This is just a wee reminder that the supporters represent the good name of the club and the city tomorrow. There has been a bit of worryingly aggressive "banter" on twitter over the last day or so (which most people on here will be unaware of) and whilst CJT or me can't tell people how to behave please remember a couple of things; don't go on to the pitch under any circumstances. No "pyro" or other banned articles (County have a list attached to each gate) and please, no aggression to other supporters. We have an away support that has a great reputation as a noisy, colourful and passionate bunch and we've worked really hard for that over the years. Let's keep it that way and enjoy our new year the way that only we can. Cheers.

My summary - ICT - brilliant. County - terrible. Fans - Terrific! That is all.

Lazy cut and paste from a similar topic of your five favourite footballing moments of 2014. Two aren't strictly ICT but there are (tenuous) links to us so they can stay in for all I care! 1) ICT 2 - 2 Hearts (ICT win 4 - 2 on penalties) League Cup Semi Final Down to nine men, going into injury time and trailing 2 - 1. Up steps Nick Ross to fire home the equaliser and send the game into extra time. A great Dean Brill save from Hamillin the penalty spot and ICT eventually, against all the odds, win the shoot out and are off to their first major final ever. Let's ignore the final though :( http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25900500 2) Ross County 0 - 3 ICT An absolute pumping of Ross County at a venue where we hadn't won in 10 years (although mos of those years we were in separate divisions). I like the Staggies fan at around 4:50 who makes to throw a bottle at Watkins but thinks better of it and backs down. 3) Terry Butcher joining Hibs I was disappointed to see him go to Hibs but in a fabulous bout of schadenfreude ICT fans were able to see Butcher fail spectacularly and take Hibs into the SFL1 after a laughable run of results. I suspect he won't regret the move but sometimes I do wonder what we might have achieved that season had he stayed with us. Still 4) My favourite ICT goal of 2014 this Aaron Doran strike v Ross County in another derby win in Dingwall 5) Jamie Hamill v Derek Adams. Nothing more needs to be said here

You seem upbeat considering you lost.

Great game, great atmosphere, great result. We were in a different class, passing and moving sweetly, their only response was obstruction, fouling and disruption. It could have been four or five. Back on track, a good morale booster. Watkins might struggle for Sunday with a heavy looking bruised leg. He was outstanding, the interplay at the front is great to watch.

ya feckin beauty

Sorry I couldn't make it. Surely we get to keep them now?

Oddly enough I'm kind of pleased. I just don't want him to go to Aberdeen!

Job done. 5 bookings to the cabbage men, 3 goals to (hackers) ICT. Just paid my annual visit to the parochial wee hate-fest that is OTB. They don't like us much do they

Ugh the Dons have scored again and what jubilation by the pungits............

Seems poor show that a big derby (for us anyway) and there is only OAM coverage. Shame the club can't have their own radio channel - though I guess it's due to copyright rubbish and costs?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the worst poster ever in CTO history voted by us works for said organisation does he not? Dougal Congratulations. When did you start?

Nah...it's just me! But to clarify, I also don't mind where the goals are coming from. If we compare our leading 3 marksman with Aberdeen, for example (both add up to 23 goals) 5 - Mckay, Watkins 15 - Rooney 4 - Tansey 4 - Pawlett 3 - Doran, Christie, Meekings 4 - McGinn Which is 'better'? Well, neither, in my book. Both achieve the same end...23 goals. Most seasons we've had a 'runaway' leading marksman, Iain Stewart, Dennis Wyness, Adam Rooney, Billy McKay etc. and that's absolutely fine - it's a 'pattern' at many football clubs. This season, we're witnessing the goals being spread around - also great. But neither 'pattern' is preferable to the other. So I had a wee 'pop' at what I perceived as an inference that our current spread of goals was an improvement on our more familiar pattern. But aside from that, I was 'due a go' at Yngwie after that picture he posted of me. (post # 7) My glasses do NOT look like that! I'll stop digging now.
