  1. Kerr easily my POM. Gave everything in midfield - and won most of it too! Felt like McAllister was trying too hard to impress and as a result kept giving away possession. Don't doubt his ability, just need a cool and composed head in midfield right now, not one who tries for the matchwinner every time he gets the ball. Think it would have helped if he'd someone guiding him a bit. Samuel is some fighter. Immense - but relied on him for lead-up play and he barely (ever??) got a touch inside the box. Would sign him in a flash if an option, but sadly suspect that he'll get much better options than us in the summer. Billy Mckay cost us the win? Nope, and I'm appalled that anyone says as much, and even more disgusted if they directed it to his family. Amazing goal line clearance by Devine when it seemed certain we'd go behind, I celebrated it like a goal and was not alone. Think it's fair to say that other than the penalty, our next best chances were 3 headers from Devine from corners, all of which were off target. Overall a strange one. No lack of effort, but no real threat, as the stats say. When our bench is 4 attacking players and a goalkeeper, I'm left wondering if we've gone too far in letting basically all of our own youngsters go out on loan.
  2. Incredibly sad news. I spent time with Ian many years ago when he gave me an insight into the work he carried out as a historian and just last week I came across a huge wad of documents which he very generously copied and shared with me. I'd been saving my proud copy of his new book to enjoy later this month. Like many others, I thought incredibly highly of Ian and sincerely hope we as a club do something to commemorate him on a permanent basis.
  3. That was my assumption...until I read this from the article - Gardiner said: “We’ve got to work through the season ticket list in a system. We started with who had a season ticket the longest, and was in tier one. Now maybe they started off with a group of I dunno - 500? - fans who held it longest and obviously not everyone can get lucky and get offered one. Or maybe half the season ticket holders? Who knows. Whatever it was, they clearly haven't done themselves any favours. Incidentally, I personally don't think they should have started with the longest holders first, everyone should have been in the draw with the same chance imo. Wonder if people who already have had tickets will get to go again if they are among the first 300 to get in touch for each game. Still time to introduce an opt-in system - anyone who hasn't been allocated a ticket to any previous games gets priority and any leftover balloted.
  4. I don't know about anyone else, but as a season ticket holder (living locally) for many many years, I'm livid at that article. Only one of my group has been offered a ticket in the ballot and they aren't even the person who has held a season ticket the longest. (edited to add - the longevity reference relates to a comment made by Gardiner in P&J article, not my personal feelings) 2020 - the year ICT completely lost the last bit of loyalty that their fans have generously given them for many years, despite the club's best efforts to blow it time after time.
  5. Also sent several messages (wasn't easy to find a way to contact club on website, I'm sure there used to be ail addresses but now there's just a submit comment type thing. Which wasn't easiest to find). Weeks later, no reply. Sent a further message which got a response. Saying... Emails missed due to IT issues . Seriously. Got to laugh. Sometimes I really do wish it was easy to change your football team as it was to change your car or supermarket or brand of trainers.
  6. Apparently you are wrong and it's us silly Highlanders at fault and not the providers as per the response sent out... The email was sent at 3.25 one it was apparent the issue wasn’t easily fixed, it must have taken some time to get to some inboxes due to the number of recipients Thanks Luca Seriously, for a company providing an online service to try to bluff us into believing that the number of email recipients has any impact on the time taken for an email to be received is one of the most insulting things I've heard this year (leaving all political discussions aside!). So because there are about 1000 season ticket holders to notify and because we stay way up north we're meant to accept this? Incidentally everyone else I know who submitted similar complaint was told 3.15 and not 3.25. And personally I don't think it's at all acceptable anyway to wait 25 mins into a 90 min event before telling your customers to try another method. If our club don't distance themselves from this set up asap and speak out then that's shocking. Contract clearly not fulfilled, break ties with provider and seek financial recompense and an apology to supporters affected since day one. Otherwise they are letting us down. Cracking result by the way!
  7. I got an email from the SPFL helpdesk at 1615 claiming that they had in fact emailed everyone at 1515 with an alternative link to access game (same as they told 2 friends too) which stated "it must have taken some time to get to some inboxes due to the number of recipients." This was after earlier receiving the ludicrous response telling me to refresh my browser. FFS. I've utterly had enough of this, utter shambles. Why do the club appear to do their very best to make it so very hard for us to support the team? Yeah blame the provider... but how is it always/only us who seem to have these issues with the streaming? If this was any other business I'd be moving to another brand without a second thought. A brief apology or acknowledgement on twitter or emailed out at 3pm would have been so simple but would have gone a long way.
