The Wyness Shuffle is back, and this time it’s serious. Join Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Andrew Young, and guest panellists Scott Bamby and the P&J’s Paul Chalk for a serious chat about all things Inverness Caledonian Thistle. We look back on mad March, look forward to the cup final, analyse the forthcoming league run ins for both ICT and Stenhousemuir, get an exclusive chat with star striker Alfie Bavidge, talk about American things, and re-enter the Fanzone. Plus Bad Boys, The Wire, hot dogs, pies in rolls, and Lorraine Kelly. Serious business. 02.36: Seriously Good and Seriously Bad What do the chaps think is seriously good about ICT, Scottish football, or global politics right now and what is seriously bad? 09.12: Game By Game We talk about the month of March overall, and our 10 points vs Stenny’s 11, before going into the details of the 1-1 draws with Queen of the South, Cove and Alloa, then seriously waxing lyrical about Zambian international footballer Chanka Zimba, goal machine Alfie Bavidge, the other awesome Alfie, and the return to form of Oscar MacIntyre. 29.17: What Ya Sayin Alfie Bavidge? Serious Goalscorer Alfie Bavidge sits down for an honest chat with Stevie. Why have we dropped so many points recently? What is the squad doing to get back to their levels? What’s his personal aims for the remainder of the season? And where does his future lie? 50.15: American Things ‘He just likes American things? What like Dr Pepper? Tastes like fizzy Benelin.’ That was Alan Partridge’s take on American things, but Caley Thistle have their own view. And we give ours, plus discussing if Ross Munro has ever eaten a hotdog. 59.29 Scottish Prostate Cancer Initiative As one of the first football clubs in Scotland to get behind the Scottish Prostate Cancer Initiative, Inverness Caledonian Thistle will host a free PSA testing event at the Sarens PSG Stadium on Wednesday 29 April. 1.06.59: Fanzone ICT fan Rob Worthing enters the Fanzone to talk about his newly found love with the football club and why football is good for mental health. 1.18.29: Cup Final We talk all things KDM Cup Final on Sun 5 April at Firhill Park, Glasgow. It’s Raith Rovers v ICT, as we aim to win our fourth (really our third) challenge cup.  We look at opponents Raith Rovers, and discuss Caley Thistle fans having had it so good with cup finals over the years. 1.29.46: The Final Five Five league games left. We look at Scott Kellacher’s selection headaches for the Stenhousemuir match and run the rule over the options. We look at Stenny’s opponents for the run-in before trying to work out what we need to do in the final four matches (post Stenny). Spoiler: its win them all. This just got real. There’s it.

Their feet have webbing between all four toes. They are excellent divers. They are not shags. No, it’s not a description of typical Ross County centre forwards; it’s a description of cormorants, and they are here for the Caley Thistle title run-in. Join Moff, Sandy, Lee and AY as they reflect on a tricky three weeks in League One, welcome a new feathered friend to the Sarens PSG Stadium and offer up the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let’s shuffle! 00:00:58 – Welcome, and some stuff about doubles. Moff introduces the panel and in the afterglow of ICT’s KDM trophy semi-final triumph, which put the team in line for two trophies this season, we talk doubles. 00:05:20 – Game by Game. We discuss the consecutive league draws with Stenhousemuir and Kelty Hearts, the 2-1 defeat of Ayr in the KDM trophy that took place in between them, look ahead to the cup final, and discuss an unexpected presence on the touchline during the Stenny game. 00:05:20 Kelty 0-0 ICT. Not much happened.  00:13:45 Ayr 1-2 ICT, with bonus KDM trophy final chat. 00:35:42 ICT 1-1 Stenhousemuir, with bonus cormorant chat. 00:44:07 – What yi sayeen? – Mitchell Robertson. When he signed on loan from Celtic’s B team at the start of this season, it was assumed Mitchell Robertson was just here as cover, but he has established himself as a regular starter for ICT in the league at left back, and in the KDM trophy at centre half. Stevie spoke to the now-Livingston loanee about his career in youth football, his path to Inverness, his impressions of the club, the city and his teammates. 01:05:00 – The Club Interview – Gordon Nicolson. Combing the roles of first team coach and academy coach, Gordon Nicholson is an unsung but integral part of Scott Kellacher’s backroom team. Moff chatted to him about his career to date, the young players he has helped bring through, working with Scott Kellacher and the club’s footballing ethos. 01:29:45 – The X-files. For some players, a spell with Caley Thistle has been a springboard for success with bigger clubs; for others, it has been the start of a slide into non-league obscurity. In the first instalment of a new feature, we look at the varying fortunes of several players since leaving Inverness. 01:43:22 – League Lookahead. We preview March’s league games against Montrose, Cove Rangers, Peterhead, Alloa and Queen of the South, and briefly discuss Stenhousemuir’s fixtures in the same period. There's it. 

