This fan rampage has been blown out of all proportion by the do gooders brigade. I don't condone violence or wanton vandalism but ffs, do we really want to go back to the BBC2 Old Grey Whistle Test days when Lynyrd Skynyrd were giving it their all, three guitars blazing and an audience of cultural viewers with beards and polo neck jumpers clapping politely whilst bolted to their eats.. I know which I prefer. However, keep the replies polite and wind yer neck in guys as some of the replies are getting personal.

One of the hallmarks of our club over the years has been patience. How often have players been prematurely punted by other clubs only to flourish in Inverness? Lest we forget the mediocrity of the likes of Billy Mckay, Graeme Shinnie or Barry Robson in their debut seasons for us. Give these new guys a chance. Players come into their own when they're settled, happy and feeling at home.

Good to hear he is well on the way to recovery. Hope he gets signed up soon as he has been a big miss this season.

Good informative article. I would love to see Aaron given a new contract and the opportunity to establish himself again as a first team regular.

It's not just related to these guys though. I genuinely believe that if we had made Shinnie a (damn good) offer in the summer of 2014 he would have signed it. That's not to say that we would have retained him but at least we would have gotten some cash for the guy had he moved on. Instead we didn't try and offer him a contract until the midway point of the season by which point his head was already being turned by what else was out there. Bottom line, if you want to try and keep your players and avoid other clubs coming in and nicking them for buttons try and start your contract talks a little bit earlier. Something ICT seldom seem to do.

Ended 1-1 with Andrew Macrae scoring for us.

Has Hughes not been played mainly out of position for the majority of the appearances he's made? Harsh to judge a player on that.

I like Hughes. Didn't think he had much of a chance to do anything in the other games as there was nobody anywhere near him for him to knock the ball down to etc. And would like to see a bit more game time from Roberts...I wonder if he's still not fully fit?? Him and Mutumbo may be good value one year extensions? Their down time may keep them cheap enough....

Joe the young fans create a great atmosphere and long may it continue but surely you are not saying that the only way they can do this and enjoy themselves is to act like complete d***s!

It's a great shame that a thread that should be celebrating a welcome and comprehensive derby triumph has deteriorated into a debate about the conductof a few fans.

Starting on stewards- is that the same stewards who antagonised the situation by their over zealous heavy handed approach? The stewards behaviour was, I would suggest, like a red rag to a bull. Shouting at police - the same police that were hurriedly called to the section by the stewards who were fearing for their lives because some people were jumping and singing oh the humanity! The police that were then video-recording said singing and jumping. I'm sure they were politely asked to turn off their cameras........ A small pitch invasion....are you having a laugh!!!! One guy jumps over the barrier to celebrate a goal and it's a pitch invasion.....behave herself mun! and I agree, there is no place for foul mouthed hate filled chanting at a derby match......because that doesn't happen at a Dundee Derby or the old firm or Manchester or any London derby.....nope just those unacceptable ict fans..... and I witnessed a lot of pro ict songs. More than I ever did whilst sitting in the main stand at TCS, now....if this is what you want from football then you crack on. in fact, the 'support' that I have witnessed while sitting in the main stand at TCS is far more derogatory to the club than anything that happened through in Dingwall. Sitting in silence, only breaking that silence to deride every single pass and decision by every player and the management, whilst simultaneously tutting that the opposition never make a mistake and are just perfect.....the players hear it and pick up on it! the atmosphere on Saturday was described as fantastic and electric by the Beeb....this was of course as a result of the tremendous support of the two teams by everyone in the ground, except for those in section d.......because they were just childish hooligans! FANS NOT CRIMINALS

The young fans have brought a great new dimension to our games both home and away recently with their noise and colour which I am sure is noticed and greatly appreciated by the team and the vast majority of the rest of the fans. It would be a great pity of that positive image they have generated for both themselves and the club were to be tarnished by immature and criminal activity by the few apparently endorsed by some misguided posters on this site.

Sounds like we're going back to the darkest days of hooliganism in the 80s. Folk used to complain how quiet our fans were. I'd be interested to know how many seats were actually broken. And if some of our fans were so out of order, why weren't there complaints from County? Why didn't the police/stewards take some action? Personally I think it's great that we've now got a loud, vocal, enthusiastic group of younger fans. Fk me, those complaining should try attending something like a Spurs/West Ham game, like I did earlier this season. They'd walk out in disgust after 5 minutes!!

The team needs good vocal support and I don't think there is anybody who doesn't think the increased vocal support from the youngsters recently is great. But there is a world of difference between supporting your club by making a lot of noise, and harming your club by behaving in a way which might involve the police and which might result in the SFA taking sanctions against the club. You're smart enough to know what the difference is, so please continue to support the team by making a lot of noise - but just leave it at that.

Maybe they were not seen as good enough. Why make offers if we don't really need them. Players come, players go. New season same ****. It's nothing new.

Disappointed that they are going? Yes, but but inevitable I fear. Devastated that they are going? No, Vincent will always have a place in our hearts for his winner at Hampden. But he has hardly played since through injury. Williams I think is a 'nearly man'. Decent player but never quite made a position 'his own' so that it became impossible for Yogi to leave him on the bench. Edit Don't know why Rig's blank quote appeared. I didn't intend to quote anybody!

They are far from our best players. Injury prone and bit part player.

Not me who is looking down my nose at our fans my friend as it appears anyone who disagrees with you is not entitled to say so. Didn't say anything about people being hurt or if seats were broken but if fans are behaving in an unseemly manner, even if only a minority, it can reflect on the club and perhaps discourage people from attending which is the opposite of what we both want.Being of a generation who have sung and shouted at football matches for over 40 years, I am happy to sing and support my team but will not sing along with certain songs if I think they are offensive. Enough said by me on this topic now.
