We've not been playing well while C(o)unty are on fire. Cownty are much improved since the transfer window and winning is the best cure for anything. But as the home team they never really created much. I thought the first half was a bit like the cup game. We probably shaded it and looked the more composed side. Also like the cup game, Cownty got right in our faces second half from the off. Our defence stood firm and were never really stretched but midfield to front we seemed to think the game only lasts 45 mins. We seemed to sit off them in midfield and Brittain was getting time to spray these passes left and right, although he's not got the class to make killer passes anyway. Graeme handled Sproule well but he never did much against us anyway even in his prime. Pitch was awful, both teams made loads of unforced errors but it seemed to affect our flair players Shinniesta and Doran worse than others. The ball wouldn't run for Jones either. Some people's distribution was even worse - yes that's right Dave the Rave, we mean you! Back in the summer everybody was saying how Cownty's park would be better than ours. I did warn you that Viccy Park would become the Global Energy Library - was I right or was I right? Travelling back over the Kessocko isn't our place a sight to behold? No contest. Bring on the 16th.

Having seen the highlights, Vigurs could easily have got a red for that. Raven was booked for nowt. Also TB stayed in his tech area. Adams came over. No need. The Meekings claim was never a pen. He turned side on and the ball struck his shoulder. His arm was outstretched though so if it had struck his arm further down it should have been a spot kick. I presume the other claim was the one down the Jailend which they never showed. Definite pen from ShinniestaLite though. Derek the Seethe is truly a horrible, ungracious little man.

For me, It's not Shinnie's style to go flying through the air for nothing. Clown of a referee who got worse as the game went on, gifting County soft free kicks and giving us nothing around their box.

I didn't really hear any gypsy songs yesterday. No doubt hundreds of lives were saved as a result.

Was so blatant that no video replay should have been needed. unfortunately does'nt matter what anyone thinks, it is the referee's decision that counts every time. some people say do not complain about ict stadium anouncer without trying it first. maybe some should have a go at refereeing before criticising

I think we can safely assume that if we were to gain a European place we would be accepting it.

From Motherwell FC twitter................. 5 mins - Chris Hogg header cleared off the line but ref spotted foul 11 mins - great save from Stewart to turn a Polworth shot round the post after strong run from Sutherland 17 mins first effort from Well but Murray's header from Watt corner was easy for Regeuro, 23 mins - Polworth shot from 20 yards lands on the roof of the net as the game goes from end to end 28 mins 0-1 Polworth drives the spot kick to the right of Stewart who was left with no chance. Looked a pen 34 mins - Inverness have taken control of the game since the goal, keeping the ball well without creating anything so far. 36 mins - Penalty - GOAL 1-1 Erwin takes the kick himself and despite the keeper getting a touch the ball hits the net 41 mins - Ruguero punch to edge of box see Erwin's volley fizz just over the bar 42 mins - 1-2, Sutherland sees his first shot from 15 yards blocked by Devlin but the ball lands back at his feet and he smashes it in. Half Time and it is 2-1 to Inverness in what has been a fairly even first half, Well not out of it by any means. Experience of Hogg, Polworth, Pepper and Sutherland is making a bit of a difference for the visitors. 51 mins - GOAL 2-2, Dale Shirkie's shot from the edge of the box somehow finds its way past Ruguero, good start to the half It looks as though Ruguero was fooled by a "wicked" deflection for the equaliser 55 mins, game has picked up pace as both sides look for the winner, with corners at both ends failing to trouble the keepers - good stuff 61 mins - 2-3, Sutherland gathers a loose ball at the edge of the box and fires a fine shot into the top right hand corner 62 mins - second sub for ICT, on comes Kyle Whyte replacing Dachi Khutsishvili 63 mins - Ashgar hooks over from close range after ICT defence fail to deal with a corner Couple of Leitch corners cause panic in ICT defence but somehow they scramble them clear - still 2-3, 25 mins to go 71 mins - Sutherland almost bags his hat trick but his angled drive slides just wide of the post 75 mins - Pen shout as Leitch goes down in the box, nothing given, would've been of soft variety if it had been 79 mins - final change from ICT,on comes Calum Ferguson for Jordon Gibbons. One of highlights this afternoon has been the grasp of Industrial English from ICT's Spanish keeper! First words you learn in any country 82 mins - Sutherland desperate to bag a hat trick, but this time his shot his miles wide from edge of the box ICT will play the last five minutes with ten men as centre back Danny Devine limps off with all three sub already on 86 mins - Thomas drags a shot wide from the edge of the box, time running out for another equaliser 87 mins - stunning strike from McCafferty crashes of the bar with Reguero beaten, unlucky not to be on level terms with that one We are now heading into stoppage time, no 4th official but I would guess there will be about 3 mins added on Full time 3-2 win for Inverness in what was a reasonably entertaining 90 minutes, Well goals from Erwin (pen) and Shirkie

Just saw the highlights. Stonewaller. Ref was clearly out of his depth yesterday.

please! oh please! tell me you wrote this is tongue in cheek!

The condition of the pitch combined with the shocking condition of the pitch meant that this was never going to be one for the purists. The number of mis-kicks from both teams reflected this and neither defence sought to take too many chances. Looked like a penalty to everyone except MacLean and Adams, though to be honest this was just one of many poor and inconsistent decisions. Can't remember which county player took a dive in the first half however there was no card shown yet he takes a different path for Shinnie. Ritchie clearly was not fully fit. Billy ran out of steam after about an hour and we seem to lack a replacement or at least someone who Butcher thinks can consistently replace him.

One man did his best to keep the score level and that was the clown that officiated this encounter. A painted face and a pair of oversize shoes were all that was missing from referee Steve McLean as he went about his routine...........

Was it Crawford Allan because if I remember right it said the ref was Steve Mclean on the BBC text. Beg your pardon, It was McLean. Should be naming and shaming the linesman who was right in front off it. PURE SHOCKING!!!

who cares

Penalty from where I was standing. Thought the ref lost it in the second half tbh

Can't believe no one has mentioned the pitch or the ref yet, not sure which was worse both were a total disgrace.
