No I'm not and to be honest I don't know much about them.I am happy with all the chat on this forum but will update members if the Chairman ever gets back to me.

Excuse my ignorance,but I have never really heard from the Supporters Trust who surely are asking all the right questions,so why are they not updating all the fans whether they be in the Trust or other forums. I thought the business of a Supporters Trust was to give fans a collective voice in influencing the activities of the club they support ? If that's the case what has happened,or do the club not communicate with them either. As previously stated, I wrote to the Chairman asking questions about the clubs communication or lack thereof and 27 days later and still no acknowledgement or reply.

Could not agree more big Cherly.Why is there not a cross section of people with direct access to the board.What about our young fans and their views, what about input from the disabled.Are there any females on the board,or is it made up of middle aged and old men in suits. A better cross section of people with their varied views would allow the club to reap the benefits and more than likely increase the fan base because people would want to come and enjoy the matchday experience which this cross section of fans would likely instigate. As it is,those in charge are happy to continue to offer mediocre in everything. There are probably plenty out there with the initiative and skill set but the vlub don't tap into them.

You may be right Yngwie,but I kept the post short rather than bore people with all the details.In my letter to the Chairman I highlighted the poor communication issue and the disconnect between the captain of the ship as it were, his bridge and those of us in the engine room. In all my different employment and management roles I learned the key to a good team and working relationship was communication.Those at board level know this so why not try and improve it. Have a section on Web site called ICT news in brief and have a printed version for those without computers. Have quarterly 'meet the board'meetings. Have fans representation at key meetings. Have suggestion boxes at the stadium.All these kind of measures would make a difference. The Director for fans representation and I believe comms, has not answered any of the Emails I sent him on this very topic.A Journalist and PR Specialist. So bottom line,poor comms,poor customer service and no respect shown for genuine fans.

Why are ICT board and club so poor at the very basics.A club will not exist without a fan base.They are the very assets every Club needs, so you have to ensure you protect your assets and build on them. Those at ICT rarely answer the phones as Highlighted by many of us.They have seven extentions and the seventh one has not existed for some time. Prior to cup final it took me six days to get a response from anyone about an online problem I had and then I got a response because I tried every extension and got someone at the Academy who was most apologetic about the clubs comms. It took me 10 days of trying to make contact about ICT posting my tickets to me. I rarely complain,but I wrote to the Chairman and the fans rep on the board highlighting the poor club communication and to date I have not had a response from either.

I phoned every day before cup final as there was a problem with my on line account.Six days before I got a response.Then 10 days following that I phoned four times a day and sent Emails asking if they could post tickets to Forres for me.On 10th day I took time off work and drove to stadium to be told we posted them .I asked why no one told me and was told we didn't think you needed a response.After final and once things calmed,I wrote to Chairman and emailed Gorfon Fyfe fans rep but alas no response from either, so I am debating not renewing my season ticket after 14 years sitting in the baltic winter weather watching what at times was very average football.Annoyingly the board know communication is do bad,but it is only the fans that raise this issue ,so what

Well no shame in result and didn't get battered.However don't think we had a shot on goal in the first half as we defended and tried to just keep Celtic out and nearly made half time at 0-0,but it was not to be.We showed Celtic too much respect and were not brave enough.Second half much better and brilliant headed goal for Mackay. You just knew we would revert to hoof ball and sure enough we did. All in all some decent play,but I feel we were just not brave enough from middle to front.

Agree with you,but getting serious engagement wi ICT is not as easy as it should be.

Agree again wi you Jaggernaut.I have never seen a business run like ICT. It's like board discuss best option and what fans want and then do the opposite.Communication is at a new low for me. Why can't the club just concentrate on getting basics right.For example first class communication,better interaction with the people who keep the club afloat each season,better use of marketing,better infrastructure and fans facilities on match day,seize every opportunity to sell the club as a community asset,welcoming young and old to come along and watch ICT. I'm thinking a group of middle aged men in grey suits Are trying to keep club in 21st century and not doing very well.They know this,but still will not change status quo

Agree totally about communication as Highlighted in my previous post, it's as if they couldn't care about loyal fans until its time for season tickets and then they'll be over us like a rash.Waiting 5 days already for a return call advising me if they will post my tickets as struggling to get off work

Nothing to lose at Hampden as long as we don't get battered,so I hope the boys enjoy the occasion and give it their best shot. Had an issue getting tickets on line and as I don't stay in Inverness, I contacted the club every day with no answer,so I left messages on answering machine at ticket office and reception and I emailed.Credit where it is due, they responded after six days and said they were busy. Communication with season ticket holders clearly a priority. Now waiting to see if they will post them to me otherwise ill take time of work and drive through to collect. Asked the question every day this week.

First half instantly forgettable. Lacked confidence, drive ,desire.Good subs for second half and with them came the fight and desire led by Carson. Much improved half and unlucky with some shots.Standside linesman had a shocker with their first goal off side and denying us a clear corner five mins from end. Not sure about offside for our second. Shaw and Henderson are in a league of their own followed by Carson and Deas.Harper had a decent game. I just cannot comment on highballs forward to their number5.We have been doing it all season. When all said and done we have a final to look forward to and debt written off.

Further to my earlier comment and I don't like being overly critical, but I wish we would stop sending high balls to Billy Mackay.They haven't worked all season and didn't work today.The Dundee number 5 won every one of them.When we sent long balls to the wingers we did better.Missed Welsh today as he can control things from the centre of the park.All said and done though a good point fought hard for.

