Very good statement

Im sure Robbo will stay anyway.

If Robbo has no interest in this job he should come out and say so, this would quash any rumours and stop them from growing arms and legs. We don't want the same situation that arose when Dundee United came calling for Hughes and he was refused permission to speak to them.

Maybe he is interested as most people would obviously want to look at an offer to decide whether or not its worthwhile to pursue.

Dont like the club refusing to allow another club to speak to the manager as it can create bad feeling.

Rangers were allowed to speak with McInnes but he said No.

Robbo could do the same 

Poster of the year should go to Alan Simpson

Funny guy

He got me biting far too many times but he got me

Well done

We did "Choke" - We could have won BOTH games - Polworth gave the referee a decision to make and he made it - wrongly in my opinion. We still had enuff chances to win at home. The penalty decision was WRONG but again we CHOKED it becos we could have been 2-0 up before that. 

Disagree 

we choked the semi final at the National stadium as we never played well at all as a team 

That did not happen in the playoffs at all imo

Sorry my friend I have life to get on with  cannot afford to sit and fiddle about on computers all day. Now what was the question you asked again ,seems all so irrelevant?

Oh yes, you were calling me out because I did not agree with you and had a different opinion on whether we overachieved this season. For what it's worth 15 points behind the leaders and choking in the play off semis , Scottish cup and League Cup conceding 12 goals and scoring zero is not over achieving IMO.

Now please go away.

 

 

 

Still never answered my direct questions tho 

Choking in the play off semis is that really what you think

two debatable decisions changed the outcome of both games imo

I don’t wish you to go away but wish you well in the future but cannot agree with your view of the season.

Have a lovely summer

Worrying trend this season has been abysmal home form, 2nd worse in league.   Poor home fans not getting value for money. 

On the flip side home fans dont offer same support as away fans.

Cant see how we have over performed this season, other than a penalty shootout win over County and a late winner at Tannadice things have been pretty average. TBH the home form has been pretty underwhelming and unfortunately cost us in our quest as title challengers.

WOW 

maybe travel away and see what we have done on the road.

We've overperformed this season. Robbo has squeezed every sinew out of a small and limited squad. Think Joe Chalmers playing on the right when Walsh got injured, Charlie Trafford changing his game and stepping up in the absence of Sean Welsh, and Jordan White's development into an effective battering ram once Oakley's departure made it clear that he was our only option up front. Most of us had written these players off, but they were all Robbo had to work with and he turned them into promotion contenders and cup semi-finalists. Some effort. 

On the flipside, it looks like we'll continue to suffer from unrealistic expectations. If United go up then then next season's league might look weak at first glance, but at least 3 clubs will have a significantly higher budget than us. We'll lose players now - Polworth gone and rumours around Donaldson, Chalmers, White and Doran. Robbo's building for another push, but most likely it will be another scrappy play-off push at best. A bit of patience from our support might help with that. 

Yes some of our fanqs need to get real they think this has been an ok season 

Jeez what will it be like when reality sinks in like Falkirk fans

Some people really need a reality check

Overachieved, absolutely no way, we finished 15 points behind the leaders and struggled to win enough games. A wee bit of perspective here please.

So do you think we should have been higher in the league than  County United and Falkirk?

Do you think we should have done better than last four in Scottish Cup?

I await your answers

What do folks on here expect of ICT

We have come third in the league with probably the sixth top budget in the league

We have reached the semi finals of the Scottish Cup

We reached the semi finals of the playoffs and decisions from the officials have cost us.

I think we have massively overachieved and the management and players deserve a lot of thanks for this.

Also the away fans deserve a lot of credit.

The neagative posters on here need to have a reality check and if they are not happy with what we have achieved this season, have a look at where Falkirk who are a bigger club and have a far bigger fan base than ourselves are this evening .

We certainly have a lot of moaners in our support.

Have a good summer folks 

hopefully the sun will lighten some perspectives on here

Ok Robbo is spot on with what he says about Ref's in Scotland totally agree with him  it is shocking but we cant blame them for not winning the game we never scored in either game despite chance after chance that is what has cost us we have seen it time after time all season not taking our chances or seeing games out and all the draws that is what cost us automatic promotion and until they address that problem we are going nowhere . Unlike some i do not think it has been a good season yes we made semi final of Scottish Cup but how often did we leave the ground after home games feeling happy or say we played well ? Now we have all heard the gossip that Coll is away he is going to be a huge miss he has been the best central defender at the club in years imo . Let's hope next season we have more win's less draw's and really go for it 

We didn’t score but actually we lost four goals which cost us in reality .

