Slow down on the Fraser bashing guys. If you have to do it then go start a new topic, this one is reserved for Brewster bashing!

What exactly was unprofessional about John Rankin? He has always been held up as the model professional in terms of his workrate in training and dedication to fitness.

jhfghkl kh kh hks jkfkdljf wlfe ljr;lwj? Alls well with me.

Get a taxi, wont cost more than a couple of quid each sharing.

Quite bizarrely the price of Kilmarnock to win todays game with the high street bookies drifted from 10/11 out to 13/8 at lunchtime, with ICT coming into 6/5 favorites! There will normally be 2 or 3 price changes in an entire weeks worth of football and never as big as these, somebody punting somewhere got the result today very very wrong. :029:

"They are allowed to voice their opinions." - Craig Brewster on the fans of ICT Resignation please!

Lets hope so Johndo :011:

WHEN WE WERE CHAMPIONS. I'd love for those saying relegation wouldnt be so bad to have a look at this again to remind themselves just what it meant to everybody that day. I've just watched the Caley - Saints game where the home crowd were over the moon about a fighting 2-2 draw against the big team from down south, to 10 years on passing them with ease in the league ladder infront of another record attendance. with a trophy to prove our worth. It only took 12 years :017:

:rotflmao:

No need for all that Charles, its football. You'd think we were asking you to spill the beans on Litvinenko's murder :015: I think its best you dont post much more on this topic and indeed itd be fair for us not to continue drawing you out. You have your petty reasons for being an ICT pet, I cant respect them in the slightest but then its your path so I'll leave it at that.

How many goals have Rankin and Wyness scored this season? :029:

I suppose the name in my comment could been interchangeable with any local journalists, the question was just asked about any that use this site. I suppose what forresjags was really asking is there a local reporter who is in tune with the supporters frustrations atm, on or off this page. I didnt go as far as accusing Bannerman of being an ICT spin doctor (ICT could really use one I have to say!) but was more along the lines of what you have posted yourself Scotty, he has no option but to show restraint. I would hope he gets personally frustrated by having to toe the party line in order to be given any kind of audience but I've never picked up on anything other than arrogance via this website. From the rest of what youve said there Scotty and from what we read locally, it would appear the local media are as soft a touch as us supporters are, its in their interests to be. A sad state of affairs, if ICT were in the central belt youd never see such weakness from all parties, maybe we are too isolated in Inverness afterall.

Well theres Charles Bannerman who reports for sportsound, though its been long established he only asks questions he's supposed to ask for fear of... well I'm not sure what hes in fear of but its not within his interests to be pissing the club off. Another YES man. Dont think we have anymore on the site, certainly if there is then theyre shy about it His spin on this post will be- 'Theres nothing wrong, we're just experiencing a downturn in form, so theres nothing to report on. Wyness genuinely does have a family issue elsewhere, he wasnt offered a contract last week, no conspiracy so why should I ask any difficult questions?' ..followed with an attempt to patronise anybody who questions his journalistic integrity or reading of a situation, which will as always reflect more on himself than anybody else, leaving all parties feeling smug about themselves.

Nicolae was top notch in the spell youre talking about IHE, his dive at Tynecastle won us the game :clapping03:

What a bloody joke. Whose club is this anyway? Like I said in my other topic we are being taken for a ride because we are letting them. Dennis and Bayne will easily find new clubs, maybe even in the SPL, if they do both end up leaving then I wish them total success wherever they end up, as I did with Rankin.

Well if he hasnt signed the deal then shouldnt it be withdrawn? :004:

Youll found out next season if youre still sat beside drunken and abusive away fans in hospitality next year. Good luck with it :017:

So what do we do about 'it' ? I've not been using this site much over the past 2-3 weeks before this weekend but I am already BORED of reading about the problems within the club. I'm bored of reading everybodies preferred line ups that will never materialise on the park, I'm bored of the Russel Duncan 'un noticed work' brigade (there a reason its unnoticed), I'm bored of the brat pack moaning about flags and banners they think will turn us into Galatasaray, I'm bored of hearing about ticket prices, the division one glory days, Mike Smith, the internal politics and the Marius apologists.... Why am I bored of all of this? Because its all so blatantly obvious that something is wrong at all levels of the club that its almost not even worth talking about, what nobody is asking on here is who is going to change things and when will it happen. What is clear from this site and on the terraces is that ICT fans are great at moaning, bitching or turning a blind eye but sh1te at making their voices heard. Theres even sections of support on here trying to make a case for relegation FFS! Is that what its come to for ICT fans? Preparing ourselves for whatever the worst possible direction the board can take us? So whats the solution? Voting with our feet? What other power does a fan have these days? Chairmen all over the country would gladly drag a club through the gutter if the punters are willing to pay their way into a ground before making their voices heard. The supporters trust will ultimately prove to be toothless. as the issue the majority of this site and those paying their way into TCS every week is far too big for them. IMO the way certain sections of our support are treated in comparison to away fans committing the same offenses and their attitude to Old Firm fans sharing the home end reflects directly on their credibility to represent the fans over anything. I've all the faith in the world they will manage their finances and PR perfectly but when it comes to putting supporters first theres too much ground given to those within the boardroom. All thats left for fans to do is to not pay their money every week, for those with season tickets to make their feelings known within the ground and hope the hit to our clubs pockets gets noticed and the lifeblood of ICT can finally earn some respect. What chance this will happen though? We all know none at all, perhaps one day when the club is really in danger of going under, I feel everybodies anger right now is in pre-emptive frustration of the inevitable relegation struggle next season and the collapse to part time football, where the club will be starved of the income it needs to sustain any kind of quality or presence within the game. Right now the power within the Club-Supporters relationship is horribly out of balance against the fans, we're being treated like bloody idiots. So what can be done in reality? If the answer is nothing or 'lets wait and see' .. whining is serving no purpose if its not going to be actioned upon by us supporters. If taking any kind of protest action all sounds a bit much then maybe there isnt anything wrong, or indeed the reality of the situation isnt as bad as it all seems written down? What is sadly the truth, regardless of what happens over the summer, is we will continue to have no respect or voice within the club. One day the situation will arise that requires extreme action on our part, as things stand the club do not think its possible, we would never be taken for granted otherwise, I just hope when the time comes for us to step up and be counted we're brave enough to do so.

I hope by the time I wake up somebody will have posted why it would be a bad thing, so I dont have to.

To be honest Blackieforce I think most of us would do the same :015:

Why are so many of you so sure Caley wouldve stopped at the Second Division? Ross County didnt with Mcgregors cash and arent again this year without it, I'm sure Caledonian FC wouldve risen to the level of Clyde, Queen of the South, Airdrie, Raith, County and the Binos, with the odd season like Hamilton are having thrown in once a lifetime.

Russel Duncan can f**k off to wherever he wants :022:

:023:

I think a sole Caledonian bid wouldve produced a SFL team a bit bigger than Alloa or Arbroath, theyd probably be around Ross Countys current level, that is a full time club going nowhere.

I'd rather we didnt even offer him one and said best of luck :sillywave:
