Club statement today on the Jsmes Keatings' tribunal decision: https://ictfc.com/club-news-james-keatings I must say how proud I am of the board and the club generally in how they have dealt with this whole situation.

Think Wikipedia counts league appearances only

He is a consultant to the SFA (Darryl Broadfoot). There was talk around the fact that, with an assumed 2-1 majority at the first appeal, there must be another tribunal member (apart from the one who fell on his/her sword) who must have determined it to be a dive ... and presumably remains in situe ... presumably without facing a sanction. Hope he or she is not in the re-run As Tom English put it "I wouldn't trust that person to make me a cup of tea". Surely an individual with that level of incompetence cannot continue in that role going forward. Some interesting remarks about whether the 2nd and 3rd persons were football people or not (which could throw up fresh controversies). DB gave the impression he was in the know about who they were, though given his role that wouldn't be a surprise I imagine. Suffice to say the podcast is well worth a listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p084mxzv

Agreed. Fair enough. Though it's not a bad thing for posters to round on extreme pedantry. No need for it.

We had a player who was described by a board member as distraught after the game. That was before the original appeal was heard ... while there was hope of a reprieve (right word? ... I'm sure you'll set me straight). James came to our club having previously been open about difficulties with depression. In effect, he was being labelled as a cheat completely unjustly. He was set to miss out on a final. They don't come around every week. The dictionary definition of grave in this context includes "serious", no mention of life or death. Is your pedantry really required?
-
As long as justice for James is achieved ... that's the main thing. The SFA is a complete shambles but at least they've opened the door to correcting a grave error (rather than shutting up shop in arrogant defiance). It seems strange that it's only the panel member who owned up that has got binned. The whole panel should have been relieved from duties.

Quality piece. A few bits that would be laugh out loud sarcasm if it wasn't so sad e.g. "The reaction from across Scottish football when the farcical ruling then landed said it all. It takes a lot to unite the polarised factions of our game, but hats off to the SFA. At times, they can bring the country together as a homogenous, scornful brotherhood." https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/18251477.graeme-mcgarry-dogs-street-can-see-sfa-reform-needed-james-keatings-farce/

Let's all do this and share. Strikes right at the heart of sporting integrity and the reputation of our national game. Let's start a revolution. We're all James Keatings.

Would like to see that offside goal again. 10 men can't beat 14
-
How the feck is that a yellow for diving
-
Jammy rather than skilful. Not seen defending like this since the start of the 1st season in the championship
-
Does Rooney think he's playing forward or what?!
-
Yes ... imagine Dundee Utd fans instead going to Dundee matches before Dundee were relegated ... or Rangers/The Rangers fans instead going to see Celtic matches before they got back to the top division.

35 years ago today Inverness Thistle beat Kilmarnock 3-0 in the Scottish Cup at Kingsmills. There were 2500 in attendance that day ... compared to less than 2000 for Livingston yesterday. Disappointing. Unfathomable. The heights of recent years almost seem a rod for the backs of the current team where the disappointment of relegation has led to apathy and disillusionment. Invernessians have forgotten where we've come from ... where the excitement of any "big" (I.e. league) league team to Kingsmills or Telford Street would draw a larger crowd than any crowd that ICT has had at home this season.

That performance and result today should also give the team huge confidence for the play-off game against the 2nd bottom premier club should we make it that far.

Indeed ... fairly sure we got larger crowds than that for Scottish Cup days when we were in League 1/2. Sad.
-
Well done to Jordan for the goal ... but somebody seriously needs to have a word in his shell-like about jumping high and heading down. Never seen a striker like him for that clearance header nonsense.
-
Jordan's consistent upward headers over the bar and into the sky could be a real asset in central defence
-
^^This ... a million times this! Regarding the Ayr goal ... shambolic ... especially after all the stout defending before that ... pass elsewhere or at least give Trafford a shout.

A simple stepping-up decision. As a young loon, I imagine he didn't dream endlessly of playing for St J. However, they're in a higher league (at least for now), can therefore command better pay, and are more visible for his next move. There may also be the attraction of being closer to the central belt where he hails from). I'm sure a year ago George Oakley didn't feel he had arrived by signing for Hamilton Accies but, like many jobs in life, if there is an easy step up/improvement on your status quo, you take a pragmatic view and grab what's available at that moment rather than hold out for a speculative, bigger dream that might never come to fruition.

Where are the video highlights from this game? Did Dundee take the huff from losing and not post any?
-
Baffled that both our regular centre backs have attracted all this top flight attention when they've been more prone to brain farts this season.
-
Dundee equalised in the 92nd minute and QOS scored the winner in the 93rd minute ??? keeps distance between ourselves and Dundee
