Can hardly believe we lost that.We could have won by four.MOM Raith Keeper assisted by his goals. If we played like that all season we would be the other end of the table. Good team effort,although question marks over Pepple and Billy needs to be subbed after 60 mins as he no longer has the oomph needed. Where would we be without Samuel.

Delighted on a Sunday morning with two wins on the trot for the first time this season I think. Some on here spent the season being continually critical and there were many negative comments about Big Dunc recruiting defenders,but frankly we needed to get a strong back line and my how we now seem to have got there.This takes care of keeping the back door shut as evidenced by our record,but what is glaringly obvious now is that we are and have been desperate for a proven striker.Billy in his day was that person, but now, despite his ongoing efforts and tireless running,he no longer has that striker skill set and it is clear that a good part of our problem this season was and is lack of goals. Of course it is a team game and the boys have to defend and attack as a unit,but now we need to look at our attacking players and options and recruit well in the summer.We need to start by trying as hard as we can to keep Samuel and some of the other loanees.We need to try and keep our defence intact,enhance the midfield and go out a find a ' nugget'who is a proven goal scorer.

Well done to the boys today.At last we got away from the dreaded 9th at last.We had been there for a long time. Now a big game on Friday.We can dream,look for a win,then hope Morton slip up and you never know we could avoid the playoffs.No doubt big games to come,but they are all big at this time of the season,especially if you are ar the wrong end of the table.

I was worried we didn't manage to make the most of the wind on our side first half. Thought we might collapse when they equalised,but credit to boys for holding on. The first period of second half we lost our way and I think the sending off changed things. What a cracker by Samuel who was easy the best player on the park. I thought we could have got fresh legs on sooner. I think that is our 3rd home win this season which is not good enough to be honest but let's be delighted that for once other results went our way. What a big game next week is going to be.

Good,I knew you would come on side.Lets see where we are in six games

Six games to go and some shouting for sack this one and that one and the board. A)who is out there willing to splash their cash?I don't see or hear of anyone.Then what do we do? B)We maybe are in a precarious position financially and in the league but if the Chairman,CEO and board walked away where would we be?Certainly not better off. C)Do you not think this is the time to all pull in the same direction and make sure we are not in the playoffs for going down.The boys could do with knowing we are rooting for them.Lets be positive,hope Ayr lose on Friday and we win on Saturday and then we try and beat Abroath at home. D)Let's get safe in the league and then look at all options and maybe we will know outcome of battery appeal during summer.If SG overturn HC decision we are much better off.We then rebuild in summer. E)Don't you think the constant negativity has an effect on the boys.They need us on side,not talking of mutiny and throwing the ships command overboard and certainly not at the end of March.

Phew, my nails have taken a battering today.Well done lads a good result,could have been 3 points,but no complaints about Ridgers as he has kept us in so many games.A draw at least next week and then a big game at home to Arbroath although our home form worries me.

I would take a draw right now and same next week and then a win at home to Abroath. Real pity about the goal,but Ridgers has been very good for us and unfortunately if he makes a mistake it is usually a goal,whereas outfield you can get away with making mistakes.

I'm nervous too Robert. We need to score goals so a change up front might do it. That said, we need the midfield to send decent balls into the strikers and use wingers.

The only real action in the ground and you missed it

That was frankly desperate. I cannot think of a positive tonight.There was no fight,desire,or endeavour and we made Ayr look semi decent..Ayr first attack and they get a goal.Realistically we could play until next Saturday and never look like scoring.If it wasn't for the penalty we were never going to score.Credit to Billy for taking it and scoring. Never mind,Dundee United next week!!! We are so lucky that Arbroath are worse than us. Now that must go down as one of the worst games this season,although there is a lot to chose from.

Highland Council were happy for five of them (Councillors) to make a decision on this one,until three of the five voted in 'favour' and went off script. This was deemed a bad look. Then they scrambled about,broke a few rules and arranged the vote to go to the full Council. At this meeting we have the laughing show piece of Councillor MacPherson versus the Convener,three Councilors abstain,six cannot take part because of their interests ,or what they previously said or discussed on the issue,23 voted for and 30 against and this is deemed a good look. They are a laughing stock and it shows us all that when you put a group of unqualified people in a room and ask them to make key decisions on our future and that of the community,anything can happen. This is a classic example of you get what you voted for. Just a pit more people would not show an interest in local elections and vote for people that can do the job. In this case we have an area of 2% of the land available,which I understand is waste ground that could be turned into something thatwould generate income for ITC,but as important all the community work they do.In fact it would allow them to enhance all that and better serve the community at large in many ways. Unfortunately I guess politics came into play and blinded the views of some of these Councillors who were unable to open their eyes to the bigger picture. As for the club, credit where it is due for pursuing this idea, just a pity that they had to come up against the great and good of HIghland Council.

I thought we played well today and MOM Kerr.He has made midfield his own. The new lads all did well particularly Lawal. Thought the officials were poor and the standside linesman could have helped more. If I Could tell the boys three words to help it would be Shoot,Shoot SHOOT!!!

Imrie style of football to get physical when losing.Well done to a first class effort from a depleted squad.Do the same next week and we will finally get away from the bottom.

Hopefully we can keep this action up and take a win up the road.A long way to go but 9th playing 4th we are doing okay.I said if we can get four points from today and last week we will be doing well. Hopefully some on here who continually beat the doom and gloom drum,will give the boys a chance.
