naegoodinthedark Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Cheerio lads. Genuinely sad to see you go down, but sure you'll be back up soon enough. Every season I hope Kilmarnock will just GTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Last time ICT went down, they came straight back up, didn't they? Aye but we're something of a shambles right now. We might get into the playoffs but I'd be very surprised if we bounced back first time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they had some real quality in the squad in these days - experienced players such as Tokely, Munro, Duncan, McBain, Hastings, Golabeck along with rising stars like Shinnie, Rooney, Hayes, Nick Ross. Butcher did succeed in turning them into a team of battlers who were a pleasure to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't know which Shinnie you meant but still 2/3 regardless).It should have been hamilton. Foran is an arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossDee01 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 This thread has a serious lack of Dross County fans. Boring c***s. Inverness are okay, though. I'm sure y u guys will be back in no time. Would love to sit here and take the piss, but you lot are alright.Probably also got something to do with the fact that we should be in your position right now.

Can't really have any complaints. It's been a shambles of a season. More 3pm kick offs and a few new places to visit won't distract from the hammer blow that is relegation. A massive problem for the club now. I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again - Foran has had an easy ride this season - I don't think he's a bad guy, but ICT have been relegation candidates pretty much from day one. Inverness have been a great addition to the top league since they came up - when we meet again, I hope to Christ it's in the top league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Our relegation is well deserved and has been coming for months. We just haven't been able to string together any sort of run. We currently have twelve contracted players - Fon Williams, Esson, Warren, Mckay, Tremarco, Raven, Draper, Polworth, Doran, Vigurs, Mulreany and Boden. I was speaking to RiG the other night about the club and we haven't really improved the squad since the summer of 2013, when we signed Watkins, Tremarco, Williams, Vincent and, later in that season, Tansey. The window before 2014/15 we didn't sign anyone because we had a settled squad and the last couple of seasons we have signed utter dross which has lead to the massive drop off that we've seen. We need to freshen up the squad but the financial blow of going down makes that very difficult to do and I don't have any real faith in the current management, both in the dugout and the boardroom, to do that. We don't seem to have a plan for what players to sign and how to build the team and once we've got them we haven't been organised or coached properly. From what we hear there are changes coming behind the scenes - last time we went down we gambled on a lot of one year contracts and took the losses, I wonder if there's the apetite to do that again.

Silverton End Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What are the Pubs like up there, any alcohol outlets near the Stadium?

Bri RCFC Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 When do we get to see the chains and locks on the gates live on Sky Sports News? Looking forward to seeing Draper in a County Shirt next season though, maybe Meekings too. For what it's worth your BOD are a fking disgrace, always have been, the sooner the club actually engages with the people of Inverness the better. On a final note please keep the Pride of the highlands signs and flags they're hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggie#Wearethehighlands Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ah well, cheerio Caley (for now), I'll miss the derbies. As others have said, I think your board have let you down badly, makes me appreciate Roy's insightful guidance of our club even more. I thought Foran always came across well actually (apart from the apples comment), although it was always going to be a big ask for him as a rookie. Being lumbered with Rice can't have helped. Given a clearout and a fresh start I think he could come good. Tansey saying he can look in the mirror at himself maybe says more to me than anything else, as a player who I always looked on as a massive threat in the derbies, etc, he's been a complete nonentity this season. Draper, too hasn't been half the player he was, although at least he looks like he still gives a ****! Poor man management or deeper seated problems? One thing is for sure, the team deserves better support from the businesses and public in Inverness, why that isn't there I do not know. FWIW I think you'll come back a stronger and better club.