Welcome back to The Wyness Shuffle. Caley Thistle are back at the top of League One and The Wyness Shuffle is back from a short hiatus to break down all the recent action and look forward to a lot more. Join regular shufflers Andrew Moffat, Sandy Sutherland, Stevie Riley and Andrew Young along with debutant panellist Jack Michael as they discuss the merits of garlic bread and single party state socialism, and some football.  00.56: Hello.  02.00: 2090 Miles. The Road To The Top is a long one. As Scott Kellacher and the players can attest. As of late January 2026, Inverness Caledonian Thistle travelled approximately 2,090 miles for their away league and cup fixtures, primarily due to a challenging run of away games over the winter period.  09.21: Game by Game: We focus on the recent 3-0 win over East Fife and the 2-2 draw at Palmerston Park v Queen of the South. Then we delve into the football over the first month of the year. Bavidge goals, Chanka's improvements, Alfie Stewart's return, Alloa turnaround, Smokin Joe, and the return of Ben Brannan.  43.43: What Ya Sayin Calum Macleod? He’s now made 59 appearances to date, with 30 of them coming this season, mostly in the starting XI, and mostly at right back, even though he is a central midfielder by trade. And he’s scored 6 goals. Stevie spoke with Calum Macleod. 1.07.28: The Club: New Community Trust training hub, Stagecoach deal, land!  1.14.25: Fanzone: Welcome to the Fanzone, as Sandy talks with Liam MacLeod.  1.31.08: League Lookahead: Hamilton A, Stenny H, KDM semi, Kelty A.  There's it. 

Treat this episode of The Wyness Shuffle as a massive Christmas selection box of ICT goodies that you can gorge yourself on over the entire festive period. We’ve put together our biggest festive pod to date, mainly due to some brilliant interviews with some ICT legends on and off the pitch. We welcome The Three Wise Men of Danny Devine, David Wotherspoon, and Joe Chalmers for a surprisingly competitive Christmas Quiz; new ICT Director George Moodie joins us to describe his early days on the board of the football club; and Caley Thistle stalwart of 20 years, ICT Community Development Trust Chief Executive Craig Masterton makes his pod debut to talk about the their outstanding commitment to social inclusion. Plus all the usual festive features and annual gubbins you’d expect. 01:10 Hello and straight into annual ICT festive puns. Hello Sleigh Keogh! 04:10 Summer Football? With the recent Tranent call-offs and more no doubt expected we have a quick chat about the pros and cons of summer vs winter football. 08:14 Game by Game. Discussion of two games as Hamilton’s woes continue as ICT smash them 4-0 and rack up consecutive four goal wins at home, and the Tranent game finally goes ahead in Haddington of all places. 33:43 The Club. We take out regular look behind the scenes at The Club, looking at all things ICT on and mainly off the park, but we don’t do that through our uninformed eyes, we do it through one of the four Directors of what is the new look Caley Thistle. Chairman of the ICT Supporters Trust and now one of four official directors of ICTFC. Mr George Moodie 1:08:38 Xmas Games of Old. A walk down a snowy lane of memories as we look back at some of the great festive games of old. Vestiges of Xmas’ past at Kingsmills and Telford Street maybe, blizzard conditions amid the banks of the moray firth at Caledonian Stadium, and dark, delayed, dreadful conditions for away games that were worth it in the end for football memories that have not faded. 1:17:31 Quiz! And now The Magi, the Three Kings, the Three Wise Men of ICTFC. Like Jesus on Christmas morning (although it wasn’t called that then, just Tuesday) we are delighted to have been visited by three of the wisest souls to don a Caley Thistle shirt: Danny Devine, David Wotherspoon, and Joe Chalmers. And it gets competitive! 01:56:46 WhatYiSayin Craig Masterton from the ICT Community Development Trust? 17462 participants this year! 1713 hours of free football! The ICT Community Development Trust's primary objective is to promote and improve the physical and mental health of both young and old through activity and provide an opportunity for everyone in Inverness and surrounding areas to participate in football! So we talked to Craig! 02:34:02 Gifts for Gaffers! What Xmas presents would we give to the assorted rogues gallery of League One managers? Sledges, fish suppers and an instruction manual for Keith Bray. 2:36:14 League Lookahead: We lookahead to the Dumbarton game that has already been played! We thought we’d do alright given the recent comments of their manager. We also look ahead to all the Festive Football that is the games in Stenhousemuir, Montrose, the first home of the 2026 v Peterhead, and AY’s gig at the Market Bar at 10pm on Sat 20 Dec! 02:45:29 2026 Lookahead! Do we add any players? Do we lose any? And what lies ahead? We think we know. 02:48:16 The 2025 Story of Inverness Caledonian Thistle via an ill-advised Xmas (w)rap. There’s it! Thanks for listening throughout 2025!  Merry Christmas!

