GAME OFF AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN AFTER PITCH INSPECTION ON 7thDec

Scottish Cup Underdog Day

It's a first for the Caley Jags as we face Lowland League side Tranent in the 3rd Round of the Scottish Cup in front of a sell out crowd at Foresters Park. Unfortunately for dogs, they won't be able to see this one as they have been banned due to the expected sold out crowd. Our Middle East correspondent is The Mantis who gives us this insight into what we can expect when we get to Foresters Park to meet the Belters.

An ex-mining town of about 12000, about 6 miles from the Edinburgh boundary and now bypassed by the A1. A working class town compared to the more douce Haddington where Moff and RiG live. People from Tranent are traditionally known as Belters and this nickname has transferred to the team. The Battle of Prestonpans (Johnnie Cope and all that) was just along the road.
In common with a few other mining towns in the Lothians, Tranent has an annual Gala week and crowning of the Gala Queen.

Notable connections with ICT are Ian Black, whose father and grandfather were also footballers, who played 132 times for us between 2004 and 2009, and Steven Hislop, who was assistant manager at Tranent.

Thanks to Mantis for this preview 👍

RESCHEDULED UPDATES

The team was formerly named Tranent Juniors and won the Scottish Junior Cup in 1935. In 2018 they moved from the Juniors to the new pyramid setup and were promoted to the Lowland League in 2022. They currently lie 3rd, equal on points with Bonnyrigg, and 4 points behind leaders Clydebank. The club's motto, which you will see writ large at our end, is "Lie Forrit" which means roughly "go forward". The match is a sellout at about 1350 of which we have been allocated 400. We will be entering from the main road where the ground is up a short alley. We will be on the uncovered grassy banking while the home fans will be under cover down the side.
Parking shouldn't be a big problem. There is also an Asda right across the road where I have parked before. There are a few pubs in the town and I wouldn't be too fussed about them but apparently Whispers, just along the High Street, is connected to the club.

This was our last squad in the 1-1 draw at Alloa which showed three changes in the starting XI from our slick win over Queen of the South last weekend on the telly.

Last 6 in League1

1. ICTFC 2-2 Kelty

2. P'Head 0-1 ICTFC

3. ICTFC 1-0 Monty

4. ICTFC 1-0 Cove

5. ICTFC 4-0 QotS

6. Alloa 1-1 ICTFC

Just to reinforce the ticket situation. This game is currently sold out. No tickets will be on sale at the ground.

It was a less than impressive performance at Alloa but we still came away with a point against one of the better organised teams in the league who will no doubt be challenging for the top slot. Certainly a banker for a play off position.

Our pedigree in the Scottish Cup has been great over the years from non league right up to winning the Scottish Cup in 2015 and again reaching the final a few years ago where we went down to Celtic.

However, we are now the ones facing the potential banana skin whereas we were normally the underdog, a position we were more comfortable with. This time, it's Tranent who will fancy their chances. Beware the underdog, the only dog allowed in the stadium this weekend.

Tranent beat Caledonian Braves 2-1 last weekend with this squad at their disposal. Cammy McKinley opened the scoring 10 minutes before the break, drilling in from 10 yards following a long throw. The Braves squared the game early in the second half before a 94th minute header by Danny Handling secured the points. Euan Bauld was MotM in this one.

Tranent got to the third round by beating Pollock 3-0 in the first round and disposing of Dundee North End by the same score in round two.

More from Mantis: The manager is Robbie Horn, who took Bonnyrigg into the SPFL.
They have a few players with SPFL experience. Dean Brett (#14) is the right wingback and at 32 has a lot of experience, having made 149 appearances for Cowdenbeath before getting sacked for gambling offences and stepping down to the LL with Bonnyrigg.
Midfielder Danny Handling made 55 appearances for Hibs. They also have Reece Mullen, on loan from Alloa.
Top scorers up till present date are Harry Girdwood (#12) with 12 and Cameron McKinley(#9) with 11.
Mantis saw them once this season when they were hammered 5-0 by Clydebank although they had 10 men for most of the game.

