Great to see Foran back. I'm going for a 3-2 away win today.

 

Mon the Caley Jags  

Good team choice. Harsh on Ross and Devine but Warren and Foran are most definitely needed today. 

 

Also going for a 3-2. Doran is due a goal, Warren and McKay.

 

C'mon Caley 

'Well 2-0 up at Hearts already, so any chance of Hearts doing us a favour today seem to have been scuppered already.

We really do need 3 points today to build for a top 6 finish.

as I posted on Twitter: its heating up now.. bad tackle, retaliation, and the idiot gudgie seethe with a napoleon complex trying to start on big tel ... #ictfc @HighlanderICT

Tweeting on @topsixnextyear. Get following.

1-2 hearts well

Might only be a single goal in this one

5959 crowd - not a sell out then

Happy with the point. 

Second clean sheet in a row . Unfortunately on both sides

Got to be pretty happy with a draw away to the form side.

1st time since March 2002, that ICT have had consecutive 0-0 draws.  And the 2 games on 16th and 19th March 02, were against...  our travelling friends. And then on the 23rd it was a 1-1 draw, against Cownty.  (According to site stats)

A clean sheet and a point, happy with that

Unbeaten since 7/11/09 ;@

Sitting in the Skiach on the way home to Thurso still annoyed at the non penalty decision. Stonewaller from where I was sitting just behind the goal. Fun on the way back to the car though. Some ten year old kids trying to bait us by asking if we were supporting Andy Shinnie in the diving in next year's Olympics. Pretty poor they can't get the player or the games right.

Very tight match that could have gone either way. We should of had a penalty when their left fouled G.Shinnie in the box but shouldn't dwell on it too much. We never took our chances, so a draw is the correct result. Hopefully get three point when they come to our place.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the pitch or the ref yet, not sure which was worse both were a total disgrace.

taking away the 3-2 win at hearts, 3 goals in our last seven games.

dont think michael fraser will have to wash his kit tonight. cant remember working him at all the 2nd half.

a bad pitch showed up a few of our players first touch. (  sorry lack of first touch).

You've got to love some of the nonsense from Over The Bridge -

Brilliant noise from the Jailend.

Shows how far we've come that Mr Butcher felt the need to go to his fans at the end and celebrate with them as if they'd won the title.....

Thought County were the better team overall and at least tried to play football.

Not even looked at the thread so far. Just back from Dingwall been in the national after the game. Pretty pu$$ed now oops. Thought the game was pretty even g Shinnie certainly looked like a penalty to me and also had a chance kicked off the line first half. Enjoyed the day out and had sme good Craic wi the coonty fans felt sorry for my son though. In the pub before the game and he was wearing the old city link top. The whole pub looked at him and started singing what the f****ng he'll is that. Good banter good beer hope both teams make the top six. Totally want another day to Dingwall and also fair play to the stewards some people complaining to them about the seats etc and trying to break up the singing section. They had the sense to ignore the whiners and let the fans enjoy their day.

2 orda **** county

Fair result given the lack of clear chances, thought we had more class, but County's endeavour nullified that,  Neither keeper had anything to deal with but Esson looked so composed.

 

Draw...................meh, fair enough.

We should have totally got a penalty when Graeme got pulled down. He never dives. Great play from both sides and entertaining game. But felt the ref was one sided. Roll on the 16th

Scrappy game, not helped by a horrendous pitch.  The ref also had a shocker.  Thought the ICT defence and Esson did pretty well, but the game did seem to get longer and longer as it went on.  Not really many chances for either team, but County probably shaded it in that field, so overall a draw was a fair and decent result.  Of the rest, McKay was barely in the game and Andrew Shinnie hasn't looked the same since coming off injured at Killie.  Maybe a tactical surprise could be an idea for Dundee next week?

 

Overall, a good point and they're still in the shadows!

Too many long punts and a contentious penalty shout with County's right back having the best shot of the game. More or less sums it up but a point is a result im very happy with. Definite penalty, one of many decisions that Crawford Allan got wrong today. 

 

What is up with their pitch? Its like trying to play football in a sandbox;
