Trialist 15 was Kerr Smith. Formerly of Dundee United, recently released by Aston Villa. Looked ok until 4th goal......

This game is the dodgy uncle that nobody should ever talk about, and instead we just pretend that it never existed.

Pre season friendlies are ‘Exactly what it’s says on the Tin’. Unless there was a particular player or team I was wanting to see I tended to give them a miss as they are normally hard work on the eye. 0-4 to our close neighbours serves some purpose I imagine in that it’s a clear wake-up call. To use one of Kells post match comments - He’s learned a lot today and we need to be better attacking and defining. Good, that’s the objective! Expected improvement to follow. bc

I have now!

Anyone else heard the rumour the east fife game might be played at grant Street again?

Cabo Verde were brilliant. They weren't just putting everyone behind the ball, they attacked in numbers when they got the chance and ended up winning 8 corners and having 16 shots at goal. Argentina were hanging on at the end. One stat I heard was that the Cape Verde goalkeeper has completed more successful dribbles in this world cup than Ronaldo!

Think Scotty has been influenced by the Steve Clarke school of tactics! That was awful. ' Bit to go ' Hmmmm lomg way to go! And i heard that the big guy Kargbo has signed a 1 yr deal...

No lies being told to the old man, we were terrible and let County run the show in the second half 😬

Anyone know what the attendance was? Seemed like a really good turnout.

Sent me the stats, 8 shots, ZERO on target.

A disappointing afternoon, and a lot of work to do before the competitive games start. County deserved their win, particularly as they bossed the second half with the wind advantage after a first half that was quite even. For me, Chin was the difference. We just couldn’t handle him whilst we’d no one who could trouble County. Too often, we were sloppy in possession or lost the duels for 50/50 balls, and County seemed hungrier. A lot to do before 1 August (and ideally before next Saturday as we could do with confidence boosting results in the cup).

Pah! Only a friendly to gain match fitness...but...shite result all the same.

Dingwall grandkid just called to say ict had zero shots on target. Is he right or extracting the urine out of the old guy.

Psychology - convince Ross County that they will walk League 1?

Im hoping that "big No 20" isnt playing for ICT?? And any team that likes to **** about at the back, deserve to get pummeled. It really is the biggest turn off in the modern game.....yet so many do it. I dont get it at all

Time to go home now... 47’ | 0-1 Good move from ICT as Adam Mackinnon sees his effort go over the bar and behind. 51' | GOAAAAAALLL COUNTY! Jamie Lindsay fires home on the volley! What a hit! 53' | GOOOOOAALLLLL COUNTY! Adam Emslie slips it home after some brilliant work down the right from, Richard Chin! An avalanche of substitutions around the hour mark slowed County down from scoring for a bit... 70’ | 0-3 Good ball from Luis Longstaff is headed over by Morgan Bates 76’ | 0-3 Luis Longstaff’s corner finds Shae Keogh in the box but his header is over the bar. 82’ | 0-3 Ross Munro produces a good save to keep out Kieran Phillips 86' | GOOOOOALLLL COUNTY! Keiran Phillips sprints through the defence and slots home! FULL TIME: 0-4 We were Gudgied, time to go and hide for a day or two.

Not impressed so far. ICT need to treat this a bit more seriously in my mind, County sharper and bossing midfield. Too much back and fore across the back. The big no 20.... I've seen a granny on a zimmer quicker.

This pre-season game was played at the neutral venue of Grant Street, Inverness as the Caledonian Stadium surface was still being treated ahead of new season. A minutes applause was held prior to Kick-Off as a mark of respect for former Caley Jags director David Cameron who passed away earlier this week. New signings Hamzad Kargbo & Ryan Duncan started in a reasonably strong line-up for the Caley Jags who still had T14 & T15 down as trialists but better known as Dan Mackay & T15 (Joe Walters) Noteworthy timeline events... 8' | Lindsay’s strike flies over the bar after nice work from Chin on the right wing. 10' | Chance for ICT from a free-kick but Akil Wright clears the danger. 29' | Emslie slices a strike wide as Graham collects the follow up, but Ross Munro collects his shot. 35' | Brian Graham has an effort cleared off the line after a great cross from Randall. 35' | GOALLLLLL COUNTY!! Richard Chin slams it home!! 40' | Chance for ICT but it is turned wide of the post after a good cut back. HALF TIME 0-1

A response at last 😂 As I remember it, Benni’s wife and the WW right back’s wife were sisters. We managed to get him for a PSF against Hamilton and he played the first half and scored a header from the edge of the box. We couldn’t advertise it in advance as it wasn’t confirmed till the night before. The WW manager was none too pleased anyway as it interfered with his pre-season build-up.

You’ll have to let me in on these tepid Bovrils Cherly. I’ve never managed to find one that wasn’t at the temperature of nuclear waste.

That's what you get trying to infiltrate the wrong end

Trialist 14 is Dan Mackay again. From where I am for the warm up, I think Trialist 15 is a different player to the one who played at Nairn and Clach.

Can’t do that now as everything for county is not available, and only ict adult available. Was at golf this morning and a clach supporter was encouraging me to go to the game. From that I took it that we have given clach all the gate receipts as a thank you for allowing us to borrow their pitch for the game. **** up in a brewery comes to mind.

Apparently some issue with trying to get kids tickets as my son had issues but ended up buying senior tix at the same price. When he was buying the system told him only 1 child ticket left!!!
