Had we stayed down last year we would have had to go part-time as no directors prepared to pony up anymore.....there is no comparison to be made Well there is plenty of comparison to be made with that. We have had our losses covered by directors loans ever since we were relegated from the Premiership. Now we don’t have anybody willing to do that. Now I don’t have any issue with the way Falkirk have been run. As long there is someone willing to cover the losses then fair enough. It’s risky, obviously, as it could end up like our situation but to have a Falkirk fan come in here acting all high and mighty saying they were cheated out of a Scottish Cup final while they were doing exactly the same thing is absolutely ridiculous. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really are the Rangers of the north aren’t they? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley being financial cheats, admitting that Ferguson on the football side was really bad at his job or saying that he deserved some respect for not taking his wages? You tried to lecture The Caley fanbase on having “respect” for a guy who has repeatedly shown no respect for us or the club. It became evident you didn’t know what you were talking about so you started to backtrack and deflect. Thanks for playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope...a loss that was budgeted for & being covered by a directors loan up to a preagreed amount bears no comparison to uncontained losses which would "hopefully" be covered by hopeful projects like BESS farms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, aren't doing exactly the same thing that's quite clear as you are going bust and we'll more than likely post a small profit this season. We don't owe any money to directors unlike yourselves who seem to owe millions. The two situations couldnt be more different so we have every right to feel cheated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Layne Posted Saturday at 14:22 Share Posted Saturday at 14:22 1 hour ago, Silvio Tattiescone said: ICT are just one of those nothing clubs like Gretna, Kelty, Spartans and Cove. No history, fans or solid roots in the community. When they hit financial problems, no one is going to dig them out like fans did at Dundee and Dunfermline. They'll disappear and nobody will notice, just an obscure pub quiz question in years to come. ICT will be famous only for a newspaper headline. Coincidentally, a question in today's Guardian quiz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted Saturday at 15:59 Share Posted Saturday at 15:59 (edited) A defiant win for The Caley today against all odds and humiliating defeats for Arbroath, Queen of the South, Ross County and probably the other no-marks posting in this thread which I shan't be bothering to check.

RayBees Posted Saturday at 16:49 Share Posted Saturday at 16:49 It will be wild to have Ross County, Elgin and Cove in a higher league than ICT (should they still be around) next season. Brora are early favourites for the League 2 title IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
