Did you really expect anything else? Scottish football authorities are largely clueless and Old Firm obsessed.
-
Caught the final 25 minutes or so on TV (had been listening in the car before that). Played really well and fully deserved to win. Doran is still a great player : we are lucky he has stuck with us. Always good to see the Arabs put in their place : another club who seem to think their rightful place is in the top league. Assuming we make the play offs, we may we may well be playing both Dundee clubs and probably Ayr. None are great so becoming more optimistic as time goes on. Still ridiculous that the PL team gets a bye into the final : only the Scottish football authorities could devise such a crass system. Looking forward to Hampden!!
-
A mixed bag looking at the comments but as they say a win is a win. Agree with the comments on not playing as a team : that has been very apparent since the slide began. Our aim should be to get as high up the table as possible. County seem to have top spot sewn up so the play off farce it is (not chicken counting).
-
Good to see the guys hold their nerve for the penalties. Fancy us to beat the Arabs and get back to Hampden
-
Yup we were fond of the long hoof upfield when Billy Mckay was our main attacker as well!! It was very noticeable County moved the ball on the ground and were so much quicker in getting forward.
-
Just knew they were going to equalise...….ended up hanging on An old ICT characteristic : grab a lead and then invite the opposition onto them. Have lost count of the number of times we have taken the lead this season and then been pulled back. Good draw : let's hope we can win the replay. The Arabs are no great shakes and a semi final at Hampden would be at worst good for the coffers.

ICT have always suffered from poor home attendances. What I found particularly disappointing was the higher we progressed through the leagues, the lower the average attendances became! I suppose there was an element of the novelty factor wearing off, but even so it must have been galling for management and players alike. Having been to a few matches over the last two or three years, it is clear the quality of football played by the current team is poor compared to teams of the past (even in the then second and first divisions). If that improved, I am sure the punters would return.

FFS : that's all we did in the ill fated RF season : you'd have thought someone had worked out it doesn't work...…….
-
Hahahahahahaha………… I've only seen a handful of ICT matches since our cup win : each has been more depressing than the last (the cup win v Dumbarton being an exception albeit the quality was still pretty low). Looking at the posts, seems things haven't improved...………..

We just can't get any sort of run going. Our home form is truly woeful.

Yup: great memories. Over the last few seasons we have lost that fighting spirit and never say die attitude. Let's hope for a good run in starting with 3 points today.
-
Yes I heard that interview too : he was clearly not happy at his club's situation! Can't see him lasting long. Agreed we need to win on Saturday to keep a bit of momentum going Our home record is poor (2 wins in 11 games) and we have taken more points on the road (20 against 13).
-
Twelve so far out of 21 league games. I see the record for the SPL is 16 in a season : any idea of the all time Sottish record?
-
Yup : good result. Every win instils a bit of confidence. The BBC report has EK with 56% of the possession?
-
Beat Ayr at Somerset Park (assuming we beat Falkirk in the next league match) and I'll be even more impressed!
-
From the several matches I have been to over the last 3 years or so, that sums it up perfectly. Just hope someone in ICT's management realises that one of these days.

Spot on. I watched ICT from 1994 until 2008 when I moved to the Central Belt : have only seen a handful of matches since then. After Yogi's reign, I was shocked at how bad we had become during the ill fated Foran season : the matches I have witnessed this season give no cause for optimism. We have no leader, no shape and no passion : things ICT teams always had no matter what division we were in. ……. and again we are struggling to hang on to a play off spot. Something has to change but as one poster said, I guess we don't have the cash to ditch Robbo so alternative plans are needed.
-
Going by the highlights, we had many more chances : most are right in front of goal where the player should at least hit the target / test the keeper. Too many draws will cost us : along with strikers who are pretty ineffectual. Even if we sneak into the play offs, can't see this lot lasting long. What with being a long time Spurs supporter, it's been a bummer of a weekend.
-
Good win : need to get a few more and then who knows? County in drivng seat so if we can win on Saturday the race is, in my opinion, wide open.
-
Totally agree : the speed at which we fell (and there's no realistic sign of it improving any time soon) is a disgrace. Not sure who is to blame, but we have come from a solid top league team (and worthy cup winners) to a mid table Championship team going nowhere fast.

Great to see a win at last but reading the reports doesn't sound like a great team performance. At least we are back in the top 4 but a bit of a gap to Ayr who seem pretty strong. The Arabs are also beginning to get their act together. We really need to step up a couple of gears and stringing a few wins together (including the upcoming match at Somerset Park).

Sorry : didn't look far enough down the topic list. Thought we might be getting near a record. As someone else said, a lot of these draws have been against teams we really should be beating : don't want to end up playing catch up as we did last year eventually running out of matches.
-
Seven draws in a row in senior football : has to be some sort of record (for ICT or any other club)?
-
As ICT progressed through the divisions, no matter the opposition you always felt they were capable of scoring and a match for anyone. Same when they reached the SPL. Admittedly I haven't seen a lot of matches over the last few seasons but watching them now is a bit depressing. No stand out players and little quality. Perhaps it's a commentary on Scottish football in general?
-
Rather depressing overall. Ayr and County have opened up a gap at the top and by the sounds of it, the Arabs are getting their act together under their new boss. Two goals In the last five matches says it all. It has been clear from day one that our attackers lack finishing ability. Today although Alloa looked slicker than us a lot of the time, we had a handful of decent chances but lacked the composure / ability to take them. Need to go up about three gears to have any chance of a play off place.
