Blimey...not a bad result, goalkeeping situation sorted, an experienced right back, Chalmers in too, arguably a decent backline and midfield, esp with Longstaff and McKay in the wide or deep No10 positions. Obviously at the moment we need some cover [the youngsters to step up] but now two in up front please [Bavidge back on loan? And a traditional big guy to hold the ball up?] Can't wait for the fixture release now

Keeping Savage would be a big deal, ditto Allan...just feel they showed so much for us that someone will surely snap them up. Chalmers would work for us in this league, and when I saw Nolan released I had the same thought as you, he started off quite brightly for us, but tailed off a bit, but another season under Scott K and he could develop quite nicely. Replacing the lively Bray, the goals of Bavidge, and Dibiga in goal along with Savage/Allan are all big asks aren't they?

TBF I have won a Palace top to the Scottish Cup matches at Hampden Park! I need a half-n-half Palace/Caley shirt if I get a ticket to a Europa Cup tie

Ha! Maybe Rak Sakyi [currently on loan at Sheffield United] Or Franca [needs game time] Munoz on the other hand...coz we need to replace Brannan Meanwhile how about this display at Wembley...make the hairs tingle

Ha Yes...in Walthamstow, where my daughter Emma lives (seem to be a lot of micro-breweries in that area1) it was a great atmosphere, the match was on a big screen

Oh Gosh, thanks you guys for your lovely comments What an EPIC day, what an EPIC season for a Palace/Caley supporting lad As a Palace supporter I thought I might never see this day, I was strangely calm for most of the game, because Palaces defence was excellent, and on our breaks City always looked vulnerable. Well done Olly Glasner A few drinks into the evening joined by other Palace supporting family Palace in Europe! As for the Henderson VAR moment...as Josh Meekings would say "it was nae a handball"

Watched the 2nd leg last night and was ridiculously interested and gunning for East Fife to get through because that rail link gives me another accessible away day... I will be much calmer at 4:30pm this afternoon!

Good point, we had a mare there in August 2023, an own goal in the first minute and a complete defensive hash up for their second. Billy Dodds got quite a bit of flak that day It feels like an entire lifetime ago Anyway East Fife have the edge over Annan in the play-off, I'm hoping they can close it out

I'm referring to Airdries stadium not Cove's! Obviously I'm not expecting Airdrie to be relegated to our division

Think Airdrie will be way too strong for Cove, shame as their stadium is a good visit Fingers crossed that East Fife beat Annan, as I have worked out the logistics of getting there from London! [Helpful the train now goes to Leven] Both Montrose and Hamilton are on my awayday list for next season [esp now that Hamilton look like they will play at Broadwood stadium]

Elgin would be good....I fancy a trip to East Fife too!

I certainly did! Struggling to keep the tears at bay Days like yesterday are what football is all about

Yesterday was epic, we thoroughly deserved the win, Billy's goal was magnificent...the wait at the end for Annan's result just added to the moment Keeping Bray to see out the season one of many crucial decisions I wish him well for the future [maybe I will see him at Palace!] Well done Scott Kellacher, cometh the hour cometh the man I said elsewhere that ultimately being docked 15points was more significant than we thought, the club has rediscovered itself, team and fans as one Inverness is such a fab place, the air is so pure, you guys are lucky It's a privilege to be an ICT fan ------- Got home at 2am, and watched the Palace v Villa FA Cup game, I didn't dare even follow it on my phone so only found out the result when I got to Inverness Airport Ignoring the cash differences (!) there are similarities with the two teams that draw me. Palace fans support is epic, which I see at Caley away games, and the noise from the North stand was great yesterday, we need to build on this What a lovely weekend

Well...there you go, got the Kelty and Stenhousemuir results the wrong way around...but pretty good! Except we needed no luck yesterday Anyone want the lottery numbers!

Moving on from the Billy Mckay discussion, what a great result! [Which I predicted!] And gosh arent we lucky that whoever negotiated the Bray transfer ensured he stayed with us for the rest of the season. Having Savage back in the backline helped, and good to see Strachan back in the LB berth. 4 games to go, no more injuries or sendings off please [although Palace won with nine men on Saturday it's not recommended!]. I've predicted a draw at home next weekend...against a side that somehow managed to get thumped by Dumbarton, sounds absolutely predictable then, 2-2 probably with Billy M getting two including a late equaliser! In sort of related news, I see Airdrieonians are having a real go at avoiding automatic relegation in the league above us, which might mean Dunfermline down in our league next season [yes I am assuming we will stay up]...or worse Hamilton