I'll take a draw.Dundee threw everything at us first 20 mins and could have been one up but the striker missed a sitter.As the half went on we came more into it.Second half similar start for Dundee and they had all the pressure.Don't know what happened for their goal, was Ridgers unsightly by defender.Good subs by Dodds today at the right time and as the game went on I thought we could have pick pocketed them and stolen a result.At the end of the day the boys did well to get a draw and with other results going our way we have play offs in our hands.

Job done,scrappy game at times.Henderson and Shaw stand out again with Robbie Deas showing true leadership at back.Another good game for Carson.We just have to win remaining games

Good comfortable win today over a poor Raith.Carson,Ridgers,Shaw and Henderson stand out,although the team did well.Amazed how lethargic and lack of desire shown by Raith.Even the Manager and coaches spent most of the game in the dug out.It was like they accepted they are out of top four and no getting relegated,but what about passion and pride.ICT up to 5th

I think we are all agreed that was a backs to the wall performance in the second half.Great show of resilience drive and determination. Shocking red card,a yellow yes.Jay Henderson has been a blessing for us and made another assist tonight.Shaw put the ball away perfectly.Was pleased with some lovely calm play from Carson.Defenders did well and good saves from Ridgers.The first half was a hard watch though and both team were as bad as each other.Second half much much better and then with 10 men the boys put their bodies on the line.

Agree with previous comments.I thought the worst up until 10 minutes in, then we took control.I was surprised how poor Kilmarnock were,but I want to think that was because we made them look poor.Allardyce , Welsh, Henderson and Shaw stood out that bit more.Best caley performance for a long time

Just fantastic.The best team won.We were better all over the park and hit the post as well. True grit and determination shown by the boys tonight along with a good measure of skill

I was thinking I am not sure the team was set up right today.Shaw and Henderson seemed to be playing alongside each other on same wing and Harper and D Mackay were on opposite side.I always think Shaw playing out one flank and Henderson way wide on the opposite side pumping balls into Billy is best.Harper and DMackay could have played inside them also on opposite sides. We lacked a cutting edge today same as last home game.We had DMackay one on one with their goalie which came to nothing.Last home game it was Doran one on one with the goalie. Last home game we gave away two goals by silly mistakes today the same.Best hope this season is to beat Killie get Celtic or Rangers in semi,make lots of money and then rebuild the team and change the whole club strategy, vision and mission.

For the first 20 mins I was optimistic even positive and impressed.We should have been two up by half time with Billy Mckay missing a sitter. As the half progressed we started to revert to type,gave up playing football and started hoof ball.Shaw,Henderson,Allardyce and Carson looking good with nice touches.Don't know what Shaw took at half time but second half he was all over the place.Carson was my player of the team today with Allardyce and Henderson. However,I cannot understand how for the last two home league games we cannot do basic defending.Shocking final result when you consider how we started the game.Losing 3-0 at home to Hamilton is not acceptable.

Well done to ICT though none of us saw that coming,which is what makes the result so good.Unfortunately I wasn't at the game, but last week I said on here I don't know why Dodds didn't play Shaw on opposite wing from Jay Henderson from beginning of last week's game because both of them playing putting in crosses for Billy works a treat compared to hoof ball.Not that Dodds would ever listen to anything I would say understanably, but I understand this is what he did today.Billy Mackay an example to all.

Think we just have to accept we will be lucky if we make the playoffs and if we do we will not go far.This is not being negative its being realistic. Then the excuses will come starting with injuries,followed by we were unlucky in some games and probably will include we had to play young boys. Then we will be told next season will be different and we are going for it,because we are going to do exactly what we have done for the last few seasons. We will roll up and watch more of hoof the high ball to the small strikers,get ourselves frustrated,sit in the freezing cold on dark days and night and moan on here. Oh well seems the timeline for being an ICT fan is much of 'more of the same' and so it will continue until the club grasps the nettle and makes changes across the club until the whole mineset and outlook is changed for the better. Realistically we are a championship team.Is there any player fit for the Premier other than Ridgers and Deas.

I was wondering why did Dodds not play Shaw from the off as he makes a big difference running down the wing and with Jay Henderson on the opposite wing they can put good crosses in for Billy ie feed our main striker with good balls. We don't seem to have a plan.Nearly all free kicks in our own half go backwards instead of looking for a forward opportunity. We seem to lack any attacking savy. Our passing is shocking and for some reason some in the team lack real fight and desire.Realistically we are a poor Championship team and don't look at all like promotion hopefuls. Like others I don't know how long I can sit in these freezing conditions watching utter garbage.

That first half was without doubt one of our poorest.The weather was bleak and so was the play on the park.Deleany gave the ball away for first goal similar to the goal we gave away on Tuesday and then I thought he was trying to give Morton another assist with a penalty, but managed to stop himself in time.I thought the team lacked fight and drive and were second best to a poor Morton team in the first half.Deleany and Doran hooked at half time and second half showing better.I think Doran has lost his confidence.Two games running, through one on one with keeper and he fluffs it or falls over.That must be the quickest goal Cairns will ever score.Well done loon.A point gained when all said and done.We need to cutout these basic mistakes and just sharpen up all over.Show desire and roll up the sleeves and fight.
