Mrs Gringo Elgin v East Fife draw @3.50 Gringo Stenny v Stranraer draw @3.50

Very true. Hopefully after this 6-1 win we'll go on a run of 11 games without defeat.

I think we deserve to be optimistic after that result - even we only scored four of the six goals. A win certainly adds some much needed joy from the recent dross. A win like can have a remarkable effect on motivation so who knows what will happen. Time will tell.

15 points if I remember correctly. Another victim of the Caley sacking machine. How many is that now?

Many thanks. I've decided to leave to fixture as shown as I'm not too sure how it would affect predictions already entered. PL players please take note. Thanks again.

Changed his handle to Yompa in the days of the Highland March. Still alive and well in East Ayrshire.

I really can't see a protest doing any good to be fair. At the end of the day we haven't got the finances to start sacking people or buying quality players. Yes, it would indeed highlight the feelings of our supporters, but they already know that - don't they

The onset of social media in its many forms has curtailed visits to CTO. So many have left this platform. As an example, I've been running the Prediction League [NLP] almost since CTO began and I've seen entries fall from a high of 80+ to just 20 regular players.

Mrs Gringo Peterhead v Montrose draw @3.75 Gringo ICT v Cove draw @3.40

Aye, saw that incident on the box too and couldn't help thinking we could do with some of that passion in our team. Have him sent to ICT on the next coach North.

I like the sound of this. Esson showed what he can do when the U18's took on Hamilton recently. Be so much better than what we have in place now and between them they'd have a dressing room of players wanting to play for them.

Very best wishes to you all. Hopefully ICT will turn things around in 2023

In my view our decline started after winning the Scottish Cup. A mass exodus of quality players left us bereft of the talent to sustain our lofty position. Relegation was inevitable. Today's ICT are just not good enough to make a push for promotion. Yes, we've had a wretched amount of luck with injuries etc but surely we have players in the squad who have the pride and determination to at least put in a fighting performance on the park instead of just, what seems like, giving up as the whistle blows for kick off. Our tactics are awful, we have no pace and no 'play maker' to create chances and certainly no one to finish them off when we do. Changes need to happen soonest otherwise we'll be dropping down the leagues and back to our roots.
