#ICTFC Development Squad are in action tomorrow. Away to Ross County at the Highland Football Academy in Dingwall : Kick Off 2pm

Match available on demand at http://ictfc.com/caleyjagstv2 Registration and Charge (£5) applies.

What I said was accurate.....Carl isn't (and wasn't) on crutches....nor was he boarding a train to London. He's also been in along with the rest of the squad since the game. I didn't once say he wasn't injured.... although I wasn't aware, or had any reason to believe, he was when I posted.

We're 3 points from safety and performances/results are improving.....others in the mix have diminishing performances. 9 games to go....more than half of them against teams also in the mix. We need to keep our cool and not do anything rash.....including any wholesale changes to our approach to the game.

I'm happy that the manager has found a way to stop us shipping 2 or 3 goals a game and that we've turned narrow defeats into draws....that's progress. Of course we now need to start adding some wins to the equation, but we can't afford to go backwards (results wise) whilst chasing that.....it's not quite time to be throwing all caution to the wind (IMO) or we could really end up in an inescapable situation.

Carl is leading with 7 goals. Given that he and David ar hugging the touchline for much of the match, then they are definitely offering width. David's assist figures during his time at the club show that he's creating (there's your creativity) and whether Carl is fashioning goals from open play or set pieces (and it's about 50/50 from memory) then You might want to see us playing out and out wingers....which is fine, there's an argument to be made for that (or any other) tactic. What's not up for argument, as the facts disprove it, is whether or not...Carl and David offer width & creativity because they clearly do.

Not sure who you saw, but Carl is in Inverness, not on crutches and just heading out to training with the rest of the squad.

There's a massive hole in your argument.....one of those guys is the club's leading goal scorer!!!

It's the pies that do it....I speak from experience.

Even if I did have access to where password information is stored, it's all encrypted data these days and unreadable by anyone. My comment was based on a long standing suspicion following an exchange between yourself and another forum member (who had previous allegiances to the other erse cheek) made on here at some point in the past.

For those not at the match and in the UK so unable to have watched it live online, it's available on demand now from http://ictfc.com/caleyjagstv2 for 5 of your finest Scottish pounds (no English notes, sorry).

I take the view that those who actually paid hard earned cash to watch are entitled to their entirely justified satisfaction. Remember this satisfaction is borne not merely out of one derby match where the result lifted us from the bottom of the table, but from watching many matches (home and away) all league season.

On the first part....it's one of the mods who seems to have a problem and feels the need to stick his neb in any time I express an opposing view (and occasionally at other times as well). You might just be right about it being personal and I did suggest some winding back..! On the second part....agreed, but we moved off the bottom today and that is progress. It baffles me how some can paint that as a bad thing?!

Was a lot of huff and puff from Ross County, but other than the goal I can only recall one other attempt that looked like it could have troubled OFW. Whilst not the prettiest match to watch, and with us perhaps opting for a ball over the top a bit more than we might have in the past, I don't think it was as desperate a tactic as some are making out. Several times the ball found it's man as Mckay or Anier used their superior pace (compared to those marking them) to get onto the ones that made it in behind. Tansey had a great game. Really bossed his area and spread some nice passes down both channels and some neat dinks over the top as well. Our defence was solid....not bad considering it was, for the most part, a 3 man line with Raven and Tremarco pushing so far up the park. I'm as frustrated as the next person at the end result and it did feel a bit like a defeat, but it is possible to have a good performance and still not win a game. Sometimes you play well and still get outplayed and sometimes, like today, you're the better team and don't get what you deserve. Sh*t happens....and not for the first time this season.

Rangers fan accusing others of being part of the establishment....very amusing

Nowhere did I suggest that people should not be entitled to express their view. I was just exercising my right to disagree with that view.....so you can wind your neck back in and calm down.

Sorry, I've seem to have walked in on the chat from a different game to the one I was at today.

Couple gremlins....but should now be back.
