How soon can we win the league
would prefer to win it at home against The Pars, but that would mean a collapse from everyone else chasing us, as Queens and Stags have soo many games to play in last two weeks. Mind you standing room only at Ayr united would be groovey

Winners without playing
Winning without playing, is becoming a possibility this season. The backlog of games county have may well mean that when they do a Rangers from a few seasons back and play 5 games in 10 or 11 days they will run out of steam, and that will most likely happen when we are not playing. Would rather be there at the moment they burn the effegese of Falkirk, especially as I have said before if Rossco scores that priceless goal. Wont feel the same then celebrating in front of 30 Dee fans.

Who Do You Fear?
Any one taken notice further down the league recently. I know our attention has been at the other end, but 3 teams are involved in the scrap to avoid the play off place. Raith, Morton and Ayr - all of which we still have to play. It aint going to be easy, as they will be fighting for every ball. Tactic must be to go at them at 100mph from the start, get down the wings, and flood their box with crosses and shots. But not committing too much forward on the defensive side. All 3 of these teams will be looking to defend against us, and hit on the break. So we will need to out muscle them, out smart them, out pace them, and out score them. Dont care if we will by a crappy own goal, its just ensuring our undoubted confidence is more valuable than their determination.

Is Hayes ok?
Those around me with better visual cordination suggested he was dealt what they call a " clothes line " in wrestling terms. Retribution from a C*unty player for being better than them!

Chairs
I landed on the seat infront of me last night, with my knees and fell into the older than me gentlemen in front of me just around a second after Richie Foran hit the net with our first. Couldnt jump around at Erics goal as was still really feeling the effects of the first. That chair back is solid when you land on it, but it did not break. Have a purple line across each knee now to prove the point, and as my job invovles me kneeling all the time, it was a constant reminder all day long of such a momentous moment, but my god I will treasure the memory. Should have a standing area, its safer than sitting

Text from a C*unty fan
referees union. he was told not to let the north team get into the SPL. Strange night, its usually us on the receiving end. Mind you didnt c*unty have a homer ref at the last game two weeks ago. Duncan booked for a brilliant tackle in the first minute. Golabek booked for trying to pull down Barrowman ( i think ) but no action for the rugby tackle on Hayes ten seconds later. Someone took away his toys

Who Do You Fear?
still fear the beaks who might find a way of stopping the SPL clubs coming all the way up to the TCS. Seriously its only us to fear, if we do a Dundee and believe its ours already. One bad result and the doubts come in
-
How are you celebrating tonight's results?
Sat in front of lap top in slippers and shorts, drinking 6th coffee to warm up and seriously getting into doing my VAT which I should have done weeks ago
-
Dundee getting the jitters?
Danger warning. Broken glass all around Tayside. Can I just take this opportunity to say Billy Dodds - GET IT RIGHT UP YA!
-
Is it sad to go to a game yourself?
Bet it was worth the trouble for you to go. Hope it wont stop you on Saturday too

Tel an Mo vs Scott andynamic duo
Keeping the faith, Personally I always thought we could still get back up to challenge, and have to say when some were wanting Butcher to go, I did think it was better to keep the faith than to press the eject. Dundee are now in the position that their gamble looks to have fallen flat on their Dundee cake faces. No idea if Jocky Scott would have been able to turn around their good ship HMS Vincible, but changing manager looks to have backfired, as Chisholm and Dodds are the two who look to have lost the league for them, and I bet a lot of the Dundee support already. It does just go to show getting rid of the manager does not always solve the problem. Think it will be just reward for Tel and Mo for also keeping the faith with us when some reckoned that they were going to walk. Still want Rossco to score the goal to take us back up. Home win against Pars to get promoted my choice of game, leaving us two meaningless end of season celebration games

Chic on the radio
Nice of Chic to actualy agree with John Robertson that the winner tonight wil be the team to go up. Suprised he didnt choke on his words, but Chic being Chic he let out an absolute cracker. When JR was championing the Norths two, he digressed onto the 14 team top league, and professional 10 team second tier. Then a north south east and west league to get more derbies and local games costing less for clubs, And Chic dived in with his tuppence saying its riddiculous that county's biggest ever game kicks off at 12-30, meaning Dingwall will be empty by 4-30am, and then added " Dont go near the A9 that day, as it will be full of caravans!!!!" Absolute classic Chic. He knows his football supporters doesnt he.