Last week they defeated Caledonian Braves 2-1 with the following team. They are having a decent season and wins breed confidence of which there is plenty around Foresters Park at the moment, and rightly so!

Recreation Ready

A spot of recreation is on offer as we head to Clackmannanshire to face fellow title contenders Alloa Athletic in the Clean Sheet Derby at the Indodrill Stadium in a catch-up game held back from the recent historic International week, and what a week that was. The Wasps have been on fine form recently with twelve points over the last six games, just one less than the Caley Jags and could jump into second place with a win on Tuesday night. Both sides have conceded just eight League1 goals with none conceded over the last four games and something is going to give. Inverness won the first encounter this season at the end of August but made hard work of it. A solitary strike by Liam Sole was all we had to show for our endeavours and we ended up just doing enough to take the points as the Wasps made a late bid to earn a point.

We should be set up nicely for this one after dominating Queen of the South on Saturday in the televised game. A sensational volley from Liam Sole set us up to cruise to the win in possibly our best performance of the season. Further goals from Zimba, his 11th of the season, MacKinnon, his first of the season and Alfie Bavidge rounded off the scoring a minute after coming on. Superb all over the park.

Back to Business as Usual

After the scenes, limbs and euphoria of a McTominay overhead bicycle stunner, a Tierney peach and a Kenny Fekkin MacLean whopper, there's a more mundane task ahead as Queen of the South are our visitors on Saturday. It's scheduled for a 17:30pm kick-off in League1 as we endeavour to consolidate our position at the top of the table. We managed that without playing last weekend but Queens can be a difficult proposition at times and are not to be underestimated. Queens will be looking to get involved in the race for a place, currently only five points behind the Caley Jags. Weather wise it's been a pretty chilly week with snow showers leaving a fine blanket on the surface and we are taking nothing for granted by getting the covers down early before the frost gets any worse.

The late kick-off time can mean only one thing. Get yer Gaelic phrase books out as BBC Alba will be covering this one live. We are on the telly!

This was their last squad at Cove Rangers. It didn't go too well for them. However, the opportunity to proceed in the competition is still there.

After the Group stages, we lose the bottom eight teams and replace them with the teams from the Championship to give us a straight knock-out from thirty-two teams.

Here's the bottom eight teams ahead of the last group fixtures. Note that they are all Premiership B sides. Celtic B (20th) & Hibs B (22nd) are just above the elimination places on 6 & 4 points respectively with the Binos sandwiched in-between them.

Round of 32 draw at 1:00pm on 13th November

Unlucky for some!

Here it is in full. The biggest League Table in the World>>>

Bottoms v Tops

Struggling Cove Rangers are the visitors to the Caledonian Stadium on Saturday as they look for their second win of the season against the team with the most wins of this League campaign. That's us for those still unsure of our credentials. From the twelve games played so far, we have three wins more than anyone else in League1. The last time we met in early September, we came away from Balmoral Stadium with all three points thanks to a goal from Calum MacLeod. Cove won their first game with a resounding 0-3 win at Montrose recently but followed that with a 1-2 home defeat to Peterhead last weekend. Billy Mckay has a grade 2 hamstring injury and is out until around Xmas. Maybe he will be a surprise Santa. Usual niggles as well but we are not aware of any surprise casualties.

As Gringo succintly pointed out on CTO: We've been here before...top v bottom....home banker? You'd certainly think so, well, on paper anyway. Our home form/performances aren't Earth shattering that is for sure. Need to win this at least 6-0 to get rid of that bogie with a massive blow out. Aaaaaattttccchhhooooooo!

##########################################################

Last weekends squad that laboured to victory over a lively Montrose. Chanka Zimba was the difference between the sides as we hit the top of the table.

