Nah he’s a regular. Played 38 matches this season including all 4 in April.

I don’t think Gardyne has featured much for Montrose. I don’t know if he is injured or whether anything else is causing his absence.

Jordan White for Ross County and Robbie Thompson for Spartans today. Kirk Broadfoot for Morton last night.

That's certainly one in a long line of poor decisions from our current CEO (and by letting him make them the board). I think appointing Foran as manager (and in our typical way letting him linger way too long after it clearly wasn't working out) was a huge error. Appointing Yvonne Crook as CEO (yes remember her) was a huge error as she knew absolutely nothing about football or running a football club. We of course followed up with Scot 'Bluenose' Gardiner, while having at least a football background he left a trail of clubs where if we'd spent 5 mins speaking to his previous clubs and their supporters you'd get a clear picture of narcissistic incompetence. Admittedly he has achieved a lot since arriving - alienating fans, betraying local businesses, disrespecting and ignoring the Trust, half empty concerts, failed fan forums, failed 'raise the roof' campain, overt obsessive pro-Rangers stance, BS re the Freeport benefits and a continuous slide downwards on the pitch. To name a few. I do appreciate the board and others who have contributed financially however these appointments are their doing and they have to take responsibility for that. On the park we've had Robbo who stepped back as manager and we kept paying him for years to do God knows what, thereafter Billy likes Fitba who while seemed a nice guy wasn't up to the task and his recruitment was pretty atrocious. Now we have Big Dunc on an alleged £4k a week with whom I've seen nothing to give me much confidence he can recruit or manage the team at anything more than a bog standard level. I could prattle on but you get the gist. Every time me make a big decision especially around recruitment, it's a poor one and we let people linger around far too long.

I think the criticism of Ferguson is way over the top and, realistically, the club cannot afford to pay him off. Without doubt he has made mistakes but he is learning his trade and his lack of knowledge of football at this level didn't help. There gave been signs in the last few games that he was starting to make things work. Don't forget the mess that Dodds left with no real strikers apart from Billy, who let's face it, isn't as sharp as he once was. I think we will win through the play offs and if we do, the hard work will start to get a team together next season. Don't forget, some posters on here would have been happy with Imrie as manager.

Does anyone know if we have anyone watching Montrose today? I presume they weren’t fielding their strongest side though (no Gardyne) but still came from 0-2 to win win 3-2. I’d forgotten that they have another ex-ICT player, Matheus Machado.

An irrelevant piece of info, but with the benefit of hindsight we now know that on 27 January we became safe from automatic relegation!

He always spends time talking to the kids around the tunnel .They love it .

The final slide down the slipway started with us reaching the cup final, it kept Dodds in the job. Without that reprieve we may very well have had a new manager in place before the season started and hopefully have avoided the disastrous start to the season.

Montrose bus completely full. Leaving stadium at 2.30pm. Picking up Aviemore and Pitlochry. £20 a seat. We have a waiting list so if you have booked and now can’t make it please let us know through Facebook or on 07462218717

I’d like to see them try

Elgin City @ 3.6 ta…

Wise choice tbf. He'd probably be torn apart limb by limb if he even tried to applaud the North Stand

FFS. I see that Wotherspoon is leaving Dundee United. WTaF

There will be load cheers in the Highland Council after they receive news that we have reached the playoffs this year after narrowly missing out last year.

Forget he ifs, buts and maybes. We're where we deserve to be and the table doesn't lie. There is no fight in the team, no discernible tactical style of play, players are picked to avoid paying their wages, decent players sit on the bench irrespective of what's happening on the pitch. Ferguson signed five centre halfs and we still ship ludicrously soft goals against teams who're already on holiday and last night aside we seem completely unable to score nearly enough goals. From my perspective Ferguson's appointment has been an unmitigated disaster and whether we sink or survive he needs to go along with the clown who pushed for his appointment. How the board can sit through the barage of anti-Gardiner chants at every home game and not address the issue is beyond me. To be facing relegation to the third tier is an utter embarrassment for the club and those responsible should be held accountable. Onwards to Montrose on Tuesday I guess.

Anyone notice Dunc going straight up the tunnel again? I don’t really like that from our manager.

Two flaws there though: 2 years ago we had 6 finals in the promotion play offs and came up short, last year we lost the final. This year……? It may only be 2 finals. If it’s 4, we need to not fall short again.

Yes, Harper did very well to keep his composure and slot the penalty into the bottom corner.

I hope a recording of the game will show the antics of Morton’s goalie before the penalty was taken (what a bellend) and also Broadfoot’s assault on Alex Samuel. Imrie seems to have coached his team tactics on thuggery.

Brilliant game brilliant atmosphere on a lovely night ,just a pity a bit too late but not over yet. So glad Dougie Imrie is not our manager ,if that is his style his team were a disgrace .They had nothing at stake and the treatment to our players was disgusting .As for Muirhead he has to receive some punishment for his conduct on the sending off .He was right in the face of the ref with very abusive disgusting language ,kicked the wall in anger (possibly a broken toe or two ) then on way into tunnel looks to Caley bench giving rude hand signal .Absolutely shocking behaviour from any player .He must be dealt with accordingly. Dougie Imrie has nothing to be proud of .. C.mon Caley Thistle we can do this albeit the hard way and with discipline..

We're in the play-offs aren't we...