Dont concede don’t lose

Score and could win

So in the second game the ref definitely cost us by a terrible penalty decision.

just how I look at football

Great effort by the team and fantastic backing from the away fans. Unfortunately effort alone will not win us anything.

It's the age olde saying: You can only p15h with the cork you've got.

We know our shortcomings and I'm sure we all know who we should be keeping, but I can't fault the effort of the players, they gave all they had.

Today/last night is not really the time for us to be slagging off the squad, but it should be a time to savour the microscopic shreds of success in a challenging season.

I'll come back to this in a few days as we learn to cope with another season in the Championship. I don't think we should be getting ahead of ourselves and expecting success next season either. Unless a miracle happens, we will still be in the Championship, still have no money and still have sh1te referees. 

Plenty of passion shown on the matchday thread, but try and keep it civil. No one died and we are all different with the same aim.

ps

Thank Christ the season has ended. No more match reports for a couple of months 

Well done on all the reports and previews

I for one appreciate the effort and enjoy reading them

Officiating aside, our depth of squad has ultimately done us in over the season. Too many games for key players - rushing some back from injury too quick, it just all added up.

Losing Welsh probably the biggest as he had come on to a great game before his injury, and our midfield never looked as strong without him.

The recent run of games has been incredible due to the patched up squad of guys we have relied on, time and time again - losing Carl a few weeks ago again hurt us and finally losing Liam not only cost us Tuesday but had a knock on effect last night.

Monumental effort first half then the ref did his thing ...

Tough one for next year, but the rebuild must continue - now we know 3rd or 4th is no use lets go for the title. 

 

We have had our differences over the season mate but that summing up is spot on .

Im sure big Jordan would admit he should have scored and Doran too but those lads have played their hearts out all season and especially in the playoffs.

Whatever anyone thinks of misses should have a look at Nicky Clarks and then you will inderstand what a sitter is.

I agree

Come on Alan, you love Big Jordan really.  You're just hiding it really, really well!!  They could be a great combo.  If Keatings is top scorer, I'll buy you a beer in the Sports Bar at the end of next season.  There, it's public.  

I agree with you

He says his daughter likes the big guy and Jordan is her favourite player

Haha that's the major downfall of this forum and why so many apart from the same tired old names appear on every thread, it's just a clique for happy clappers.

Kingsmills as for you I don't care how courteous u think u are, your always quick to jump on anyone that has an alternate opinion to yours as wrong, maybe for once realise that others opinions are up for debate but are not always wrong because you don't agree.

As much as it potentially a red, I'm actually excited now at the prospect of Robbo now having no choice but to start Macdonald on Friday. I know polworth has had his moments over the years, but the jury's still very much out as to his effectiveness pace passing and reading of the game. The short spells we've seen of Macdonald I think hes been superb and creates movements and injects a bit of pace into an otherwise static mf at times. This is our last chance and as much as we were very unlucky not to get a goal or 2 before DU on Tuesday we still don't have no route to goal on the ground and the only time we seem to threaten is with a set piece or a shot to nothing coming off. It's so unfortunate that as it stands we've lost what I have considered to be our best mf pairing over the season, Welsh and Walsh and still have no real goal threat. White as much as he got the 2 headers was very slow to react to movement from Doran but perhaps that's just his character not sure u can teach that, its a killer instinct. I'm really excited for tomorrow night and really think after Tuesday that we can steal something from this but it's going to mean more than our strikers getting on the end of the ball. 

Your view of a footballer certainly differs from mine

Polworth and White are very good footballers and the fact that teams like Motherwell are signing Polly is evidence to this.

White has been top scorer with us and also been top scorer with other clubs he has been with, he also can link up play on the deck as well as be good in the air.

i certainly would much rather Polworth was in the team than out of it.

Can’t understand the criticism that Liam takes at times when he has been very good for the club. 

Nick Walsh is a clown of a ref.

He has previous with Caley and tonight he was just so hasty to give a red card.

Think its worth appealing but Robbo is not of same opinion.

We are good away from home so still in with a good chance.

Thought all the players played their part tonight in a very good performance considering we played two games while Utd were resting.
