Northstandrising Instagram story this morning stating that BD looking to add one more signing (his source is: The Inverness Courier). 

 

I'd agree with that, we probably need another defender then I'd say we're ready for the coming season :).

 

I do this quite often lol (especially for Tennis) but, I've got a good feeling about the coming season 

In his interview on the radio after the Petehead game Dodds said it was another striker he was after. One with pace. I like the look of Ryan Fyffe, he did really well on Tuesday so he may be used for cover in defence.

I never made the game myself but heard good things from those who were there. Great to get a win from the the first competitive game and create loads of chances.

Is Scott Allardice being used sparingly as he is due to serve a suspension for the first two league games?

I have a ticket for the Stirling Albion game but not with a proper seat number. It just indicates GA123 in the North Stand and a note to say stewards will show you to a seat. Did that arrangement work okay on Tuesday?

Looking forward to it and a few beers in the Phoenix after. 

You could sit anywhere you wanted, as long as you kept your distance from others. Every other row is closed off. It worked fine for me.

All in all a great night out. 

A bit dismayed to have Andy Bannerman inflicted on us again!! He even read out a long list of rules most of which I didnt listen to but there was mention of not sharing drinks....

Just out of interest what was your main problem with Andy Bannerman? Surely it wasnt just because he read out a long list of rules, which I guess were given to him by the club to read out. 

I'm possibly in the minority but I thought the stadium announcer guy was really good.  Also have the club improved the tannoy system? I normally sit in the main stand but was in the south stand and the sound was so much better than I was used to. 

Who is Hennem? Is he another youngster?

Does anyone know who the trialist is?

Someone mentioned it was Jevan Anderson. Russel Anderson's son apparently. He looked ok, no better than what we have in my opinion.

Anybody else feel these guys are signing because it's the easy option. I'd rather we signed guys that want to play for caley not just because Ross county don't want them but there families are settled here!

It may be the easy option but these guys are still quality players. To be honest I cant see many players signing for any team at our level because they are desperate to play for them. Manny Duku wont be signing because he saw us last year and thought he would love to play for us. He's signing because he wants to play football and we offered him that chance. All we can do is hope that any new signing comes in and gives 110% and does his best for ICT. If they do that then I'll be more than happy and have no concerns about where they came from or why they came.

Toddy's offski. Pure embarrassing move by the club.

Why is it an embarrassing move by the club? If he's out of contract and wants to move on what can the club do about it.

We've signed Toby Michaels ?

Could say the same about this but I guess nobody else is really that bothered to bring it up.

Unreal signing for Brora. Hope he can stay fit and get a consistent run of games. Will be a superb player at that level.

Dont know what he could be scouting when there is no football at moment.

I might be wrong but I'm sure I read there was a trials game for players that have been released from clubs. 

Wont be Paul Sheerin. Has been confirmed as the Falkirk manager.

After being released by us Brad Mckay has pitched up at Falkirk.

Maybe I missed it but did the club come out and announce McKay had left? Has it been confirmed that Vincent is away?

I didnt realise Robbie Deas was still young enough to be selected for the under 21s. For some reason I thought he was 23 or 24. Great achievement from all the guys.

I'm hoping a journalist leaks info on who's on the shortlist lol.

I reckon Barry Robson will be interviewed and possibly Paul Telfer again.

I reckon we will know by early to late Tuesday who's going to be manager, STV broke the news about Butcher and Robertson the night before both got appointed if I recall. 

I personally, hope its a young guy looking to take his first step into management instead of a first team coach or assistant such as Dodds or Fox etc. 

Paul Telfer? Maybe wrong but his last job in football was in 2015 in America. Surely there are better candidates out there than him.

Berra just wait and see!

Did he not sign a pre contract to join Raith Rovers?

If Arbroath do manage to do us a massive favour we have to make sure we dont concede again. As things stand our goal difference is 1 better than Dunferlmine and we will be 2 points behind. A win and a draw for Dunfermline next week would then be enough for us. 

Dunfermline have a tricky game on Saturday. Arbroath are coming off the back of an excellent result against Ayr and are still only 2 points above the relegation play off place so they have plenty still to play for. I dont think we're down and out just yet.

Who would you rather be just now in the battle for 4th place, us or Dunfermline?

I’d say it is advantage Dunfermline after their good win over QotS today, with them having points on the board and easier fixtures left.

In a way I'm glad we dont have Dunfermline's fixtures. We always seen to struggle against Arbroath and Alloa so the games we have left might suit us better.

Great news. Definitely a future captain.

Friday night at 6. Massive kick in the bollocks for everyone who has a job and will likely be working through the game...

Why they couldn't move it to 7:45 on the Saturday when everyone would be out of work baffles me.

I think Friday is much better for us. Gives us an extra days recovery before we play a massive match against Dundee on the Tuesday night. 

What a turn around for Toddy. He was superb on Friday and yet another goal tonight. Really delighted for him, his attitude and commitment is great. Brilliant that he's now adding goals to his game. He's hitting from just at the right time.

Beat St Mirren and we go away to Kilmarnock or Montrose.

Todorov had been really good so far. His hold up and link up play have been excellent.

If the result stays the same we move into the play off places on goal difference.
