Doran, with 366 appearances, has drawn level with Richard Hastings in 3rd place in our all time appearances list. 3 more will put him into 2nd, overtaking Grant Munro.

A very good three points but a very poor performance. Cove were stuffy and got a lot of players behind the ball and challenged us to break through and we struggled for long periods of the game. Once we got close to the opposition penalty area we ran out of ideas most of the time. Very few killer passes were made. Shaw in the first half was able to pick a killer pass to find Mckay and although he found the net the linesman, eventually, put his flag up. The opening goal was a low free kick effort from Vigurs about 20 yards out. It seemed that Ridgers possibly expected him to send it over the wall but instead is was cleverly placed along the ground into the bottom corner. I didn't see exactly what the penalty was given for but I thought at the time it was a pull on Doran as he got in behind the Cove defence to chase down a high ball over the top. Strange that no card was given by the referee. Mckay leathered the ball into the net from the spot to take him eve closer to Wyness' goal scoring record. Doran had a hand in the winner as well after he collected the ball in the box after a cross from the right found him. He laid it off to Harper who coolly cut inside his marker and lashed a shot past the keeper. Towards the end Ridgers pulled off a stunning save to deny Cove an equaliser. I think we just about deserved the win but it was a game that was very low on quality. There were only about 3 or 4 good bits of football played all game which at times seemed like a pre season friendly. For us MacKay and Samuels were really disappointing and both are struggling to make things happen during matches at the minute. When Doran came on and Shaw moved to the left we looked better almost right away and Boyd was also decent when he replaced Samuels. Probably time to start them both on Tuesday.

Just back from my technology free holiday, and what great results from the boys. It happens every year - the team lose faith, we lose faith, we all threaten not to buy a season ticket next year - and then ICT pull some magic out of the hat, and we all enjoy a nerve wracking, nail biting finish to the season .....keep it up boys, this is what it is all about and who knows where it could take us, both in the league and the cup. Oh, and I got my T shirts today - thanks to all those involved ... all set for the semi final.

What a rollercoaster of an afternoon. With 25 mins to go, our campaign looked pretty much over, but now we are right back in it for the playoffs.

A much better second half - positive. Could have had more goals after the second if we’d taken shots on. Instead did a lot of little passes around the box, which did at least demonstrate pretty impressive close control. Might have regretted that had Ridgers not pulled off a great save near the end! Was impressed by Boyd when he came on for Samuels. Neat and looked confident.

We are due a win against Hamilton. We need be focussed for the whole game. A win puts us third and heaps pressure on Partick and Ayr.

Cammy Harper GiRFUY

I blame Billy Dodds.

Another hard fought three points at a potential banana skin. The games are coming quick and fast, and unfortunately we are running out of games, obviously hoping to win, but also to increase our goal difference. We just have to give it our best shot, as we are in a position I didn't think we'd be in several games ago.

Hamilton is a massive challenge after what has been achieved so far. They really are a tough nut and it is quite remarkable that Tuesday's game represents by far and away our biggest challenge this season. Meantime congratulations to the Club for the result today. We need everyone to play out of their skins on Tuesday.

I'm scared already lol

Unfortunately.......... TUESDAY 18TH APRIL Hamilton Academical 19:45 Inverness Caledonian Thistle That's enough to make your keekie winker twitch...

MATTHEW 8.26

After the last two home wins and the way the team played I am now up to 7 never thought I would see that a few weeks ago!

OK what number do I put for downright scared re Tuesday...lol

It's quite remarkable that no points againts Hamilton are the difference between us challenging for automatic promotion rather than pushing for a play-off place, and could yet cost us that too. Also remarkable that Partick just a couple of games ago looked challengers for title and yet we could catch them. Anyway great result again today, without Henderson. We could do with having Duffy back soon to give us the option of pushing Carson forward, if required to give Welsh or Allardice a breather

And what an exciting league - 3 games to go and 9 of the 10 teams still have something to play for.

The question now is, how much rotation before hamilton game? can we affor to rest either allardice or welsh? not been impressed with woods yet personally, personally wouldn't have him in the midfield 'pivot' holding midfielders. Delaney maybe to be rested after his knock just at start of 2nd half? Well done to Aaron Doran on seemingly changing the game after he came on with the winning of the penalty and the assist for Cammy

Well that was close

Yes!!! good on ya Cammy!

Need 2 goals now...

Can I change my Cove fgs to Jackson Longridge please, thanks

Sorry about my earlier reply - I forgot we were away !!!!!!!!!!!!

It's simply another must win game for us. I hope we bang in a few goals to entertain our travelling support and keep us happy at home

Accies losing tonight gives Cove all the incentive they need to go for three points tomorrow.

Highlights up on YouTube! Not anywhere near what we used to get with Andy and his crew but I suppose its better than nothing... Don't think we will be appealing that red card. Henderson ends up practically stamping on the guy's foot. Great counterattack goal for the opener, though one of Arbroath's midfielders doesn't half sell himself easily (and I imagine will get a lot of stick from Dick for not chasing back quickly). Good movement by the attackers, particularly Shaw and Henderson to create space for the latter on the right and then in turn for Shaw in the middle. Unbelievably stupid shirt tug for the penalty. Nice spot kick from Allardice, mind. Keepers don't normally have a hope if it's in the roof of the net, even if it isn't quite in the corner.

Up to a 6 now. Fat lady isn't singing yet

Two goals now