Since we last met:

1. Cove 0-1 ICTFC

2. QotS 0-2 ICTFC

3. ICTFC 4-1 E Fife

4. Accies 3-1 ICTFC

5. ICTFC 2-2 Kelty

6. P'Head 0-1 ICTFC

7. ICTFC 1-0 Monty

Our home form has been the subject of much discussion as many teams come North to sit in and Stenhousemuir certainly benefitted from that in our only home defeat and Kelty Hearts also got off lightly in a 2-2 draw. However it's up to us to dictate the pace of our own home games and that is certainly up for debate as our goals to attempts ratio shows alarming disparity at times.

Cove's squad at home to Peterhead last Saturday was unchanged one week after their first win of the season at Montrose. Lewis O'Donnell's goal was not enough to stop Peterhead taking the points.

Since we last met:

1. Cove 0-1 ICTFC

2. Alloa 2-1 Cove

3. Cove 0-2 Kelty

4. E Fife 2-0 Cove

5. Cove 0-1 Stenny

6. Monty 0-3 Cove

7. Cove 1-2 P'Head

David Eguaibor tops Cove's scoring chart with five goals. Bisland, Eguaibor and O'Donnell were the scorers in the 3-0 win at Montrose.

Cove had long-term absentees Fraser Fyvie, Mikey Doyle and Declan Glass all sidelined at Montrose and Mitch Megginson was added to that injury list which remained the same for the Peterhead game. Paul Hartley felt that his side missed too many opportunities without the cutting edge the likes of Megginson would have provided.

We traditionally make hard work of seeing off struggling sides, especially at home. But what better opportunity pops up to get the fans on board and boost your goal difference than playing the team at the opposite end of the table. Weather's mild too.

No listen! Here's Scott

Halloween Trick or Treat

The Gable Endies come North on Halloween Saturday as we head into a spooktacular Matchday 12 in League1, where dookin for apples and guising for nuts will be the order of the day. The Caley Jags sit in second place with Montrose slipping up recently losing their last three games which has dropped them to third bottom of the League1 table and shipping ten goals in the process. We picked up a valuable three points at Peterhead last week after a couple of uninspiring performances to get back on track and sit just one point behind Stenhousemuir who face a testing visit to Palmerston and East Fife heading to cash strapped Hamilton Accies. All to play for!

The big question is: Will it be a Trick or a Treat... 💀👻🍒

• Stenny 3-1 Monty

After our last meeting, Montrose went on a formidable run with 10 points from a possible 12. Alas, since then, their losing streak was extended to three following defeat at Cove.

Top scorer is Graham Webster with three League goals and he has made over 400 appearances for the club.

Blue Toon on the up

Off to Balmoor Stadium to play Peterhead this Saturday in what will be a tough test of our resolve given the Blue Toon's current surge up the table having won their last three fixtures. We did win the first meeting in the Highlands 2-0 whilst Peterhead were getting to grips with League1 football. A Sole goal and a Spoons strike were enough to take the points that day. Looks like it will be a more difficult proposition this time with Peterhead on a roll.

Beware, storm Benjamin is coming...

Scott Kellacher has been a year in his role as Head Coach now and has already picked up a couple of Manager of the Month awards for August and September. Calum MacLeod will no doubt continue to deputise at right back. Luis Longstaff hobbled off at half time against Kelty and may be a doubt.

Meanwhile, everyone has benefitted from Accies being given a six point deduction for deceit. Cheating the whole League and SPFL by their scurrilous wheeling & dealing. This was no accident but it was fraudulent activity to deceive all. I feel there will be more to come on this despite Accies claiming they have done nothing wrong and will appeal the decision with the SFA. Meanwhile, Accies drop to sixth in the table and we now occupy second place.

Former Aberdeen player Niall McGinn is on their books. Max Barry is a former Buckie Thistle forward who can cause problems. A decent squad being assembled at Peterhead who also have Cammy Smith and Peter Pawlett on their books.
