    Thank you Willie Collum. Magnificent result against the odds. Players looked absolutely drained at the end...apart from Mark Ridgers. We now play a side that drew in Turkey with Galatasary in the Europa League in August. Quite an achievement for our players to be on the same pitch as the St Johnstone players in the SPFL play off games. Hope we have 11 fit players for the two games. Not sure if Tom Walsh will be allowed by the SPFL to play on crutches. Hope Shane is not too badly injured.

    Was wondering if Joe Hardy might start the second leg instead of Billy. He struggled badly against the muscle of Arbroath with Joe being a little bit more robust. Billy might prove very effective coming on at about 70 minutes if we were still level and heading for extra time. Equally Aron starting instead of Shane might change things but allow Shane to come on maybe after 60 minutes.

    Well deserved. Do not now get sent off against your former club loan club Arbroath!!

    Yogi does the double! A very odd situation at East End Park this year given their apparent high budget start. Donaldson, Polworth and Chalmers - good players, poor club.

    Nerve wracking stuff but history shows we won. Lots of room to improve following both games. Partick played really well in both and could easily feel unlucky. Good to hear McCall say '' I'd wish Inverness good luck in the semi-final." However, given how tight he marked him, it was a case for Carson of,,,,Breakfast at Tiffoneys. Arbroath will be well and truly up for the next two games. They are going to be tough games with Arbroath well rested and bitter at how Killie stole the league from them.

    As the loyal Calais supporters say 'this will be tres tricky'. I am sure the players will be mindful of how Manchester City were almost there ....but blew it. Mindful that Partick might unusually be motivated by how Rangers recovered from 1-0 down. It is critical that our supporters at no stage feed players the message that tonight will be easy. Expect Brian Graham to be hyperactive. Partick are as likely as any team in this league capable of beating us. Some of us still remember being favourites to win our Scottish Cup Replay against Partick on 5th March 2002 only for Scot Paterson to score a superb winning free kick. We must not underestimate their paint pot kicking Manager's ability to beat the odds.

    Really pleased that Ryan's decision to play for Bournemouth has paid off when they secured Premier League football last night.

    We faced a very dangerous Killie side recently and all our players gave everything. We need the same tonight. Brian Graham needs to be better marked than in the last home game. Will we play in pink? At the moment we do seem to pose quite a goal threat with our January signings now proving to be very positive. Reason to be optimistic but cautious, better than being in 5th, better than being a Dunfermline supporter.

    Killie will be bricking it if Arbroath win today. As things stand, our next really important game will be against Partick Thistle. However, if we win that, we might just end up with the semi final play off against.............Killie.

    A touch of this would be nice...............https://www.killiefc.com/classic-matches/09-02-1985-inverness-thistle-a-scot-cup

    Our targets are clearer now. Acquire a few more points to stay in front of Partick, and then try and beat them in the play offs although expending lots of effort will be wasted if we are not in good shape for the two playoffs. See where that takes us. Kilmarnock will be champions and we cannot catch Arbroath. Raith are weak and will not catch Partick.

    ....Ross County now sitting 5th ......................

    We have to be realistic that Raith are in some turmoil after the David Goodwillie situation. Dunfermline are now up for a fight. Yogi will have them really pumped up. One would hope, that after our very dismal run, and good fortune against Raith, that the team responds positively. We need to win this game partly because the week after is free because QOS have the cup final.
  14. CELTIC1CALEY3
    Just watched the highlights and Shane had a hand in all three goals. Probably his best game for us since returning. Raith will be as relieved as we were yesterday to get a first win for months so next weeks game will be interesting to say the least.
  15. CELTIC1CALEY3
    Optimism indeed. Ironically, if somehow we beat Arbroath it could create a run. Fourth place now looks respectable and if we were able to create a winning mentality, play offs might prove a chink of light. Few would see that as realistic but using Ross County as our model, they were bottom of the SPFL until quite recently.
  16. CELTIC1CALEY3
    OK to be planning for next season but we must avoid a play off at the bottom of the league. Unlikely, technically possible, and only unrealistic because we started well. Dodds picked up Manager of the Month, preened himself as a TV pundit, and the players became more and more frustrated, all the while as Ross County emerged from crisis to top 6 challengers. Where did it all go wrong? We cannot see the reasons but those running the club must surely know but perhaps because of employment contracts and budgetting feel their hands are tied. Billy, it is easy being a pundit but managing a team seems to be beyond you other than when you are Assistant.

    We must wear pink and beat them. We must wear pink and beat them. ....We can beat them, we can beat them, we are going to beat them...................we will beat them!

    As a reminder here are a few details about the Managers appointment - https://ictfc.com/billy-dodds-appointed-ictfc-head-coach#:~:text=Inverness Caledonian Thistle are delighted,on a 2 year deal. What we do not know is what he promised at interview and whether the contract can be broken for poor performance. Richie Foran's termination came at great cost to the club.
  19. CELTIC1CALEY3
    This one of those days when you want to wake up and find that Billy Dodds has done the honourable thing and resigned to concentrate on his media work where he can blether away ad infinitum.
  20. CELTIC1CALEY3
    Manny seemed a decent guy but just did not achieve. Probably reasons why. However, February is traditionally the month that a good run needs to start. It is now or never now I suspect and the freshioning up of the team has to be good news - I hope.
  21. CELTIC1CALEY3
    We certainly have injuries and the vacancy created by Montrose's latest signing to contend with, however, Arbroath are a fantastic example of maximising the team effort. It would be great if we could revisit the form we started the league season with and gain revenge over Dunfermline at a time they are desperate for points. We owe Yogi and Dunfermline nothing. Let's hope minds and bodies are focussed at 3pm Saturday to get us back on track.
  22. CELTIC1CALEY3
    This a disappointment to say the least - 'Hibs have loaned winger Daniel Mackay, 20, to Kilmarnock for the rest of the season.'
  23. CELTIC1CALEY3
    ....and now 'fined £2,000 for drink driving after initially trying to hide his £182,000 salary in court ...claiming he had suffered a tyre blow-out after police found his badly damaged £50,000 Audi Q7 parked at the roadside.' How not to set an example by a Captain.
  24. CELTIC1CALEY3
    Great news that he has been released.
  25. CELTIC1CALEY3
    Pretty harsh comments from some members - we do not know the effect COVID and injuries have had on the club so this point is very important. Next weeks game is where we must recover and perform.
