    A point is good under the circumstances, well done to all. Reckon our goal difference could make the difference as we head for the finish line.

    The other results haven’t helped at all. Could have done with Ayr taking at least a point against Queens which would have reined them in. Instead our nearest rivals are Ayr with a game in hand. Also the Pars winning at Morton has stretched their lead.

  2. Well I was on board with it but the Dunc experiment has been a total failure. Listening to his interview on the iPad while still in bed this morning. Mrs Mantis starts using the hairdryer. So one lot of hot air drowning out the other.

    Thanks as always for the preview.

    You can add Chilokoa-Mullen to the long term list.

    Tomorrow is the first home game (league, cups and even the Elgin friendly) that I am missing this season due to a family birthday.

    I will be listening for goal alerts in the BBC Sport app, and am hoping every alert is a home goal.

    With the off field issues, the players and Manager need our support more than ever. Let’s get behind them from the outset and he’ll them win three points.

    The BBC are always about 5 minutes behind. Free apps such as LiveScore let you choose favourite teams and inform you instantly, so fast that they have to correct the score if the goal is disallowed 😂

    TBF we’ve been well warned about not parking on the verge.

    However, I wish the same attention was paid to parking on double yellow lines on the road at full time as cars park to pick people up. It is a hazard and causes chaos. 

    Can’t see what anybody can do except move them on and they’ll just move along the road a bit. Surely they’re not parking, just waiting which is different ?


    Btw I picked up a £100 fine (reduced to £50) at Tannadice this season. They’ve set up an exclusion zone around the two stadia on match days as residents were complaining. So watch out for the signage when we’re back there on the 23rd.

    In terms of raw talent loaning Scott Allan and Ryan Christie are probably up there as the best players we've loaned. Thinking about popular players in on loan I recall Martin Glancy being a bit of a fan favourite ("He's short, but he's fancy").

    But then, the young team even have a song for Wallace Duffy...

    Never rated Glancy at all, even in tier 3, although my only good memory of him is an equaliser against Clyde in 1999 which more or less kept us away from them and we went up along with Livi. The ICT supporters' bus never got past Drumochter that day and I remember feeling obliged to post probably my first ever match report on CTO as very few of us were there.

  6. Special mention to Logan Chalmers. Apparently 12 starts including subs, and 5 goals, notably the two late strikes away at Starks Park which had most of us dazed as we left the ground 😂

    He played the guitar but I am not sure if it was the bass but you might be right.  I am better with cars :wink:

    You know by this time I always have the photographic evidence 😂

    3rd November 2000, Glenrothes. Stevie Saint, Duncan with some hair, Stuart Eaglesham on guitar and Wayne on bass. Not sure about the drummer.

  8. Hard to disagree with Dunc actually. More or less dominated the first half and had a few blocked on the line. Always felt it could come back to bite us.
    Second half was very poor and we relied heavily on the long punt up to Samuel but we had a few near things when the final pass was poor. Looked like 2 stonewall handball claims to me. Arbroath goal was away down the far end but looked scrappy. 
    Not the most memorable trip ever to Arbroath, will miss it although I hope we are in different divisions next season. Half hour delay due to roadworks between Perth and Dundee - should have paid attention to the satnav. Then another 10 mins delay before Arbroath.  Steak and black pudding pie 😍10/10. Plus Mrs Mantis and I have just scoffed two of the biggest smokies ever seen .

    It could be that snorbens was from a poor family and they could not put a shilling in the meter so there was no lights on and that's why it almost seemed to be dark and eerie :sad: and the poor boy was kept in the loft :ohmy: he is fortunate that he survived to become an ICT supporter :smile: 

    The guitarist in Wolfstone was Wayne Mackenzie who I believe was one of the main ones setting up the Ironworks in Inverness but have no idea if he stayed Temple Crescent.

    Wayne was the bassist, no?

    Wonder what will come of this? 

    Not expecting much tbh given the damp squid the 25th anniversary was. 

    As long as they lay on plenty of calamari it’ll be fine.