When Scotland’s men last played at a World Cup finals, ICT had just completed their first-ever season in Scotland’s third tier. Twenty-seven years later, both sides are on the up again. At the end of a week where Scotland’s men grasped the thistle to take their place among football’s elite once more, and the Caley Jags recorded their biggest league win of the season, the TWS team reconvened to record the much-delayed November podcast. Join Moff, Sandy, Stevie, AY and first-time panellist James Fraser as they review and celebrate the recent results and, along with three superb exclusive interviews, offer up the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let’s shuffle! 00:00:58 – World Cup-themed welcome. Moff introduces the panel and we look back at Scotland’s momentous victory against Denmark from an Inverness perspective. 00:10:06 – Kings in the North vanquish Queen of the South. An in-depth review of Saturday’s demolition of the doonhamers. We focus on Adam Mackinnon’s influence; tweaks to the formation; Chanka Zimba’s emergence as first-choice striker; Scott Kellacher’s view of the game; the underwhelming form of Queen of the South; and whether Kell’s ICT have now truly clicked as a team. 00:35:15 The KDM Trophy. The tournament that almost everyone dismissed as a waste of energy has proved to be surprisingly entertaining. As ICT enter the knockout stages after six straight league-phase wins, we discuss how far the club might go and the benefits it could have for our players. 00:42:30 – Where are they now? - Keith Bray. No player lit up the post-Ferguson ICT team more than Keith Bray, whose dazzling form won him a January move to Dunfermline Athletic. Keith spoke to Stevie about growing up in Stornoway, coming through the ranks at Caley Thistle, breaking into the first team and why his move to Fife was dependent on coming back to Inverness on loan. 01:10:32 – Funny things that happen over the bridge. As it’s looking increasingly likely that ICT will be playing Ross County at least four times next season, we pay a rare visit to our near-neighbours and search in vain for a coherent footballing philosophy. 01:17:34 – What yi sayeen? – Charlie Christie. At the end of a big week for his family, Mr Inverness took the time to talk to Stevie about working with Scott Kellacher to build a winning squad, how Alan Savage’s vision for ICT is taking shape, and what Scotland and Ryan qualifying for the World Cup means to him. 01:55:42 Scottish Cup third round special, with Brian Johnston. No, not the AC/DC frontman… Saturday 29th November brings another first for Caley Thistle as the team takes on Lowland League side Tranent in the Scottish Cup. With 400 ICT supporters set to descend upon East Lothian for the occasion, Moff went along to the Belters’ game against Caledonian Braves to interview chairman Brian Johnston, scope out the opposition and find out everything you need to know about Forester’s Park and the surrounding pubs. 02:25:19 – League (and Cup) Lookahead. A very quick preview of the upcoming games against Alloa, Tranent, East Fife and Dumbarton. There's it! 

