Remind me, how good are we at coming from behind to win?

This line up is either genius or an act of desperation. The latter seems more likely but I so hope that Malpas has identified the problems and solutions. Good luck ICT.

Vigurs is captain.

There's never been a time in our history when our fans have been so subdued and pessimistic. Even in our (previous) relegation season we always maintained hope and belief, right into injury time of the final game, justified by the team's passion and ability to get results. However, a win v County could restore our long lost optimism. Come on ICT, give us something to believe in.

We lost 2-1 to a late penalty.

And their only goal in the last round was G Shinnie! Christie can't play in the final as it is v Celtic.

I'd imagine we're talking a few thousand pounds for a month's work, plus a well deserved bonus if we stay up. A worthwhile last throw of the dice when faced with the prospect of losing millions and sliding into footballing oblivion.

Like others, I fear this move is too late, but it is welcome nevertheless and shows that we haven't given up.

Fair play, looks like you called it right, unfortunately. Of the 7 votes for unhappy, only 2 were cast at the time, the rest have been added today!

With us needing 5 points from 5 games to even have a mathematical chance of drawing level with Dundee, I note that it has taken us our last 8 games to amass that many points (and that includes the win v Rangers). An even more depressing way of looking at the size of the challenge is that since we beat Motherwell, it has taken 6 months to accumulate 5 points against the other bottom 6 teams!

I've just noticed that of the 4 teams we have beaten this season, 3 have subsequently dispensed with their managers!

It was touching to see the 4 perfectly placed Motherwell players turn and run to the ref to point out the huge mistake he was making.

I went for the Ambivalent option, the nearest one to my more precise feelings of " hopeful, but very concerned by his complete lack of experience in this kind of role."

Hartley would be a very decent candidate to lead our Championship campaign, if he'd take the pay cut, and fancied the challenge of building a new team with a minimal budget.

He will certainly be remembered, though.....

I wonder if emotion and guilt have played a part in the board's loyalty to a Foran, knowing that he and his family have committed to Inverness and that if he got sacked now with such an abysmal record in management his next job in football would be in the Highland League.

Why, what on earth were the two of you doing? Oh wait, I see what you mean!

And even if they did, it still wouldn't be enough!

Will be interesting to see how the club word the forthcoming statement on the director resignation which followed Wednesday's board meeting, which obviously had nothing whatsoever to do with discussing the manager's future.....

Surely to god Foran will be sacked in the morning, if not tonight. Been saying since we got pumped in the previous "biggest game of the season" 6 pointer. He is a great guy but a terrible, terrible manager, a complete and utter dud, he cannot organise or motivate this team and we are unlikely to win any of our remaining matches if he stays in charge. I don't blame Foran for his lack of aptitude, he tries very hard, I blame the people who thought the best option was to persevere with this failure and sleepwalk into relegation and at this moment I am absolutely effing fuming about it.

Fixtures for us are as expected, in that we'll have played each side twice at home and twice away. In the corresponding fixtures already played this season, our record is: A County - L H Hamilton - D A Killie - D A Dundee - L H Motherwell - L So that was a grand total of 2 points! Huge improvement needed, as if we didn't know that already.

Didn't actually realise you were afflicted too! I had relatives in the Sunderland area and I'd sometimes be taken to Roker Park when were down visiting. In fact I remember being at a cousin's wedding one Saturday afternoon when an uncle whispered over and said "This is boring.....taxi'll be here in 5 minutes!" and off we went. I think that ICT are slightly less doomed than Sunderland though.

At the moment, the only thing worse than being an ICT fan is being an ICT fan whose "English team" happens to be Sunderland......

I've been racking my brains to think of a manager who could do a worse job than Foran and I'm somewhat relieved to have come up with one. Claude Anelka - brother and agent of the footballer who despite any experience became Raith Rovers manager after investing £180,000 in the club. His strategy was to bring in a load of French amateur players. It didn't work and he didn't last long. I'd rather have Foran than him.
