At the weekend the U14 Blues defeated Hamilton Accies in the Semi final of the Scottish Challenge Cup in a 4-1 win. They will meet Dundee Utd in the final at Ochilview Park on November 15th. Fantastic achievement to get to the final from 198 teams from across Scotland.

North Kessock Thistle. Sure they've got an initial buzz now off the old Thistle name but it remains to be seen what longevity they will have.

The ICT girls ran out 2-1 victors and will play the semi final in November! 😁 Added bonus of watching my younger daughter put a few past County in the U12 festival earlier in the day too 👌

If you're at a loss tomorrow afternoon as we're away, the U14 Blues have fantastically reached the quarter finals of the Challenge Cup (their Scottish Cup) from 198 teams. Any support greatly appreciated, 2.05pm at Millburn Academy astro.

My younger daughter is playing for the U12s today also, hope they have a good day!

The ICT U14s won their qualifying group with Jeanfield Swifts, Bayside and Ross County and in the semi final beat Dundee Utd. The final ended 1-1 against locals Falkirk and unfortunately the girls lost out on a penalty shootout.

Thing is, at least from what the supporters trust are providing you're not paying over the odds by any comparable metric. If you can't afford a pint then that's a shame but that doesn't mean that it's overpriced. I don't understand what your employer has to do with it 🤷‍♂️

He certainly has the staunch credentials.

Pretty sure the club shop has some DVDs. Could drop them an email, I hope to pop past next week for something so could check for you.

Getting another club relegated probably.

Great result and reaction after last week's game. Credit to the players and fantastic to see Bavidge scoring on his debut. Bar before and after game was busy but service was quick and took card payments without a hold up. What difference from a few months ago ago when it was deemed from the club not worth opening.

Sorry, it was under his stewardship that we got into an untenable position spending left and right on 'big name' managers, Sports Director and an impotent CEO. Plus reducing income from hospitality, bar and other commercial ventures. Should he not have implemented belt tightening measures and some reliable means to generate income rather than gambling on concerts, battery farms and park and rides etc without any assurance they would succeed? Quite frankly any 'businessman' putting money into to a club our size and expecting a return is naive at best.

I assume that AS did attempt that and all but announced that an agreement had been reached with RM et al, however that seemed to collapse. I that left little choice. I doubt AS was desperate to spend hundreds of thousands if it could be avoided. However I do get the distinct impression that AS does not want to give any of his money to those who put the club in this precarious situation and would rather things were cleared out through a legal process. With the amount of BS and mismanagement going on behind the scenes at the club at CEO / board level it probably needed to happen.

Well, I've just spent over £150 on hospitality so I'm sure Red Poppy will get a reasonable share of that. Not sure the kids would be enamoured with a D&E gift card 🤣

I'd certainly be more keen to contribute to the crowd fund if I knew it would be used to help pay off local businesses we owe money to rather than the pillocks who got us into this position.

I never said I read (or understood) it! 🤣

Shout out to the U14 ICTWFC Reds who were crowned champions of the Rachel McLauchlan North League today, after a 3-1 win in a play-off with Forres. 🏆🔵🔴🔵😁

Good win and a special congratulations to Freya Soden who made her 1st team debut at only 15.

I'm sure he'll make them the commercial powerhouse that he did with us. 💪

It's an interesting question. The issue that we didn't let Hughes go to DU is one that that I can understand why people consider. However I think that if we did let him go and things still went pear shaped, people would be looking back and asking 'why did we not do more to keep him!'. In my view Hughes was the person who was in the wrong in that situation. Foran as manager was a mistake and KC has admitted as much. I said to him myself that I felt it was too soon for him and it would have been better to have him as assistant to a more experienced manager. As a club we've made poor decisions but usually balance them out by making good ones too. It seems that all we've done since signing Robertson as manager (not a bad decision but keeping him as DOF was) has been one bad decision after another taking an administration event to force change. To answer the question, in recent history I would say the decision to make Graeme Rae chairman. Without that we don't end up with clueless Yvonne Crook and then of course he brings in the man himself Scot Gardiner and the massive list of terrible decisions and unchecked consistent failure for over half a decade.

Good lord I wish some of that crowdfunding could be used to buy a camera that's above 360p and has an optical zoom.