As we digest the first quarter of the season, Caley Thistle’s 100% away league record lies in a shallow grave in Cumbernauld. Why is North Lanarkshire where ICT’s dreams go to die? Why does no-one ever choose a pie for their last meal on earth? Why does The Climb make tough guys cry? And why should you never accept a ride in a boat from two foam-rubber Loch Ness Monsters? In our latest pod, Godfather Andrew Moffat and capos Sandy Sutherland, Stevie Riley and Andrew Young get stuck into all these questions and serve up the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let’s shuffle! 00:00:56 – Introduction and Hamilton Postmortem. Moff introduces the panel and we analyse Saturday’s disappointing defeat in Cumbernauld and how the team might respond to it. 00:22:40 – First Quarter Report Card. We are 25% of the way through league season 2025-26, so it seems like a good time to look back and evaluate how ICT are doing so far. Who is top of the class? Who could do better? And who wins the prize for perfect attendance? 00:36:58 – Game by Game. The panel looks back at our recent league wins against East Fife and Queen of the South, a demolition of Dundee B in the KDM Evolution Challenge Cup Trophy, and considers whether new mascots Nessie and Nessa would be more at home in New Jersey. 00:48:09 – What yi sayeen? Remi Savage. Duncan Ferguson didn’t do much right at ICT, but he did bequeath us Remi Savage, one of our standout players since signing in January 2024. Remi spoke to Stevie about coming through at Liverpool and Newcastle, moving to Inverness, surviving administration, and his very positive feelings about the ICT squad and manager. 01:20:30 – The Club. Stevie gets emotional over Kell’s love of The Climb; we discuss Alan Savage’s plans for the future of the club as he takes full control of ICT; and we look forward to good times later this week, as Moff hosts the ICT Supporters’ Trust’s Scottish Cup 10th Anniversary night. 01:31:48 – What yi sayeen? David Proctor. An important contributor to two successful promotion campaigns and with more than 100 top-flight appearances for ICT under his belt, David Proctor is something of an unsung hero in Inverness. Now in his third spell with the club, having exchanged his boots for the physio’s table, David tells Stevie about life after leaving Caley Thistle, why he has returned, and how being a former player has helped him in his new career. 02:02:47 – League Lookahead. A very quick skip through the upcoming games against Forfar in the Challenge Cup and Kelty Hearts and Peterhead in the league. There's it!  Whaddayagottado?

With administration over, Alan Savage confirmed as outright owner and chairman, Kell and Billy in the dugout, points accumulating and crowds on the rise, Inverness Caledonian Thistle has finally got its soul back. And it doesn’t just have its soul; it also has Sole! In this first full-size podcast since the 2025-26 league season began, Moff, Sandy, Stevie and AY discuss the impact made by the rocket man from Watford and we hear from Liam himself; we also have a more sedate chat with Joe Chalmers, analyse games past and games to come, and shoehorn in the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let’s shuffle! 00:00:58 – Highs and lows. Moff introduces the panel and we reveal our highs and lows from the opening weeks of the season 00:05:35 – Game by Game. The panel looks back at our recent league wins against Alloa and Montrose, and against Stirling Albion and Aberdeen B in the KDM Evolution Trophy aka the Challenge Cup. 00:39:55 – What yi sayeen? – Liam Sole. The on-loan Livingston winger has made an electrifying start to his ICT career, bringing the support to their feet with every touch of the ball and scoring the winning goals in our last two games. He spoke to Stevie about his career to date, the high expectations he places on himself, and his hopes for his time in Inverness. 01:09:22 – The Club. The official end of administration! The renaming of Caledonian Stadium! Why is Alfie Stewart playing for two clubs? Will Robbie Thompson’s loan move to Brora be the making of him? We dissect the latest goings-on behind the scenes at Caley Thistle. 01:21:40 – The New Kit. Caley Thistle’s new home strip was finally unveiled on August 28th. What do the TWS panellists think of it, and why is Alan Savage no longer talking to Stevie? Plus: we look forward to the recently-announced Scottish Cup Winners 10th Anniversary Night 01:32:10 – What yi sayeen? – Joe Chalmers. One of the first signings announced in the close season was the return of Joe Chalmers to the club. Stevie talked to the elegant midfielder about what brought him back to Inverness, the spirit among the current squad and his affection for garlic bread. 02:07:20 – League Lookahead. We look forward to September’s remaining league fixtures, against Cove Rangers, Queen of the South and East Fife. 02:16:48– Competition winner announced! Are you the lucky winner of a stunning t-shirt from the new Wyness Shuffle range?

