By getting his 18th league goal of the season, Billy Mackay has overtaken Craig Dargo to to become the ICT player with the highest SPL goal tally in a single season. And there are still 11 games left.

Just seen the highlights - is Shane on commission from Spot the Ball competitions?

Terry does love our support in the main. Especially our away support. It wasn't the loyal supporters he was having a go at it was the rest that don't come to games he had a pop at. So I see no reason why he wouldn't praise our loyal support that attend every game. And Yes he did do the celebrations after the game.

Terry Butcher can We humped the ball into the box, Gary Warren scored and we hung on by our fingernails to win.

the flag just means that we are supporters of the our clubs and should be given more respect s they are milking the fans for every penny basically an objection to hearts over the top prices

It's true what they say....some people are never happy!!!

Let's make something quite clear....TB never slated the support. He asked if Inverness deserved this team....a question I have asked myself a number of times. Unfortunately for TB his comment was twisted by some of the national press and made to look like he was having a go at the support.

Lots of ways of analysing this but if the current form over the last 6 games was translated into the next 6 games (or 5 for those teams with just the 5 stil to play the league would look like this Top six 78 points Celtic (and already champions 2 or 3 games ago) 52 County 48 ICT 48 St J 46 Kilmarnock 45 Motherwell Bottom six 44 Dundee U 43 Hibs 42 Aberdeen 34 Hearts 34 St M 16 Dundee (and relegated) This is actually quite encouraging given our current poor run of results. Teams are all taking points off each other and even if a couple of sides go on really good runs the rest will all be losing a lot of points. Just 4 points from the next 6 games could see us still in the top 6, but 6 points from the next 2 games should really guarantee a top 6 finish. County's currrent form is very impressive with 14 points from the last 6 games and therefore the 2 games against them become huge games. A win against United on Wednesday and a draw at the sand pit on Saturday would make it an excellent week. It feels very uncomfortable with just 4 points currently separating us in 2nd place and Dundee United in 9th. Anything could happen, but realistically for us not to finish top 6 would require us to drop to Dundee standards. I really can't see that happening and I am sure fans of the other clubs in the race would much rather be in our position than theirs.

Strange thing is that many are season ticket holders to sit right there. I normally sit in the Main Stand due to getting a better view of the whole pitch and quite a few times I've had someone behind me getting on their case within the first 10 minutes for absolutely no reason and I get irritated which in turn spoils my match experience so I end up moving to another seat. One of the best things though by going to away games is that those supporters are left behind back up the road. I always prefer the away games more not so much for that but our support is so much more vocal and nearly always gets behind the team.

Doesanyone know the meaning of the flag yesterday " Fans not customers " Very stressful game but brilliant result .well done to all lets go for same over next two very important games

Tbh I don't give a feck how many goals we are conceding its bloody entertaining.

See...................I told ya

He was something else today, banging goals in at one end and stopping them at the other. Ngoo was lucky not to see a red card for lashing out at him, and I suspect he would have had it been the 30th minute instead of the 30th second of the match. From that moment on Warren had him in his pocket, much to the disdain of the Hearts Support. Future ICT captain, IMO.

I have a 12" disc of black plastic with a hole in the middle. Is this a record?

I think we should sign a post-op sex change gay, black/asian, disabled, muslim. That would really sort our attendances out.

You choose where you live young man

Before we target minorities like the Poles etc, remember there's an untapped market of tens of thousands of Invernessians who've never been to TCS either.

There is no feckin way that I am going to jump up and down in the middle of feckin flares !!

