He really was utterly crap, Storey I mean...just as well we didn’t blow our budget on him Alan Simpson? ?

Posh and Becks you must be on the hard stuff tonight!

Storey was only good for us at that point as we literally had zero other players who knew where the goal was. He was decent at first but very quickly I felt his enthusiasm and quality drained away, and he looked disinterested and lazy. I did like him as a player, at the time and I felt another club might get the best out of him but that's a few that's tried and ultimately failed. Wouldn't have him back for free now

The best possible way to celebrate our quarter century is to start the anniversary season as a Premiership club once again.

3 points top o the league and 3 goals ............... happy as larry?

Apologies if this has been posted before. Looks like the club are after ideas to celebrate us turning a quarter of a century old. http://www.ictfc.com/index.php/news/club-news/2300-ict-25th-anniversary-celebrations‬ I like the strip and Bolton idea. Whatever ideas they go for I just hope they're affodable for the average fan. e.g. no £100 sportsmen dinners at the Drumossie.

I disagree that we shouldn't do anything for it, honestly there will always be 'better' things to lend resources to but events or ideas needn't cost vast sums of money. Things like a commemorative strip could be cost neutral. We've accomplished great things in a relatively short space of time and I think that it should be celebrated in some way. Hopefully generate a bit of a buzz and some more interest in the club. Naturally winning the league would be the best thing we could do but I'd like to think that's our aim regardless of the year. That said it's my youngest's birthday soon and as cash is a bit tight perhaps I should tell her there's no party this year as quite frankly there's better things we could spend the money on. ?

good result .... icing on the cake for me was arriving at the TFC game later that day and seeing 3 guys in the seats next to mine (father and two twenty-something sons). They are not regulars in those seats and must have bought the tickets from the usual season ticket holders on the ticket exchange. Got talking to them and they usually go to a different section of the ground, one son was a Celtic fan, the other a Man U fan but the dad was a Partick fan !! Had to rub it in just a little bit

Please note that, having spoken to the Social Club, we can confirm that the bus will depart from there at 12:15pm and then head to Railway terrace for pick ups at 12:30pm. I'm told that the Social Club will be serving breakfast from 11am for those who want a bit of food before they depart ? Can also confirm that if there are any unsold seats on the bus, then these will be available on a first come/first served basis on the day.

Directly brought about the first two goals. Hopefully he can be signed on a new contract before Jan.

Far more positives than negatives from that performance. We were efficient and clinical in the first half taking our chances when they came and generally out playing Patrick. When they did get a chance from the penalty spot, it was well saved by Ridgers who seems a completely different player from the one that Robbo had no option but to drop a quarter of the way into last season and who appeared transformed on his return weeks later. So fortuitous in so many ways that OFW picked up his injury when he did. It was inevitable that Patrick were going to come back at us in the second half, they didn't suffer the same sort of cull that we did last year and are still packed with Premiership players. Perhaps we could have defended less deep, perhaps we could have conceded less possession and remained a bit more positive but the fact is, while we always looked like conceding a goal or two we never at any stage, were in danger of surrendering the lead and that against one of the better sides in the division. A special word for the often unfairly maligned, Liam Polworth, worked tirelessly and was man of the match, in my view. I really hope he is fit for the drop to Dingwall next week. Can't fail to mention the officials, they were utterly incompetent again. If it's this bad in the Championship just how bad is it further down the chain. I recall referees in the Highland League being a great deal better than this lot. We really need to look seriously at the way we train and assess our officials.

The tactic we’ve adopted recently of taking a 3 goal lead seems to be a pretty effective one. I for one would like to see Robbo continue with it.

I think I'm pretty cool about that second half performance. Partick had a lot of the ball but actually created very little until the last 10 minutes. And the second goal came when we were down to 9 and a half men, with Polworth limping after Oakley had gone off. And for the half an hour after our opening goal, it was indeed just like watching Brazil. I'm not sure how well that 4-2-3-1 will work against teams that sit in against us, but when we're away from home or against opponents like Partick who come to have a go it works really well. White is the perfect striker for it, holding up the ball and linking play really well. His movement also dragged the centre-backs all over the place, opening up space for others to run into. Doran and Polworth fed off him well and both kept finding pockets of space between the lines with ease; they were the two best players on the pitch in that first half. The first goal came when, after a counterattack, the ball broke for Polworth who smacked a shot off the post from 20 yards; the ball spun around the six yard box and White got there before the keeper to bundle it in from close range. The second was from a Polworth corner that was headed back across goal; Cammy Bell then flapped it down to Rooney who hooked a volley into the net. The third, Welsh's penalty, was the result of Polworth (him again, for those people out there who still don't like him) robbing Ntambwe and racing clear, only for the Partick player to haul him down. Even under the new rules I think it should have been a red for Ntambwe given it looked like a shirt tug rather than an attempt to play the ball. Partick had started brightly but went to pieces as soon as White scored. Even when they got a penalty of their own (which looked a soft one to me) Ridgers saved from the hapless Storey. It was great to see Ridgers get such an ovation - a penalty save is worth a goal, after all. The second half was a non-event, but I can't say I felt worried at any point. My main concerns were losing Rooney and Oakley to injuries and Polly looking lame too. A top of the table Highland Derby next week? Sounds like fun...

Great! Now, I hope complacency does not arrive on the scene. However with John Robertson in charge I doubt that. Well done that man and his lads. Top of the league, eh? My! My! Who would have thunk it before the season started?

Just above second ??

No. It's a fruit and veg stall. He still has some bad apples to offload.

Why are we second in the league when all the fans have been moaning and saying we are terrible?

Why since Grant munro left has there been no ict players in the caley club.Ryan esson would come in for a beer now and again.wouldn't do some off the board any harm to lower themselves to the suppoters level and speak to the people that fund this club.

Why don't we play in red and black vertical stripes and have the urinals painted blue ? ?

Too feckin EASY - WE ARE GOING UP WITH THE SIMPSONS

Some players fit certain teams Miles and us wer like Posh and Becks don't judge the great man in the colours of the ***** thistle!
