Inverness CT 1-0 Montrose Play-Off Second Leg (0-0)
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
Little Consolation: Inverness will face Hamilton Accies in the Play-Off final after nervously scraping past part-time Montrose who were eventually reduced to ten men when Blair Lyons was sent off after an off the ball incident in the 84th minute involving Morgan Boyes. Inverness had dominated throughout, but failed to capitalise on their possession, and as per the entire season failed to create much of note. The first half was livlier than the first leg, but the same problems showed up our lack of quality. We started with no wingers and Billy Mckay as usual in a withdrawn role. It's not worked all season, so why should it suddenly work now. A woeful first half ended goalless and it was on the hour and out of the blue when Billy Mckay prodded in from three yards to score the only goal of the game following a corner-

Inverness CT -V- Montrose - Second Leg (0-0)
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
As much as we have criticised the Caley Jags performance on Tuesday night, let's not lose sight of the fact that Montrose are a decent League 1 side with a good blend of experience and talented prospects. For our part, let's keep them as a good League 1 side and that means no room for faffing about. Time has run out now, there's no hiding places and no room for shirkers. Ditch the sideways passing or put goal posts in front of the Main Stand and tuck shops.-

Montrose 0-0 Inverness CT - Play Off 1st Leg
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
FULL TIME: 0-0
All to play for on Saturday, but don't hold your breath...
However, if we continue like this, it will be our final game this season.
Best performer for us was Samson Lawal, the only bright spark on the field.
Alloa 2-2 Hamilton was the other semi-final score tonight. On this evidence, I doubt either side will be quaking in their boots.

Inverness CT 3-1 Morton - Report
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
It was a lovely evening for a game of football, what could possibly go wrong? Well, what did go wrong was Queen's Park beat an understrength Airdrie 2-0 at Hampden, therefore despite beating Morton 3-1, Inverness head for the play-offs. Morgan Boyes opened the scoring with a thumping volley after half an hour. Kirk Broadfoot benefited from slack defending to level before the break then proceeded to earn the wrath of the home support with an embarrassing celebration in front of the North Stand. Cammy Harper relieved Billy Mckay of penalty kick duties and duly slotted home from the spot ten minutes after the break. The scoring was completed just after the hour when Sean McAllister drilled home into the bottom corner. Robbie Muirhead had been sent off for simulation then taking a wee fit to himself and was promptly sent off after 58 minutes just after Harper had knocked in his penalty kick, probably aggrieved that he never earned a spot kick for his dramatic dive.

Inverness CT -V- Morton - Preview
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
Well, where do you start. It was clear from the begining of the season that something was wrong. Poor signings, dismal performances in the League Cup followed by an abysmal start to the League campaign saw Billy Dodds removed from his position after winning one point in the first six Championship fixtures and replaced by a man with no track record as a manager. A sort of publicity stunt if you like. After the initial new manager bounce wore off, we found ourselves little better off with Big Dunc than we were with wee Billy. We did claw ourselves up to the coat tails of others but the most damning part of our season has been our inability to score goals, especially at home. Only already relegated Arbroath are worse than us. Our team is now full of mercenaries, loan players with no affiliation to our Highland pedigree and many fans have tagged us as being the worst squad ever in our short history. Where are the Golabeck's, Tokeley's, Wilson's..... Much of this can be attributed to our lack of financial nous in the boardroom, failed ventures and now the begging bowls are being put in place to save our club. Having drawn at Dunfermline last week thanks to Aribim Pepple's first goal for the club combined with Billy Mckay's penalty miss, it's now out of our own hands. LAST SIX: D L W W L D

At least they aren't peddling the BS line about it being as per SFL rules etc etc If there's a nonsensical, convoluted and awkward way to do something, you can be damn sure we'll find a way to do it. #TheICTway

It's what got us in the relegation playoffs in the first place.

I have no idea just posted the information

Why would we make this so difficult? So many Caley fans are far from Inverness. Crazy that Montrose manage a simple online process but we can’t. It’s on Alba, so already up against getting a good crowd without this nonsense. I would have come through from Aberdeen with the kids even though they’re still traumatized by the dross served up at Links Park.

I notice in his post match interview Ferguson blamed a slow pitch for his teams inability to move the ball forward. Did he not mean his slow players? My two year old next door neighbours son could move quicker

This is the face of someone who cares. Hopefully the whole team to feels the same way.

