They have to go as well.

Not many comments. Everyone else given up? I'm on the verge of that. Didn't even look at the score until now, and it was as I expected. Hate the orange top. Turning into 'Highland Huns' by these a###holes upstairs. 

Defo won't be Kirkcaldy. 

RC are at home, so Dingwall it is. 

Usual happy times at 4.45pm on a Saturday. Not!!!!

It’s amazing how Some people just see things so differently. (Pint of whatever they’re drinking please ) . Going absolutely nowhere if left like it is . 

We aren't going nowhere, we're going down.

Plus it's not just Dodds. It's Robbo and his second job, CEO and his dictatorship style, a SLO who is about as reachable and answerable as Putin, etc etc.

I am not spending one more penny on ICT as long as the current set up remains. 

I feel the same toxicity in the air as there was in the lead up to the merger. 

Same 'well do as we like' attitude coming from within ICT now, at there was in 1993/1994, which turned a lot of folk against the 'new' club. 

I checked out for a time back then, and I'm doing the same now.

Sad, but I just don't respect the club at present and I'm losing more and more interest in it with each passing day.

Any luck?

Don't ask me lol. I didn't go. And I'm in no rush to go back. 

I know I'll get a slagging for not supporting my team, but I've lost interest with the crap hoofball on offer and 'jobs for the boys' set up that ICT is now.

Today, I stayed away. Nice weather. Cycled my bike. Chilled out and enjoyed a positive afternoon away from hoofball. Didn't miss it at all. Quite sad indeed as in seasons past wouldn't have missed a home match for anything. 

Give me a shout when Dodds and Gardiner are gone please.

Can someone tell me where the happy clappy section of the ground is? I’m fed up being berated by angry cursing miserable old gits when I cheer the team.

No aspersions on the type of coarse fans I’d leave behind (Some old Howden Shed guys could come to mind but I’m not sure). 

So reading other posters there is a more pleasant area in the ground where the finer quantities of the sport is appreciated!

No.

Use your ticket for Saturday and make your anger vocal .Hell John Robertson May make a guest appearance.

I no longer have a 'ticket' and I'm no longer spending my money on the 's##t show' ICT has become.  

The 'football' no longer entertains me and those running the club disgust me. 

I've had enough. End of.

The start to this season is not the start any of us wanted. none of us know what really is going on behind closed doors at ICT,we can speculate etc,but whatever is going on the Chairman and board have to just get a grip of the situation and review why the Sporting Director spends as much time commenting on County rather than focussing all attention on getting ICT out of the mire by assisting Dodds and finding good standard championship players,because those with high aspirations of playing at the top level are not going to come to ICT.

Dodds has a two year contract now and is going nowhere,we have to just accept that. The decision was not ours to make, although It beggars belief that after the last two seasons he was not offered a rolling contract.

The CEO needs to get out from his office, speak with supporters and fans,(the real supporters and fans) listen to them and show some leadership off the park, then communicate his plans and actions to us all,including accepting that the club is in a difficult place. However, he must have a plan for revcovery.

The assistant and coaches are going nowhere if Dodds is not going,so frankly it looks like we have to deal with the hand we have.

As supporters, we should fully back the boys on the park as on paper we are a pretty good team and should not be languishing bottom with the players we have. We are,so something is clearly not right and perhaps that is down in part to confidence within the team. 

The Chair and Board don't read this forum they say,but the players maybe do, so how about this Saturday coming we go out there and support the boys on the pitch,give them encouragement and see if we cannot scrape a win and then with a win under our belt we can cool off,think rationally and come up with a startegy,plan of action that we can put to those running the club. Yes, I mean we have a voice,let's use it,but when we do, use it wisely in a well balanced and constructive debate/arguement.

Fair points. But I've had enough. I'm neither spending/wasting my money, or time, anymore, watching 'Doddsball' or funding the 'ICT Boys Club' that the CEO, Director of Football etc, that there appears to be in place. 

Not sure when I'll be back watching ICT matches.

I'll spend my time doing something that doesn't leave me deflated and grumpy come 4.45pm on a Saturday (or whatever time of the day or day of the week).

What a bunch of moaners! A close match by all accounts and just loosing by the odd goal away from home to a newly promoted team isn’t the end of our promotion bid! 
Hitting the bar twice and a one man advantage was an opportunity missed to take a point back up the road.
BD and SG are going nowhere, we should back them fully! 
I don’t think we are to far off turning the corner. With a turn of luck we will get the result the team and BD rightly deserves and the fans will forget this early blip!

bc = Billy Dodds. Unmasked you pal

Something needs done!!

Nope, because that would mean communicating with the fans.

It would have to be a walkout for me. I think if it was a sit in, the powers that be would just leave and let the minions to clear it up.

Fair point. 

Walk out at 60 minutes? Who will join in? Might even catch thd end of the shinty.

All go to the shinty instead 

Good idea

Time to make our voices heard. Not wanting anything damaging or criminal in anyway whatsoever, but something needs to be done as we are heading for League 1.

Suggestions?

- Mass walk out at 60 minutes?

- Sit in at full time?

AI keep seeing folk saying 'we've no money' yet we have money for sporting director and video analysts etc. Have we seen any notable improvements on the pitch since their inception? 

And a fitness coach. We have been second best / lacking sharpness from the off this season. Plus he was in place when we had all the injuries last season. Another of Dodds mates and jobs for the boys.

Can’t be worse than crying at the the crap on show today!

It wasn't. I enjoyed the shinty. Refreshing afternoon and positive. Can't say I'm in any rush to waste my money watching ICT, with a crap head coach, narcissistic CEO and feeling peed off at 4.45pm. 

Plenty more to do on a Saturday afternoon folks. Give it a try.

Who made the really bad error for the goal? 

Scot Gardiner in giving Dodds a new 2 year deal.
