100 tickets equates to 1,000 pounds which I thought was quite impressive. There are, quite rightly, numerous successful appeals to help alleviate at least some of the suffering being visited on Ukraine by the despot Putin but every penny is needed and more besides.

Has the potential to be the most exciting footballing month of May since 2015.
-
Great. My only criticism is that they need a slightly longer banner. Cmoncaleythistle !

You're not rating Raith Rovers' prospects of overhauling Partick for the final play off place then Gringo.
-
The etc twins are utterly indispensable.
-
To be fair, it's improved since we last played them.
-
Completed but can I point out that the target date for net zero emissions in Scotland is 2045 and not 2050 as you repeatedly refer to in your survey.
-
I sincerely hope so and better hide away any tins of paint from Ian McCall if we do. One of the most thoroughly unpleasant characters in Scottish football.
-
Hopefully, in our lucky pink strip for both legs.

For once, I am not all that fussed whether we win on Friday or not. After that, it will be an entirely different matter.

Now, the hard work really begins.

Job done. Third place and Partick Thistle it is. From where we were a few weeks ago that is about as good as we could have hoped for. Now the real work begins and, now that we know who we are playing and when, that starts with the club marketing the home leg as widely and as fully as possible. This is possibly the most important match at the stadium since we beat St Johnstone in front of a full house all those years ago to, after a bit of a legal wrangle, gain our first promotion to the top flight all those years ago. Assuming the tie remains competitive after the first leg, which it almost certainly will be, Patrick are likely to fill the South Stand with highly vocal fans. We need to ensure that, as well as the team being up for it, the fans are up for it and outnumber and outsing them.

Hopefully, they are risks for the play off games. Risks to the opposition!

Very worrying to see Fort William scratch from the Highland League relegation play offs effectively giving Banks o Dee a walkover into the league. I am sad to see the Highland league increasingly becoming an Aberdeenshire and Moray League. I have a soft spot for the Fort. I appreciate that they have a number of issues, not least being in solid shinty territory but I sincerely hope that they find a way to survive and eventually prosper.

I agree. An extra £28,000 for finishing 3rd rather than 4th pales into insignificance to the million pound plus extra revenue we could potentially have from being in the Premiership as opposed to the Championship next season. However, it's still not to be sniffed at, nor is the advantage of playing the second leg of the first play off round at home. We need to strive to finish 3rd without busting a gut to do so and it would be nice if we could do so this afternoon making next Friday a game that we merely need to fulfil in any manner and with the players we choose to.
-
We ourselves have to get through the first round first. Does anyone have a a preference whether they want to face Partick or Raith Rovers ? We have had mixed fortunes against both this season.
-
3 points, however gained, and the ability to rest key players for the final game of the regular season please.
-
A shame for Arbroath who battled to the end. However, their consolation prize is that they can now sit back smoking cigars while we battle out two tough matches with either Partick or Raith Rovers. The very fit part timers with their wiley old manager will be well rested and very dangerous opponents indeed.
-
Hopefully, have that opportunity at least 3 times next season.
-
I agree that Arbroath have been remarkable with few of us believing they would stay the course. Whatever now happens, I believe that Dick Campbell deserves to be crowned SPFL Manager of the Season and not just the divisional award for which he has been a shoe in for months.
-
As I recently posted in the 'Run In" thread, the sporting romantic in me would love it if Arbroath won the league and, with it, automatic promotion, especially if we then joined them in the top division next season. Can you imagine the seething of the football authorities and Central Belt pundits if not only two Highland teams but lowly Arbroath in their ramshackle ground were polluting their top division. However, the ICT supporting pragmatist in me thinks that we would probably have a better chance of beating the Red Lichties over two legs in the second round of the play offs should we successfully negotiate the first. Mixed feelings on this one.
-
Tonight's game at Rugby Park could go a very long way to deciding the title and with it the sole automatic promotion spot. Taking nothing for granted but assuming we get through the first play of round, which of Kilmarnock or Arbroath would you prefer to face in the second round? We should really have no reason to fear either as we have beaten both home and away this season. However, Kilmarnock are the full time time with the better players who were able to strengthen very considerably in the January window and, in my view would be the more dangerous opponents. For that reason, I will be hoping for a Kilmarnock victory this evening much as I would otherwise love to see part time Arbroath with their slightly ramshackle ground shake up Scottish football by reaching the Premiership.

Players need to have a LONG HARD look at themselves.

I agree. We might need to look at the coaching set up too. However, first we need to negotiate the still extremely difficult task of getting there before we seriously consider what we might require to stay there. -

Kingsmills replied to CaleyTennis's topic in Caley Thistle
Me too. Keep at it. Just try to be just a little less sensitive.
