Same as Motherwell I think. No King, Doran wide, Mckay fit to play.

Cammy Mackay in goals ??????

apparently OFW injured in the warm up and Mackay replaced him in the starting lineup. not sure who - if anyone - is the sub keeper on the bench.  Worse still, Tremarco off injured in 9 minutes ...... but sub David Raven makes it 1-0 

Well done Raven

Raven playing a blinder by the sound of things

Doumbouya makes it 2-0 

Well the sceptics must begin believing in our Doumbouya now.

Johnsen gets one back for Hearts

Is that 3 goals in 3 for Doumbouya?

Dumbo is learning to fly!

Quite a game! No Fisher or King, OFW doesn't start because of a late injury, so we have our third choice goalie on, the Tremarco injured inside 10, his substitute scores, Doumbouya gets another goal, Hearts come back into it...2nd half could be a nail-bitter

Daniel Hoban was brought onto the bench as Sub Keeper.

and now its 3-2 !!! wow. Aaron Doran

We need that customary late winner again.

Aye, it's no been looking good for a while. Backs to the wall stuff at the moment. Let's see if we can nick a winner. Go on Jake, run at them.

Decent point, particularly given the loss of some important players.

unlucky not to get all the points.....

Always disappointing not to hang on to a 2 goal lead.  But after the injuries in the warm up and within the first 10 mins, I'm sure many of us would have settled for a point then.

Still in 6th place, but a pity that Partick got a late winner to get close to us.

Looking forward to seeing the comments of those at the match

Great creativity and composure throughout the team, the long balls up the park allowed them to come back into the game but to coin a Richie Foran phrase. The boys were excellent.

We dominated, controlled the match and it looked like a rout was on the cards.

Below par performance from the ref unless your a Jambo.

Someone said to me only 2 days ago. Why can't we get refs to fly up from the English Premiership, there's no influence on the outcome of a match then they just have to control the game instead of influencing the outcome.I think it's a good suggestion.

3 excellently taken goals but disappointed to concede 3. Should have really got the win but I would have taken the draw before hand.

Good result, and 5 points from our last 9 is not a bad return at all. Also, we've lost 1 of the last 9 games, which is outstanding considering our poor start to the season. 

Listening to the commentary it sounds like Hearts could have nicked it close to the end, so I'm happy with a draw. Good to hear Doumbouya is improving, some glowing reports from commentators on BBC Scotland. 

All in all, 12 league games into his managerial career and Foran has made a very promising start. 

 

Very entertaining game- that was worth the money. A draw was a fair result: The only complaints were the ref (who had an absolute mare) and injuries to Fon Williams and Tremarco. Hope they're not serious. All of the team put in a great shift today.

Hearts played the referee they had him just where they wanted him . Really awfull performance from him and the gamesmanship from Walker ,Nielsen and co left a sour taste.

Good performance from us all things considered, standout for me was Raven at left back never put a foot wrong.

 

 

 

 

Feel a bit disappointed not to come away with a win after the performance put in by the team and the challenges that had to be overcome with the loss to injury of Fon Williams, Tremarco, Doran and Vigurs. Don't know what happened to Fon Williams but Tremarco looked like a hamstring injury and Doran and Vigurs looked like groin injuries so all could be out for a few weeks. Had we kept them all on, result may well have been different.

Back to the game and, to be honest, only one team tried to play football and it wasn't Hearts. If anyone ever accuses ICT of being a physical team, they should look at Hearts. Yet again some of their play acting was dreadful and in this they were aided and abetted by a truly woeful refereeing performance. Don't think Doumboya got any protection from the ref and was constantly being fouled. Glaringly obvious pushes by Hearts went unpunished. Craig Thomson was truly truly dreadful and should be ashamed of such a poor performance.

While we are still a work in progress as a team, if we can keep these players together, we can go places as a team, maybe not this season but the potential is there. The public of Inverness need to get out and support this team as today was really good entertainment.
