Fan injection of money
There probably aren't a lot of fans with that sort of spare cash to throw at the club. Nice idea but I could never see it happening and it would only be a short term fix anyway i would think. As Kingsmills quite rightly says, money is not the answer. We need that stability at the club from top to bottom. No rookies - just experience

Thank You Kenny
It is my view that Kenny Cameron did a fine job at ICT and he has the club in his blood. It's a job I wouldn't relish. Trying to keep the club afloat in the face of increasing financial stress can't be easy. We could, of course, gone the other way and spent until the cows came home which would undoubtedly have ran up debts that would have seen the club ruined beyond repair. Yes, he could have taken action regarding our current plight as early as Yogi's departure and NOT appointed a rookie manager but were there any other realistic options available given the finances If that was the case he'd have taken them wouldn't he? Anyway, that's in the past now, we move on to next chapter, but I reflect and remember what he has done for this club. I wish him a very happy and healthy retirement.

Statement from board??
CaleyD is in the boardroom right now holding all the members to ransom until they make the one big (easy) decision we all want

Kilmarnock -V- Inverness CT
Fair comment there Charles and you are no doubt correct in your views regarding events / support at the start of the Caley Thistle journey. I'm also all for ICT living within their means which generally speaking we have managed to do. Our average home crowd doesn't support a PL wage in my view. Over the years ICT have climbed up the league ladder and culminated in a glorious SFA Cup win but this hasn't attracted more punters through the gate. We have an average home gate that could just about support the wage at Championship level...maybe.

I really can't see us getting back up at the first attempt to be honest - at least not with the current set up anyway. The club needs investment which isn't forthcoming and even after our cup win, which showed the potential of this club, the response was negative. It's a real shame. Some have mentioned that there is still a majority of folk within the city that still haven't got over the merger and refuse to have anything to do with the new club. There may well be an element of truth in this which is really really sad. It was over twenty years ago - get over it. With this in mind I have this awful feeling we are going to fall even further behind our neighbours and could well end up going part-time and fighting it out with the likes of Elgin City. And as for Foran's after match comments....I'm gobsmacked. How can you possibly keep praising a side that can't win or defend?

Development League 2016/17
There's no hiding from the fact that they've got it right over the bridge....and we haven't. Awful season all round.

Maurice Malpas
Looking at the National Rail timetable (and providing there are no changes to it by next season) it looks like I will be able to get to and from Dumbarton (East) next season on the same day

Maurice Malpas
This mess was created by the board in my view. I sincerely hope this appointment works out well for ICT but I feel it's too little too late. Time will tell of course but we haven't got much of that left. Action should have been taken months ago. Five games left and eight points from safety is a tall order for an out of sorts team. Can be done of course but I can't see it happening to be honest. Lose in Dingwall and we can start booking trips to Dumbarton.

I don't think we have the team spirit to get out of this mess tbh. Please prove me wrong ICT.

Foran - Should he stay or should he go?
I for one can not see any light at the end of the tunnel tbh. I really think appointing RF was a big mistake - I hoped I was wrong but it doesn't look that way the moment. I can't see us avoiding the drop with the current tactics. We're not creating chances or putting them away when we do. We need goals (and stop leaking them) and we're not getting them. We still have talented players in the squad but the gaffer doesn't know how to play them from what I can see. Experience is everything when fighting a relegation battle and RF haven't got this. Please prove me wrong RF.

Match 1000
What a shame our 1000th game is against 'them'. I wouldn't have minded purchasing the magazine on this milestone occasion but I refuse to have anything that has 'them' in it.

Test Poll
Seemed to vote ok but now disappeared.

Low points 16/17 - poll
Shame that wasn't an option. If it was I'd suggest it would beat the votes for the Hamilton game. Hearts was awful but it has to be Hamilton really as we haven't learnt any lessons from past failings. Celtic hurt on Sunday but probably not as much as Hamilton because there were no points at stake.
