You can't beat Clach Park imo.

The solution to this problem is simple. We need to be more streetwise. If you are fouled GO DOWN. If you are recklessly fouled STAY DOWN. If your opponent is on a yellow card PUT HIM UNDER PRESSURE. If your opponent is a hothead WIND HIM UP. Common sense would help our cause.

Yes, i have a respect for Pele, especially after reading his book to wonder how he came back from that. Mcguire, well i never liked him as a footballer, so he's found his level.

I'm not going to the game becuse whenever we have beaten Celtic I'v missed the game for whatever reason. Also I feel I'm a jynx this season.

With you on this one Mannie. Would add little to what we have already and if he isn't good enough for a new contract at Hibs.......? Johnny Hayes wasnt good enough for a new contract at Leicester, Ryan Esson wasnt worth a new contract at Hereford, it dosen't matter where they were previously. When it comes to getting the best out of players with a point to prove we are arguably the best side around for it.

Emotionally....one of the biggest crashes I've ever suffered as an ICT fan.

Has to be the same IHE Kilt outfit that has graced the last two cup wins - and they havent been washed since.

You've obviously been more successful than me at erasing from your mind the absolutely gutting 1-2 game.

I wouldn't be erecting a statue to any particular individual. However, it's always bothered me that, as a club, we seem to shy away from everything pre-1994 so a pair of statues depicting the Eagle and the Thistle in recognition of the clubs roots and the work done by everyone to get us where we are would be most appropriate, IMO.

The quality of match officials has been on the decline for years....despite them being paid more now than they ever have!!! It's easy to throw technology out there as the answer, but so many errors are being made over the course of a game these days that matches would end up running for hours on end with all the stops to check videos or whatever. Sadly, as with many aspects of the game, the problem has been allowed to get so bad that it's going to be tough to fix....and to fix it, the SFA would need to admit there's an issue in the first place. I think a grade 1 ref gets about ?800 for an SPL match these days....an amount that is seldom reflected in their performance on the park. Many of our players are on less than that, and the "oh but they come under a lot of scrutiny because of TV these days" is not an acceptable excuse for them having a bad game. They certainly wouldn't be around for long if the were consistently under performing, so why should it be any different for the referees? Maybe if they worked more than a handful of hours a week for their money and spent more time on personal development and reviewing match videos to identify instances of cheating by players (which then get punished) then things would start to improve.

It erks me when all away teams say Inverness is a hard place to take the points, especially when they have been the team with 12 men, one wearing black! No excuses, tonight we were not up to the task as a team, Utd were the better team and outplayed and out passed us. However, we didnt need the ref giving every slip, trip and fall to united. Two players in particular werent wearing studs tonight, as every time they were tackled, or not, they went down. Disgraceful tactics in my opinion, but a ref on a poor night bought into the fact that the team with the best disipline and least fouls conceded in the league turned into a South American hatchet eam for the night. We must have had 3 games worth of fouls given against us tonight. Some how I think this then feeds into the psychie of the players, as everytime they went to tackle the utd players they were getting pulled up for it. I noticed that they were even lifting their arms before the utd players were hitting the deck and yet when we were getting fouled on most occassions the ref played on. NOT FAIR, BUT WHY DOES IT SEEM TO HAPPEN ? Do refs hate coming North aswell, so they take it out on us on the pitch . Tonights ref was certainly inconsistant and was by no means a "homer" . The crowds reaction also seems to confirm that this was not just my thoughts. Ironic cheering if we got a free kick. Several times tonight a foul was given against us, where a minute later a similar foul against us was waived away. Blatant dives or simulation by utd players were not dealt with by the ref, Mssrs Conway and Goodwillie were an embarresment tonight. Thought the SFA and SPL were going to get tough on the simulators. Though their antics were not inside the box it is very frustrating to see players use these tactics minute after minute, right throughout a game We need stronger referees, and a 4th official who can use technology - replays and tough action on cheats to rid it out of our game

I'll be wearing my 2010 away top, a scarf from our last cup win over them and I'll bring a colouring book for Lennon (but no crayons) may keep him quiet for a while in the stand.

Looks right to me Luke. When I think of Celtic, All I see are Neds. They just cant get enough, they just cant get enough burberry hats, scarfs and gloves oh they just cant seem to get enough of... bur bur bur bur burberry bur bur bur bur bur bur burberry.
