It didn't look good when De Vries trod on Munro... Shame that - I thought he looked like an excellent keeper who kept the Pars in the game, and might have got MoM if we hadn't scored. As for Dods coming off covered in blood - must have been off for 10 mins - I was listening to the radio commentary and for some reason that incident didn't get a mention.....

The point is we are in 8th position in the SPL and look highly likely to survive yet another season there - Given our resources that is a fantastic achievement.

TOKELEY WAS AWFUL....? The guy gave 100% right up to the final whistle....That's why we won the fecking game.... Jeez - I shudder to think what kind of comments would have been on here this morning if we had lost 1-0..... Big well done to CC... I'm not quite sure what your new game plan was - but whatever it was it worked superbly...!!! :clapping04: :clapping04:

Think he said 3500 & something.....

The look on Rosscoe's face was worth the admission money alone...!!! :003: :001: :015:

Sandy.... They never gave up... kept plugging away... They won the fecking game didn't they..?? Hip hip hoooray....!! It was a superb performance.. :clapping04: :clapping04: The way the pars set out their stall it was never going to be pretty stuff to watch.... There is definitely a nervous edge to our play at home.... It's becoming the case now that home fixtures are tougher than away fixtures.... when the home team struggles to get their nose in front the fans add to the pressure by getting on their backs.... It's not just us that suffers.... there's quite a few others in this league too, who struggle to win at home.... Away from home the pressure is off and it's like watching a completely different team. The ICT fans at home should demonstrate a bit more understanding..... I'm awa' tae paint the toon red & blue now...... :drinking09:

They were playing against 8 defenders, but they did finally break them down.... What more do you fecking want.... this was a superb performance, and a brilliant win... Well done lads....!!

Exactly - I actually thought it was a good performance and a well deserved victory.... Rossco's goal was a pure fluke but was no more than we deserved.... well done the Big Man for being there.... The Pars came looking for a draw.... they defended very well and made it very hard for us..... The home support are not easy to please..... that simple fact alone does not help the team....

Jeeez.... For once Sandy I'm almost in agreement with you....Are you on the waggon just now..? I thought it was a brilliant win for us, and thoroughly deserved.... The performance wasn't all that bad... We created all the chances and both Dargs & Rankin were unlucky not too score. The Big Man's goal in the last minute was the only wee bit of luck we had all day.... Like every other team that comes here the Pars defended very well - Zulu at the back seemed to mop up everything, and their keeper was terrific.... Definitely agree about Sutherland..... time CC played him from the start.... The last time he did that we beat Falkirk very comfortably at home - our last home game at the end of last season....

This is still a tough league - no easy games, with everyone battling for something - a 1-0 win will be a fantastic result for us...... :003:

I just hope that collectively, they've been working on making & receiving passes... basic stuff I know, but they are very guilty of giving away possession very cheaply, when playing at home.... Crawford is the Pars dangerman and must be closely watched.... if they can perform as well as they did away to Motherwell & Kilmarnock, they should pick up all three points....

C'est Formidable.... :football01:

Thanks Alex... I was just kind of hoping that a deal like this might mean DS would have more money than he would easily know what do with... I can think of a few ways in which he might invest it.... :001:

So would someone care to address this rather significant question?

I don't think team formations will be significant.... it will still end up with 20 odd players battling it out in the middle of the park.... Our tactics (or instructions) should be for Tokely and Dods to kick lumps out of Crawford & Young at every opportunity. Wilson should be told to make lung bursting runs down the right and deliver quality crosses or cut backs for Dargo & Bayne...The rest should concentrate on trying to string a few passes together.... Poor passing is usually what defeats them at home.....

No.... Charlie always subs him before that happens.. :004: :004:

Fair comment.... Not necessarily a bad thing to have a Bremner, or Roy Keane "angry type presence" on the park, but yes... it does has to be kept under control... He was quoted as saying he wasn't best pleased not to have been informed of interest from other club(s) at the start of the season.... that might explain his mood on the park at the moment....

If he can just get them to reproduce their away form at home, we would sail into the top six.... As a relative newcomer to Sneck and a fairly recent convert to ICT, to me there is something weird & unnatural with the atmosphere at Tulloch Stadium that doesn't help matters. Alex : What kind of atmosphere did you encounter at Rugby Park?

A good point at the end of the day, even if Caley dominated the second half..... Gonna be a real dog fight at the bottom of the league this season - Everybody taking points of each other and no sign of anyone getting left behind.... good wins for the pars & Falkirk today.... Next Saturday's game already becoming huge..... How about painting the stadium a different colour during the week in an attempt to make the players think it's an away game......

I'm so pleased for you...... :009:

Spoken by a true ICT fan, eh Midge..... >:D

Cold John Smiths..?? Yuk.... John Smith will be turning in his grave at the very idea. (assuming he's dead) Real ale should be quaffed copiously at room temperature.... Then it will have some flavour.... :003:

Yes, IHE... that's what he was trying to say in a rather clumsy, roundabout way....!! :015: :015:

Whattt...???? Y'mean Charlie never reads any of this rubbish....???? :007:

Midge has admitted in a previous thread to never having been to a game since CC took charge... That makes him a really dedicated supporter... How about you Bonzo..??