It’s the Wyness Shuffle but not as you know it, as we bring you a new shortened version of the podcast. Regulars Andrew Moffat and Andrew Young are joined by the Press and Journal’s Paul Chalk and ICT season ticket holder Bill McMillan for this one-hour mini shuffle. They focus exclusively on the recent matches, with in-depth analysis of the Stenhousemuir defeat, and the diddy cup win over Elgin, plus the opening two league victories over Peterhead and Kelty Hearts. The boys talk tactics, the impact of subs, the sublime passing of Joe Chalmers, the majesty of Oscar, the five point deficit, the Sarens PSG Stadium, the recent Supporter’s Trust meeting with Alan Savage, the Thompson twins, Elgin hooligans, and player sponsorship. 04.23 We hear from the Manager after the Stenny loss.  07.49 Stenhousemuir analysis 23.52 Elgin  33.28 Peterhead  42.00 The Supporter's Trust Meeting  48.25 Kelty Hearts league opener 53.45 Bill's Top 5  58.48 Player Sponsorship! All in 59 minutes of the usual mild conjecture and wild distraction. There’s it. Enjoy.

Caley Thistle are back, brother, and so is The Wyness Shuffle, with a Hulk Hogan-sized pod covering our summer business, the current state of the squad, a returning hero, all you’ll ever need to know about this season’s League One clubs, the usual nonsense, plus 31-plus years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Join us as we look forward to delivering atomic leg drops to every one of our opponents. Let’s Shuffle! 00:01:12 – Hello! We’re back, and we’re excited. Moff introduces the panel and we reveal what we are looking forward to about the season ahead. 00:05:58 – Incoming! Caley Thistle have been busy! Nine new players in at the time of recording: we discuss what each of the club’s summer signings can bring to the team. 00:35:05 – The squad. We expected to lose Remi Savage, Paul Allan and possibly Luis Longstaff, but they know a club on the up when we see one. We discuss the potential importance to the team of retaining these players and the others who have signed on again, then look at other areas that we still have to strengthen in. Is there another striker in the offing? Also, listen out at the end of this section for your opportunity to be part of TWS’s Player Sponsorship. 00:51:10 – What yi sayeen? – David Wotherspoon. The fans wanted him back, the club wanted him back and he wanted to come back, so together they made it happen. Stevie has a happy reunion with Spoony, discussing what he loves about Caley Thistle, what he can bring to the club this time around, and what he’d eat on his last night on earth. 01:20:20 – Rebranding the Stadium. In early June, Alan Savage announced that the Caledonian Stadium was set to be renamed under a three-year deal with prospective sponsors. With the new name yet to be confirmed, we discuss what we’d like our beloved ground to be called. 01:23:48 – Encyclopaedic League One Opposition Lowdown. The grounds, the teams, the managers, all you ever wanted to know about League One! With the help of supporters from (almost) all of the other League One clubs, we take a deep dive into this season’s opponents: Alloa (01:24:35), Cove Rangers (01:29:03), East Fife (01:34:02), Hamilton Accies (01:40:30), Kelty Hearts (01:50:00), Montrose (01:57:35), Peterhead (02:02:00), Queen of the South (02:08:12) and Stenhousemuir (02:14:20). 02:21:35 – Pre-season. We briefly discuss what we’ve learned from the games played so far. 02:26:10 – League Lookahead. We look forward to August’s fixtures against Kelty, Peterhead, Stenhousemuir, Montrose and Alloa. But we do not look forward to the Challenge Cup nonsense.  02:40:15 – Competition time. Your chance to win a stunning t-shirt from the new Wyness Shuffle merchandise range, available from Onthetops.co.uk.  There's it! Yip Yip. 

