    Probably as I have just lost interest to an extent.

    Partly down to me as the product / entertainment on offer is poor. 

    Partly down to not liking the way the club is run.

    To summarise, ICT is not as appealing to me anymore for various reasons.

    Fair do's, it is soul destroying sometimes, but what a buzz when it all comes together!

    SG may have done good re that, but the way he treats the fans means he 'has hit the target, but misses the point' of our club. 

    Misses the point of Our club'. A nice statement, but aren't you the one who most weeks is looking for reasons not to attend matches? Surely as it is 'our club' we should support it regardless of what executives, managers, and for that matter, players, come and go.

    Right, funnily enough this is usually the sort of thread that I would start so it really tells a story that I haven't started one, I am now realising that it's not always the manager to blame for failures and sorry to bring up Rugby again but, that's exactly why I have stuck by Gregor Townsend for as long as I have,

    Hi CT. might as well go off on a tangent here.  Don't you think GT has had the most naturally talented back line a Scottish manager has ever had, and yet achieved nothing.  Surely therefore it highlights poor coaching.  The Scottish forwards woeful attempts at powering over from a yard has been their downfall for years and years. Their lack of guile and craft is shown up every match. Its all in the coaching. Whether it's the head coach, or the forwards coach, or the attacking coach, or all of them. So, to conclude on a Caley Thistle note, maybe Scott Kellacher is actually our problem, he has always been there.

    Below the belt Macaroni - as an apology name another 10 teams who have orange strips.

    I remember my 6 year old son having the Barcelona 3rd strip I think, courtesy of his grandparents,  it was orange socks, shorts, shirt. Horrendous, but he loved it, and wasn't a bigot. Still isn't actually, though he is not a fan of the Caley orange strip..

    Oh come on. This is the guy that procured an orange strip for an inverness family oriented club and released it on the 12th july. Nothing more needs to be said.  

    If the club wants to align itself with this kind of nonsense then I want nothing to do with it!

    Aye nothing less family friendly than orange.  You are aligning the club with that nonsense, along with one or two others. Anyone would think you had an agenda.

    • Blackpool play in tangerine – a tone of orange – shirts and white shorts, with their socks combining both colours.
    • Brisbane Roar play in orange shirts – with black diagonal shoulders with a thin, white line under the black – black shorts and orange with black banded socks.
    • Dundee United rock tangerine shirts, black shorts and tangerine with black banded socks.
    • Houston Dynamo don all-orange kits, with black designs on the necks, arms and sides of the jerseys.
    • Hull City play in black and amber (yellow and orange) striped shirts, black shorts and black and amber socks.
    • Istanbul Basaksehir FK play in orange shirts and socks, accompanied by navy blue shorts.
    • Lorient wear orange shirts, with a diamond checker pattern with a subtle wave pattern applied, black shorts and white socks.
    • Luton Town play in orange shirts, with white and blue on the trims, blue shorts and orange socks.
    • Montpellier play in predominant navy and less conspicuous orange shirts and socks, accompanied by navy blue shorts.
    • Shakhtar Donetsk rock orange shirts and socks with thin stripes, with black shorts to match.

    On the international scene, only two popular countries are among the football teams that play in orange kits

    • Ivory Coast play in all-orange kits, with a touch of green on the shoulders.
    • Netherlands rock bright orange shirts, shorts and socks, with black designs on them.

    Precisely the kind of dismissive/mocking attitude towards fans views we've seen from the CEO.

    Neither dismissive, it's a question, nor mocking but nice to see you are suddenly a sensitive wee soul.

    Great decision releasing a quality player like this when so much junk in the squad needing cleared up well before him . But it’s the way the club is being run these days  . Very badly run club . CEO is a joke 

    I have it from players directly that he has been running the team, and club down at every opportunity this season.  Add in the FACT he has played very few games for us whilst drawing a wage, this is the best decision made by the new manager so far.

    Oh and BTW no communications from anyone on the non playing side is allowed without his say so.

