographically and they probably realise that themselves I'd imagine they would strengthen again in the summer though so next years Scottish Cup could be interesting to see how far they get Dougal

Maybe Caleyjagsforever could add this topic at their next meeting it's all very well admitting the chants were offensive but without action the problem won't go away A closer working relationship with the club and the authorities should help weed out the troublemakers I blame movies like football factory and green street, school children are easily lead and they think that kind of behaviour is sadly acceptable Dougal

From what I'm hearing the benefactors have a five year plan to see Brora win the Highland League five times in a row which will make them have the longest winning streak of being champions in Highland League history Dougal

I'm afraid our so called support do us no favours even if it is a minority who seem to enjoy anti social behaviour Take Friday night alone we had an arrest before the game when I saw one of our fans handcuffed and carted off in a police car, then we had the sickening chants, followed by the smoke bomb and a fan running on the park when the winner went in Don't think we can gripe on about a drum when some behave like they do, heavy handed stewarding will only get worse due to Friday night Dougal

All those who boycotted should be feeling rather silly now They missed a great game, you follow your team through the bad times as well as the good An important lesson learned I reckon Dougal

These little scrotums should be named shamed and hit with football banning orders Let's face it this is not an isolated incident, we've had the famine song the big jock songs and banners along with all the flares being set off We all need to eradicate this disease that's spreading within our ranks The immortal jungle ender is right we should all shout down these morons or failing that report them to the authorities Dougal

I'm delighted for yogi I know the form of late ain't good to say the least but he has shut up the roasters who never gave him a chance from day one I thoroughly enjoyed the game last night albeit in front of a disgraceful travelling support Caleyjagsforever need to be more proactive there is something far wrong when we can't muster 1000 fans in a local derby Dougal
