Well I would bet mucho spondoolicks that the 194 ICT supporters who witnessed this performance would rank that first half performance as the most fluent and effective that we have played in a long time. I would class it as entertainment personified and the singing must also class as the loudest and most prolonged in years as well - even though a few idiotic barstewards tried to ruin it. Storey coming off at half time definitely affected the rhythm and Rooney was nowhere near as effective in midfield - although he had done enuff in the first 45 to win the MOM by a country mile. We started off as a 4-2-1-3 but were forced into a 4-4-2 in the second half. I reckon we would have trounced them if it had stayed the same. We totally controlled the first 15 minutes and then we were treated to the goal of the season which will be very difficult match. McHattie fired a pinpoint 60 yard cross field ball which found Rooney in miles of space. He then moves forward and we expect a looping cross. Well he cut it back along the 18 yard line at pace and DORAN smashed it into the corner. And only seven minutes later Rooney is at it again and at the end of a speedy counter attack KEATINGS cooly chipped it home. And we all thought that Storey had smashed in a second but unfortunately it was the side netting that bulged. And as we drew breath we wondered if the second half would be more of the same. Alas Storey going off, presumably injured, we probably lost our system. Brad McKay coming on at right full back and Rooney moving into right midfield. Harsh maybe but I feel that we should have taken on McGregor. But don't get me wrong - we continued to boss the game. We never really looked like grabbing the third but Dundee never looked like scoring either. We did play a low lying back four but they won nearly everything and our workmanship and pressing was excellent. The only negative is that we may have lost three more squad players but let's hope that none of the injuries are serious and that Welsh and Walsh will return soon. Do it is a very happy IHE who sips his post match voddie and let's hope that 2002 brings more of the same. Smileymometer to follow ?

Oh no you didn’t!

Caley D - small d Tonite we are ALL Happy Clappers ?

Robert - my fellow Happy Clapper - it was Todorov. But it didn't look serious. More worried about Storey. Well worth the £16 concession. Pretended I was as old as Donview ?

Today just makes the Arbroath performances even more inexplicable! But our 0-0, 1-0 and 2-0 in the “6 pointers” against our biggest playoff rivals is a tremendous set of results, well done ICT.

Nurse...he's broken into the office and got on the computer again!!

Me too. Never a fan of the ugly sisters and never will be. Look out for scores of Elgin, Clach, Fort William and Brora out of interest but only ICT for me.

As long as he is not Fan E

Ousmane Fane.

Excellent result...we need to keep going to secure that 2nd spot, whilst putting a little pressure on Dundee Utd in case they get a nose bleed. Let's hope we don't have to sell anyone i the transfer window. I'm up for the Ayr away ame end of the month and really looking forward to it.

A good day, makes for far more comfortable reading this week - and like politics, a week is a long time in football! Well done to Robbo and all, a very important result

I agree well worth the £16 student concession from my old student card came in handy.

I’m allegedly a happy clapper and am certainly not a fan of either of the Glasgow ugly sisters! Like most on here, my only team is Caley Thistle, although having been brought up there, I admit to looking nervously for Fort William’s result each week.

Ridgers ???? He is becoming a major bonus. Another deserved clean sheet and three tremendous saves. Rooney ????? Simply superb in the first half. Not as effective in the second half when moved forward but covered every blade of grass McHattie ???? Was unsure to begin with but he and Coll looked like a real partnership. And that pass to start the first goal move was "World Class". Donaldson ???? Looked more like the Coll of yore. Won EVERYTHING. Tremarco ??? Solid if not spectacular but Dundee did play mainly down our right flank. Vincent ???? I thought that he was superb and you could see him continually supporting and egging on all around him. Trafford ??? Grafted but defended more than gave anything going forward. Keatings ??? Very well taken goal. I felt that he too suffered from the enforced half time goal. Desperately needs a striker who knows how to be a foil to a number 10. Storey ??? Has so much potential but frustrates me that he does not take people on more often. Still a striker to me and not a winger. Todorov ?? Sorry but had a big chance to make his mark but did little to impress. Simply not a holding target man. Doran ??? What a finish as only Aaron could do. He is the one person who you think could do something impromptu but lacks pace these days BUT still worth a starting place McKay was a bit of a bomb scare at times, Carson is tireless and White looked good and hopefully continues to look over his shoulder at Toddy. Robbo got it spot on today but I still think that he should have taken on McGregor at halftime but WTF. And even Robbo the Ref gave us far more than he usually does ? ???

After hearing why Cove sacked Aird (offensive gestures in the Rangers end at the Old Firm match) the day before his contract expired we don’t need him here.

7 shots on target. Liking that. Happy New Year all

Judging by match stats we are having a stormer so far ?

0-2 Keatings !!!!! ?⚽️?

Get in !!! 0-1 ....... Aaron Doran, great goal ⚽️?

I don't think that is what he was saying last week. It wasn't that they are not good enough, it was that their performance last week was not acceptable. In fact, he made a point of praising them for the good home performances of recent weeks and said that is what makes last weeks poor performance so disappointing. In other words, we need the players to perform consistently at the levels they have demonstrated they can perform at.

I agree with Kingsmills - I have always preferred pure grass to any synthetic alternative. And is there any reason why the Ferry Winos cant use Highland Rugby Club ?

Shinnie. Shinnie again, What a chance here! AND ITS PUT IN BY RAVEN!

Credit where it's due. Sounds like we had a great day, well donr lads aand management. Had actually hoped to make it until I realised that I had the Panto to go to lol.

Mckay....small 'k' ?‍♂️

People stop with the denials just come out in the open embrace your love of the ugly sisters while also looking out for your small team i.e. iCT it's fine who am I 2 judge your bigoted selves I 2 once followed the queens 11 until the Caley v Airdrie game back in the day!

Why not most of our happy clappers are Rangers fans he'll appeal to them! Besides it's a bargaining chip bigoted Canadians not in big demand eh!