A MUST LISTEN FOR ALL ICT SUPPORTERS! Boys of Summer The boys of summer are back from the beach and raring to go! Scott Kellacher and Billy Mckay have topped up the tans and topped up the ICT squad from their sunbeds, and now they’re back in Inverness, taking the helm for their first pre-season as the ICTFC management team. The management duo join The Shuffle for the very first time, talking to Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, and Andrew Young about everything and anything Caley Thistle from the last year and a half, from taking the reigns in October and the difficult admin process, to the Kelty debacle, eventual League One survival, and plans for Season 25/26. And of course we try to weasel out any bit of transfer info that we can. Some of which we think we got, but judge for yourselves...  01:00: Hello! 01:37: Taking The Reins Holidays. ICT fans on the beach. Destressing. Administration. Bringing the club back together. Self-belief. Being thrown in at the deep end. Dumbarton 3-1 loss. Changing tactics. Winning philosophy. Managerial influences. Set-pieces 32:50 Last Season The Fans. The Flag. Billy’s goals. Player appearances. The Downs. The emotions. 43:57: Relegation & Kelty We go back to relegation at the end of the 23/24 season and get the inside story, and Billy sets the record straight on the Kelty debacle and ‘naughty comments.’ ‘This is our club and we want it in Inverness.’ 56:50: Administration & Survival Players being made redundant. Being honest. A horrible day. Savage impact. Being left to it. Contacts in the game. U20 players. Andy Shinnie. Graham Shinnie will return! 15 point deduction. Greatest achievement. Never been so emotional in football. 1:17:46: The New Season: 25/26 Expectations. Attacking football. Signings: Logan Ross, Ross Munro, Joe Chalmers. Agents. Budgets. The Highland League. Value for money. There’s it!

Welcome to the End of the Season, and to the Wyness Shuffle's annual end of season podcast. This year’s edition: Survivor Series. Join pod regulars Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Sandy Sutherland, Lee Tarling, and Andrew Young as they dissect the last two most enjoyable games of The ICT Rollercoaster of ICT Rollercoasters of a season; take a look at what could be ahead for ICT off the pitch, discuss the monumental efforts of Scott Kellacher and Billy McKay; debate the percentage of Skol lager, where to purchase an inflatable camel, if anyone can actually remember the Montrose game; and finally chat to two ICT players: Alfie Bavidge and Captain Danny Devine! 00:01:05: Introduction - We’ve Survived! Moff introduces the panel, and asks for their initial thoughts about ICT surviving in League One, the season that has just finished and the achievements of Scott Kellacher. 00:15:49: Game by Game Just two games to cover, but what games they were! We start by discussing the survival-clinching 3-0 stroll against Arbroath, then try to remember what actually happened in the 2-0 win on celebration day at Montrose. 00:35:51: Player Awards We pay tribute to the players who were voted Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by their teammates and the fans: Musa Dibaga, Charlie Gilmour and Keith Bray. 00:50:23: Talk to Me: Alfie Bavidge Unusually, almost all ICT’s loan players this season turned out to be stars, but none shone more brightly than Alfie Bavidge. The Aberdeen striker, whose goals played such a big part in the club’s survival, dropped into the pod to tell us about becoming an instant hero for his dad’s old team and revealed who his favourite Inverness team-mate was.     01:05:03: Administration – the endgame? In the final week of the season, it was announced that a CVA would be put to Caley Thistle’s creditors on 22nd May. If accepted by the creditors, then the club will exit administration and be owned by preferred bidder and all-round saviour Alan Savage. We chat briefly about recent developments and whether anything could still go wrong.      01:13:48: Talk to Me: Danny Devine Remember Wyness Shuffle interviews with actual, serving Caley Thistle players? Well, they’re back! Club captain and current longest-serving player Danny Devine sat down with Stevie to talk about his relief at surviving in League One, his memories of signing for the club under Terry Butcher, the dark days of relegation under Duncan Ferguson and being managed by Scott Kellacher and Billy Mckay.      01:46:58: 2025-26 Season Lookahead As always, The Wyness Shuffle will return with a bumper season preview podcast some time in July, but for now we look at who we could be playing in L1 next season before casting our eyes upon the transfer market and some Wish List signings.   02:05:15 Competition time Your chance to win some glorious ICT artwork! 02:08:00: Moments of the season The boys name their best of-pitch and best on-pitch moments of the season. It’s been emotional, put it that way. 02:14:26: A View From the Fans We hear from a number of very happy Caley Thistle fans at the last game of the season at Montrose, and learn the words to great new song. 02:17:20 Bye for now Bye for now from us, and to two ICT legends, to whom we dedicate the pod and the season. ANOTHER SEASON OF UPS AND DOWNS AND AROUNDS… There’s it.

