What do you think are the five results that were critical to ICTs title charge this season? Mine are detailed below:
1. Wales 3 v 0 Scotland - This was the final game for both Burley and Butcher for Scotland. Not long after this result we started our incredible run that saw us power through the division. It meant Terry concentrated solely on ICT with only minor distractions away from the club.
2. ICT 4 - 3 Raith Rovers. Having let a two goal lead slip against an impressive Rovers side questions were sure to be asked at the final whistle of ICTs title credentials. As the Home fans slipped away to the car park those that stayed until the end watched on as Goalbek lofted a ball into the box which bobbled up for Foran to hit the winner by means of an overhead kick. It wasn't pretty but it was the kind of goal that wins teams titles.
3. ICT 3 - 0 Ross County. Yes they had 10 men but Ross County were arguably one of the best teams in the league and one we had struggled to get anything against so far this season. The early dismissal of Keddie helped no end and a potential banana skin was dodged as the farmers were easily swept aside.
4. Dunfermline 0 v 1 ICT. "We all love Cox!" One swing of Lee Coxs left foot pinched a vital three points on the opening day. The Pars had given us a good game and could easily have won it themselves but we showed a lot of resilience and determination to keep going until the end and a strong Away support was rewarded when deep into stoppage time we grabbed the winner to kick start the season.
5. Dundee 2 - 2 ICT. Perhaps the first game that showed that there was some potential in the ICT squad. Twice Dundee took the lead and twice they were pegged back. In all honesty we should have won this game but it showed great character to go to Dens and have Dundee on the back foot for the majority of the game. It also gave rise to the now infamous chant of "F**k you Dundee you'll never win the league!"
