Inverness CT -V- St Johnstone - Premiership Play-Off
On Facebook I have had two separate features about St Johnstone winning 'suggested' for me. I view this very dimly.

Inverness CT -V- St Johnstone - Premiership Play-Off
That was tough to take. I actually said at h-t that we'd played really well but might pay for not taking the chances. At h-t Davidson clearly reminded his players that a similar 45 might see them in the Championship. It was a great support from ICT, too. Not sour grapes but we should just have promotion playoffs as in England, not a second chance for sides who deserve to be relegated.

Wouldn't say Willie the Gollum was biased any way - just incompetent, clueless and card-happy. Re supervisors: their job is to write up the refereeing performance bending over backwards to defend the ref and conclude that everything's OK and the SFA are dead brullyant. Was thinking that St J are a team used to losing and may be psychologically weaker than the Smokies. Then someone upthread reminded me they'd drawn away to Galatasaray. Hopefully the bumbling mid-season St J will turn up...

Historically ICT flourish in cup ties - and yes, this was a cup tie - with nine men. Nothing between the sides, there was never going to be, but ICT lads showed the character. Willie the Gollum was a joke in the juniors and there was relief and laughter when he got kicked into the top flight. He hasn't improved.

Checked the Met Office forecast for the Arbroath area. They're suggesting gusts in the upper twenties still in the early evening which will be even stronger at Gayfield. The wind's often a factor there. Keep it on the deck!

Time To Take Stock
Still a bit focused on the might-have-beens to think too much about next season. I think the general improvement - there is one - since McCann took over is indeed a thing to ponder. Whoever takes the team into the new season, let's have a half-decent pre-season with fewer hidings doled out to Highland League teams and a few more interesting and testing match ups. As I say every summer, how about ICT v Kirkie Rob Roy?

Challenge cup final
Two unbeaten finalists in a national cup competition. We'll be part of a pub quiz question for all time, anyway.

Alloa Athletic -V- Inverness CT - Preview & Matchday
It is frustrating that we're walking a tightrope where a couple of bad results would put us in deep trouble but a couple of good ones would put us right in the play-off picture. That said, who fancies us in Spiffle Premier play-offs? I was actually quite possitive about the squad at the start of the season, thought there were some good signings in there but that's how much I know.

Positive messages for Robbo
Come back refreshed and rejuvenated, Robbo, and take as long as you need. (But sign our souvenir Hearts tickets before you go...)

Alloa (A) 19 Dec 2020 - Matchday & Streaming Info
Two games in a row where other results generally ran in our favour and we couldn't capitalise. A bit like all of last season, then.

League restructure
Letting the Evil Two youth teams in helps the Evil Two and no one else. So at some stage it will probably happen. The whole game in Scotland has been badly run - and run in the interest of the big two - for so long that there was no way it could cope with the disruption of Covid. Whatever you think of English moneybags football (and I loathe it) their authorities were clear about what they wanted to do from the off. The SPFL and SFA are making stuff up as they go along. Every poll of Scottish fans makes it clear we are fed up with playing teams 3/4 times a year. Everydicussion of change makes it clear the authorities and the broadcasters want to keep four league Domestic Abuse Derbies a year above all else. In many ways I don't see any hope for Scottish club football. We just must cultivate our garden - fllow your team wherever, whoever they play, at whatever level. I accept what some have said about the dead wood in League 2. Assuming the clubs and syste survives there needs to be a wider exchange of clubs between L2 and the Highland and Lowland (and, now, West and East tier 6) Leagues. That'd freshen things up and bring fresh interest. So it'll never happen.
