["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Can't see us signing Kane Hester based on the fact he's under contract at Elgin until 2023 and the pending court case around alleged fraudulent betting. 

Personally fully anticipate Todorov and McCann at Ross County on August 1st.

[The Highland Derby - Live on BBC Scotland]

Would like to see us drop Sutherland at left wing and start Storey. Want to see Sutherland do well but really don't rate him out wide. 

Expect to see Allan start ahead of MacGregor at CAM too. 

 

 

 

[The Highland Derby - Live on BBC Scotland]

Hopeful for a 1-0 win thanks to an Agent Carl own goal.

But only one thing that really matters in footballing predictions; the law of averages. Haven't beaten County over 90 minutes since 2016 so we're due a win but I read they haven't beaten us in the cup(?) so they're due a win. 

Conclusion, 13 cans of Innis & Gunn and 1-0 County AET - Jordan White. 

 

[Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons]

I see that (hero) Liam Polworth is out of contract at the end of the season but that Motherwell have hardly met expectations this season, just wondering what the general consensus among Motherwell fans is about him now? Likely to be booted or kept on? 

[Buckie Thistle vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle - Scottish Cup March 23rd]

Toshney, Doran, Keatings, MacDonald out injured, Todorov subbed off with what looked like a niggle on Saturday, heard that Duffy and Devine have picked up knocks combined with Vincent on compassionate leave plus the suspensions. Really bare now, would like to see at least two out of Harkness, Nicholson, Hyde and Fyffe feature tonight considering how intense our schedule has been, I'm imagining some players could do with a rest. And considering how depleted the squad has been at points and the fact that three of them turn 20 this year, hardly 'youth' anymore, surprised we haven't seen more of them. 

Scrappy and depressing 1-0 win incoming. 
 

[Buckie Thistle vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle - Scottish Cup March 23rd]

Highland vs Moray in the ultimate Thistle showdown. Lose and we'll produce one of our worst results ever or win to be rewarded with a potential scalping away in Dingwall.

At EEP I think your record will be pretty much hit or miss but at home you definitely have a massive advantage over us.

I watched your game against Raith and, despite being a man down, they totally dictated things, but created very little clear chances. There is some obvious flaws in your team that we have to exploit, the centre-backs being the main one for me.

The attacking line behind Wighton of Thomas-F Murray-Banks is tasty and it is only a matter of time before someone takes a good scudding off us at EEP. I say EEP because Crawford tends to shit the bed with his tactics away from home when he has no reason to; we have a decent team.

 

As you may know, if you give it enough time Brad Mckay and Danny Devine will exploit themselves 

[Dastardly Dangerous Dunfermline -vs- Intelligent Iconic Inverness]

Never ever fancy us to beat Dunfermline, we've improved in the past two matches against Raith and always play better against sides that try and play, that being said a Dunfermline win is on the cards.

Is there anyone on here that is a member of the ICT Centenary Club able to tell me how much it costs? I'm not currently a member but happily willing to join, particularly if it helps the club, can't see prices on the wesbite or does the cost vary depending on what each individual agrees? 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

I know the article in the Herald said that Wilson and Esson would be in charge for Alloa and Hearts but seeing as this appointment was fairly rushed, anyone know who will be managing the team on Friday night?

Gardiner said here that Cowdenbeath may be used as a test event for streaming and prices for ICT streamed matches were likely to be around £10. However there's been no further word on this so I would imagine that we will likely be streaming the first league game in a couple of weeks rather than the League Cup.

Thank you, great podcast too! 

["The ICT Thread - The Championship Years"]

Anyone know if we'll be streaming our match at home to Cowdenbeath this Tuesday? and costs if so?

Hello,

A slightly random question, were these hats ever for sale? As I remember being about 7 or 8 and been given it for free on the way to a match and just curious to know if it was an initiative or some random stranger

any news of new home kits?

From the information I have we should have for next season (contract ends) - Mark Ridgers (2020), Gary Warren (2019),  Coll Donaldson (2020), Carl Tremarco (2020), Riccardo Calder (2019),  Liam Polworth (2019), Charlie Trafford (2020), Joe Chalmers (2019), Zak Elbouzedi (2019), Nathan Austin (2019), George Oakley (2019).

Out of contract - Ryan Esson, Stephen Foster, Brad McKay, Collin Seedorf,  Iain Vigurs, Aaron Doran, Jake Mulraney, Daniel MacKay, Conner Bell.

Out on loan - Owain Fon Williams (still contracted for another season), Daniel Hoban, Cameron MacKay and John Baird (contracts finish end of May)

Anyone missed out or any corrections?

Its difficult for me to assess the players out of contract whether I would prefer that they will be signed up for next season as I have seen very little football this season, though have heard positives about Daniel MacKay and that he is one for the future.

 

Jack Brown (he came on in the 82nd when we lost 3-1 away to Falkirk in January and frankly made our assist of the season for Daniel Mackay, if there were such a thing) I think is out of contract at the end of season.

I know we've been hurt by a massive 4 year deal before but I'd be tempted with one for Mackay. Vigurs and Polworth have been linking really well and along with Donaldson are clearly our best players so hopefully a 1 year extension for Iain. Connor Bell who was our only vocal point for a while back in Oct/Nov is now starting on the bench and when an attacking change is made Daniel Mackay is preferred over him to come on,  though he got a start against Brechin at home and was very energetic but it's hard to tell against Brechin how good anyone is. Our strikers and play in the final 3rd is our biggest weakness when we're on the front foot, 1 or 2 needed in the summer so wouldn't be devastated to see Bell go. 

We desperately need a new RB, Seedorf has horrific positioning off the ball, just drifts off and Brad Mckay's crossing  is shocking from RB compared to David Raven especially, I'd be happy to keep him as a back up CB as he was good there during our clean sheet run and he has good passion for the club which is perhaps blinding me a little but I can't take the pain of him punting a ball into the South Stand turnstiles from deep any longer. 

Doran definitely going to be off to some English League 1 club soon or County I reckon as much as I'd love him to stay.

Ryan Esson as a coach in some aspect would be a nice touch if financially feesible, his bonkers performance in the Highland Derby match for Charity was a picture that painted a thousand words of his current ability. No idea if Cammy Mackay is good enough for Scotland or Inverness City. I'd like to keep Esson for fan morale to warm up in front of the travelling support purely for funsies.
