Kind of Blue

The whole team performed well and gave the most solid and consistent dispIay at home this season. There were a number of players who gave man of the match performances in addition to Watkins such as Tansey, Shinnie and Raven etc. The defence were really effective in shutting down United and the midfield controlled much of the play. A big 3 points and a nice way to finish the first quarter of games.

Two defensive howlers today. If you score two away goals, we should be expecting a draw at worst.

Tremarco and Polworth in for Draper and Shinnie who are suspended. Ryan Christie on the bench.

CAPTION COMPETITION Hey boss, is it spelt "LOOSER" or "LOSER"? Forever - in the top folder, and IN Our Shadows - in the bottom one.

Signing Iain Stewart. The best £30k the club has ever spent.

How to kill a crowd and atmosphere: move the game to a Sunday and have an early kick-off

The more I watch the replays of Doran's goal, the better it gets. What a fantastic series of passes leading to Shinnie's through ball and then Doran's expert finish. This move was no fluke and had obviously been worked on in training. I think we can expect to see more of this in the coming months.

My best memory of him was the comic "seething" reaction when we equalised to make it 3-3 in the cup tie at Dingwall.

Stranraer a gaol up at the moment. Poor DA will come under intense pressure if they lose this one. But I'm sure he'll turn it around with his great managerial touch

Richard Gough was exclusively revealed as a candidate by you if I remember correctly

Another superb away victory. A great feeling to be back at the top of the league.

Excellent win to give has a great start to the season. It's a good position to be in when you have players such as Watkins and Doran on the bench who can come on to make a big impact.

Yes

From small acorns...

A bit different from previous strips, I like it.

In regard to either club getting financial backing on their own, the answer has to be be a resounding no. I saw at first hand the delaying tactics and downright hostility displayed by some Councilors and officials in its dealings with ICT over the £900k grant. It was a minor miracle that the club eventually got this funding and I have no doubt whatsoever that Caley or Thistle on its own would have had no chance of similar funding. ICT come up against considerable planning and funding challenges in its formation but theses challenges would have been many times more extreme for a single entity. In my opinion, the merger was the correct way forward and the success on and off the field is vindication of this difficult decision.

Well, I suppose he can use his expertise of getting a relegated club promoted. That's if he's still the manager next season.

They have a bigger stadium capacity and can therefore house a larger away support than us.

Great news.

Think the red wine will be getting hit tonight.

I'll never forget Hislop's fantastic bullet header against Clyde. It was advantage us after this result and I think we were all confident that we would win the final game but there were a few nervy moments such as Clyde going into the lead before our game kicked off and SJ drawing level. As soon as Ritchie got the 3rd we all knew that was it. A great day which has to be up there with all the great moments that we've experienced in ICT's short history.

Can't wait to see the clip of him get knocked over by the Hearts player today.
