Further to my earlier comment and I don't like being overly critical, but I wish we would stop sending high balls to Billy Mackay.They haven't worked all season and didn't work today.The Dundee number 5 won every one of them.When we sent long balls to the wingers we did better.Missed Welsh today as he can control things from the centre of the park.All said and done though a good point fought hard for.

Sorry for going back to an old thread, but….. Well we did it, 13 points gained from those 5 games and it is all in our own hands now. Two big games ahead now!

My automatic promotion dream is over, but I do not regret having faith in a team who have been amazing in the last few weeks and who have been crippled (sorry) by injury at times in the season. Things are even more nerve wracking now, with most of the contenders for the play offs still having a game in hand. We will have one eye on the league while we are away for the cup semi final next week. Hoping Arbroath, Queen's Park and Raith Rovers can win their games, since we can't catch QP without a massive amount of goals now anyway. Things are going right to the wire and our game against Ayr will be a nail biter. Well done boys today - enjoy your day at Hampden.

Spot on Douglas. Billy was dwarfed by the defenders and was given little opportunity to get in behind them. Better when we used the pace of Dan Mackay and Austin Samuels. Duffy also offered his services late in the game when we pushed for a winner. Gritty stuff from us as we were firefighting for large parts of the game. End result was what was important and we never lost. Cheers

Really missed Welsh in the middle, just someone to hold the ball and give the defence a rest. Well done to Cammy for giving it his best shot but when Carson moved in there you could see a big difference. Thought Duffy did ok when he got on so that’s your right back sorted for next week! great subs by BD. Taking on the pace that put the frights up Dundee. Well done Danny McKay as well - touch is still pretty poor but looked determined when he came on and it was a cracking cross for the goal. Dundee are a tidy side up front and they pressed well resulting in a lot of misplaced passes. Was delighted to get in at 0-0 but slow start to second half as well, however but he end Dundee we’re clinging on good atmosphere as well! onwards to next week!

Well at least that puts all this title dreams crap to bed!! Let's go on and secure our play off place now!! We looked very tired today especially in the 1st half. However a hard well deserved point in the end!

At the end of the day, that was a good point, considering I thought Dundee were going to blow us away in the first twenty minutes, we could hardly get in their half, and their striker missed a sitter. They were quicker than us and had sharper passing, but didn't trouble Ridgers too much. I didn't see what happened for their goal, it looked very scrapy and we did well to come back. Dodds got his subs right today and when we went to a back three and pushed Carson into midfield we started to cause Dundee some problems, which resulted in our equaliser. I thought at the end we might just steal it, buy we have to settle for the point. So it's down to the Ayr game now, and by Friday 5th, we will know exactly what we have to do.

What the feck - good point and other results in our favour - let’s march on Hampden and prepare for the play offs

After discussions between the clubs, Rossvale have backed down and are now opting for Caledonian Locomotives.

BBC: "90' Billy Mckay (Inverness CT) wins a free kick in the defensive half." Not bad work from the bench

I’m hoping both sides are fielding ineligible players.

I have said all season that we haven't scored one goal from playing Hoofball, but continue to use it in most games, and create most of our chances and goals by playing fast passing football on the deck. Great run from Dan Mackay setting up the goal, we could be doing with a lot more of that.

Yes, and well done to the Dundee fans who quietened down before applauding for Tommy

A gritty performance today to get the point and nearly snaffling three towards the end. We miss Welsh in the middle but have to say Allardice did the work of two. Dan Mackays run to create the equaliser was good and Samuels kept the heid to finish. Still plenty to play for; dust down and on to hampden

I'll take a draw.Dundee threw everything at us first 20 mins and could have been one up but the striker missed a sitter.As the half went on we came more into it.Second half similar start for Dundee and they had all the pressure.Don't know what happened for their goal, was Ridgers unsightly by defender.Good subs by Dodds today at the right time and as the game went on I thought we could have pick pocketed them and stolen a result.At the end of the day the boys did well to get a draw and with other results going our way we have play offs in our hands.

Be interesting to hear from those there today. Based on the BBC text, I will take that. It keeps things in our own hands for the Ayr game. Partick and Ayr slipping up has helped too, but sadly CaleyHedgehog’s title dream is over. County are starting to look a bit detached at the bottom of the league: it would be nice to pass them on the way up!!

It's now down to bottle... Who has it, and who doesn't.

You can do it boys. I have every faith in you.

