Who's going to manage the two teams, is it Terry v Mo? I'd like to see Renegade given one of the teams so that we can see those legendary formations in action.

Just a small point, Jonny 'I have been incredibly patient but have not lost my amazing enthusiasm' Tuffey made his SPL debut last Saturday and started with a clean sheet. Your smile,enthusiasm, work rate and International call ups, has probably pushed Ryan to great heights this season but your professionalism has been first class. Well done.

You want Hamilton to stay up for the sake of sportsmanship and fair play? Really? That is an interesting and somewhat beautifully ironic debate .... should we ourselves 'cheat' by fielding a lesser team or putting in less effort so that we can punish St Mirren for the 'cheating' of one of their players on Saturday ......... I say NO. Hamilton and St Mirren are in the position they are because over the course of the season - like us two seasons ago - they have not performed well enough over their last 36 games. If the midweek games mean that there is anything left to play for on Saturday then it is for St Mirren and Hamilton to take it to their opposition and fight for their own survival. For ICT to aim for anything less than a win is disrespectful to Hamilton, to St Mirren, to themselves, and to all the fans who will travel to the game, including the Highland Marchers who will be putting in a supreme effort to get to Saturday's game.

Russells run was badly and illegally ended by a St Mirren defender, namely Lee Mair. It should have been a penalty as the ball was not won by the defender. In his guilt and to try and deflect away from his foul the aforementioned defender accused Russell of diving which ensured a short burst of after words. Lee Mair in the heat of the moment didnt appreciate the truth being spoken and grabbed Russell by the throat and pushed him away. A straight red card for lifting his hands in an aggressive manner. However Russell did not like this chocking and pushing action, so carried out a strange manouver, where with both hands he grabbed Lee Mairs jersey and preceeded to slam him with his chest - an old tribal greeting. Enter the snipper in the bushes ajacent to the stadium, he fired a clear shot that struck Lee Mair right in the Kyle Lafferty, his legs went like a guy kicked in the jewels by a donkey. The ref was away from the scene but the stand side linesman had a great view of the action, or Lee Mairs back, so he would likely not have seen the throat grab, but did see the bullet from the snipper. On departing the field of play, Russell in his shock saw a manager called Lennon, and started shouting his opinion on his teams tactics in an audible manner which the majority of the crowd were also thinking. Hope they appeal, as I think there are grounds to reduce this to a yellow, but there was contact, chest to chest, but the snipper is the one who should be responsible, as otherwise it was handbags. As far as Russell Duncan is concerned, you are still a legend, and this will not sour the memories we have of you in the red and blue

Good afternoon ICT fans, Yeovil Town fan here in peace. Our season ends tomorrow after we play Carlisle away so we have announced our 2nd pre season friendly and we play you guys, which will be the first ever meeting between us! Date of the game is Tuesday 12 July with a 7.45pm kick off. Game to be played at our Huish Park ground and I am looking forward to it. Will be the first time we will see Adam Rooney since his loan spell with us. Are you on tour in southern England? For those that don't know, we play in the third tier, League One where we ensured suvival two weeks ago making next season our 7th at this, the highest league we have ever played in. I have always looked out for your results for some unexplained reason, ever since you and Ross County got elected. Hope you have a successful end of season.

From what I can see Duncan gets into the box well after beating a man. Mair makes the initial challenge which looks fair. As the ball breaks to the side and Duncan goes for it, Mair inexpilcably traps Duncans legs quite deliberately with the referee only feet away. Should have been a penalty there. Next Duncan has a wee stooshy on the ground and Mair says words to him before raising his hands towards Russels throat. It seems as though Russel has instinctively and in the heat of the moment reacted whilst getting up by grabbing Mair by the arm and chest bumping him. Lee Mair then took a tumble. Whether the act took him by surpise or he took a fall only he knows. I've seen players dismissed or cautioned for acts like this. Sometimes they will only get a talking to. David Weir goes on a shoving match every weekend pretty much and did it last time Rangers were in Inverness (may even have been to Duncan ironically) and gets away with it. I think with the Referee having not seen it (had his back turned), and the linesman having a restricted view then there are perhaps grounds for appeal. A talking to or a booking each would have sufficed. But I can see why the linesman interpretated it the way he did. If it is only ?1000 for an appeal maybe a whip round between fans and team mates could be arranged. It would be a sad way to end his tenure here otherwise.

No disrespect to Brentford but I think he should be aiming higher than this.

Or even better, let me be manager for the last two games! After all, there's nothing to lose!

I wonder how many Samoans we've got over on trial?

Russelldinho & Granto

For me it's all about next season now. Give all the youngsters a game, along with any players the manager is still undecided about. As for the bit about affecting who gets relegated - well, if we end up fielding our weakest team against Hamilton and severely p1ss off St Mirren and their fans, so much the better.

I'll go...think I'll walk there after the Hibs game.

