Updated: Scottish Cup Quarter Final Draw
love watching the draw if my head had a speech bubble it would read ''home draw home draw, no no no not them, relief, home draw home draw, no no no not away to them, good glad there out the way, yesss home draw, them or them not them, yes falkirk, good draw'' very good draw, home and playing a team of similar standard, possible revenge of CIS, chance of hampden appearance (1st for a while) what a difference two weeks make positivity is rife, looking forward to survival battle and chance of cup run for the remainder of the season

McBain's Red Card
Iv not seen no highlights but i felt driver went down very easily. Even if McBain fouled Driver for the penalty i doubt it was worthy of a yellow. The ref decided to wait 3-4 seconds before making the decision (whilst the HMFC players were screaming at him) no advantage was available as Driver was on the floor so he couldnt have been waiting for that. It appears it was a will i/ wont i decision and he decided to give it. A straight red for foul and abusive language in this day and age is in my opinion riduculous! Swearing at officials happens all the time in Football but it seems the 'linesmans' wanted to make the headlines. Im not saying disrespect towards officials is right but it must happen all the time. If it was a 'big name' player i doubt it would be a similar decision by the linesman. We were well on top until the sending off. Esson(wat a keeper)tially that decision changed the game!

Rossco's yellows
ross = legend exactly what the club needs in a relagation battle. If more players had the same attitude we would be alot better off woods tackle was a wee bit late, booking at the most

We want a cup run
I dont agree with the rest the players for the cup game idea when it is the national cup and gets a saturday slot. Fair enough in midweek give some players a rest who need it but if you rest players they have 2 weeks without a game and may lose match sharpness. A win may bring some much needed positivity and confidence for the players. PT will be well up for it so any contemplacency (which would be shocking given our current position) will end in yet another defeat.

pre ibrox prophecies
Totally agree with that line up iamthecaptain. Full Backs both need a shake up. Worth giving esson a run. If the strikers arnt doing may as well play with somebody in behind having a free role. I bet barrowman is a cracking poker player. He bluffed us rotten over the summer to land a 3 year deal!

Dennis Wyness
I take it tokely is victorious is joking? Wyness is our all time top scorer with over 100 goals. Wyness is a gent and should be treated as such. Dargo on the other hand did well and scored lots of goals but is simply numbers in terms of ICT's history. Dennis record will last for a long time. shuffle!

Dennis Wyness
Would be digusted if he was booed. When he played against us with Hearts i remember he got a good reception. Hopefully a good reception to start with then get behind the players in red and blue.

Falkirk V ICT :matchday thread
Although that was my 2nd game of the season it was my 1st actually watching the team, keep alcohol away from the game kids!! hugely impressed with the youngsters, as mentioned earlier these guys will attract interest very quickly if they perform like this most weeks. Long term deals should be offered very soon. Duff was man of the match in my eyes, perfect game and even seemed to be taking control and keeping the others right. Likes to play football from the back which is great to see. Vigurs looked classy and composed, at ease at this level. Wood had a solid game, maybe still a bit to learn but is a very handy player to have around. Everybody got pass marks. I wouldnt say we dominated but we deserved to win on chances created. Mikey didnt have much to do really. Falkirk were pretty blunt up front. Seemed to be a defensive mix up between maguire and hastings who left the responsibility to each other and their guy slid and cut the ball back, easy finish. That was a revived Tokely in my opinion, really up for it, played a stormer and delighted with the win. Good strikes for both goals which were hardly well worked but they all count. Decent composure by a couple of players not to just swing at it and hit us with the ball. Summary - good away win

Andy Barrowman
I have only seen him once for County against RRFC and was aware he was an ICT target so kept a close eye on his performance. I agree he is a Kris Boyd style striker. Likes the hang around the box, very little chasing/ harrying defenders but knows where the goal is. I imagine he will be easy meat for experienced SPL defenders in many games if he doesnt recieve any service which seemed to happen a lot last season with ICT. In terms of a partnership up front, i think we would benefit from a pacy, on the last defender, run inbehind style (similar to Dargo) striker to partner marius if he stays. A bit off topic but talking about signings my main concern is a commanding centre half to fill the gaping 'machine' shaped hole. Theres my tuppenceworth, observe and consume.

Hamilton Accies Moving On Up
Best thing about them going up is you can watch the game for nothing. They have a bank behind one of the goals and can get a cracking view. Hopefully we get them in the summer months. However if you wish to 'carry out' some activities you are highly visible to everybody including police, stewards and the control room. Heard rumours of ?40 on the spot fines being handed out so beware! Good to get a new venue, pubs, etc to explore They will compete, SPL is competitive due to general poor standard and as long as you dont go into administration

Supporters Pub/Club
This might be a pointless question and far too premature but are the Club still planning on building a social club near the ground? In Holland etc Ultras/supporters clubs have their own pubs/social clubs they run. Perhaps if a new pub/social club was being considered the new ultra idea could have a voice/opinion of the decor/or a room/somewhere to feel a part of
-
the name should be.........
Ultras is widely accepted in mainland europe and i predict it will take off in the UK if the clubs support the fans. I think you need the support of the majority of the fans and more importantly the club. I think involving the name of the stand would be a good start (bridge end/north) Original is best These are my thoughts, good luck, i will support whenever possible
-
Police and Stewards
I can see the point about it being money for the club by having the away supporters in and in no way am i represent the majority but i rarely go to home games against the old firm due to the number of away fans in the home end. I would rather watch it on setanta and save my money for a game v well/hibs ect and non OF. Why? because at these games there is segregation where i dont have to listen to opposition fans sitting around me spouting bigoted songs and abusing the home players. I reckon i can be quite passionate but not confrontational at games but i feel myself getting so frustrated at these games that i dont enjoy them.

Other teams you have supported?
Coming from Burghead Inverness Caley was a much questioned choice, my old boy used to take me every sat to any nearby highland league game, there was plenty rothes, forres, elgin, lossie etc. Always enjoyed the caley games due to high scoring, bigger crowds, old boy would then take me to telford st any time possible. Not being from inverness and still quite young was pretty unaware of the merger chat so happily merged into an ICT supporter. Used to have Hearts as a big club, but although want them to do well there are not a big part in my life. See Hearts and Caley as my old teams with my fav players but more for memories (wilson robertson, charlie christie, john colquhoun, robbo, pasquale bruno). The future is ICT
