  1. If the club aims to be promoted, then we can't have a manager who has, for two seasons in a row, overseen substantial non-winning runs. It's as simple as that!
  2. In this day and age, you'd think clubs (not just us) would be more cautious of what information they were providing for minors. We're told not to put even the most basic of child's info online, but here we have; a photo, full name, age, school and all the interests a potential groomer would need to get chatting to them!
  3. Worried that we seem to be chasing young loan signings. We already have plenty of prospects in that department, what we need is some experienced players/leaders on the park to compliment them. Actually, what we need is a new leader in the dugout, but
  4. Not in the slightest
  5. Given how vital Dodds claimed having these youngsters back was, I was surprised to see him comment to the press that they may not even play . Hopes of a double figure victory have been dashed . We need the game to be on. It's ok saying it gives players a chance to get back, but going by the recent expert article on the negative impact of fixture congestion on player welfare/health, it doesn't seem a sensible solution.
  6. We're currently on relegation form, so it definitely wouldn't be any worse.
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Your house, your rules, but I did NOT make any personal dig towards a club official.
  11. 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.
  12. Whatever, keep on kissing ass and defending the indefensible as the club walks straight into disaster
  13. 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.
  14. Grassa was announced on 2nd Nov, filing says he didn't join unil 12th Dec.
  15. Jealous of Partick. A boardroom clearout (and take the CEO with them) would be a welcome sight at our place
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. Dare I suggest a call to bring back CaleyD, wherever he is?

    New ICT Podcast

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