I hope Mair gets his shopping delivered by Tescos, it must be pretty embarrassing for him otherwise, if an old lady bumped into his trolley he would be rolling and writhing about in one of the aisles, far safe to get it delivered. I would say Duncan was brought down in the box attempting to go for the ball by Mair, Duncan was frustrated that he didnt get a penalty.Words may have been exchanged, Mair grabs Duncan by the throat,Duncan pulls Mairs shirt and gets pushed by Duncan's chest, Mair becomes terminally ill for 30 seconds, collapses and Duncan gets sent off. It should have been Mair sent off for violent conduct and fouling inside the box (preventing Duncan from reaching the ball by trapping his legs)and penalty to ICT, Duncan didnt do enough to warrant a red. Appeal, appeal,appeal Mair you are an embarrassment you sacrificed you Honor and dignity to get a player sent off to give ST Mirren the upper hand, it back fired as you still lost, not only did you lose, you lost your respect from fellow professional footballers, spectators of the match and anyone who watched the highlights. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/13329040.stm

I'd happily put some money towards an appeal for Duncan if the club weren't willing. A yellow for both would have sufficed.

Looking back over match reports, Munro started the season well, had a dip, got farmed out to full-back, then got on back form towards the end. Not too unusual for many players - has Rooney or Ross or Cox been any more consistent?

Did anyone else see Ryan Esson having a right verbal go at the St Midden goalie just a wee while after Russell was shown red? Well done big man.

Mair is an absolute disgrace for feigning a headbutt from Duncan in a delberate and blatant attempt to get a fellow professional sent off. As usual the stand side linseman was shocking and misread the situation completely. Made all the worse by the fact that it means this is now the last time we will see Duncan in an ICT shirt (unless Butcher appeals the sending off, but frankly i don't believe he will) Personally i think that, if it comes down to the wire, we should throw the Hamilton game to get these cheats relegated.

In a surprise attack yesterday, special forces commanded by military chief Sir Terence Butcher were finally successful in their mission to assassinate Grant Munro and Russell Duncan. It is thought that Munro and Duncan had been hiding out in a remote and mountainous part of Scotland for the last 10 years. Much of that time was thought to have been spent at a training camp east of Inverness, where the football fundamentalists attempted to radicalise other recruits into believing passionately in their cause. In addition to reading sacred texts from the Kerrang, the pair were known to pray 4 times a day in the direction of Mosstodloch in honour of their mastermind, known simply as “Pele”. Pele is understood to be the spiritual leader of the group of known as Al Qaholica, for whom the Highland region has long been a fertile recruiting ground. In a bizarre ritual, sympathisers and followers are understood to congregate regularly in known meeting spots, chanting “Qhali” repeatedly after consuming vast quantities of intoxicating liquor. Another of Pele’s henchmen, known as Ross Tokely, is understood to have escaped. “I’ve been after Tokely for years” sighed a disappointed Butcher. “We located him and sent in the helicopters to take him down, but he swatted them away like flies. I then implemented plan B, which was to call in air strikes. At first we thought they were having an effect, but then it became apparent that Tokely’s reaction was simply laughter because the missiles were a bit tickly. He’s got away for now, but believe me, I’ll be doing everything I can to get him as soon as I can, and the same goes for any other Pele sympathisers I come across. Roy? Golly? Nobody is a better manager than me, is that clear?” Butcher himself had a long and distinguished military career, seeing active service in warzones such as Govan. He notably received a commendation for bravery after losing all his limbs in the midst of a battle but insisting that a simple bandage would enable him to carry on. Commenting further on yesterday’s successful operation, Butcher added “This mission to get Munro and Duncan was a long time in the making, and Tulloch Caledonian Stadium will be a better place without them. Munro thought he was getting a new contract but it was a simple misunderstanding after I said was I was taking out a contract on him. He was the one I really wanted because he was leader of this cell and I’ve tried to take him down before, but Duncan had been protecting him for years, thwarting numerous attacks. I’d also seen horrific videos on the web of these guys in action. Some of the ones featuring Duncan portray absolutely shocking scenes of heading.” Another detail of the operation to emerge is that the initial plan was for it to be carried out by a crack Israeli unit. “But sadly, he got injured.....again“ said Butcher. “In fact even when he’s not injured, he’s actually pretty ineffective, but we’ll see, I might give him another few years just cos I hired him and he’s not one of Pele’s followers.” The whereabouts of the remains of Munro and Duncan was the subject of much speculation, but Butcher confirms that they were taken out into the Moray Firth at night and pushed out of the back of a dolphin cruise boat, in accordance with strict local custom. But this hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists speculating that the two will somehow “come back to haunt” Butcher. When asked if his next mission would be to tackle a group of Irish Republicans believed to be a potent attacking threat operating in the Inverness area, Butcher quickly gets up to leave the press conference and makes for the door with fear evident in his eyes. “’Kinell, I ain’t messing with the likes of Ritchie Foran! Fundamendalists, no bother. Mentalists like that, no chance!”

The best a man can get.

And don't forget that VAT is 2.5% higher than last year. A lot of people are having to work through pay freezes though.

after eight years i think i might have to give it up.to many early/late kick offs.

I think you need to go to spec savers I never saw a punch and watched it a few times . What Duncan did was bumped him with his chest .Take another look

They certainly haven't been anywhere as near consistant as Grant but they are in the Richie Foran clique so are basically bullet proof

I'll probably get slated but i think he deserved his red there. Yeah it wasnt serious violence but if you decide to bash someone you take the risk that they'll fall and if a referee just see's this out the corner of their eye then the only guilty party is Duncan. He should know better by now so I think he let himself down there. I would still love for him to get a run out in the next game though as I feel its deserved after all he has done for this club

Stonewall red card, Pedz threw a punch....had to walk unfortunately!!!

Dont think it was a penalty and Duncan seems to punch Mair in the chest so definite red card I'm afraid , the bbc highlights show it clearly at 1min 53 secs in .
