Well, how shocking was that?  Easy to blame Ridgers for his howler, but in truth Dundee could/should have scored  3 or 4.  Our long ball puts towards White were poorer than schoolboy stuff.  Our so-called play makers, Walsh and especially Doran created absolutely nothing.  Huge improvement needed if we are to make an early impression in the league .

I notice that Nathan Austin scored a hat-trick today in his first competitive match for Kelty Hearts.   Pity he wasn't as prolific for us!!

Haven't been in it for years either, but it's another piece of old Inverness about to disappear.

 

Yes, I remember it well from my youth.  I too have not been in it for years/decades, but sad to see it go.

Who remembers Hetty's shop further up, at the top of Castle Street?

From a distance that felt like a really good pre season, especially the performances against the Premiership clubs.  Must give us confidence for the more competitive matches about to start.  I'm looking forward to the season with a good deal of optimism.  Good luck lads, have a good one!

Much as I will always remember his winning goal in the Cup Final v Falkirk,  I am somewhat underwhelmed by this signing.  He did not do much after leaving us, either with Dundee or Dunfermline.    I am however prepared to be proved wrong.

I only switched on to watch the penalty shoot out.  What bottlers Utd were.  Not one decent strike in 4 goes.  They don't deserve to go up.  

Congratulations  Gringo.  You were pushed all the way.

And, of course, thanks for all your considerable time and effort spent in running this enjoyable competition.

Took a dander down to Berwick yesterday as it's only about an hour's drive. Men against boys, although Berwick were reduced to 10 men on the stroke of half time.

Yes, I've seen Cove play a couple of times in recent years on trips up north when ICT have not been at home, and have been well impressed with them. I suspect they will do very well and climb through the lower leagues quite rapidly.

Harsh penalty.  No worries about what tactics we adopt second half.  Go for it lads, all or nothing.

Pity. Even down to 10 men, we looked reasonably comfortable defending, until a poor error by McHattie led to the goal. But, at least we're not out of it yet.  With our good away form, if we score first on Friday we'll have a decent chance.  Believe!

Agree about Donaldson.  He is a 'red card' waiting to happen tonight. Gives away far too many free kicks.  Think we're unlucky not to be ahead at half time.  Keep up the good work lads, we can pinch this.

I'll take that. Well done to all concerned. Hope we didn't pick up any injuries.  Same again next week will do nicely.

Derby also have a chance of making it to the Premier league, I can only think of Allan Smart as making it from ICT to the EPL, have there been any others I’ve forgotten?

Stuart Armstrong, if you count playing for ICT youth team.

Well done lads, that was just what the doctor ordered.  I'll happily take a draw on Saturday now.

Pretty sure Willie Gray is 5th from the right.

Not sure whether snooker is really a sport rather than a pastime but congratulations to a previously completely out of form John Higgins for reaching his eighth World Final over twenty years after first winning the tournament.

Here's hoping his luck is better than in the last two.

After the News of the World 'sting' all those years ago I went right off Higgins.  He got a 6 month ban, yet his manager was banned for life for the same incident.  How does that work? In my view Higgins was incredibly lucky not to get the same punishment as his manager.

I hope Trump beats him 18-0.
