Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!! Atmosphere was brilliant.

Really hope we can finish the job and see off St Johnstone.

Collum is a disgrace and I really hope someone took note of his totally inept performance last night.

Never been prouder to be an ICT fan.

Absolutely fantastic!!

Hope we can finish the job on Friday and move on to Arbroath which will be tougher than Partick. The Lichties always look organised and have a good shape.

We need to play along the ground a lot more : when we did we looked a lot more dangerous and had 2 or 3 great moves when we did.

I say, steady on!!  We have to get past that chap Patrick Thistle first.

I know, I know : we'll beat 'em!

The way I look at it, winning breeds confidence and is a great habit!

Will be at all the away play off matches! Really looking forward to it!

Arbroath will be the toughest one!

For once, I am not all that fussed whether we win on Friday or not.

After that, it will be an entirely different matter.

The way I look at it, winning breeds confidence and is a great habit!

Seven wins on the bounce will do nicely!

Five wins and see where it takes us!

Thankfully for our league position we seem to have found a couple of fortunate results.

Unfortunately it's papering over the cracks and keeping Dodds and his Diddy Men in a job.

Agree : the first 89 minutes were torture (again). We have no shape and certainly no plan in matches.

I really hope consecutive wins give the team a bit of belief for the run in.

I'll no doubt get slaughtered for that post but have just expressed my utter frustration at how poor I see the team to be.

I'd really love to be positive about ICT and their promotion prospects!

I would like to see Arbroath beat us : it might precipitate Dodds departure. Really hope the Red Lichties hold on and win the title.

The way we are playing there is no chance we would come through the play offs even if we hang on in the top 4. I have watched only relatively few live games in the last several years since leaving Inverness and some others on TV / online. Each year we are worse than the previous one. Friday was torture and we got exactly what we deserved. It's little better than schoolboy football (the other teams are no better but we haven't beaten any of them in 12 matches).

Since 2015 we have gone rapidly downhill and there is no sign of that changing. Depressing but that's how I see it.

I would agree with everything you say DD,  However, defensively we are a shambles as IHE pointed out earlier.

At the moment players are nervous and full backs are obviously not comfortable playing where they are! 

Ridgers needs to be in the sticks, Dodds SHOULD have sorted out full backs start if the season, But he made do...  mistake! 

Hope next Saturday brings a performance and a result.

Not one team is that superior to another. Therefore the playoffs are reachable. And more importantly winable. 

Wish I shared your optimism!

11 matches, no wins.....................and counting...........

Again, results couldn't have gone much better for us. Other teams in the race falling over themselves to do us a favour.

For all the resources Killie are throwing at it, they are really poor and I sincerely hope they fail.

If we'd had a half decent run since the Morton 6-1 win, we'd have a healthy lead at the top. If only...............

From a great position in December, we have completely blown it.

So depressing....................I have now lost all hope and am hoping that my other (even longer term) long term football love Spurs can put a shine on the remainder of the season......  Not holding my breath though.

Assuming matches resume in the not too distant future, we will never have a better chance of automatic promotion.

All challenging teams (except part time Arbroath!) are very inconsistent : if we can just put a few wins together, we would almost certainly be well clear at the top.

The Arbroath match, if it goes ahead, will be pivotal.

Absolutely great to see ICT back at the top of the Championship.

There is no stand out team in the league : if we can just put a few wins together there is every chance we can open up a decent gap at the top, although I'd settle for us winning the race by a point!

Best ICT performance I have seen for ages : created lots of chances, good closing down / winning possession back and lots more.

Keep playing like that and 2nd is the lowest we'll finish.

They have their own camera for the highlights etc : so my simple question is why not use it 'live'???

The AI or whatever one was  complete joke. Often instead of following the ball, it went in the opposite direction.  Was it mote funny than embarrassing or vice versa??

Saw most of the second half : as others have said an encouraging performance given Hearts infinitely greater resources and the penalty was very very soft. Lots of refs  (especially in Scotland) seem to lack basic common sense in decision making.

Didn' t create very much up front but the chance late on should have been taken

According to BBC, Levein interested in going back to Tannadice.........................

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has shown himself to be one of the worst managers ever.

The basic issue here is the lack of money within the Scottish game. The premiership league teams are unwilling to dilute the available funds in any way and that's the bottom line : everything else is a side issue.

The game up here is going backwards and has been for years. It needs completely freshened up but there are to many interests who are unwilling to let that happen.

I'll be ok with :

ICT going up and more fluidity between leagues and a fairer play off structure ie straight semis / final assuming 4 teams involved between each tier.

Inevitably there will be winners and losers but if promotion / relegation is more straightforward / achieveable then that will be beneficial to the Scottish game.

There is currently no plan for Livi to be on board with.  What they are on board with is their own proposal.

I don't like their proposal as it seems to do away with the play offs apart from potentially between the Championship and the Premiership.  The play-offs keep the season meaningful to the end of the season for several clubs.  I'm not sure why they would want to move away from that.

Two automatic promotion / relegation spots at least gives certainty. The current system is heavily weighted in favour of the 11th placed top league team in that they get a bye to the final . As an alternative I'd go for straight semi finals / final which at least gives a level playing field.

Blimey ..this was the game when Caley first came to my attention and which would eventually lead to me following the team and planning trips up to Scotland to watch either at home or away. I was driving back from somewhere and was listening to the Sports on Radio 5 Live  and getting the updates...it came across as a big deal down south

What I hadn't realised was that Ian Wright, a former hero at my other club Palace (but now at Celtic, at the end of his career) played the 2nd half against Caley!     A comment on the programme noted that Wright had probably never been involved in such a shock..which had me thinking about when Palace beat Liverpool 4-3 in the FA Cup Semi Final the year we lost to them 0-9 at Anfield in the league. Interestingly John Barnes was involved in that match as well playing for Liverpool,  a match as set in folklore as the Celtic-Caley match, I was getting congratulations from all and sundry for days after.

Palace lost the final against Man United that year (and again against the same team in 2016, bugger!), whereas I was privileged to watch Caley beat Celtic in the Semi and then Falkirk in the Final in 2015, which stands as the pinnacle of my personal football supporting life thus far.

And yes tonight's programme was a bit about how that game changed Celtic, but I felt we got a fair share of the coverage, and allowed me to get a bit closer to a key date in Caley's history

 

As Barry Wilson commented, a lot of the aftermath was about how bad Celtic were  (we certainly weren't given the credit our performance deserved).

Still, great memories (it was made all the sweeter after the last minute call off of the originally scheduled match).

Although going by the content summary, looks like it's going to all about 'how it changed Cellic'  ............................there's a surprise!!
