Caley Mad In Berks

Wonderful, well done boys, keep it up. Dumbarton doing us a favour too.  Happy days.

What a sickener. To concede an og in injury time is bad enough. But then to hear that Arbroath fielded a reserve team v Annan makes it worse. Bet they don't do that next week against us.

Going to be a nervous couple of weeks coming up! Hope the lads can rise to the occasion.

Very hard to read the comments on here from those who were in attendance.  Sounds as though it was one of our worst performances of the season.

In all honesty I can't see us getting much in the next 2 games so it could be a real nail biter at Montrose on 3rd May.  

I'm already nervous about that prospect, so lets hope that Annon don't get much in their next 2 games either.

Anyway, onwards and upwards

What an encouraging result after last week's disappointment.  Well done to all, especially our hat trick scorer.  Annan losing gives us a bit more breathing space as well.

Onwards and upwards.

Well, how disappointing was that?  And other results not entirely favourable for us either.  Really need to pick things up next week.  Come on lads, you can do it.

Onwards and upwards

What a result!  Well done lads.  I was nervous about this one pre match but the team have done us proud.  Play offs not out of the question.

Onwards and upwards

Talk about leaving it late?  But I'll take that.  Well done lads. Out of the bottom 2 now and within touching distance of Montrose.  I can settle down now and enjoy Scotland beat Wales at Murrayfield.

Onwards and upwards

Great win and well done Alloa for late winner v Annan.  I don't think we will make play offs at top of league, but avoiding relegation will be a good achievement after 15 point penalty.

Well done lads. Onwards and upwards

Yes, well done lads. Stats show it was a close game. Really pleased that we were able to hang on for the win.  Onwards and upwards

Yes, as soon as I saw how the current storm, Eowyn, was affecting things in the central belt yesterday, it took me right back to that Saturday of the cancellation. I had flown up from London with my 2 sons, plus a neighbour (a confirmed Rangers supporter btw), and made our way out to Celtic park, only to be devastated at the late cancelation. Even fuelled by a pint or two on the way,  It was a very despondent little group of us who made our way back to the airport to try and get an earlier flight back to London.  All was well of course a few days later when Super Caley went ballistic.... and the rest is history.

Better fortunes on the field, with the whole squad, from manager down, clearly giving their all, has led to a much more positive feeling on this website too. As a less frequent contributor these days, but a regular reader, it is a pleasure to come on every day and see everyone's comments. Despite the still difficult financial situation, there is definitely some optimism on the site now.

Long may it continue , and well done to the team and everyone who has helped improve things.

Onwards and upwards

Yes, a nice Xmas present. Glad that we managed to score after dominating the stats once again.  Well done lads.

Onwards and upwards

Well, we've waited a long time for a result like that.  Sounds like we battered them according to the stats.  Well done lads. Just the pre Xmas tonic we all needed

Onwards and upwards

Absolutely buzzing after that result.  Well done to all concerned. A nice wee winning run to finish off a desperate 2024 is the Xmas present we all need. Perfectly achievable I think.

Onwards and upwards

Yes, good to see a more positive post.  I too wish the new set up all the best.  I've supported ICT, and Caley before that, for too long to give up now.  I've generated quite a following of locals here in sunny Berkshire who follow ICT results keenly.  We don't travel north to many games anymore (as most of us are 'getting on a bit' nowadays).  But I've been touched how many people, even outside my close friends, have come up to me in recent weeds to wish ICT well.

Onwards and upwards

Yes, that was a really poor,  losing two quick goals after being 2 up midway through second half. Although it is a very tight league at the minute I fear we are going to have to fight (and improve) to stay in it!

Yes, thanks Celtic1Caley3, for posting that link about Gardner's record at both Hearts and Dundee.  We are well shot of him, and just in the nick of time. At least, many of us feel more comfortable about Savage being back at the helm, if only temporarily.  Now we need to win a few matches and learn how to score goals again. Whether we can do that with Ferguson still here is doubtful, but I'm willing to be proved wrong.

Onwards and upwards.

Just come back from a couple of weeks away.  Delighted with the news that Gardner has gone and that the take over by Seventy 7 (or whatever they were called) is now a non starter.  Very happy that Savage has the best interests of ICT at heart, and that he will genuinely try hard to get us stable again.

Onwards and upwards

What awful news.  Such a shock. I usually only met him in pre or post match pubs, mainly at 'away' matches, all over the south of Scotland.  I had left Inverness by the time Johndo had become a stalwart in the Howden End.  He will be greatly missed. Condolences to his family.

R.I.P.  I'll raise a 'vodie' or two to you this evening.

Careful Dougal - you are beginning to talk sense and people are liking you !!

Yes, its almost as if you have hired IHE to do your script writing!!! Now who would ever have thought that? Nudge, nudge!!!!

Sad to see after a decent first few minutes.  But, we have given away soft goals all season. Ridgers at fault for the first one, he should have saved that.  His errors in recent weeks have proved costly. I fear Division 1 is our level nowadays, so we can have no complaints.  

First full match I have seen in a while.  I thought we were the better team by far, At least 4 or 5 times hitting the woodwork , and Raith keeper was outstanding throughout. A real sickener to lose that, but strangely I feel fairly confident that we can stay up without the help from other results.  Call me a happy clapper if you like, but I thought we were really good tonight and really unlucky to lose a match we could have won by a handful of goals

Onwards and upwards

Great result. Well done lads. A good confidence boost, I hope, for the run-in which still won't be easy, but we can do it.

What a result this could be!  Come on lads, let's have another.

I don't want to wake up from this dream any time soon!