Attendance on Tuesday?
Not to bad an attendance for such a wild evenings entertainment. TM4TJ was probably closest to the mark with a 5500 guestimate. hope this puts Saturdays crowd up against the 4000+ mark, as Raith on Saturday is now the most important game of the season so far
-
The derby
think it might be a one sided game tonight, and it wont be close to the main stand. Just came up the A9 and was getting blown all over the road . Coming right of the firth so it will be time to keep the ball on the ground, otherwise it will be at Claggan park
-
The derby
Hmmmm. I hear there is snow over the bridge and along the pass of tore. Not so many gypos tonight. I have heard the dont like snow on their horses hoofs. DAY OF RECKONING, LETS QUASH THIS UNWANTED RISING OF THE GYPS, GRASP THE NEETLE, LETS GO AT 100MPH, AS THE COUNTY ARE LIMITED TO 60. START WELL, LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND SHOW THEM WHO WANTS IT. AND DONT LOOK BACK, SMELL THEIR FEAR, AND SENT THE CALEY JAGS ALL THE WAY TO THE S P L. CMON THE JAGGIES, TEL IS GOING TO GET YA

Attendance on Tuesday?
Hold onto your hats folks. Have had 3 mates asking if we are taking our kids to the game tomorrow. Ofcourse was the answer, Why? i responded. Seemingly they have been trying to get tickets today over the phone without even getting through. Seemingly engaged all day long. tICKET OFFICE closes at 4 I think, and after that they got the reception and were told that it was sold out, nae tickets left!!!!!! That would be over 7000 then!!!
-
Attendance on Tuesday?
Tuesday night will effect the numbers with kids not allowed to go by some twisted parents. However, some will go with it being the holidays and nae school to get up to. Its the MOST important North Derby ever, and I expect a lot of caravaners to come on holiday. 6500 I think, with ICT getting the first league win over the traveling domestic dwellers. Ive heard that some of the horse and cart fans are already in transit from the west of Ross

Promotion...all it's cracked up to be?
Not only do we need to be there, but we can start getting money back into the club. The youth system has been starved of cash, and our under 19s are down to a couple. The future for a club our size is bringing our own through, and we have some real talent at the moment that would end up being discarded if we dont go back up. I also think a season in the SPL under Tel and Mo might just bring us to a new level. A stonger squad, and one day I would love to be at Hampden for a final. Less realistic chance of that in the SFL, but i would love to be there before the great grand children are born. Not such a good look a 70 year old p1ss1ing himsel wee excitment>

15 points from 21?
Beat county, and all we need to do is match or better County, Dee, Queens and Pars and we are back in the league with the twisted sisters. Sounds easy, but nerves will come into play. Hope Rossco will banish his demons from last season. Would love to see him score the goal that takes us back where we belong
-
Amongst the jubilation, a lil realism
But remember every time we have won the league or been promoted we have always gone on a fantastic run of form. Its in our own hands now. Any one still think Tel and Mo should go????

Jonny Hayes
Vertically challenged, that may be the reason for Johnny taking most, should be ahead of Coxie by about an inch or so. Just like everyone moans when Ryan Esson's bykicks all head towards Richie Foran. Who wins the most headers in the ICT team frontline, Richie wins more than his fair share, yet every kick Esson takes to the left all you hear are groans. Wouldnt mind us knock the corners to the edge of the box a few times though, just for someone to take a pop, like Russeldinho, or Coxie, as if you watch us all the time, the scouts will notiv=ce we dont mix it up that often at all

Catering Issues at ICT - feedback
tbh it is poor quality at the moment, for what you are paying. You would expect better quality hot snacks for paying the extra amount, but having been to county last week they have much much better quality food for a lot less. So when it comes to value for money we aint getting it. Good to see that the caterers are buying in poorer quality grub and transporting it up here, adding to our cost, where the pies in Dingwall are locally sourced at a cheaper price from the butchers that won the best football pie compition nationally (UK) and get them sold at the ground for a more crowd frendly price. MacDougall and Hastie butchers make the champion winning pies here in Inverness, so why go to somewhere hundreds of miles away.

How big was Dundee's lead ?
Was at a meeting today and sat at my table were a Falkirk diehard, and a Dundee Diehard. Interesting conversation developed, and both were full of passion and strongly beleive they will be playing each other next season. However, both with new managers in place, conceded that it will be in the SFL, and not the SPL. Falkirk fan thought they just didnt have enough to battle there way out of trouble two years on the row, saying they dont have anyone to "spark" them to life at all. Dundee fan suggested that they lost the league weeks ago, and having been at the game last night said they were even more nervous that when Jocky was there. Asked him who he thought was going to go up, and he said all the Dundee fans reckon we will have won it before the final game. Said what about Pars and County, but he then said Caley Thistle are they only team to have played them off the park in every game this season. Falkirk fan also said that Rossco was conned when he got sent off in the final game last year, seemingly player admitted he played for it and got what he wanted - Rossco off!!

11 games to go
will happily take a dour 1 - 0 right now, even with an own goal winner. Just keeping the momentum going. Partick not out to do anyone any favours this time, however would like to think Ian Maccoll will be determined to skin the Dundee scalp. Not prepared to pay ? 200k to get their No 1 target, maybe Dundee are in financial trouble?

How big was Dundee's lead ?
Nice to gloat, but remember we did a similar thing last season. Lets not give them a reason to get some motivation against us. We might just need a draw against them on the last day to pip county
