Naelifts

Strong coffee for that man................

........continuation of what we saw on Tuesday in Dundee. Our ability to keep the ball and move it about at pace appears to have deserted us, albeit, as Maryhill suggests, in the face of two sides who have been up-and-at-us. Too many players having an off day methinks and the up-and-coming break could be timely. Initially not at all convinced by our new man up front but , as the game went on and on reflection, he did quite well. His was a difficult task, being parachuted into a team of guys he had never even heard of, let alone met and played with. His holding up and linking will be an asset. He won balls in the air. His post-hitting effort looked like a strange contact as it travelled throught he air in slow motion but he buried his goal. Do we get Marley back next week? Motherwells two goals should have been better defended. I left very disappointed. Mrs Naelifts ( bad omen) says " Thats it, never again".but she says that every year. I'll bet she wants to come when we draw St Lucia in Europe! We can't win every game and our recent run has outstripped any sane mans expectations. Still in third place by a margin. So.......keep giving the effort lads.....you can never be accused of not doing that; believe in yourselves; we are where we are on merit.......

Not mentioned above but I detected some considerable disharmony on the pitch and off during the game. Esson and the bench were having a right ding dong at one stage. The bench appeared to be telling him to kick the ball long and he was disputing the validity of this. (purely my interpretation). At other junctures various other players got involved. Never seen so many verbals this season. What was going on on the pitch must have been unsettling but, in the stands, I was thinking.....".just pass it and keep it like we know you can and the second goal will come....game over". It's easy on the terraces though!

Dundee Utd 1 ICT 1 Composure 0 Sour grapes from Tansey? Ref did have one of those nights but , given how the match started, we should have put it to bed. Credit to Dundee Utd. I thought they played really well. Not a disaster by any means but games like that will take their toll.............in tiredness, injuries and disciplinary points. Onwards and upwards. Mre Naelifts makes her seasonal debut at 'Well. She is renowned for attending 0 0 matches ....................but I have promised her that won't happen this time Good crowd tonight

Mr Speirs was on the wireless last night telling us that the media give commensurate coverage to wee clubs like ours based on the interest in them. It was an interesting 10 mins debate sparked by one of our own bemoaning the West Coast/Old Firm bias. It has been done to death many times..........but have the press missed a slight difference this time round? Are ICT in fact the best team in the UK this year based on results? Can anyone better our haul of victories and a draw.? Surely the best team in the country deserves some plaudits Mr Speirs!!!!!!

Jesus!

Interesting angle RIG

Me and the Mantis heading to Star and Garter in Garscube Road...................I think we were there last time

Well I have been away for a month and missed 6 games. We have won 5 of them and drawn the other. Now i am back and heading for Partick on Saturday in a lather of expectation. If I get any substantial cash offers I will stay away however. Like IHE , I feel that PT are our nemesis of late. We must change things in order to get the better of them. What Yogi does on Saturday is anyones guess. It is always a good day out though...at a proper football ground.....whatever that means!

You are an ICT great sir. Please keep playing your heart out for us. Good luck with your new club. That is all
