  1. Good 1st half and end to the game. Dodds didn’t react to the change in formation when Vigurs came on at half time and the extra man in the middle exploited the space between the defence and midfield. The 3rd goal steadied things particularly after Cove made further changes which helped both defence and midfield. Many positives but we need to lose the habit of losing control of games including when the opposition makes changes.
  2. Cammy could have done better with the first goal but to be fair it was a shot which moved from one side of him to the other quickly and these can catch even top keepers out. Bewildered how some are blaming him for the second goal however and this is just deflecting criticism from the defence in not holding a line or dealing with nothing more than a simple lump forwards
  3. Was there any point in red carding Campbell if he is allowed to effectively still sit in the dugout? Good cushion from Mckay
  4. Time for a change of full coaching team.
  5. Blaming the officials deflects from our failings. We are a team which huff and puff but lack quality and cutting edge.
  6. Is this a football forum?
  7. Each year group has a paid full time coach in line with Project Brave. Some overlap in past years with players also coaching.
  8. Sounds like season may be stuttering to a stop already with 7 staff at St Mirren testing positive and increased testing instructed for all Premier League clubs. Thought Nicola had single handed eliminated the virus!??
  9. Given recent trends in attendance I think social distancing is already in place

    There is a very strong argument to move away from the current restrictive environment around alcohol for all but the high risk games (e.g. Old Firm, etc). Having a more social feel around this area is not the full answer but a more balanced approach to this will certainly assist.
  11. I’m assuming that if the courts rules to cancel promotion and relegation that Uncle Roy will tell Dundee Utd, Raith and Cove to accept their medicine
  12. ?? Furlough is available till 31st Oct with tapering off from August
  13. Should perhaps be changed to say "the controversial Red John pumped hydro storage scheme". At least conroversy fits in with our recent exploits
  14. Group behind proposed Red John Hydro At Duntelchaig
  15. https://ictfc.com/end-of-season-2019-20-squad-update Announcement on players leaving and staying
  16. What are you expecting any statement to say? There may or may not be any games next year. In the meantime give us £350 of your money (I know that you may be about to lose your job but it’s better in our bank than yours). The silence is because the whole of Scottish football is in a mess and don’t have a good way ahead which everyone can agree on
  17. Devine was always an accident waiting to happen. We have benefitted from a couple of ricks since he left when we played both Partick and Dunfermline
  18. Yawn. Oh sorry, think I fell asleep
  19. Rumour is circulating that this time the appeal will not be heard by the Three Blind Mice!
  20. It’s been pretty obvious that we have lacked firepower up front since the start of this season. Jordan is a very honest player but is not a goal scorer and is not a target man in the traditional sense either. If we had a Shankland up front we would be a shoe-in for 2nd and possibly be able to challenge for 1st.
  21. Game is off
  22. Oh no you didn’t!
  23. What a manager says to the press always has to be taken with a pinch of salt so I don't read too much into Robo'scomments. I could copy and paste much of what I said after the last home game against Alloa however and Robo seems to be watching a different game in not recognising our limitations. Whilst Jordan is clearly an 'honest' player and puts a shift in it is clear that the manner in which we play is heavily affected/constrained when he is on the park and we become one dimension and not a particularly great dimension at that. The first game against Alloa with Curry up front was a different style (even though much of our play was sloppy). When we play Jordan we effectively operate with a player who lacks mobility and will only play in front of the defense. This works fine for a target man such as Higdon or Brewster who will hold up play bring others in, etc. Jordan is not capable of this and it is made worse by the number on times he is on his heals and reacts slowly to balls coming his way. Whilst the standard of ball forward to him was not great (wind had a part possibly), he will either not connect with the ball or if he does none of our players know where the ball is going hence why it breaks down. Against better defenders the physical presence is nullified and we effectively end up playing with 10 men. We also end up with the ball coming back very quickly and midfielders lack options and therefore have to play sideways or backwards. Others can be criticised from yesterday however when I saw the team before the game it was demoralising in that the game went the way I expected. I employ three Arabs in one of my offices down south and they all were hoping we would play him as they think we are an easier team to play when he is up front as we are predictable and can be stopped playing without much effort.
  24. Gave my son a hard time for not challenging him and leaving him with a free header ?

    Arrogance?

    A non story and some unnecessary personal insults!
