Fraz

My first home game back after renewing earlier this week. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Seemed to be making genuine efforts at moving the ball forward but we still dither and lose momentum in the final third ending up making too many passes, slowing it down and giving the opponents time to organise. Some absolutely shocking and quite frankly bizarre decisions from officials. I don't blame Ferguson for being irate and I don't see how he deserved 2 yellows. Ref trying to make a name for himself I assume. Beautiful day to be back, see friends I've missed and got a win. Happy days (aside from not getting Oasis tickets )

Indeed. Yvonne Crook was a disaster of a CEO also.

It's been at least a decade since that was really a 'family section' folks kids grew up and apparently people complained they didn't want to move seats so over time it bacame no different than any other general area. I've asked the club numerous times over that last few years about creating and having a clear 'singing/standing section' for the more boisterous and vocal fans. That way they have a clear space and others can avoid if that's not something they want near them. Recently they had been congregating at the front of Section E when then causes issues for those behind who are forced to stand up or move elsewhere. Of course in typical fashion the club never replied or did anything. Apart from I suppose the attempt in the West Stand, which in true Gardiner fashion failed without so much as a whimper or explanation.

They also state: "Anyone arriving at the stadium under the influence of alcohol, or any other substances, will not be admitted to the stadium and again may face arrest." Therefore anyone who's been at the pub before or in the stadium bar or Boardroom having a couple of drinks can expect to be refused entry/ejected and possibly arrested?

Been taking my girls to the north stand from when my eldest was 8 weeks, they're now 10 and 13. They've never once been frightened. No offence but it's a football game not the panto at Eden Court. We have one of the most laid back supports going.

Shop like a billionaire. Even though you aren't. Sounds like Gardiner.

Probably playing sweeper.

WTF?

Here's hoping!

Anyone check the boot of Gardiner's car as he left?

For context if you're not familiar ( and well worth a watch if you haven't).

The only watertight contracts that the club seem to be capable of making are those that tie incompetent failures to us for years no matter how pathetic their performance is.

There's certainly not just one man to blame for the omnishambles that is ICT.

When you go to the circus you have to be able to laugh at the clowns.

Thank goodness we signed a defender and not an attacking player. #Duncball4Lief

No changes any time soon according to the prospective new boss. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/ketan-makwana-says-no-changes-at-the-top-for-caley-thistle-u-357528/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

Nothing I can think of. No project he's been involved with has been successful that I can recall and by virtually any metric things have deteriorated on and off the pitch over his tenure. Has anything improved since he arrived? Nothing except his business' bank balance and his ego. Of course, it's not only Gardiner's incompetence in the mix, others have contributed.

Did Morrison not say on The Wyness Shuffle that Ferguson took a 'significant' pay cut? Of course if the rumoured £4k a week in the Championship was anywhere near accurate, even if he took a 50% cut he'd still be on a ridiculous £100k + a year for a league 1 manager.

Who knows, not like the club will ever say. Surely they either have to honour the preordered strips or refund? At the very least any half way competent management would at least keep the paying customers apprised?

Have the new home strips arrived? They were supposed to be sent to pre ordered folk by the 3rd week in July. Seems they have shelved the new away one after saying it was coming soon. Apprentice Boys away for another season then?

Trust the process STFU! Trust the lawyers, they will save us in their due diligence! The Supporter's Trust can push for whatever but most likely the club will do what it always has done and remain incommunicado. They don't want a dialogue here they just want it done so they can GTFO. Fans (as they have been for several years now) are just an irritation.

I'm sure the in house interview with Ketan will be probing and ask all the hard questions fans want answers to.

In Australia. Pretty much on brand for our level of business acumen. He'll fit right in.

Based on the decisions the board / CEO have made over the last half decade, and the position Seventy7 seem to have as a business, you're surprised fans are skeptical?