Crunch Time Big game in the Highlands on Saturday as Champions in waiting Dundee head North to the Caledonian Stadium. It's a 3:00pm kick-off, and a big following is expected as the Dark Blues look to get the automatic promotion slot ahead of the imploding Queens Park and the unlikely trio of Ayr United, Morton and Inverness who are making a late bid for the top four. There will be a minutes applause ahead of kick-off in memory of former groundsman Tommy Cumming who passed away on 20th April. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tommy Cumming RIP Match/Ticket info Your Cub Needs You Scottish Cup Tickets/Travel AGM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Venue Pld Won Drn Lst For Agst + / - Home 17 7 8 2 27 16 +11 Away 21 7 9 5 29 26 +3 Neutral 2 0 0 2 2 4 -2 Total 40 14 17 9 58 46 +12 Overall we still hold the advantage over Dundee in the forty games played.

Naughty boy Paul McGowan was not in the squad. Inverness were still without 75% of their first picks but Daniel Mackay made his comeback last week and Ryan Barrett made his debut against Stirling in the Cup. Paul McMullan opened the scoring midway through the first half after cutting in from the left before curling past Cammy Mackay. Almost a second as the ball deflected onto the bar before Mackay picked up the rebound after the half hour. George Oakley missed what appeared to be a sitter from eight yards as half time approached as Aaron Doran swung in an inviting cross. With no further scoring in the second half, Dundee took the three points and Inverness remain in sixth place, but starting to slip off the pace. Last Time Out The games have been coming thick and fast for the Caley Jags in April. However we have stood firm and handled the pressure well so far. It began well with a 2-1 win at Morton on 1st April. Raith Rovers were despatched 2-0 a week later. A midweek win saw Arbroath go down by the same score before we came from behind to beat a determined Cove Rangers 2-1 at Balmoral Stadium. Then our nemesis, Hamilton Accies. We had to come from behind again with goals from Nathan Shaw and an 88th minute strike from Billy Mckay to earn the points. Billy is now on 98 goals chasing the all time record of 101 by Dennis Wyness. W W W W W W Dundee had to come from 3-1 down at home to Morton to snatch a 94th minute equaliser. Kwame Thomas was the man responsible for rescuing a point when defeat was staring them in the face with twenty minutes left. Luke Hannant levelled the game in the first half but Morton established a two goal lead before Thomas saved the day with two late strikes.

He certainly carries a threat and has linked up well with Nathan Shaw recently. Duffy, MacGregor and Ram all missed out at Hamilton. Hopefully no new injuries but it's been a tough schedule in recent weeks and there will be some weary legs around the Caledonian Stadium. Pretty much confirmed that Sutherland and Walsh will probably see no action this season. Dundee starting XI v Morton last week Legzdins Mulligan Sweeney Ashcroft Marshall McCowan Maguire Cameron Hannant Jakubiak Robinson Full bench as well: Kerr, Byrne, Thomas, McMullan, Lawlor, Williamson, Fisher, Clampin, Reedy Here's hoping they can keep McMullan on the bench. He has been a thorn in our side in recent years and scored a good goal in the win at the Caledonian Stadium back in December.

Was really good to see both sets of fans applauding. Quite fitting as well on the day the Invincibles were there. Tommy was a Jags fan and shows that for all the differences we can unite together I’m sure Tommy would have enjoyed that. Best pitch we ever had

A fitting tribute to Tommy who gave so many years of loyal service to the club.

Falkirk pumped Alloa 1-4 today. 2 former players on the scoresheet: Brad Mckay and Kai Kennedy with Liam Henderson bagging two.

I thought 1200-1500 and they were in fine voice and as usual Billy Dodds was getting a lot of stick although he would not be bothered by that.

Emotional minutes applause at stadium today for a few of us. Known TC since I was a child. Sleep well Tommy.

Ah well! Title dreams over, but play off in our own hands if we beat Ayr. It is just possible that a draw will do against Ayr, but that depends on how Morton, and PT get on in their final 2 games. But, first of all lets just enjoy the day out at Hampden next week. Good luck lads.

Can you change MrCaleyjag's foret Dundee scorer to Cameron and mine to Maguire please, thanks

Even if we lose tomorrow the play offs are in our own hands if we beat Ayr. A win tomorrow and a draw with Ayr gets us there. If Ayr slip up next week that helps too!

Really is must win now. Nail-biting even for a play off place

Yet another MUST win for us tomorrow can't slip up now!

Yes, a draw, or an Ayr win, would keep our slim chance of winning the league alive, at least until tomorrow.

A draw suits us. Ayr slip up and we remain ahead of them, whilst caleyhedgehog’s dream of us winning the title remains alive….

Let’s do it for Tomack. He would certainly have scared off the Fat Lady. Onwards and upwards

Yeah they need something unique and original. Given how bold they have shown themselves to be, how about “Caledonian Braves”?