Welcome to the Wyness Shuffle administration special podcast, covering all the recent events in the tumultuous and dramatic world of Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club. Join Andrew Moffat, Andrew Young, Stevie Riley and guest panellist and season ticket holder Jamie MacKinnon as they discuss the recent events. The boys focus on the call for help from the administrators, Alan Savage laying down the gauntlet, the subsequent shareholders meeting and what the future might hold. Plus an exclusive interview with the insolvency expert who presided over 7 SPFL club administrations, Bryan Jackson! 00.01 AN INTRODUCTION TO BOMB DISPOSAL The boys overview the recent events and talk a bit about James Bond and defusing bombs. 05.15 THE PERILOUS TIMELINE We go through the timeline of events from 16 March to present day focusing on the BDO statement, Alan Savage's press conference and the resultant events. Was this a calculated risk or a finitely managed plan? Why were no offers received? Why has it taken so long to get the shareholders to agree? Why is the shareholding ‘a dog’s breakfast’? What happens with the land around the stadium? And what needs to occur to force through a CVA? 23.36 SHAREHOLDER’S ASSEMBLE A meeting of 10 major shareholders was held on Wed 19 March which those present have called ‘transformational’. Former ICT Vice Chair Allan Mackenzie said the response was ‘very positive’ and offers ‘reasons for optimism’ and that there is now a ‘way through’ these issues, and that he was now – as of Wed afternoon – speaking to BDO to expedite the process through the means of a CVA in order to secure a buyer. 39.01 TALK TO ME: SCOTTISH FOOTBALL INSOLVENCY EXPERT BRYAN JACKSON An exclusive TWS interview with Scotland’s foremost expert on football finances. A man who has been at the forefront of no less than SEVEN SPFL club administrations. Mr Bryan Jackson, of Finance firm Johnston Carmichael. And it was Bryan who actually put ICT and BDO together back in October, after speaking with Alan Savage himself, so he was ideally placed to comment on all the goings on, and he’s got some great one liners, which always helps. 1.31.05 BACK TO THE FUTURE Following events discussed in this podcast, Alan Savage confirmed he will advance discussions with a number of businesses to try and secure key funding. Presumably that would then form an official bid for the club. He said ‘the fog has lifted’ and moves to secure a buyer can now be ‘rekindled.’ Who might be part of his consortium? What are the Highland council meetings about? How quickly does all this need to happen in order to retain the football licenses with the SFA and SPFL, to retain the squad for next season? And we discuss Savage’s comments about Caledonian Stadium and a potential move away from the banks of the Moray Firth. There's it. 

The Chase Just when we thought we were out, they dragged us back in. Back into the relegation fight and back into the administration struggle. The majority of this podcast was recorded on the evening of Sunday 16 March, the day before the BDO statement and the Alan Savage press conference. After a month’s break we literally chose the worst time to come back. We did record some bonus chat on the Monday however, which we have dropped into the pod from 50 minutes, plus Savage’s press conference in full from 1:49. Join Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Andrew Young, Sandy Sutherland, Lee Tarling, and the Press and Journal’s very own Paul Chalk to as they talk through the recent matches, look at the headlines, talk about some of the worst loan signings ever to darken our door, and what our chances are of survival. 00:00 Hello The boys discuss their thoughts on our league position. Are they happy to have finally got out of the bottom two? Worried we might drop back down? Looking forward to being mathematically safe? Or targeting play-offs? 08:27 Game by Game The unexpected defeat to Annan plus wins over Stenny, Dumbarton, Kelty, and Queen of the South. Who have been our star performers from the past month? 33:41 Scottish Football Headlines A new feature for the Wyness Shuffle as we look at the Scottish football headlines, which are: Scotland men's internationals to be shown live on BBC New Cumnock man named as part of interim Rangers management team Police open to discussions on football booze ban 50:20 The Club The panellists settle down to have a leisurely chat about the great place the club finds itself in, until… 50.50 ALERT ALERT: THE BDO STATEMENT Moff, Chalky and Stevie get together to discuss the worrying three page statement from the Administrators in which they outline the perilous state of affairs, the hurdles that need to be overcome and the shocking realisation that no bids had been made for ICT by the proposed deadline. 1:03:23 The Club: Player contracts, who stays and who goes, and congratulations to Musa 1:07:50 Talk to Me: Scott Young The Chairman joined Stevie on the Sunday to discuss the current operations of the club, difficulties that have been overcome and how everyone is pulling together in spite of the situation. 1:19:04 Commercial opportunities and sublime meals What is the most sublime meal you’ve ever had and do ducks have more personality than chickens? 1:29:13 Hi Ho Silver Here Come the Loan Rangers!