  8. I received an email saying my order is complete and the shipping method as stadium pick-up. I've not been to collect it yet as I wasn't sure if this meant it was actually waiting for me to do so or if I had to wait until I was contacted by someone at the stadium - any advice/anyone else had same message and been to stadium to collect it?

    My goodness, that's truly awful news. Thoughts are very much with his family and friends x
  10. Watched on tv. Proud of team, gave everything but have to say the attacking force of Hibs totally outclassed us. Boyle ran us ragged, the 3 bookings on him within about 20 mins told the story. Biggest problem for me was that we didn't have a plan B - literally no alternatives for Carson/Trafford, both of whom had very early bookings. I didn't get the line-up (for me Keatings and Walsh were not involved nearly enough) but such is the way of things with that formation. We'd no other option but to try to make use of the wide players who were (abundantly) available. Last season I thought Tremarco's best days were behind him, but as said by other posters this is clearly not the case. Tremendous performance. While he certainly wasn't flawless, Trafford gave everything and never hid and same with Carson. Credit to them both, specially after early bookings. Interesting to hear White get so much praise from commentators for both his performance during game and in general this season. I for one was glad to hear it as he gets plenty of criticism elsewhere. Roll on Tuesday.
  11. Breathing a sigh of relief at the win, specially with their late "goal" disallowed. Better than many if not most teams outwith the premiership that have played here in recent years. Could have done without the theatricals, but really hope Brown is ok after going off looking in a bad way though. Definitely nothing theatrical about that. I really admired the progress White made last season but he's missed a fair number of chances over the last 2 games. Dundee might be too early for Robbo to gamble starting Todorov but it wouldn't be a bad shout. As for Macgregor - really look forward to seeing a lot more of him I underestimated Vincent returning. Really like the look of him so far. Carson looks like a really busy and hard working player, feeling optimistic about him. Really got to improve our defence though, they cut through us for both goals. Not entirely comfortable with Vincent and Carson being the 2 staying back at our corners (and Doran at one) but I'm guessing it's considered worth sacrificing the risk of having defenders up for corners due to their height/attacking value at set pieces?? All to play for on Sunday, which is brilliant after how I felt after Peterhead!
  12. Frankly, I very much doubt it. Would I do it personally? I really don't know. Up until the last few days, it's not been a great season to be an ICT fan and I don't think anyone would be surprised if our season ticket sales took a substantial hit next year. I just don't think the timing is great to ask the fans for more money, although I totally understand the reasoning that it's best to do so now than wait until it's too late.
  13. Not sure which peed me off the most today - Partick's unsporting behaviour (that's putting it VERY politely - aka dirty, cheating b******s) or the referee or taking Rooney off and leaving Mckay on
  14. Totally uninspiring. Another good goal for Walsh - three very similar goals for him in last 3 games I believe - but other than that pretty dire. Ridgers kept us in game, we totally rode our luck for a large portion of the match. Other than that, same old. Even the subs are same week after week, but credit for giving Macgregor a decent run out again. We need to see more of him though - and his U18 teammates. Things desperately need freshened up, the first team squad have had their chance and it's at the point we've nothing to lose. I'm certainly not being entertained this season and I'd rather pay money to see Robbo take a gamble and play more of our youngsters than hold out for yet another draw. Have to say that I'm getting really frustrated by lack of discipline by Brad and Rooney. Rooney got away with it today when he kicked ball in the air in frustration, but the pair of them live on the edge/step over the line week after week. Oh, and totally sick of going in entrance by sports bar and not allowed to go to toilet, never mind catering. Instead we are forced to go up the stairs, along the passageway to other end of stand and down the stairs. Creates bottlenecks and congestion as we're against the main flow of traffic and totally unnecessary. I'm not trying to get a drink, so why can't I use the facilities?? Been hit and miss for a while, but now we're told we can't get into sportsbar area after 2.30. Causing lots of frustration for those of us who simply want a pie/pee and also costing the club money in lost revenue.
  15. Tremendous third goal, great work from Macgregor and a lovely, unselfish layoff to Doran who had made a fantastic run to finish it off. Roddy looked good throughout his appearance, lively and retained ball well under pressure. I hate to say it, but although White got a hattrick, he won't have won all his doubters over tonight. Delighted for him though, hope it gives him a boost to push on and keep the goals coming. How his second went in, goodness only knows. From my viewpoint it looked like it went straight (quite tamely) at the keeper who somehow let it slip thought his hands/legs to trickle in. By no means our best performance but a result that we needed and the team kept going to the very end, which was typified by Doran's goal. We all left pretty happy anyway, which is a nice feeling.
