The majority of sensible football fans sympathize with Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s current situation.
Nobody in their right mind wants to see a football club fail.
Except for one group of fans.
A group that appears to be taking sadistic pleasure in the misery Inverness and its supporters are experiencing.
This group argues that every club in the SPL in 2012 that voted against their old team’s return to the top league is fair game.
That clearly includes us, as we are always fair game.
However, their anger for us stems from decades of hostility.
But it isn’t what I’d like to discuss today.
I’d want to talk about the possibility of Inverness Caledonian Thistle going bankrupt in the next few hours.
This is according to an item in the Inverness Courier published this morning.
It would be a dark day for Scottish football if this happened.
But for Ibrox supporters, it will be a day of celebration, because they will believe that what is happening to Inverness is karma.
This is their distorted perception of the circumstance.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle are reaping the benefits of voting against their former club’s continued existence in the top division 12 years ago.
They suspect Inverness was involved in the former club’s liquidation.
Of course, they would not confess it because doing so would imply that they embrace their status as a new club.
They will tell you that they were relegated to the Scottish League’s basement flight.
Which we all know is nonsense.
Joe McHugh posted an intriguing essay on Videocelts earlier this morning.
In it, he claims that Ibrox fans put more effort into destroying Inverness Caledonian Thistle than they did in rescuing their own team in 2012.
Let that sink in.
This demonstrates how narrow-minded, resentful, hateful, and unpleasant these supporters are.
The fact that a former Ibrox hero is the manager of ICT is irrelevant; they’re all fair meat.

They deserve what is coming to them.
They are so thick, braindead, and unable to accept responsibility for their former club’s failure that they feel it is the fault of the ten clubs who voted against reinstating them in the SPL.
So now their revenge is delicious.
So sweet, they reserved complimentary tickets for a public meeting organized for Inverness fans to discuss the club’s future and potential possibilities.

As Joe McHugh stated in his post, if only they had put in as much effort to save their own club from liquidation.
Of course, they didn’t do anything wrong.
Everyone was out to get them.
They did not cheat on an industrial basis.
Nor did they defraud their adored queen of her full portion of taxes.
They did not, at one point, field an entire first eleven consisting of ineligible, wrongly registered players.
Celtic’s overconfidence was to blame for their actions.
This was the only way they could compete with us.
As previously stated, there is absolutely no self-accountability.
Instead of blaming everyone else for their inevitable extinction, perhaps they should have focused more on protecting their own club?
Do you know?
Just as Motherwell, Dundee, Hearts, Partick Thistle, and Livingston did?
They had more fans than those five teams combined just by attending games at Ibrox, but they couldn’t even convene a public meeting to discuss saving their club.
Instead, they simply yelled at everyone else, blaming everyone and everything for their situation.
And they’re still doing it.
After the horse ran from the stable, they established the R*****s Fighting Fund, which raised only £600,000.
£600,000.
To put things into context, Ibrox has 50,000 fans.
If each of the 50,000 supporters had contributed only £20, they could have raised £1,000,000.
If each had donated £50 to their favourite club, £2,500,000 could have been raised.
That’s half of what Charles Green bought the basket of assets for.

Now I’m simply talking about how many fans it takes to fill Ibrox.
Given that they are said to have a large, global fanbase, think what they could have created if they all pooled their resources together.
However, they were unable to do so.
If they’d had one leader among them with any business sense, they could have easily gathered enough money for the fans to purchase the basket of assets for the £5 million asking price Charles Green received.
Instead, they simply asked that a Sugar Daddy come along and fix everything for them.
Today, they are so vindictive, angry, and full of hatred that they have attempted to sabotage Inverness fans’ efforts to salvage their own team.
Just because Inverness Caledonian Thistle did not want them to compete in the SPL 12 years ago after they cheated on a large scale.
Because they refused to accept responsibility for their acts, the other clubs in the SPL at the time held them accountable.
They actually prevented ICT fans from attending a meeting to preserve their club.
That’s how deep rooted their hatred is for anyone out-with their narrow minded world view.
The predicament of ICT affects all of Scottish football.
They should not be just another name in history books, like Gretna.
The Scottish Football Association did everything in their ability to ensure that any Ibrox entity participated in Scottish football.
If they had their way, nothing would have changed, and Rangers 1872 would have just continued to play in the top division.
However, the clubs would not tolerate this, and for good reason.
Because Rangers 1872 infringed on sporting integrity in the Scottish game, and the rest of Scottish football refused to tolerate it.
If you ask me, the Ibrox club got off lightly, but that’s a tale for another day, and it’s been spoken about ad nauseam.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle did not cheat.
What’s their crime?
Poor money management.
Yes, there are consequences for such behavior, and they may face them.
But, just as it was in the SFA’s interests in 2012 to ensure that any Ibrox entity competed in Scottish football, shouldn’t it be in their interests to ensure that ICT continues to compete in Scottish football?
Isn’t that how it should work?
It is, but it’s not.
No doubt the SFA will be on hand to ensure ICT suffer to the letter of the rules of Scottish football.

While Ibrox fans celebrate the fact that they disrupted the fight to save the Highland club.
These fans have turned Scottish football into a bitter shithole cesspit.
They despise EVERYONE and ANYONE.
However, they are too blind to recognize that karma is catching up with them this season.
Let’s hope that by the time their 2024 accounts are disclosed, karma will have killed them.
Because that is all their resentment and hatred deserve.
I am sure this is wishful thinking on my part.
But I believe in hope.
