What an incredible game. The whole day was brilliant and I am still buzzing from it. I can imagine County fans will be feeling sick about losing such a late goal but there is very much a "never say die" attitude about this ICT team again. We have ground out results and fought back when previously we would just crumble and let the opposition run riot (Motherwell excepted of course!) Great pre match banter on the train with ICT and Staggies fans mixing and engaging in some harmless banter. This seemed to run over into the Mallard with a good chorus of songs being belted at the opposition fans from either side of the pub. Quite a squash in that new stand but it seemed to generate a fantastic atmosphere throughout the game. I didn't really hear much from the Jailend but you can definitely hear the supporters on the TV so hopefully the atmosphere came across well. I thought the first half was largely poor, lit up by that incredible strike from McKay. Very poor defending from a County point of view but take nothing away from the finish which was top class and will only serve to draw more attention to the lad with a number of clubs supposedly interested. County did have an effort scrambled off the line it looked like which led to a rapid ICT counter attack with McKay unable to force the ball home. Having watched the highlights again I didn't realise what a disgusting challenge Tokely had put in on Doran as he was about to shot. Disgraceful lunge onto his ankle. Always thought he was a thug... You could see that, when County emerged at the start of the second half, they had had a rocket up their backsides from Adams. They were all over ICT with some really direct and aggressive play. We were struggling to contain them and what a fantastic strike from Quinn to level things up. As soon as the ball left his foot you could see it was going in. A fantastic strike. I dashed off for a whizz so I missed the Foran goal but having seen it on TV he was offside but was also being pulled all over the place by Tokely. Had he not been getting held by the fouling mutant then he might have been able to get out of the way. Adams seems to miss this when talking about the goal for some reason. Definitely a stroke of luck for ICT all the same. Definite stroke of luck for County with Vigurs goal. Horrendous deflection off Raven that sent it looping over Reguero and into the net. Vigurs with the classic GIRUY celebration which riled some of the ICT fans but I must admit I would do the exact same if I was a player and I love it when our guys do it to wind up the opposition. Awful defending for what everyone thought was the winner. Blatant cheating by Vigurs to win the free kick but again ICT didn't cover themselves in glory defensively. We had a great angle behind the goal to see the ball being whipped in and it didn't look like the wall was properly set up at any point by Reguero and we should really have had a man on the back post for balls that come in as this one did. Cue mad scenes from the home fans as they thought they had won it only for Tudor Jones to rattle in a 40 yard effort (Rankin squiggler anyone?) that had Brown completely bamboozled. From the corner someone scored. Maybe Foran, maybe Roberts. Who knows but the away end exploded as if we had won the Cup! Great to see, as The Scarf says, a few of our players rub Vigurs face in it after his premature celebrations earlier. Ever funnier was Adams at the final whistle and he resultant gurn in the post match interview The man is clearly a very spoilt little child who is an awfully sore loser (or in this case, drawer). The guy moans about the timing of the ICT third goal but seems oblivious to the fact that if, as he claims, there was only 92 minutes to be played, then County wouldn't have had time to score their third goal. All in all I thought the game was low on quality for the most part but off the charts in terms of entertainment and drama. I can't see there being another Derby game like that with as much entertainment. Others have already made comparisons to other 3 - 3 games with late goals in Inverness. I mind Wyness grabbing a couple of late strikes to salvage a draw and there was also one where County were 3 - 0 down (I think). This game possibly goes ahead of both of them such were the lateness of some of the strikes that saw one team snatch victory from the jaws of defeat only to get pegged back again and draw the game. After the match there was some great banter in the pub and all the County fans we met were great sports over the result. I can barely remember the train back to Inverness and I was feeling slightly tender this morning when I woke up. Looking forward to seeing the photos on CaleyJags.com whenever they go up. Sadly there's no way I can get to the replay due to work commitments so I am hoping that the match is on TV. After the first 93 minutes (not 92 Derek!) the BBC or Sky would be stupid not to look at screening this match.6 points

I would never boo Rosscoe after the service he's given us and it appears he was treated a bit shabbily by the club when maybe TB should have just freed him if he wasn't wanted. Mind you then County could have got him for much less for the reported £1k a week he's reported to be on, so maybe a good bit of business by TB! However what a difference when you see a player without the rose tinted glasses on once he's not one of ours. It was clear yesterday that the big man is finished. Look at the clumsy challenges he made all through the game, including the unnecessary foul which led to our first goal. Luckily for him he was not exposed to the pace of McKay or Doran at any time or no doubt it would have been a red card. Most of his work involved punting it the way he was facing. Yet he's been one of County's best players this season........4 points

That made the game for me. Vigurs attempting to get it up the ICT fans yet he was left suitably embarrassed with that last minute goal. GIRUY Vigurs!3 points

Really impressed with those guys today, apart from the flares-----that does no good in trying to show that standing and singing poses no danger, they stepped of the train and invaded the Mallard in brilliant form. They sang to the ground. They sang throughout the game-----except when they stopped now and again to see if the County fans were still alive-------and they sang all the way out of the ground and over the bridge. Well done lads and lassies but please leave the flares at home. It may seem harmless but if you miss your throw one of your own could be injured. Thats not a criticism its a discouragement.3 points

