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!
