We just won 3-0 to retain 2nd place. SUCCESS.

After every game, I think "it can't get any better than this", and the team keep proving me wrong. Long may it continue! I felt we were just about the better team in the first half, though Langfield only really had to make one save, a terrific stop from a Foran header. Aberdeen looked dangerous until Hayes spurned their best chance of the game early in the second period, denied by a great Reguero stop. After that, there was only one team in it. All three goals were superb. Did Andy Shinnie catch out Langfield at his near post for the first? He seemed to have the ball pretty much on the by-line, yet he found the opposite top corner. However he did it, it was just sublime. The second might be the best team goal we'll score all year. I think it was Doran who drove from midfield, then Draper back-heeled it into McKay's path, and the wee man shimmied round a defender and stuck it in the bottom corner. I can't wait to see it again. For the third, Raven crossed, Andy Shinnie got in front of one centre-back to flick it on, and McKay was quicker off the mark than the other centre-back to pounce and smash it in. I can't think of any particular criticisms at all today. It was a great team performance. Most of the praise will go to the attackers, but the defence played very well today, with Raven and Meekings real stand-outs for me. I was worried that the three weeks without a game might have sucked our momentum away, but no sign of that yet!

I've been thinking for a while what a good piece of business it was signing up Josh Meekings, Certainly has the potential and now showing what a great player he could become and go on to much greater things.

:laugh:

I think we might be safe from relegation now! Our 37 points matches the highest ever for a relegated team (us) and our GD is currently 33 better than it was then. I declare that phase 1 of our mission has been accomplished.

Nothing to add that has not already been said a slow first half but a GREAT second half performance and a cracking result against Aberdeen, well done to all!

Well done again to all involved with our reborn club, excellent result and a clean sheet to start the new year. TogetherNess is paying of. Good luck for next week lads you are making us proud.

Had no trouble in hearing the ICT fans today!!!

A really important result for us in keeping the momentum going after the break and all the off the field issues. After a fairly indifferent first half for both himself and the team, a touch of real quality from Andy Shinnie turned the game and after that we were different class. If Shinnie's goal was good, MacKay's first was even better - and his 2nd wasn't bad either. For me, MacKay was MOTM by a country mile because apart from 2 great goals he never stopped working for the team. Meekings was superb as well. Just a mention for Nick Ross and Philip Roberts who came on as very late subs. No sooner were they on than they were involved in a great move which nearly produced a goal which would have rivalled if not bettered MacKay's first. There is real quality on the bench and you have to think that if Hayes was still with us, not only would he not get into the starting eleven, he might not even get on the bench. Very impressed and happy with that performance.

Hayes just ducking and diving, moaning and groaning, but financially better off. Today's game was critical. It would have been a disaster if we had lost leaving Terry and the team in no man's land. That said, every game is now critical especially next week and if we manage to work harder than Hearts and edge past them, Charlie Bannerman will be able to follow up with ''Against All the Odds 2012/13''.

What a great team performance, Im really delighted with the players we have this season and cant wait for the Caley Jags Away day next Saturday. Just like the last match against the Dons, we opened them up at the back time and time again. ps welcome back Meekings

Exactly! Wasn't this forum that started it. It was that ICT Fans Facebook page.

6TH MINUTE APPLAUSE ? If you want something to work let people know about it.

One Terry Butcher was sung during the game today, time it was sung was irrelevant.

Fantastic game especially the second half. First half was very sluggish but it's understandable considering the 2 week break they just had and I thought Aberdeen were the likely of the two to score. Second half was so much better and we dominated the game - credit where credits due. There's a great spirit within the squad at the moment and like said up there. "Long may it continue" I whole heartily agree with that. Bring on Hearts and Let's go and paint the town Blue and Red next week

I was at the game when it went ahead. Also got the belt of Mr Baillie for being spotted on tv on the news.

Jeez, are we getting like Englandshire or what? a bit of snow and its panic stations, send a couple of snowploughs up and down the road, its not just football traffic that use's the A96 after all. Going to be pretty cold this afternoon, going to need a dram or 2 to fight the frost!!!!

In my hurry to post I must have missed the fact that the tongue in cheek emoticon hadn't loaded up!

According to wiki Michael Mcintyre is funny...
