Vincent was mom after Walsh no doubt. Hopefully the team will gel over the coming weeks. We have a squad of very good footballers with no shortage of endeavour . Looking forward to them achieving ICT legendary status...

Could and should have been 7or8 today but for raith hanging in and some poor finishing. Caley were able to up the tempo when required. Some good performances- Walsh again the main man- one mazy run of his going past three raith players and only a fine save stopping a really good goal.

Good strong team performance the order of the day ?

We have enough at the back. Get them forward and score goals. Let's not focus on defence my opinion is that we are fine. Question for forward dudes is are you up for it ? We are supremely placed for a right good go. Step up and rule supreme..the ball requires to be in the net... call me old fashioned..Mon the caley...

We could do with Polly back just watching him run the game for Motherwell against Morton.

McKay out as well as Rooney so could be a game for Nicholson to come in at right back. He did okay against st Johnstone. Apart from giving penalty away ? I would hope that our forwards will relieve any defensive concerns by sticking a few away against Raith.

The optimism has been tempered...

Some really good signs tonight. First half the saints had a lot of possession and we defended really well. Restricted them to a couple of decent chances. Up front Walsh was the danger and everything went through him. He provided good ball in for a nice close finish from Keating. Second half we looked more dangerous. Machado is a talent for sure. Todorov scoring from a corner following Mitch forcing a good save from saints keeper. Machado in the right place for a nice third. Carson was very impressive and looks a great addition. Listen people we are looking good.

Let's face it people we have arguably the best manager in the championship. We have a squad of players with a mix of good young players alongside experienced players who have demonstrated their abilities last season. Added to this are some good signings. We can go into this season with confidence and a team on the up. They can set their sights high. Let's get right behind them. ?

Shankland will make Dundee Utd a much more formidable beast this coming season. Big signing for them. Not so good for the rest of the championship teams.

Carson was doing some jogging on the pitch at the warm up but did not appear to kick any balls. He watched the game from the stand sat next to tremarco. As far as the game went we could have lost a few goals first half; poor dons finishing and some good saves from mackay. Penalty was a mix up as todorov had just came on and players were out of position. Overall a good performance against a big strong Aberdeen side. We could have won it late on.

Dundee derbies will add another dimension. If we can get ahead early in the season would be good. Utd did not deserve to win today. But then they didn't deserve to beat caley. Hopefully they don't bring in many players and keep the current ones.

Ho ho ho . Stmirren and Hamilton are no so good. That's a fact. Caley be back next year and hopefully have good officials....??????

Wasn't our night for a variety of reasons. I think the team can hold their heads high for their efforts. Utd had a bit more in depth but it was made easier for them due to poor officials. There keeper man of the match. Hard for robbo to take decisions like the penalty tonight and not react. He would need to be a robot not to.

Tricky this one. Does robbo start with young MacDonald in the hope we can get at them early or keep ourselves in it and have a go later? Either way I am sure the boys will give their best. They have showed all season they are capable and resilient. Hopefully someone can produce a bit of magic tonight and you just never know.

Any thoughts on starting team, formation, who for subs... whatever the line up I think they should go out and enjoy the game and have a right go. The team are capable and have enough skill, resilience and determination to produce a result. Calls for cool heads and strong hearts. ?✊?

Any word of an appeal going in about polworth red card ?

Big game Friday. Let's get down to Dundee and give the boys the support they deserve following three hard games on the bounce. As jurgen would say "I think it is impossible but because it is you boys you have a chance". It is time to take that chance....

Even first half, we could have went in ahead if whites header got in instead of post. Sending off should have been a booking only. That changed the game but a strong team performance kept Utd out until late slightly fortuitous goal. Thought Macauley should have come on instead of Harper? Still in it though..to be continued....

Good luck to the boys tonight. Great night for scoring goals against Dundee utd. ?

Is tremarco out ?

Question is : can caley beat Utd Answer is : yes Evidence to support : they have already dunnit. Further evidence ; for those who need it. None needed. Do it again. Simple.

We did not create enough today and we won't get by on Tuesday without creating more. Crawford had a great chance to make it two nil Ayr but opted to blast it wide. If we were in game management mode we were cutting it a bit fine. MacDonald made a difference when he came on and should start Tuesday given Walsh hamstring issue. Mcmullan getting sent off on Tuesday would do for starters ? pressure is surely on Utd so hopefully the boys will get in about them.

Great result. Follow this up with a professional approach Saturday for the second game. Ayr now have to go for it so getting tactics right would help. Let's get down to Saturday's game in numbers and give the boys the backing they deserve.

A win going into the play offs was needed and produced. The team did enough to do that without drama. A few decent performances thrown in. They will hopefully go up the gears against Ayr.
