Tuesday ???

My mistake. My score app decided to have mental break down and tell me we were playing Killie this Tuesday coming 

Fantastic strike to win it. 2 wins from 2, 2 clean sheets. Can't ask for much more than that. Big test in Tuesday now

I haven't used the streaming option but from what I've heard the quality is much better and justifies the price increase. We sit just above the mid point for streaming charges in the Championship from what I can tell. 

Of course don't forget that streaming of games is a stop gap. Clubs probably don't want fans at home long term. They want them down at the stadiums spending more money on strips in the club shop, in hospitality and so on. Pricing a stream so that it detrimentally affects your home crowd on match day is not a good idea. 

No doubt it's better to have fans in the ground but for the exile fans like myself the streaming has been a great thing ( even if it was bad) being able to see games regular was great and I was able to give the club something when not being able to go in the flesh was nice 

Wasn't overly thrilled with the price increase but if the quality is better than last season then I don't mind paying the price. Also don't mind paying seeing as I haven't gotten over in well over a year now. Does all the money from the stream go to the club? 

The draw is the fair result to be fair. Luck wasn't on our side tonight up front again. Still not enough though but can't doubt the work rate tonight. Mackay should have been subbed 20 mins before the end he was wrecked and hardly moved the last few mins

Pretty passive so far...

Putting it kindly 

I don't think we will be relegated this season maybe a 6/7th place finish for us. What worries me is what happened next season and beyond. It's so painful to watch the club that I love turn out such rubbish week and and week out. When I started following caley I said I'd follow the club all the way down to league 2 if need be and I stand by that. Win, lose or draw SPL or league 2 it's ICT for me 

1 win in 10. Says it all 

Very sad news. Going ballistic was a great history lesson for me when I first started supporting the club and I was delighted when I got milestones and memories for Xmas which was another fantastic edition and they will represent his legacy and always remain important history for the club. RIP Ian 

Haven't posted here much this year due to the madness we find ourselves in. Been over a year since I've been over and I don't half miss it. Cant wait until the day I can walk through those gates again. Hope all of the ICT family have a great Christmas and a happy new year 

Ordered my shirt today. Best design in a few years, can't wait to strut around Belfast in it. Many folk over here alway confuse my ICT shirt for Crystal Palace ones and it gives me the opportunity to spread the caley about when asked about it

Hate to say it, but I think heading needs to be worked on, after seeing that game. Yes, Jordan did score a header from a corner to equalise, but look at the corners afterwards that we won the header from, right at the death especially, Rooney had the perfect chance to level it, seemingly easy as pie, but he put it over the bar.

United have 5 more wins until they're crowned champions, and this was our last chance to reel them back in. Unless by some miracle that United bottle the last of the season and we sail through it with no faults, the title is gone, despite having two games in hand.

The title was gone a long time ago. The difference has been they are consistent.  We have dropped way too many valuable points this season and yesterday was more about pride than anything 

More disappointed than anything with last night's result. We played well and certainly deserved the draw. What annoys me is we just can't get a result against this lot. They have lost to Alloa and Arbroath this season but we just can't seem to get over the line against them. We will be doing well finishing second at the rate we are going. Entirely our own doing too, our inconsistency this season has been nothing short of astonishing 

Hopefully there wont be any issue and the game goes ahead. I get spoiled in the next few weeks with ICT games being on TV would be gutted if this gets called off. Need a big response against this lot they have hammered us this season it would be nice to get a much needed result against them. Certainly a more important game for us rather than them I'd say 

I haven't been on in a while but thought I'd report that Curtis Allen has left glentoran back to Coleraine on loan until the end of the season and then signed a 2 year deal with them next season on. He spend most of this season at the glens injured and only played a few games. Gutted to see him go. He carried the team single handed at points in the last few seasons 

A much needed result after our recent run. Hopefully that has put the confidence back into the team and we can start to consolidate our position in the play offs 

Well looks like part time footballers ain't too bad. That's where we are heading with results like that! Shambolic

Wow some real fickle fans on here tonight

Dundee utd 3.4 million loss so far by the accounts published

Probably treble our wage bill if not more.

That didn't stop queen of the South putting 4 past them. We have pure and simply bottled it play offs at best I reckon 

Great result last night. Was fearing the worst after Morton and the recent decent run from QOTS but well pleased we came away with the points. I'm glad the brave 39 than made the journey went home happy. Massive game this weekend now

Brilliant result! Great to bounce back from last week's disappointment. With the Arabs defeat last night that was a Carlsberg weekend. Very happy chappy today

Thought we managed the game well and restricted QOTS to very few chances. Thought everyone had a good game bar maybe white who really should have scored. Vincent, Walsh and Welsh all had a fantastic game and if it wasn't for some great goal keeping and the wood work it would have been more. Thought we played some lovely football at times yesterday too and it was a throw back to how we used to play. More of that in the future please! 

Had another cracking trip over and I am already looking forward to my next trip over whenever that may be 

Sitting in the airport treating myself to a liquid breakfast. Hoping for a big 3 points today. Hear the caley club calling my name 

As stated before our lack of attendance has been discussed at leanth and how to get people through the gates is the issue we can't seem to overcome I've seen some great crowd's before but we just can't seem to hold on to them for whatever reason. It's heart breaking to see the sparsely populated stands now and without a rich sugar daddy to bank roll us like other clubs have it's hardly no surprise we will probably end up announcing even more losses. I for one love this club and even if we ended up back in league 2 I'd still be making my trips over. Only wish more people could see what I see in this club. Flying out tomorrow for the QOTS game and I'm really looking forward to it as I always

We were poor overall. Only matched them in second half of first half. 

I think we cleared three off the line as well so it could have been embarrassing.

 

It was embarrassing