What a bitter little man Derek Adams. While he may have a point about Foran's first goal, there was no way the third County goal from the free kick was a foul. Vigurs just fell over! And what's this he's saying about the ICT equaliser?! "There was two minutes of added time and Inverness scored in 93rd minute"?! There was three minutes of added time Derek, did you not see the board? The man holding it was right next to you! I see County really do live up to their ugly reputation. They kick everything that moves and hoof the ball forward again and again. Crude and cowardly football. PS - Did anyone else notice that throughout the game, we were in the sun, while the County fans were always in shadow? Ironic eh!3 points

Well I told you months ago. Viccy Park is no more, the Global no Energy Stadium is a morgue and the Jailend has been turned into a library. At least they have plenty serveries in the away end now but like I predicted they now have a stadium as bad as the Midden. You could say its a SHADOW of what it was. Shockingly poor team as well, greetin faced manager, we got rid of Rosscoe at the right time, he's well past it. The pitch was a bit of a leveller, should be 3-0 at the caleydome if justice is done.3 points

DA moaning about' Fergie time'? He claimed 2 minutes but he was only a few feet away from the board which said 3 minutes and his own announcer said min 3 mins. Moaned about 'offside goal' but not the wicked deflection for their goal or the pathetic fall for Britton's freekick. Mind you it was worth it to see his wee greetin face...2 points

Been watching the match again on BBC. Vincent Lunnie should take a look at Vigurs' antics at gaining the foul from Raven. Raven fouls him early on but he plays on because there's a chance of getting to the bye line. Then when there's no contact he throws himself down.1 point

I was thinking after the game, which County players would get into the current ICT side. It was pretty clear from early on which side was challenging from the title and which one was down near the relegation zone. By my reckoning, Richard Brittain would get in and despite Raven's improved performances over the last couple of months, I think Kovacevic would get in ahead of him. Iain Vigurs skills-wise would be challenging for a place, but with his attitude he's probably more trouble than he's worth (hence the reason why Butcher punted him in the first place). Scot Boyd (despite my previous feelings that he was one of County's better players), on yesterdays showing would not get in ahead of Meekings and certainly not ahead of Warren. The likes of Mark Brown, Gary Glen et all, would be nowhere near the ICT starting line-up. I think if County were to lose Brittain, they'd be in big trouble (hopefully he [and Kovacevic!], will be heading to the nicer side of the bridge in January ). PS - Despite, what some were saying at the time, I thought in October, Tokely overall had a decent game at full back. Not yesterday though, I thought he was rotten!1 point

Adams should fine Brittain and Vigurs for their elongated celebrations in front of the Caley fans when they went 3-2 up. He was so exhilarated that he did not see this on the day but his DVD will show these two players cost them the result on the day. Fair play to the referee that he added on time which by good fortune allowed us to charge up the other end and silence the home supporters. It reminded me of when Barry Robson scored a stunner against Kilmarnock with a minute to go and we went and celebrated while Gus MacPherson charged up the other end, crossed, and they gained a final kick equaliser. Technically Tokely could have been sent off for holding Richie's hand and directing his nose into the firing line and potentially stopping a clear goal scoring opportunity. Clear hand holding by Rossco.1 point

Adams really is a graceless, greeting faced *****. We murdered them in the first half - better football from better footballers. To be fair they came at us in the second half but his comments regarding their utter domination are frankly laughable. Biggest laugh of the day was the sight of those Caley/County "friendship" scarves - please tell me the half-wits responsible went home with the lot. Thumbs up for the smoke bombs.1 point

Just seen the highlights, looks like some helluva crazy game, Caley should finish the job at home I reckon...my other team beat our big rivals Brighton today, so a tidy weekend!1 point

^^^^^^ would be better off at Eden Court seeing Mother Goose than attending the footie I agree with Tokely the booing was a disgrace to be honest it was done by the minority but it was still hugely embarrassing, a guy that sweated blood over the years for this club should never have been disrespected in such a way and I would like to take this opportunity to appologise to him knowing that he will read this thread Dougal You'll be glad to hear....he wasn't boo'd by a minority today.1 point

My heart stopped when the fifth goal went in, fortunately it restarted seconds later when OTJ thumped that shot at the county goal then stabilised when the equaliser went in. Not the best game I ever watched but one to be remembered all the same. Well done ICT you are a bunch of fighters and deserved at least the draw. Longing for the replay now hope it is tellied too. Thanks for the cabaret act IHE, nearly pished myself laughing. Looks like some new customers for tena man in the near future!. You have got till a week on Tuesday to get your stock in. By the way IHE who was the scizophrenic you were feeling at the match,and was it worth it?1 point

Did anyone else see the grip Tokely had on Foran's left hand at the 2-1 already before Ritchie went offside? So a penalty for ICT would have been the correct decision...1 point
