AJS

I didn't want him to go but i thought he may have ended up going after the 3-1 defeat to Queen of the South in October cause he fell out with some fans at full time. But credit to him he kept ploughing away and he eventually got it right, credit to the man.

The best i have seen from an ICT team in years, everyone played their part and played it well. Butcher could not have got the boys more fired up for it as even when it was 11 vs 11 we still looked stronger. Odi's goal was a cracker, i slated him for forcing Sanchez out of the side but i'am pleased to say he proved me wrong as he finished his chance brilliantly after a great run from Hayes. County can complain all they want but the fact is we have been due this kind of luck for ages and if their calling Hayes challenge on Morrison a red card then they should cast their minds back to the Alba semi when Morrison took out Hayes intentionally with his elbow. Keddie off, Barrowload on the bench, world class performance, other resuts go our way, it just couldn't have got any better. This was the result and performance of a title winning side. :004:

Spot on Rene.

Would love a Barrowman OG winner tonight

Aston Villa have denied he has left.

The weather today will only just add to the battle-like atmosphere that will be going at TCS tonight.

Who's to say McGhee will even be manager of Aberdeen next seaon. Though i do think we need to start talking to players about new deals, Foran, Hayes, Tokely and Esson need to get spoken too asap.

Well done Shaun.

I'am glad i seen this post as i felt i was one of a minority who thought this. Being back in the 1st Division has made me remember how exciting it can be. It's end to end and it's so competitive Plus if we went back up i would miss alot of the wee things like terracing, Derbies, etc. However if we want to keep our club secure financially and garuntee keep most of our players then i guess promotion is the best way to go about it.

Esson Proctor, Tokely, Munro, Golabek Cox, Duncan Hayes, Sanchez, Foran Rooney Subs: Allison, Bulvitis, Ross, McBain, Odhiambo

Butcher found a good formation He played the best players instead of the ones he liked and Rooney started playing games instead of having 15 minute cameos every few weeks. I think the capability was always there, it was just the fact that there was so much chopping and changing that it would take time for folks to gel, they have gelled and now we are TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!

Great stuff, well done ICT, another clean sheet, and were TOP OF THE TABLE!!! :D

Good stuff, lets get this game in the bag now.

Bad decision dropping Sanchez...this is an important game and he is a much more skillful player than Odhiambo.

I hope they stick with Mowbray so that we can get a chance to trounce them next season.

Out of all the players on the pitch he is probably the only one who could take a corner. Does anyone else remember Sanchez's corner against Dundee on Boxing day? Thats how awful some of our set pieces were. The only other player i think that could take at least a decent corner is Duncan. He tends to take some of the free kicks for the halfway line so he may be able to put it into practice from a corner.

Having spent a season in the 1st Division has reminded me of how much more exciting it can be. Last night saw us play some excellent football and also get excited about other games which were going on around us. I don't think in all honesty that we would be ready to go straight back up but i do think that if we did then Butcher would be the right man to do it. If we don't go up and Dundee do then i think if we can keep the spine of this team together then i think we would have a great chance at having a crack at it next year. I would love us to be champions but tbh i really wouldn't be that bothered about stayng in the division for another season or two.

How did they beat Dundee??? But our boys were at there best tonight. The Irish trio once again terrorise a defence with Sanchez again contributing everything to a game...apart from a goal! Defensively sound, Would imagine thats how our back 4 will line up next season, should Bully go. Rosscoe was relatively solid as a central defender. Esson did well with a couple of iffy moments and Robertson made some splendid stops in the 2nd half. 13 games unbeaten and long may it continue.

Hoping for the win. Tomorrow promises to be exciting for a variety of reasons. What i would like is for the team not too let all that excitment get to their heads and just concentrate on getting a win.

Esson Proctor, Bulvitis, Munro, Tokely Cox, McBain Hayes, Sanchez, Foran Rooney Subs: Allison, Stratford, Eagle, Ross, Odhiambo

He has never been my favourite player but this season when he has featured he has played a vital role in almost every game. Yesterday was the best i've ever seen him play, defensively he was so solid and he did as well as he could to start attacks. I wish Butcher had used him right from the start of the season.

Would they ignore that fact that Ian McCall was Dundee United manager for about 5 years?

Stratford and Djebi-Zadi back in the fold then :(

Heres hoping the they appoint George Burley. A manager capable of nearly getting a team somewhere.