This is probably one of the most negative posts I have read on here. Let's get this right - The weather's rubbish. Barnsley get bigger crowds than us. County are "superb" at attracting crowds. we need to improve the product from being second in the league. We are never going to have a bigger fan base. We make sarcastic remarks about "punching" that never happened, but we ought to stop moaning. Precisely how? It's a serious question. This is probably one of the most bizarre posts I've read on here for a while. The weather was rubbish on Wednesday and was a reason the crowd was so low. It's a positive thing to say to those moaning about how low the crowd was because it gives a reason which has nothing to do with the quality of football on offer. Barnsley do get bigger crowds than us but I quoted it in the context of the relative populations - again to put a positive spin on our gate on Wednesday. Their crowd and our crowd were similar as a proportion of the catchment areas. I did not say that County are superb at attracting crowds. I said that "the level of support they get relative to their catchment area is superb". That is a different thing and cannot be taken to imply that our club are not as good at attracting crowds. It simply means that for whatever reason, County get good crowds. That is a fact it would be churlish to deny. Recognising that their level of support is particularly good relative to their population means that by comparison, our is not as poor as some would make out - another positive comment from me. I did not say "we need to improve the product from being second in the league". I said that we should continue to plug away at improving the product on offer. That recognises that the club is continually trying to do just that - another positive thing to say. If you are criticising me for saying that we should continue to try to improve the product on offer it implies you think it would be more positive to make the product worse. I did not say "we are never going to have a bigger fan base". I said "the fan base is never going to be huge" which is clearly something very very different. In that context, I then went on to comment how well we are doing which again strikes me as a positive thing to say. As for "We make sarcastic remarks about "punching" that never happened"- well, excuse me for having a sense of humour. It was not a sarcastic comment, it was a little joke alluding to the scurrilous allegations made against Terry. How anyone could take offence at that is beyond me. Personally I think that having a sense of humour and having some light hearted banter on this forum is a positive thing. Your final point draws attention to the fact that I'm suggesting people should stop moaning. Personally I would have thought that suggesting people stop moaning was a positive thing to say. You conclude by asking what you say is a serious question when you ask "precisely how?" we ought to stop moaning. To be honest, I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean. How do you stop moaning? Well - don't moan! I don't know what else to say. And whilst claiming my post was so dreadfully negative, you conveniently ignore what I would have thought was a very positive suggestion that the club invests in some serious market research to identify why folk don't attend and what would encourage them to come. Finally, you seemed to have missed the ending of my post in which my final few depressingly negative words are "enjoy our elevated position whilst we are doing so well." Again I would have thought that reference to the team doing so well was a positive thing to say. I have to say that I really can't remember when I have seen a post so misquoted and so misinterpreted. No doubt there have been many much more positive posts than mine but I would have thought it was an objective post with a positive spin. I cannot see how it could be construed as negative and to claim that it is "probably one of the most negative posts I have read on here" is complete and utter nonsense. I have no issue with people disagreeing with me and pointing out I am talking rubbish when I am talking rubbish (and I do from time to time!) but it really is not helpful to constructive discussion on this forum when posters are serially misquoted and misinterpreted in this way.

Gordie pointed out a prior discussion where we talked about the effect (or not) that quality of football has on attendances....and I think price also falls into that category. I'm not saying that lower prices would not attract more people, but there's not enough (if any) room in the budgets for clubs to be reducing prices to a level where it would have an appreciable effect on attendances. Although, IMO, there's a lot could be done to still make football more affordable to families. What the club need to do is remove the mental block between price and attendance....and I do think some of it is down to the thought of handing over a £20 note (or more) at the turnstile. Asking people for a lump sum also creates that mental "how much!!" situation. How would people feel about an interest free Direct Debit system? Not finance...but the club operating the scheme directly and allowing people to pay for their seasons football over 10 or 12 months? I only ask, because this seems to have been very successful at other clubs....I think it's Norwich City where over 60% of fans pay this way, and who have doubled home support in the last 10 years or so (they actually have a waiting list for season tickets there these days). What is even more important though is fan engagement....but people need to realise that is a two way process, so if they want the club to engage with the fans, then the fans have to be willing to engage with the club. Only then can both sides begin to understand each others issues and come together to find solutions to them.

WTF?! Plural!? There's more than one? Please God NO!

A traditional red and blue stripe strip would be a start.

We do have a tradition. It's called "Beating County".

Flares, smoke bombs and pitch invasions.
