Looking forward to the game on Fri night, not sure how I think it will go but the boys have to be right up for it, no excuses. They've had a good break in preparation. 

The derby got a mention on 'A view from the terrace' last week, they were going on about it being such a friendly rivalry.......I'm not having everyone's like that. I like there to be a bit of needle between us and I also like to see County lose all their games and that's if I even check their score at all.

Get right inti this shower of s%@#e Caley Thistle.....C'mon!!!!!

Well, the morning after such a classic is always sweet. Much to replay in the mind, and savour. Overall, you have to say it was a team performance, where everybody knew their jobs and passed to each other with confidence. What a contrast to a few months ago. Confidence and a well drilled shape has transformed us, let's hope it last for the rest of the season. Lots of highlights, particularly MacKay's solo, but I also really enjoyed Allardyce's long ball, MacGregor's wizardry, only to be foiled by a block, but it was a sweet move worthy of any top level game.

If we can retain that standard we may well be in for an exciting finish to the season. What are the chances of meeting County in the play-offs? 😋

Quote from the County forum on their performance: "It was like farmers playing with wellies on"  - I couldn't have said it better myself 

😂🤣😊

I have evidently expressed my disinterest in this season as a whole, probably related to my work experience. But I was keeping an eye on the scores as I drove through the streets of Preston - and when I saw the final score that olde beautiful buzz restarted the footballing heartbeat. It felt like we had actually won the Scottish Cup again.

You'll recognise that as a great example of intermittent reinforcement - the most powerful conditioning method in psychology 🤩

Oh, and have to mention - McCann's game management was spot on. Bringing on attacking subs when we might have tried to see a 2-1 out worked a treat. Plaudits all round - team and management.

It's amazing how, over the years  when we are a lower division club playing a top division team away in the cup we come away with a 1-3 victory.

That said, if County continue to defend like that they won't be a top division club for too much longer and, if we continue to play like that, we might not be a lower division club for too much longer either.

Just skipped through the whole match again, and thoroughly enjoyed all three goals again.  They were all top quality, especially Daniel's  Good after match interviews with Dan, Toddy and Neil. Thought the two pundits, Shelly Kerr and Gary Caldwell were excellent too.

As has been said by many of us, that was a real team performance last night. Can't ask for more than that. Let's hope we can keep it going.

Brilliant performance which MUST take forward to the Morton and QoS games. They are more important. 👏👏

Well done guys county couldn't live with you  3 excellent goals   yogi totally out foxed 

A brilliant goal from Daniel MacKay as a long ball up finds the young winger but he still has loads to do! 👏

I see the BBC are giving Mckay the assist for Toddy’s goal. I thought it was Deas that headed it across to him.

That was the most enjoyable performance and result that I can remember for some time.  Great to feel that ICT buzz again.  All of a sudden we have hit form at just the right time and it should be well within the team's ability to get into the play-offs.

Definitely Deas, great header back across the box, great finish.

Yes....I saw that, incredible really. I am falling in love with that guy!

All the goals on Caley Jags TV

 

Interesting to note , good performance aside - all the goals came from set-plays - emphasising where both clubs have struggled this year.

But with the wee caveat that our 2nd came from a County set play!  

We spoke to David Carson after the game to get his thoughts on the Highland Derby. You can check it out in the usual podcasty places.

 

Really enjoyed that. 

 

Well done.

Disappointed that there doesn’t seem to have been any post-match comment from John Hughes yet! Are they all still in their changing room?

Has Hughes made any public comment yet?

I see he has made 5 changes for County’s game today which perhaps says a lot, including Donaldson dropping out.
