Very pleased with another, fairly comfortable 3 points. Pity Dundee Utd got those 2 last minute goals in their match. Very disappointing crowd. Let us keep this good run going and see how things stand in a few weeks. I'm getting more optimistic every week.

A lovely three points for my birthday today. Thank you ICT.

First off, an apology for those who were trying to listen to the live commentary. Unfortunately we had a broken audio cable, which we didn't notice till half-time. So we were jabbering away for 45 minutes and no-one was able to hear us. To be honest, we'd just spent most of the time raving about Sean Welsh... As for the game, that was a stroll in the sunshine. Welsh's goal was a cracker, whilst Walsh got a fortunate break of the ball but finished brilliantly. After that we pretty much controlled the game, rarely breaking out of third gear but also rarely looking threatened. Had our strikers been particularly good today (that White miss in the second half?!) that could have been another 5-0. The back four were all terrific today. Has it got to the point where we stop going on about how good Rooney has been, as if its some sort of surprise? Both the goals came from him getting forward down the right flank and he defended well again. As for Welsh, I think he gave the ball away once, in about the 75th minute. He absolutely strolled it and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him in action. Matches like this are not always entertaining, but the manager must be delighted. Dominant and confident without really breaking much of a sweat. Long may it last.

another good performance today. should of easily been at least 4 - 0 with White missing 2 absolute sitters

And no bookings. BBC match stats suggest it was comfortable. Is that right?

The issues of footfall have been discussed to death elsewhere on here (some really good threads and posts worth searching for), but the reality is that even as you suggest the club get established and challenge for Top 6 every season there wont be a significant numbers increase (remember when we were in the Premiership) - the big issue is the lack of connection between the fans, club & city and the inability of the club to effectively take advantage of success and positives to use as a marketing tool to draw 'new' or 'lapsed' blood into the stands.

Let's not jump the gun folks. We've made a solid start to the season and on present form no reason we can't put Utd under pressure. Even if they end up winning the league no reason we can't finish second : I would fancy us against any team finishing second bottom of the top league (albeit we would have to win the 2nd/3rd 'semi final' first. Just keep racking up wins so the team gain a winning mentality.

Aye if Harry Kane scored a goal like Welsh's today the commentators would have been raving about it. His performances are setting the standard. This was also a very strong team performance. They work and fight for each other. Bit more composure and they can score many more goals. ?

Deserved win, should have been more convincing, but equally we could have let them back in it during a poor spell midway through the second half. Fortunately their clearest chance was headed straight to Ridgers. It is great to be on a good home run, with 6 wins in 6, and there is confidence through the team. Four clean sheets on the spin in the League too There is much less long ball play this season, with a lot of the goal kicks being played short to Donaldson, McCart, Welsh or Vincent. We are a much better team when Welsh plays. The first was a great strike from Welsh, and the second an equally good strike from Walsh after powerful wide play by Rooney. Welsh then had a great free kick saved in the postage stamp corner. Second half was poorer, but White just couldn’t control a rebound after a great shot from Walsh (?), Storey had a great chance when he cut in from the right but got no power behind his shot and McCart hit the post. Ridgers had a comfortable afternoon with really just one save. Rooney is a much improved player this season. Tremarco did all that was asked of him and was unlucky not to control the ball properly when set up nicely in attack early on. Donaldson and McCart did well too. Welsh was immense and Vincent did well alongside him. The sponsors made him man of the match. Doran and Walsh were busy and they and Storey interchanged a lot to mix things up. White had a not bad game, despite the miss, and got the full 90, given Todorov replaced Storey this week. Carson did fine when Welsh got a deserved breather late on. Sadly there were only 1760 there to see it. Very poor! Partick next week will probably be against a team with a new Manager. Hopefully we can keep our run going, but no room for complacency.

A good performance that deserved a better attendance than we had. Some nice football played today.

Good all round performance in a game in which we never looked like losing. Should have been four or five nil but I'll take the two nil any day

Two fantastic strikes by Welsh and then Walsh. Could have been a few more as Queens goalkeeper kept the score down. Queens huffed and puffed but didn't create many chances. Job done. ?

Yes and no. Their attacks weren't very edge of seat attacks. But we were just gash towards the end of the second half. WHY THE FECK DIDNT ROONEY JUST SHOOOOOT MUN.

...Five... Christ on a bike, have we given the Fort other things as well as our weans?

FT 2v0 That'll do nicely, 3 points in the bag and our wee run continues

Utd 0 Arbroath 1 - we are currently in 2nd position ?

Welsh sits no matter what, imo he's far better there and can control the midfield more. Doran doesn't have the legs to sit in the middle anymore and if he needs a rest or a breather it's not as noticable when he's in his normal wide position. Storey for Keatings is the obvious choice and hopefully he'll add drive to the attack from the middle and be a perfect runner off/behind White

Here’s to an enjoyable afternoon in the sun! Hopefully Welsh starts today. Will be interesting to see the front four. Will Storey play the Keatings role or wide? I’d give MacGregor a chance in the Keatings role, but suspect he will be on the bench. Roll on 1500!!

What A glorious day for picking up three points lets hope for a good game.

Sitting in the airport treating myself to a liquid breakfast. Hoping for a big 3 points today. Hear the caley club calling my name

Great idea, just a shame that the club haven't sent out any proxy forms ?‍♂️

There is allegedly a rumour, among some County fans, that Uncle Roy is now also putting money into ICT. Something to do with him divorcing his wife and her wanting half his fortune. I have no idea as to the validity of this.....im merely relaying what i heard.

Hey folks, happy to confirm that we'll be broadcasting free live audio commentary of Saturday's game. It'll be the same process as before, using a periscope link that will go up on the club's Twitter feed shortly before kickoff. Hopefully it'll be a good listen and a good result!
