He is entitled to his opinion just like you and I. For most I think he is on the wind up - looking for a reaction. Do you know for a fact he doesnt go to games ? Maybe it is you that doesnt go to games. Anyway I dont know what this has to do with January signings or in our case the lack of January signings.

A bit harsh don't you think? You obviously dont like him or his views - but I dont think that gives you the right to tell him to leave the forum. Im sure this is what a forum is all about - a salad bowl of mixed opinions , enriched with debates,arguments and even agreements- so why would you want Alan to leave the forum or anybody else for that matter just because you dont agree with them. Im sure he has his own opinion of your stats but I havent seen him ask you to leave the forum yet. If you read all the posts on here I think you will be fully aware that many dont attend games but does that mean they cannot contribute. Anyway back on topic we've brought in what we could with the resources we have at our disposal and its probably not enough offer a serious challenge to the title but the playoffs are well within our reach.

It would appear that putting two and two together does not make five but makes four ?

Just seen the decent ......... I was going to say Gary McSwegan !!

Or maybe 7. I actually meant Polly but thats probably way of the mark to !!!

Brian Rice now at Hamilton - looking at ICTFC to add to his squad - Oakley maybe!

As you say none of the teams above us are any great shakes. I ve not been impressed by any of the three and how County are sitting at the top only the man upstairs knows. If we find a level of consistency we may just surprise ourselves and everyone around us!

Added time now !!!!

Im sure it will finish 2-4 ?

is this really happening ?

and again ?

I quite agree Bigman the blame cant lay at the feet (hands) of the goalkeeper. There are 10 players in front of Mackay that need to do their job also !!! We all know how Ridgers was when he first came to us. 4th Choice ??? Ridgers No1 Hoban No2 (before loan) Mackay No3 Mackinnon No4 . I dont think we can include OFW as I doubt he wants to play for us again. Apparently since the arrival of our young custodian the Forfar keeper has 3 MOM performances - thats football for you. Anyway a point with a somewhat depleted squad is better than nothing and keeps us on course for play offs.

I think the sad fact here is that this statement is factually incorrect. Modern day HL teams reach rounds as far as the likes of Caledonian FC and Inverness Thistle did. 2017/2018 Brora and Cove reached the 5th round (3 rounds from final) both having disposed of league 1 opposition on the way. Formartine also reached the 4th round. 2016/2017 Formartine reached the 4th round again having played from round 1 disposing of lowland / Junior and league opposition on the way. That season even the lowly Wick beat Dalbeatie Star / Whitehill Welfare . 2015/2016 Cove reached the 4th round. So really HL teams of today are still doing as well as those in days of yore.

2014/15 Strathspey Thistle and more recently 2017/2018 Nairn County & Brora Rangers

I wouldnt be surprised if McIntyre at Dundee doesnt come in for him .

They have an Oyster Catcher on their badge - what the significance is I do not know. Maybe someone could enlighten me !

I suppose it depends on how you look at it. The lad has proved himself at HL level - so Im sure this is the next step in the ladder. According to Jim Weir he is not at Station Park to just warm the bench, but Forfar are doing well at the moment and you can not tinker to much with a winning team.

Undoubtedly we would be a weaker team without Polworth. Our loss will certainly be someone elses gain.

Well done boys. Technically it is not a result against a Premiership club but a result against a Performance (progressive) U18 team which is the same level as our under 18's. For those who are not familiar with Club Academy Scotland there are three tiers, Elite, Performance (progressive) and Performance .

I find it very difficult to comprehend why some supporters think this was a poor call by the management team. Robbo made 7 changes from a team that failed to win against a newly promoted team with 10 men so it is not as if we are flying and have a settled 11. However I feel the changes were more experimental in nature rather than refelective of Saturdays performance. If we had played the same team that started on Saturday, would that have made a difference - probably not? We were ultimately beaten by a penalty that never was and not being clinical enough in front of goal. Im also dismayed at Robbos' misdirected criticisms - the 7 were not the ones that orchestrated this defeat. The first goal , Charlie Trafford lost the ball and McKay conceded the foul for the penalty - both these players played on Saturday. The second goal - Polly lost the ball , Mckay lost his man when ball was played over the top, again both these players started on Saturday. Okay for the second McCart should have hoofed the ball as it was played back across the edge of the 6 yard box as it was only about a foot away from him - maybe he thought he had a defender behind him. In no way was this a breakdown in communication between him and the goalie just a lapse in concentration I think. Its good that some young ones got game time and gained valuable experience and they in no way disgraced themselves. Anyway on a different day we could have had scored 4 or 5. Its early days and far to early to call how our season will go so boys keep the heads up Im sure it will all click in to place.

It looks like we will be giving some of the young ones a chance tonight - 7 changes from Saturday. Hopefully they will get lots of encouragement tonight.

I certainly was not revelling I was rejoicing a victory. A win is a win regardless and now its on to the next round.

Maybe if more fans made a trip to Claggan Park tonight for the NOS Cup more sparks would have been reignited for they would have witnessed what I believe is ICTFC's largest win in a competitive match 16-0 ?

Thats Dundee now absolutely belt and braces (or pehs and bradies). Interesting weekend of football ahead for Partick and County - down to the wire for automatic relegation !!!!
