Very interesting. Perth certainly have seen better times. Would ICT ever get 6000 average? There are only 6000 households in Inverness central.

And finish on a downer? These players and the management team have just finished the best season in the club's history. I'm sure the easiest, most obvious, and most honest answer for TB was to criticise the performance, but was that how he or the club wanted to round off their best ever season? No. All he did was put on a brave face, and save face for the players, who, for 90% of the season, have exceeded expectations. It was one game, maybe two, where they fell short. That doesn't mean you discredit a year's work and leave your staff with a negative. you applaud the positives. As for the chairman being relieved etc. it's all a bit tongue in cheek. Don't do a disservice to the main body of work, however disappointing it was to every single person.

Why have ICT been at the top table for so long while other more established clubs, with much bigger backings and advantages have finished below us and struggled? Luck with managers? Good scouting? while other clubs have driven themselves into unmanageable debt and their future is bleak, we are surpassing them in every area. RC must be paying some of the players I saw yesterday a lot more than what we are, I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I'd rather miss out on Europe because we were fiscally responsible than drain our resources on January signings, as that is what I saw yesterday.

Poor Pepper, being hooked before half time is never good (wholly justified as it was). It was a half-squad really, out of position, young & rusty players, it was a big ask. RC bossed that game, and we just hoofed and hoofed. But it's done and the positives have to be put to the forefront. If you'd said before the season started RC were to be in 5th place, we'd have been mightily worried. But alas, they are still in our shadow. The beach balls will be back, Derek

Did Adams really say "the beach balls are burst today" on the radio???

Where to from now? Reguero, Shinnie, Hogg away. Mass exodus or nucleus kept?

It is indeed, but we can't let it overshadow a first top six place. Europe could have meant two games yes, but 4th is a bigger achievement and done by some fantastic performances. Terry wouldn't want us to mourn I'm sure. 3rd next season.

Gutted, had it all. But 4th place, have to look on the bright side, what else is there to do? Lots of cash this season, better situ for next season. And that's that

Imagine a full strength squad. That's the pity of it all.

Time to go for broke, nothing to do but go for it now, not at the 80 min mark, but NOW!!

An out of form ICT, with no midfield, and 1-0 down. Terry needs to reshape it all as there was nothing to praise in that half. But stranger things have happened and Motherwell just need to to what D.Utd did to us. Why not?

Well, it's dig deep time indeed

Coonor Pepper off. He was lost for 30 mins. St J 1-0 up. Bleurgh

Three fouls by Kettlewell, no yellow. Poor. Ref needs to nip it in the bud.

Kettlewell is the hatchet man obviously. Two corners, and a couple of chances

The Crystals, 1969: "Da do run run run" I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still / Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron / Somebody told me that his name was Bill / Da doo ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron ...

Am ignorant of anything linking Ben to ICT. Can someone enlighten??

That's the way of the game now. Probably why more and more managers are opting to stay at their present clubs rather than jump ship, Terry for one. Terry has proven it takes a few years to really mould a team, and the Germans have shown what can be achieved with realistic expectations, patience, and taking a young team through a few seasons before they really get going, as with the Dutch. It's greed, it has pervaded every facet of life.

Wow. What an end to a season it will be. I cannot remember a more important finish, a more prolonged interest, a more anticiapted game. If today was eagerly awaited, can you imagine the 19th?? It is going to be mega.

At first I was affrayed I was putrified Kept thinkin' I could never live without Roy's chequebook by my side; But then I spent so many nights Thinkin' how Terry did me wrong And I grew thrawn and I learned how to get a meme And now you're back from outer sneck I just walked in to find you here with that expectant look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your Mckay If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now ('cause) you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with good manners Do you think I'd be humble Did you think I'd say sit down and hi? Oh no, not I. I will seethe Oh as long as I know how to bitch I know I'll stay seething; I've got all my life to seethe, I've got all my seethe to give and I'll seethe,....dadadada

So, we have to win on the 19th. Still in our hands. Our clammy, shaky hands.

8???? Unreal. That will be some post-mortem 19th is shaping up to be a humdinger

It would most certainly be...but the stakes would be higher than Dracula's Highland Games' caber toss

Swines. I cannot bear the thought of this going down to a derby/Europe melee....I'm too young for a pacemaker

@ Scotty How many miles in the far flung stakes? (I'm weighing in at 5631) @ IHE That's one Billy that's hit the back of the net (Edit: EMI has blocked it in Japan, how...very...apt )