The Kraken Wakes Something is stirring in the depths of League One. Harpooned by its own keepers, consigned to the bottom of the table in October and dismissed as a toothless nonentity by supporters of rival clubs, the behemoth that is ICT is rising again. Annan are being drawn towards its pitiless maw, and just beyond, Montrose are floundering desperately. Our intrepid crew of Andrew Moffat, Ross MacKenzie, Stevie Riley, Andrew Young and George Moodie climb inside the TWS bathysphere and descend to examine the phenomenon at close quarters: a 2-hour-and-39-minute journey containing over 30 years-worth of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let’s Shuffle!   00:01:10: Introduction / Highland Highlight Moff introduces the panel, and we reflect on some of the highlights of the past month, from the goal-getting heroics of Alfie Bavidge and Keith Bray to Billy Mckay’s contributions behind the scenes. Also, some chat about fishing. 00:08:36: The Headlines For those listeners who have been doing media-free January, here is the news. 00:09:48: Game by Game The panellists discuss the recent home and away matches against Queen of the South, and Scott Kellacher’s line-ups and tactical tweaks. We also revisit the impressive away victories against Alloa and Annan and the fine performance against Dumbarton that kicked off a successful January, and try to weigh up how ICT compare to the rest of the teams in the league. 00:39:12: Talk to Me: Cammy Harper Still only 24, Cammy Harper played first-team football for ICT under John Robertson, Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Duncan Ferguson, and also experienced plenty of Scott Kellacher’s coaching. Stevie sat down with Cammy to discuss his move to Carlisle, the differences between Scottish and English lower-league football, Caley Thistle teams past and present, and Kell’s qualities as a coach.  01:05:24: The Club On the football side ICT are in calmer, warmer waters, but in financial terms the whirlpool of administration is still raging, and the car parks are under threat from sharks. We take our monthly look at all things club-related, from wrangling over leases, to our incoming commercial business manager, to the work of the Supporters’ Trust and the continuing success of Bar 94.   01:29:59 The Scottish Transplant Football Team The last Transplant Football World Cup brought together teams from all over the world, but Scotland wasn’t among them. ICT season ticket holder and heart transplant recipient Duncan MacCaulay wants to make sure that isn’t repeated. AY spoke to the newly-appointed manager of Scotland’s first national transplant football team.     01:47:33 Donald Trump’s Scottish Football Cabinet Donald Trump’s weird, colourful and downright criminal cabinet picks made headlines all round the world. If he’s searching for more bizarre characters to make up his government, however, he need look no further than Scottish football. We come up with an alternative cabinet for The Donald.    01:54:03: Talk to Me: Martin Bavidge Before Alfie, there was Martin. By our reckoning, Alfie Bavidge is the third Caley Thistle player whose dad also played for the club. Stevie spoke to Martin Bavidge about playing under Pele, choosing to remain part time in football, and the role he played in bringing Alfie to ICT.     02:23:23: League Lookahead We round off the pod by looking at our chances in February’s games against Arbroath, Stenhousemuir and Kelty and speculating on where the club might finish the season if the current trajectory continues. There's it.

And two previously unknown pieces of key info are revealed! 1.24.32 The Xmas ICT Story Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year, but as ICT fans we have all been part of another story, a tale with no end of Grinchs, Herods or Hans Grubers. So, we thought we’d mix fantasy and reality, and reimagine the ICT story of 2024 but the key individuals as characters from Xmas tales and films and stuff. 1.29.57 Craig G Telfer Best & Worst Telfer takes us through his best and worst. Hint: it’s Maya Jama and Robert Borthwick. 1.38.07 The Festive Feast of Football It’s the festive feast of football preview as we cast our eyes over the delicious spread of ICT action before us and wonder what will be the roasted tatties you can’t get enough of and what will be the minging brussel sprouts. We focus mainly on the clash at Stenhousemuir on the 21 Dec before moving onto Cove and Dumbarton.   2.09.13 Secret Santa and Competition Time Some say Christmas is about the baby Jesus and goodwill to all men. We say it’s about getting as many presents as you possibly can. So we present the very first TWS Secret Santa, featuring lego, traffic cones, Napoleon, Buzz Lightyear and a lovely jumper.
