Anyone know why game started so late yesterday? 

Ref's radio wasn't working apparently. 

I'm trying to think of someone I dislike enough to suggest this offer to.

Of course I am swayed by the memories of Dunc the toffee and I know that his fighting spirit will never die. I could argue and argue on here but to me this is NOT the team that Dunc wanted it was more about staying within unbelievable budget restrictions. And who do we have to go "direct" FFS ?? We dont play pretty football - we simply do not have any particular individual who can turn a game.  Lets face it this team are the worst in our history and our only escape route is the dogs of war mentality.

 

I thought that's what he would be instilling but it certainly doesn't appear so from what I've watched. Also why would he be trying to foster a 'dogs of war mentality' when he feels we are, I quote 'excellent' and 'brilliant' according to him?

I can only surmise that he is quite happy that the team is playing the way he wants, even if we lose/drop points. He seems completely unmoved but the urgency of the situation and how precarious things are not just for this season and relegation but for the future of our club. 

I wasn't hugely enamoured by his signing as I didn't see what he was bringing to the club for a 3 year deal. Limited managerial experience for a club our size, little knowledge or experience of Scottish football and a poor managerial track record. Just seemed to be on the back of his 'fame' and being someone Scot Gardiner would love to parade around. However I was happy to give him a chance as I am with all new players and managers but there's nothing I've seen to indicate a battling, seige mentality I thought he might bring, just ponderous, one dimensional football and referee blaming. 

Another masterstroke from our illustrious CEO. 

I get the impression that we should just be grateful that someone of his renown had decided to come up to our backwater. Poor results are just a minor inconvenience.

WTF. What a bizarre load of tripe. Must be getting interview tips from Richie Foran. 

Probably Clach if I wanted a football fix, more than likely I'd just do something else entirely. 

Good to see that the ICT Social Club is a place that ICT fans want to frequent once more and not just a surrogate for the Portland Club. 

He got the job off the back of his name and 'fame'. The type of football he seems to want us to play (thank God I missed the game yesterday) we don't have the players capable of executing. It's also utterly mind numbing to watch. We keep hearing to 'get behind the team' but FFS it's an uphill struggle as we've not won in 4 months and what we do see at home is utter dross.

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

Nope, had to get up early to take my dad to mass.

And it's an event being run by our CEO.

Staunch Gardiner. Surprised he didn't give them an honour guard and a parade at half time with a flute band.

Are you suggesting that SG has control over the decisions made by the police? Or that the police lift people because of the opinions they express regarding the competence of football club officials?

He does have previous, recently getting stewards to move in to stop an individual speaking (in a friendly way) to players, so it's not that big a stretch for him to have a word with the match commander (or whatever we have). 

No chance this will get passed I assume #greenspace

Never mind this pish we should be investing in fusion power and warp drive! 

Friday night games are great under the floodlights for me personally. Gives me most of Saturday to get on with other things after I finish coaching in the morning.

In modern day language if someone condones abuse does that make them complicit?

Considering how much the Tories have abused people in the UK I couldn't care less. 

Not even remotely in the ball park of an innocent child being harassed because his dad kicked a ball wrong. 

Don't think I'd be losing any sleep around a Tory linesman getting pelters tbh

Ferguson really is awful in front of the camera.  Making light of the situation while laughing and smiling away without a care in the world.  His apparent disconnect from how poor we are is worse than Dodds.  Are we adding something to the water at the stadium?

Well to quote 'we never created much' then later 'I was pleased with all the players' so he's pleased we never created much?

Also wondering what happened to the physical cash that was taken in the bucket collection for it? Obviously not practical to return it

With the West Stand now being abandoned will the club finally designate an official singing/standing section? This way those who want to will know where it is and those who don't want to can (or will have no choice but to) move their season ticket seats.

ICT and sevco’s close friendship must suit you nicely give you a chance to air your old Union Jack

What are you on about?

You're entertaining and quite good at getting the bites. I'll give you that

Sorry paisley I genuinely respect you but I won’t let it go I will take this one to my grave and nothing will change me even over exuberant moderating on here!

I never picked the name the board did. I think it should have been Inverness United or city or plain Inverness. 
When you have more County fans that have an IV post code than ICT fans then there is something fundamentally wrong with the DNA.

Why wouldn't County fans have an IV postcode?

Afraid many of the lemmings have a very short memory when it comes to the Council. 
 

Correct me if I’m wrong but did the local authority not gift us 900k from the Inverness Common Good fund to push the merger through this was deemed ok but now the council are the bad guys because they are rightly hesitant in making any rash decisions regarding this battery debacle. 
 

Some posters on here need to think before they post.

Almost like people may have a different opinion regarding two totally different situations 30 years apart. Weird eh?

Absolute madness to want to drop to League 1 for 'reboot'. 

Part time football would be an almost certainty if that happened. That said we can't even beat a PT team with our plucky band of loanees. 

Fear not though, Gardiner will have a plan. Like the concerts, or the freeport or the battery farm!

Probably as I have just lost interest to an extent.

Partly down to me as the product / entertainment on offer is poor. 

Partly down to not liking the way the club is run.

To summarise, ICT is not as appealing to me anymore for various reasons.

I've no clue who you are, but this is a sentiment I've heard echoed from many long time supporters, and a feeling I've had myself over the past few years. 

Yet I persist, as some other do, often against my better judgement. The one thing that keeps me going is the people I spend time with while I'm at the game, be it family I take or friends I meet there.
