HT 0 -0 Lets have the Butcher rant........

Why does he not have a rage 15 minutes before kick off?????? we might start a game playing some football..

Going by radio scotland Harry will not get rich on us tonight!!! 16 YES 16 hardy souls supporting us! Hope a few more on the way.

Yeah, I arrived home from work and turned on the radio to hear Chick going on about that. Made a little too much of it IMO - if I couldn't make it living just an hour away, how does he expect the average Inverness-dwelling ICT supporter to make a half seven kick off 200 miles away on a Wednesday night? Mind you, I bet most of the crew from Harry's bar weren't there for kick off to make it into his head count.

Sounds pretty poor so far: maybe Terry will clatter someone with the tactics board again and get them playing. Injury to Hayes also a real concern, especially with Killie at the weekend - they're the sort of team he should get a bit of space and time against.

this game is obviously nowhere near our 2 epics against ayr a few years ago. The 7-3 league game i think? and a 3-0 down at halftime winning 4-3 in the cup around 2000/01!?

Seems like we are sh!te once again and discipline has been left at home. Either that or Mr Winter is following the same orders as all the other refs we've had this season.

Tuffey mom so far. He is keeping us in this. It seems like everyone Is scared to shoot, they keep passing the ball to each other in the final third with no real chances or shots being created. Certainly look low in confidence while Ayr are up for this one.

2nd half. Tokely almost scores. Off the post and into the keepers arms while everyone stares and watches

Rossco just hit the post, ball bounced into the keepers hands.... no feckin luck these days!

Falkirk equalise

rosco off the post

how many times have we hit the woodwork this season?

Was it a penalty, was it not? Oh what a surprise Chick Young thinks it was a stick on, anyone else hate him as much as me?

sounds better for the second half yet again why cant we do it from the first half sounds like we may have got away with one with a pen decision but maybe thats karma

Much better now. Ayr player booked for diving in the box. There's a real sense of urgency in the team now
