Draper is a complete thug ... wondering if he's trying to put players out of the cup semi the way he is throwing his considerable weight about 

Totalling cigared the game until we lost Welsh ... lost all momentum ... excellent pressing, hungry, confident performance up to that point. Should have been out of sight. Made life hard for ourselves unnecessarily the last 10 mins ... the Caley Thistle way ... glad it was Alloa ... but 3 vital points.

Great support from fans today. Did I hear an ICT version of M Utd's "Ole's at the wheel song" ?

Would love to know the words if anyone on here knows them... 

 

Didn't get a response so made up my own. I'm sure Stone Roses would love this version of Waterfall ...

Robbo’s at the wheel
Tell me how good does it feel
We’ve got Doran, Joe Chalmers and Welsh
Liam Polworth is Sneck born and bred
Du du du du dudu du du
Du du du du dudu du du

The draw we were all hoping for. So so exciting this. What an opportunity!!

Do you know what they were charged?

No I don't ... and the published accounts don't give a detailed breakdown of overheads ... but I know the marketplace and, like any sector, there are suppliers that will typically cost more than others.

That’s the date Companies House put them online, they would have received them a few days before.

That seems to be the case. I phoned Companies House for interest and, yes, they said that the accounts were received by them on 28th Feb (within time) but processed on the 1st ... so no penalty.

However, they added that the Confirmation Statement was apparently overdue. No penalty with that if late ... but not ideal.

I am sure the accountants do a good job but it just got me thinking that they are national and one of the most expensive in town. Plenty other CA audit firms that are more reasonably priced and can also do a perfectly good job. Probably worth a thought especially given the club's finances and if costs (especially non-football, indirect overheads) are being sensibly trimmed. 

The accounts strangely seem to have been filed a day late at Companies House despite being approved more than a week before the 28 February filing deadline. Wonder who will pick up the fine. Hopefully not the club.

Hopefully this cup run gives us a boost of confidence that puts us on a winning streak in the league ... like the Irn-Bru Cup campaign impacted our league run-in last year.

Robbie Nielson comments in after match report a bit condescending and arrogant that they shouldn't be losing to Inverness at home.

Twit ... Not helping his own case with a comment like that though. 

I just love the way we continue to defy the odds! Love our club ... full blown ICT-itis ... wish it could be more contagious and become an epidemic!! 

That was incredible!!! Justice done.

Hopefully McDonald be fit looks a good player not afraid to take a man on McCauley doesn't look fit enough to play a full 90 and tbh don't rate Trafford would rather try big Rooney there if needs must!

Aye McDonald looks an exciting prospect. Disappointingly McCauley looks slower than a week in jail. 

Forget the fact we sold him ... why were we benching him when he was actually here!!

Just in case I get accused of only posting the bad bit, here are the entire accounts for people to pick through for the good bits too...

Thanks for sharing. Fair to say that in the absence of the stadium transfer in and related revaluation and rent adjustments, ICT would be very significantly "balance sheet insolvent" (i.e. net liabilities instead of net assets). The club have (a little unusually) taken credit for the stadium etc. in these accounts to 31 May 2018 even though the related legal stuff didn't seem to be concluded until after (January 2019!) ... not necessarily technically wrong but seems a bit of a stretch (hence the careful wording of note 4 on page 16). More detailed disclosures tend to be part and parcel with audited accounts. Of course, smaller companies don't require audits.

That's harsh OFWs a top keeper rarely had a bad game for us and played thro injury the season we went down can't expect him to walk away from a half decent wage he's like the rest of us got rent to pay I'd take a bumper pay packet if it was offered tho tbh doubt he's taking home that much

I suspect rent/mortgage ain't too much of a problem on £1800 a week or whatever it is.

Given these eye watering losses, it is truly sickening that we've allegedly been having to pay staff / management who contributed to our demise long after they left / stopped "contributing" . I appreciate there are contracts but there should be a legal "out" for relegation (or similar) circumstances ... surely. I hope the club suitably explored this legal avenue. 

It seems plain immoral if people like OFW is still bagging huge wages for sitting on his a@#$ after contributing to our demise ... while current squad players are doing their best for us and earning a relative pittance.

So we are 4th but 9 points from.3rd and 9 points from 9th 

Win away against 2nd top ... lose at home to 2nd bottom ... in the same week 

We need to put Oakley on for some goals in the 2nd half

... oh wait

Dutd are supposed to have got Sow and with their other recruitment will make them significantly stronger now coupled with the strength of County I wouldn't be surprised if the ICT board are already cutting costs to plan for next year still in the championship.

... and Dunfermline have got Bruce Anderson from Aberdeen ... losing George smacks of small short-term monetary gain and next to no genuine aspiration to leave the Championship. 

What's the latest on the Liam Polworth rumours? 

The St Johnstone approach seems to have gone quiet in the press at least ... someone on the St Johnstone thread on Pie & Bovril were saying that Ross County were apparently also interested? 

(The way he has played at Dungwall this season I feared that might be on the cards).

According to Companies House, his legal role of director ended on 17th January.

The highlights from yesterday's game are a difficult watch ... made even worse by the apparent goal over the line from Tom Walsh (first half header off underside of the crossbar) not counting.