    You should build on the foundations of a club/business, not blow it up with dynamite and lack of people skills. 

    You have been at Tottenham Hotspur, Sevco, Dundee and ICT. Where next? CEO of Avoch amateur football club?

    Is it not the case though, that whilst a lot of that bread and butter stuff has indeed been dealt with poorly, it is only big projects that could realistically make a major difference to our finances? 

    Exactly that.

  10. I'm just going to put it out there.  I have met SG a number of times, at games and outwith, and have always found him good company, interesting and willing to chat.  He's got an almost impossible job, with no money to do it, and most criticism seems to be based on him supporting Rangers, 'Gasp, shock, horror, pearl clutching'.

    What I really dislike though is that no-one actually knows the facts but everyone is absolutely sure that if it is negative it is true. Yes communication is poor, but as far as I can see we have a SLO, and a communications team, and they are the ones failing.

    The man has tried things, some have worked, some haven't, but at least he has tried.

    While I'm on a roll.. Let's be honest about our club and our city. Our attendances of c 2000, if you believe that, are shocking, the cub is in decline and with the best will in the world it is not Scott Gardiners fault.  The city does not support the team, for whatever reason, definitely not because SG supports Rangers, and that is what we need to fix. Getting rid of the CEO will not sort that.

  11. I reckon I will score before Austin Samuels this year, and at 60 I'm looking forward to it in one of those lovely orange tops . Poor Austin just looks clueless to be honest.

    We'll play better and still lose, we'll play worse and win.  We won't win the league.

  12. To me, it is completely unacceptable that our director of football is in Dingwall, as a pundit, when his employer is conducting his business the same night in Glasgow.  Read the room, Mr Robertson, leave, and give Mr Dodds a lift wherever you go.

    Thought you said it was a gift from our Tory posh boy benefactors.

    Never thought we'd have Tory Unionists supporting the Caley. 🤮

    Why wouldn't they? The ugly sisters show us what blind support of a team means when mixed up with politics and religion. 'Tory posh boy' is like saying 'lowlife, thicko nationalists', not accurate, not useful.

    I think this story still has a bit to run ... maybe to UEFA and/or ICAS especially after the ruling in France.

    It may come to nothing in the end but if Hearts do end up in the championship alongside us, whilst seeking any legal means to stay in the Premiership it could force them to lose focus and maybe take a while to get going when things restart. We are notorious slow starters so if we manage to prepare properly and come out of the start gates quickly for once we could do well, especially if the season is indeed shortened to 27 games.

     

    Seems I was right about the story having more to run based on lightlamp2's link above.  I wish Hearts all the success they can get from this. Not only because it would benefit ICT - and I would be lying if I said that didn't matter, it does - but also because it is the right thing to do. Hearts, Partick, Stranraer, Brora and Kelty are all victims here and no league body should ever seek to disadvantage its members like this when its aim is to foster the game for the good and benefit of ALL of its members. Here's hoping that Hearts are successful and in the process they take down Doncaster and all his useless cronies in the process. 

    Late starters and a shortened season, you're making me nervous..

    Doesn't really amount to much, but all in all, we haven't actually conceded that many goals on average...

    IMG_20191111_154645.jpg

    Aye, but 7 teams below us have Rangers and Celtic putting 6 past them every week.. Our defence is the problem without a doubt. Think back to our glory years, ok 2015, we had a central defensive partnership that we could depend on 100%.  The way we are just now opposition look like scoring every time they get in our box. Also means Ridgers has to do more thinking, second guessing the numpties in front of him, and getting out of position himself. Donaldson  having a rotten season, only good thing is McKay was injured or it could have been much worse.

  16. Same ol', same ol'. Personnel may have changed but match reports haven't. Mulraney, no end product. Polworth invisible. Going forward, no idea. Defence, clueless. MacKay, not a footballer at all. Goalkeeper weak. Vigurs, Caley's best player. Ok maybe one change.
