Inverness Caley Thistle Youths leave sour taste

- Lynne Macdonald

It hasn’t been the best week for Caley Thistle – a frustratin­g draw with Ayr on Saturday, and crashing out of the Irn Bru Cup on Tuesday. As holders this was disappoint­ing.

But the dominant news of the week was the abusive chants towards Liam Polworth and a family member by a small, but vocal, group of young fans. The club have acted swiftly in identifyin­g and banning the culprits but it leaves a sour taste in the mouth. For several seasons we, as well as other clubs I suspect, have had issues with the behaviour of the so called “young team”. Whilst it is important that we continue to grow a young support as a club it is disappoint­ing that the era of self-policing is past and has now become a problem to all at the club.
