That penalty though... Are we cursed when it comes to penalties?

I'd love to see us mark it with a special edition jersey or perhaps a Caley Thistle Tomatin Whisky available in the club shop.

I was one of those spoken to ... We were in the upper stand (front row) with the rest of those who had been in hospitality. To be fair, he was correct to speak with me as I used profanity towards that grey-haired numpty from Livi that kept standing up and taunting the ICT fans. However, when asked by several of us if he would speak to the that specific Livi fan he just walked away. 

After that, I ignored the Livi guy and concentrated on calling the ref a rather tamer name than I wanted .....  'a clown'  :)

So its you I'm hearing when I get along to games! ?

I wont pretend to know anything about Managers, but I feel like contributing my two cents. I was there when Robbo led us to promotion as a young lad and I hope he brings vital experience and can make this league very interesting with us, Falkirk and Dundee UTD. HOWEVER, when you read his interview he says it wasnt even on his radar and he had a good gig going at Hearts, he will be up for the challenge but it sounds like ICT did all the running, That worries me a bit. I hope im totally wrong and this season will be really good for us. Crossing my fingers. 

New bookie favourite, Lives local, Knows the club, has experience managing a Premiership club.

Despite my desperation for this outcome, it isn't possible to celebrate it now that it has become a reality. On a human level, a guy who loved the club with every fibre of his being has lost his job and deserves our sympathy. If only he'd been offered/accepted help from an experienced head several months ago, the outcome woild have been different, I am sure. If he walked for the good of the club, then respect to him... I wish him well wherever he goes.

From the football perspective, this was the right outcome, if a few months too late. Let's hope the damage is not totally irreversible.

Now we need to act fast to get the right person in to settle the squad and give us a pop at promotion. I have no idea who that might be, but experience must be top of the shopping list. Fingers crossed that the Board get this appointment right.

I think you have said it best perfICT. I have a lot of respect for Richie and disappointed his first foray into managment has ended so poorly. 

All the best RF.

Not Paul Hartley. I work with a few DFC fans and every single one of them said he was clueless and complained week after week about his selections and lineups. Ring any bells?

I bet he will be hoping for a call from Hearts when Cathro gets booted.

Just throwing it out there but here in Perth, St Johnstone have a deal with a small independent Sports shop for them to exclusively sell club kit outside of the Club Shop. Im not sure if the shop owner has anything to do with the club besides this deal but maybe ICT can look into something similar to that? Is there any small sports shops in Inverness that might be approached? 

I like red and blue for home and as much as I like my white and black or vanilla and black away tops I really think our away top should be black with thin red stripes like our 2013 -14 kit, if you arent sure which one that is have a wee google and see the smiling character we all know and love!

I would like to see them sell more of those seats for life, a brick with your name, or do online raffles over Facebook for signed merch or something.

Afternoon, I know with the negatives that come with relegation we may be needing to run a much tighter ship but I would like to see some new items in the Club shop besides the new season kit.

off the top of my head I would love to see;

- An Engraved whisky glass.

- Hip Flask.

- Club crest Air Freshener.

- Leather keyring.

Just some ideas, I think they would be pretty popular sellers, maybe they have already sold these items and I've missed out. What do you think? Any suggestions to add?
 

Checking the Caley Thistle website and the forum every couple hours today and still no word. I bet it contains...

- Full confidence in Richie and confident of swift return to top flight.

- Thank fans for patience during difficult season and ask for them to get behind Richie.

- Several players will be moving on and they will thank them for their work.

- Tightening of the belt.

Thats my guess. But I'm still hopeful im totally wrong and its actually something really good to lift spirits a bit like a new club shop and upgrading the stadium.

I have spoke to other fans and everyone is saying there is stuff going on behind the scenes which explains why the whole Club has remained static. Its very worrying to hear, if relegation is the kick in the arse we need to have a whole clearout from top to bottom maybe its a blessing in a very painful very disappointing disguise?

*Edit*

This is just here say, I would love someone close to the top to tell me its all a load of rubbish.

Its a real shame Fisher never saw many matches in the beginning. perhaps if he saw more everything could be different, probably better not to think about it...

Anier by the way is just awful.

I don't know how many would agree but I would like to see a new Keeper on the shopping list.

I saw somewhere Polworth take Tanseys place? I don't know if that would work out, for me he is nowhere near the same quality, so a replacement for Tansey of course.

I would very much like to see Alex Fisher get offered something. Sure, he may not fancy a wage cut and championship football BUT he could be the next Caley Thistle Golden boy. a fan favourite perhaps? I may be blethering, its been a long day...

I've typed up a lot of stuff and ended up deleting it all again and again, I personally feel when he says he loves the club and loves the city he is genuine but will not admit he is out of his depth, a lot of folk hate him because he wont/didnt bow out.

I dunno, maybe I just feel he has been with us for years and is really trying, reading all your comments though it seems he puts out dodgy line ups, sign crap poor players and its cost us dearly.

I would be happy with Richie taking another position at the club perhaps assisting a new manager, (maybe Malpas?)

Very shakey start, those three goals were great. Shame we couldnt keep Motherwell out. Off the pitch however Im keen to see what happens over the coming weeks, someone mentioned abuse for Tansey, Anymore info on that? 

On the train, the big man has made it awfy dreich. Perfect Highland welcome for the Motherwell fans. Hopefully the folk from Daviot to Dingwall will hear the crowd.

I can't believe that almost every game this season we concede first and then absolutely collapse.

Would the club ever bring out a sponsorless kit to buy as some other teams do?  I might be more open to buying one if one was available and even if it costed a little more.

That's another good thing about punting Carbrini by the way.  Even their polo shirts and stuff had their name plastered absolutely everywhere.  It looked so tacky and cheap.

Saw this while on my lunch break at work and just remembered I had to get online when I got home just to agree with you Renegade, I really didnt like that the Carbrini logo was all over their products.

I travelled to the Stirling game and the Cowdenbeath game pre-season and for me it was very worrying to watch. I turned to my Girlfriend and said "I think we are going to struggle this season." and boy was I understating that.

I very much doubt Butcher returning would cause a magical return to the SPFL like when he first took charge. If Richie called it a day and left I think it would have to be a totally new manager not one of our previous ones.

What concerns me more is what cif73 is saying, I dont want to see Caley Thistle die after only 23 years but thats another topic.

(also my first post , please go easy. dinnae skelp me lol)
