Shadows

The game was reduced to just that at half time as the gudgies looked like they had defaulted on their Hydro bill with the Global No Energy Stadium being left in darkness. Oh dear, it's not like anyone noticed! BT Sport were showing the game live and as if their advert was not bad enough, the stadium was plunged into darkness to leave the referee with no option but to pull the plug (no pun intended) on the game as the lights failed for the third time of asking. What a fiasco.

As to the action itself, Nick Ross will not get a better chance to score but he scuffed an effort from close range as Inverness got to grips with the game. It was a game of few opportunities and Luckassen turned and smashed a shot high and wide in a rare County foray. Inverness almost snatched the lead on the stroke of half time as the previously booked Garry Warren looped a header to the top corner of Broonies goal, but the keeper tips it acrobatically over.

One other event of note before the blackout, and I have to include this in it's entirety, but thanks to BBC sport for this one, it made me chortle loudly:- Inverness have the ball in the net as Ross rifles the ball home after Shinnie's free kick is flicked on but they're disappointed by a flag for offside. That looked a marginal decision; tighter than Obelix's trousers after a hearty meal of wild boar...

Anyway, result is game abandoned at half time due to floodlight failure/or unpaid bills.