Every time I have gone to an ICT match over the past several seasons, I ask exactly the same question... No-one at the club seems to want to do anything about it.
-
Just had a look on Hamilton website and see they were giving their season ticket holders half price entry (£10) today. After what our season ticket holders have endured this year I'd like to think the club will show some appreciation to them by doing something similar for next Saturday's game.

After getting a taste this week of what Championship football is like, maybe Montrose thought nah your alright, enough of this tedium, we’ll just stay where we are thanks!

Looked for score at 18:00 Benalmadena time, 17:00 back home. was expecting a 3 or 4 nil result for us. disappointing to see a 1-0 score, a Montrose goal disallowed and the negative reports about the game. after happy hour have now decided to give the hotel entertainment a miss this evening. Flamenco show would compound my already sore heid. But a win is a win and on to Wednesday we go again. Hamilton scraped through today 3-2, with Alloa down to 10 men from 45 mins, 5-4 over the 2 games. So not a great showing from them. bbc stats, if you can believe them, show Possession 52 % to 48% in Hamilton favour. Not good when Alloa down to 10 all second half. unfortunately, I assume Hamilton still have a plastic pitch

Cannot fathom the complete apathy to winning football matches by the players and management. Absolutely no idea what formation we were playing and who is meant to be supporting Samuel up front. The only time McKay got in the box he scored, the rest of the time he was playing 2 yard sideways passes on the half way line. Really struggled to pick a standout today, only the sunshine made it bearable.

We didn’t have the guile to break them down in the first half; thankfully the goal they got was ruled offside. At that point there was concern so second half put the pressure on and Billy scrambles the ball in. Then we sit deep and invite them to have a go they duly accept and really ought to have got an equaliser but for an excellent save from Ridgers. A wins a win. Hamilton should be a harder task but I suspect more tight games. We will require to play better and hope for a fair wind

Little Consolation Inverness will face Hamilton Accies in the Play-Off final after nervously scraping past part-time Montrose who were eventually reduced to ten men when Blair Lyons was sent off after an off the ball incident in the 84th minute involving Morgan Boyes. Inverness had dominated throughout, but failed to capitalise on their possession, and as per the entire season failed to create much of note. The first half was livlier than the first leg, but the same problems showed up our lack of quality. We started with no wingers and Billy Mckay as usual in a withdrawn role. It's not worked all season, so why should it suddenly work now. A woeful first half ended goalless and it was on the hour and out of the blue when Billy Mckay prodded in from three yards to score the only goal of the game following a corner. Cammy Harper had smacked the outside of the keepers right hand post as he cut in from the left prior to this but chances were at a premium. We had to rely on the ever alert Mark Ridgers to deny Ali Shrive's vicious shot from 15 yards to keep us ahead as Montrose were still in the tie after 75 minutes, but that was the only real effort of note from the visitors although Ridgers was quick off his line in the first half to snuff out a through ball. With Lyon's red card went any hope Montrose had of taking the game further, but fair play to them and their vocal following for making a fist of it against a rank rotten Inverness side. It's little consolation to know we are through to the final play-off games against Accies, as we have big problems to iron out if we are to retain our Championship status. We won the battle today, but the war still has a long way to go. It's Montrose that take all the plaudits, but it's Inverness that are still in the play-offs.

Was driving home and was thinking how on earth have we fallen so low in standards.We are struggling to stay in the championship and we play and look like a first division team. Today should have been high tempo,slick passing and exciting football.When you rely on a 1-0 score and hope you can keep the other team out,it is a very risky strategy.IF we survive in this league,serious questions need asked about how we have become so poor.

Apart from scoring 5 goals in their semi-final, Hamilton have finished League 1 with a goal difference of +45. Not really looking forward to these two matches with our current form and glaikit manager. Is he Richie Foran in disguise?
-
On this shocking display we have found our level - Division 1
-
Honestly, if we are happy trying to stay up in this way, it is an acceptance of how far we have dropped our standards. if we lose the first goal, we are beaten, simple as that. And to think how a bad referee decision can change things (early red card/penalty) to go with this mentality won’t help us. we should expect better
-
Can't believe how negative ICT have become changed days horrible to watch hope they can be more adventurous v Hamilton or we will be in trouble
-
We can and will if it goes to penalties! We have to score.
-
If we don't concede we can't loose. This isn't the time for expansive football and getting picked apart. Might not be popular but its about getting the job done.
-
Don't know... he is so much a better player than Longstaff.. have to ask one trick pony Feguson.
-
Why is he not playing MacGregor
-
A brutal and nerve wracking watch. Our tactics are so negative. We should be taking the game to teams especially part time sides. Hamilton is going to be a tougher game.
