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.

I thought for the first 10 minutes we were really good and thought I was at the wrong stadium .Then Dunfermiline got stuck in and it became a bit of a slog.We still had some nice touches and I think this team play better football than last seasons group.Yes of course we cannot score, which baffles me,but lady luck is not on our side either.Had Billy scored tonight the comments from some would have been different.We have drawn with Partick who are third, Dunfermline who were sixth I think and Arbroath who are bottom,so not end of the world stuff. I said if we get four points out of last night's game and at Morton we will be doing well. Well now we will have to beat Morton!! A bit of positivity helps the team and for me Kerr was standout as was Devine.Samuel is a warrior ip front. Finally,I think the loanees have shown real grit and determination and need to be cut a bit of slack.

That was more like an exciting game and certainly was not flat. I thought we were better first half, Partick took second half. I thought we had some nice touches and there was some good play.We have to remember that this team is work in progress and half the squad are new.We gave away soft goals and could have won it if pebble had just passed to Cammy running up his inside. That was never a red card when you consider kerr being poleaxed and no cards shown. At least we never lost,which looked highly possible the way things were going . Positive signs althoughI must admit some of the substitution were a bit strange.

That's your opinion STFU but still think we did alright as a team in fact think BBC had first half 47% us 53% Hibs.Mind we hit the crossbar and their first goal was a deflected shot. Just amazed how quick some on here just look for all the negative things with the team,not considering seven are new and Dunc is rebuilding.

No worries entitled to our own opinion,so respect yours. I think the team now has potential we just have to put the right pieces of the jig saw in the right places and hope Pebble can fo something up front.

Don't agree with all the negative comments on here I thought the boys did okay especially the first half. I thought ourback three of Mullen, Savage and Carracher did well enough and looked solid its our final third where we are struggling. 3-1 flattered Hibs,the first two goals were a deflections and a mistake. Dorans goal was quality. We need to up the tempo and be more proactive. I agree we need a striker and just a shame Samuel was out injured.

I suppose we have to accept its a new half team and a number of players have never played together. It's simple I suppose put the ball in the net to have any chance and if you cannot do that don't give away a goal. First half we had so many chances but tried to score the perfect goal.Queens first shot on target and they score.You couldn't make it up. Not despondent as Savage looked good,as did McAllister and Kerr. Samuel holds the ball up well and has show he can score,so sometimes we have to take a sore one,whilst we regroup and build a new. Next week will be the test and a time to show what we can do. Some of these boys met only two days ago so it is far to early to be overly critical.I didn't read much criticism last week when we beat second in the league,or when we were pipped by the top team before that. Why not give the team time to gel and get to know each other before slaughtering them. If we were to somehow beat Hibs next week will all those down on the team still be doom and gloom. We are far better than we were at the start of the season that's for sure and I'd have big Dunc anyday before the previous incumbent.

Was thinking that Dunc clearly wants a stronger more solid pool and the five who came in seem better and stronger than the five that left.We all were concerned that after our first 11 we did not have strong fringe players to call upon.Now we have bolstered our pool taking one in from Dundee,one from Ross County one from Wigan and I cannot recall where the other two are from.Already,the pool is stronger which allowed Dunc to take three defenders off today and put back on three equally strong defenders.Maybe an attacking midfielder would be the icing on the cake.It should make a difference having a strong bench to call upon.

Great result away against second.Had to listen on radio and seemed a good game with new boys doing okay. Dunc seems to have a sound idea of what he wants and how he wants us to play.Glad we tried shooting from outside the box for a change with good results. Samuel's seems to have slotted nicely into the space left by Spoony. Now we seem solid at the back and with options up front maybe we can start climbing the table.

Well the highlight of the first half was Samuel's who showed some nice touches,good positioning and good passes,the goal, which amazingy was a shot from outside the box.We said week after week we need to shoot more rather than pass into the goal.We do that today and score. Good to see Doran and MaGregor,Thompson and Co get run out. I have to say passing back and sideways non stop is boring to watch. When said and done banana skin avoided.

