Just seems strange that it was done before Robbo was actually confirmed, would be very strange to have signed anyone without a substantive manager actually in place. I'd like to think Robbo already knows the kind of players he wants and will have a huge contact base ready to supply names, something I dont think Foran had one of this time last season

John Baird from Falkirk 

Has he actually signed anything?

Courier now appears to be reporting that not only is JR the new manager and number 1, but Rice will remain as assistant and Kellacher as coach

Another letter today asking for money to renew player sponsorships! Again to be renewed by 23rd June. 

Do they only speak to us when they want money? Certainly appears so.....

Seems to be a common theme already this season. After a fairly optimistic outlook, I now fear for the future of this season and the club if this is an indication of how the board are going to run the club and treat the fans

I'm as happy clapping as they come but I've not renewed mine (or my daughters) Early bird period is far too short not going into next payday so I can't afford it. It's even less appealing at the non EB price. 

Plus we have no manager, barely enough players, no vision for the future direction of the club or anything regarding investment. In fact no communication whatsoever aside from asking for money. 

Finally I can only reiterate what others have said regarding the price. To keep it the same price in a lower league with one less game, no derby or any big game is inexcusable. There should have been a £30 to £40 reduction. At the very least they could have thrown in the first home cup game but no. After a terrible season watching dross this is what the new administration come up with? Unbelievable. 

I love going to the football and have never not had a Season Ticket since I moved back from Glasgow nearly 9 years ago but I can't feel anything other than were being taken for granted on this occasion. Honestly feeling very torn at the moment.

Sums the feeling up perfectly, well said 

Even though I struggle to get to every home game, I had fully intended to renew my ST purely just to support the club from the offset, however given we now find ourselves a Cship outfit I fully expected my ticket price to drop by at least £50, which I was still willing to pay. The fact that not only has it remained the same, but there appears to not even be a well thought out and calculated rationale to accompany it, means I will not be renewing out of principle and will instead suit myself week by week which games I attend which sadly always inevitably results in losing touch in general. It feels as if the board have just got a complete lack of regard for the long season suffering faithful fans that turned up last season and rather than reward us and encourage others to take the plunge their happier purely robbing the far too loyal fraternity that won't even question it

Season ticket prices just announced, absolutely gobsmacked that they are remaining the same price as last year! Instead of reducing and trying to encourage a new support it would appear they are happy to further rob the old faithful supporter who will renew regardless

Having not been in this situation myself previously, what is the likely cost of a season ticket going to be next season? I was 300 last year and struggled with work to get to quite a few of the games but I'd still be prepared to pay assuming it's not as much as that 

I don't blame Richie for this mess I blame KC and the directors who agreed to put him straight in at the top, a year as assistant to someone else might have bore fruit for next season, but even if lessons have been learnt here and potentially he could have done a better job next year, the confidence of the fans and respect of the players has been totally lost. No way back. Never nice to have to feel happy about anyone losing their job, but it's absolutely critical to our success and hopefully immediate return to the PL

Definitely Hamilton, I think relegation will hit them far harder financially than us and certainly more than DU. If we get rid of foran and rebuild properly I see no real threat in that league other than Falkirk 

They really are poor down there, I've seen me going to reception to ask if shop can be opened so I can buy a ticket or just have a look and I just get impression I'm simply wasting their time so I usually just rush off without really bothering. Even people looking to get tickets which could potentially be their first experience, get the obstacles and cold shoulder treatment. Place is a joke

Not necessarily.

An outside bet has much higher odds, I understand.

For somewhat obvious reasons, I'd imagine

Billy King to Dundee Utd on pre-contract ... seems a bit premature given he doesn't yet know what division ICT or Utd will be in next season

https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/986465/dundee-united-confirm-capture-of-inverness-loan-star-billy-king-on-a-pre-contract-from-hearts/

 

What a strange situation to ponder though, just theoretically imagine we get to the play offs, against DU and its 10 mins from final whistle, currently a draw, Billy happens to be in a scoring postion.....what does he do!!! What a decision to make

Lot of imagination put into Fonners Tango suit, no wonder he's falling asleep there 

It'll be Kenny Cameron that wins

What I said was accurate.....Carl isn't (and wasn't) on crutches....nor was he boarding a train to London. He's also been in along with the rest of the squad since the game.

I didn't once say he wasn't injured.... although I wasn't aware, or had any reason to believe, he was when I posted.

Ok Ok, I was only winding you up :)

Yes and then the Courier scours our website and turns it into part of the main back page article today that says he's out for 2 to 3 weeks with a knee injury. Amazing!

Oh well, that teaches me not to listen to the word of someone who works at the club and sees the players and staff every single day

Not sure who you saw, but Carl is in Inverness, not on crutches and just heading out to training with the rest of the squad.

Lol, gotta love how gossip starts

Kevin McNaughton only a couple weeks off being fit.

Nice one I thought Kevin was one of our strongest players early on in the season, and had he not been injured so  early I think he would have commanded that back 4.

Just seeing the 2nd ICTFC official trailer for something "coming in the air" involving Dicksons. I first thought it was going to be some boring deal to buy cars at a slightly discounted price, but now another ones appeared and to be honest if it is purely a Dicksons sales plug, then I doubt many will be particularly impressed at the build up, however I noticed it makes reference to the "Caley Jags TV" and it made me wonder, if this could be launch of a new sub based Youtube channel?

Audio quality not the best.....but far from our worst.....sorry.  Really must stop doing interview in the wind tunnel!!

Richie had to head off immediately at full time to attend a family event.  Press/Media were notified of this on Thursday....so no conspiracy theories required.

Is Kellacher standing on a balance board during this interview? 

For only getting a point yesterday, I came away from that feeling very positive. For first time in ages, I actually struggled who to award the 5,3,1 points to in the poll. King was standout for me, very pleasing to see him assert himself on the pitch, and hopefully this will give Richie the confidence to start him more often. Esson for me was OK, but as others have mentioned very rusty which I guess is only natural. It's a pity in this scenario we don't still have Cammy as I thought he was great in the Hearts game. Thought for once Vigurs showed great skill and composure and played with real heart, as did all of them really including Tansey. Very unfortunate actually not to have held out for the win, but given where we were at HT a draw seems fair. It seems now we have turned a corner in terms of our firepower upfront, but we must plug that hole in defence if we are to climb off the bottom. Warren is struggling every game, and Raven who had a decent game struggled with a full 90 minutes. We need Brad back in there and possibly reinforcements brought in to cover RB. McCart looked decent but was certainly guilty of giving the ball away now and again.
