STFU

I definitely don't subscribe to the notion that football clubs can do no wrong so long as they appear to be acting in self interest It's also reasonable to question facts being presented by those who have a history of twisting the facts! The only conclusion I want to reach is that our club is in safe hands. Do you think it is?

People and businesses on Facebook claiming that they were invoicing and being paid (in part) by the club in relation to the concerts. Also, and this is undeniable fact, online ticket sales were through the clubs ticketing account and platform. On the above basis, there is clear cross-trading and it is hard to argue that club and concert companies are unrelated. As I said previously, Scot Gardiner intimated on the podcast that the club had been paid for services provided. Further indication that the companies were related and/or offering favourable terms in their dealings. Baffles me that anyone thinks this is defensible.

I wouldn't advocate for anyone at the club just now being manager long term, but it's clear that Dodds has become unpopular with sizeable sections of the fanbase and there are stories coming out that he is also not rubbing along too well with the players. When a fox gets in with the chickens, you don't leave him there because you can't afford to fix the hole in the fence! You get rid and patch it as best you can with what you have in the short term. On that basis, we need to use what we have to get through the rest of the season. From there we can take stock and put longer term solutions in place.

Your house, your rules, but I did NOT make any personal dig towards a club official.

I keep seeing this line being pedalled. He has 5 or 6 months left on his contact. If we are so broke that this amount would bankrupt us, then we're heading into administration anyway. Let him join the queue with the rest of our creditors to get paid and it'll cost less in the long run. Fact is, he's still in a job because his mates are looking after him, and themselves, to the detriment of the club.

Whatever, keep on kissing ass and defending the indefensible as the club walks straight into disaster

He was a front man holding shares in trust for a buyer who was deemed not a fit and proper person to own a club.

Grassa was announced on 2nd Nov, filing says he didn't join unil 12th Dec.

Jealous of Partick. A boardroom clearout (and take the CEO with them) would be a welcome sight at our place

Someone should tell the club they need to register new directors with companies house as neither this, or the previously announced new director (or the, not yet announced, resignations), are showing there.

Concert company now liquidated. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/inverness-caley-thistle-concert-company-goes-into-liquidatio-297159/ One of the directors resigned in September, but that won't protect him if the reported legal action comes to anything.

Sounds like the team did themselves proud. It was also a welcome change to hear the club's most qualified coach (and one of the most qualified in the country) giving meaningful and coherent comments to the media about how his players performed. Can we get him every week please? In the dugout as well as talking to the media

It's all photos of our U18s

The club are kicking up a stink about not being able to bring back the loan players and having to play U18s. A wee reminder that ALL the loan players are part of the U18 squad! Just another moan to distract from the reality that is the shambles we have become.

Dare I suggest a call to bring back CaleyD, wherever he is?

Really disappointed in this podcast and how the guys allowed it to turn into the Scot Gardiner Show, in particular the guy who does the press conferences who seems to like tickling Gardiners balls as much as he does Dodds' balls. The stink of lads culture eminating from everything to do with the club just now is extraordinary. Is it really worth selling out for a few comp tickets and free shirts? We learned nothing about the clubs involvement in the battery thing. It's nt being built at the stadium, the club are not running it, the club do not own the land it is being built on, so why are we involved and how do we benefit financially? Are we just whoring out the club name to try and soften public opinion on a potentially controversial project? Similar to the Red John park and ride deal. The club do not own the car parks, so if they are being rented to this company then any income for the club is at the gift of those who do own the car parks, and those are the people who will have negotiated the contract. On both of the above, it seems that Gardiner is doing a lot of taking credit for the effort of others. In regards to the roof on the West Stand. If it is so important, and worth so much to the club, that Kindergarten 94 are there creating an atmosphere over there, then make the investment yourself. You don't see Tesco building grocery aisles in the car park and then telling customers that if they want to shop in the dry then they have to pay for a roof! Why does Nessie need a PVG certificate? They're not being left alone with kids. Every child or vulnerable person in the stadium has to be accompanied. Calling BS on his excuses here. Similar with the holding a Xmas Party. We have a community organisation where most staff will be PVG checked and who you'd think would be charged with the organisation of such an event, so calling BS on his excuses for not doing this as well. Reluctant to criticise the Supporters Trust rep as she didn't really get a chance to say much or question answers given. In regards to the concert stuff. He seemed to suggest that the club had been paid by the concert company for the services they had supplied. If so, then the club HAVE benefited to the detriment of all those who haven't been paid either in part or in full. Disgusting and it's no surprise we can't get local companies to take up things like matchday hospitality. Problems about increased utility prices etc are the same for every club, why would they impact us more than others? The cost of scans, surgeries etc for players would only be a problem if we weren't insured. Is that the case? Somehow the podcast to answer all the questions fans had/have seems to have created even more questions!

Seems they haven't bothered coming back for the second half!

Was late finishing work, and we lost a goal while I was on the way to the match. Changed my mind and headed for home. Can't even torture myself on Twitter updates as we've only had 3. Kick Off, conceded goal and HT. You know it's bad when even the club's own social media can't muster anything to post about. Anyone at the game want to tell us that it's not that bad and we're unlucky to be losing?

Thank you for strengthening my argument. I love that your snowflake comment makes you the very definition of a snowflake

2 points from 18 and we have some fans trying to tell others that they have no cause for complaint? Can I also highlight that we started the season with only 5 points from the first 18 and that was before the "injury crisis". Not suggesting that injuries aren't having an impact, but there's evidence to show that we are just as capable of poor form when we have a mostly intact squad. Can I also echo what was said above about the worry that we are playing players who aren't fully recovered. That is irresponsible. What is even worse is the admission from our Manager that we are utilising players when he has identified that it is detrimental to their mental health. Has he forgotten the events that caused his predecessor to stand down and open the door for him to get the job? It's just a game of football. It's entertainment. We should not be consciously and deliberately subjecting anyone to undue physical or mental risks. What's just as bad is that the club, including the Sports Director who suffered from mental health issues, is allowing this. ....or it's purely soundbite to support his outrage that the SFA/SPFL didn't allow him to recall loan players? Either way, it's just another matter that shows the utter shambles that is the running of ICTFC these days.

2012-13 when (from what I can see) we had a smaller squad and were playing in a higher league. We had an awful pre-season with injuries and started the season proper with 4 or 5 lads on the treatment table, and it only got worse from there. Somehow we still managed to finish 4th

You're trolling me, right?

Uncomfortable viewing of a man who clearly doesn't want to be talking to the press.

Not sure the St Mirren scenario creates any precedence (one was caused by a global pandemic, the other by our inability to ensure players are match fit and manage their rehabilitation) and, when our request is denied, I await the cries of how SFA/SPFL are biased towards teams outside the central belt and how they will do anything to stop us being promoted back to the premiership. Also hearing that at least 2 players are sidelined due to injuries to Dodds' ego and not to themselves.