I thought we played pretty well tonight,passed the ball well and were on top for long spells.We need to shoot for goal more often rather than play about outside the box. Devine was immense tonight,but to be honest I think the whole team played pretty well just a pity we never took our chances and for that we paid the price.0-0 would have been a fair result. Just missing that cutting edge

Well done boys a good 3 points away at Ayr and we'll done the 109 travelling support.I thought if we got a point today and in our next two games we couldn't complain,but right now I would take 5 out of possible nine points which eould obviously be better. If only Logan Chalmers still played for us.He was a threat all day. Some nice balls in from Harper,but we never have players on the end of them.Could have easily had another two goals today.Big game Friday now especially with United losing today. I still think if we are in about the opposition box we should try shooting more, instead of trying to walk the ball into the net. Notwithstanding all that overall a good win. Anothrr former Caley player Oakley scores a hat trick for Morton.

Really a must win today.Watching the stream and so far nothing exciting to report. Big mistake by Ayr defender with a pass back,let's Billy Mackay in for a goal. C'mon boys build on that. Chalmers causing us problems. Real think we need to up the tempo and play with more urgency. Not feeling confident after that 45 and the game is generally scrappy.If only Spoony was playing. We need to move the ball about faster and take any opportunity to shoot.

I said it last week and still think that the saying 'Making a silk purse out of a sows ear' covers our problems.Realistically,we have no stand out stars in our team,we have men who are trying their best most of the time. Other than Spoony who have we got that we can rely on to lead the way? Mackay,Welsh,Devine,Carson maybe but thereafter alas... Shaw is at his best on the wing,running down the channel.Udjur is steady but really our recruitment over the years has come home to roost and we have the problem of playing in the championship 100 miles north of Perth,so who,being half decent wants to come.Somehow we have to make the prospect of playing for ICT more attractive and I thought the prospect of playing for big Dunc was a start.

I suppose we shouldn't be too negative because other than Spoony this is Dodds team and Dunc up until now could only take players on loan or on a free.Silk purse and sows ear comes to mind.He has to fo his best with what he has at his disposal. Playing out from the back is good if the tempo is high and you have runners for the channels to cross in for strikers. That didn't happen today and Shaw didn't look settled where he was playing.I think we needed Welsh in the middle to direct operations. Let's give Dunc a chance to build his own team.

Scrappy game in which we tried to walk ball into net.We need to take more chances and shoot for goal.I think we needed more balls in from the wings and great to see Carson come on.Good we kept the back door closed,just a pity we were no sharper up front. Neither side shone today and if we don't up the tempo and get sharper at passing the best we can hope for is to stay in this league. Hopefully we will see positive moves in tansfer market

Delighted with that draw which I would have taken before kick off. Well done ICT we needed something from this game.With weather was listening to Celtic V Livingston but watching live score for our result.Now no long nails left on fingers.Hopefully ee can build on this result.

Beaten twice in a week by the two teams who were bottom at the start of the week. Very soft goals gifted yet again.The defence are leaking too many daft goals.Oh how we miss Carson at right back.That said we had nice toutches and had spells of good pressure.51/49 to us in first half.I'm afraid after our first 11 we are struggling.Knew we were finally doomed to a loss when I saw the subs. Included Sheridan and Harry. At least Dunc will know who to ship out January.Still feel confident with big Dunc at helm because if anyone can inspire this team it's him,even though he has to prove himself as a Manager.Two bad results don't mean we are doomed.We have January to get fresh blood in hopefully with a bit of talent.

Important we got a win today after last week's slip up.Well done boys and now heading in the right direction.What a difference big Dunc has made and worthy of Manager of the month for November

That was a sore one to take,but Raith showed why they are second in the league.The first half was all Raith and they should have been one up by half time.I think the whole ground saw it was a clear goal for Raith.The ref then tried to make amends by giving every split decision and other non incidents to Raith.I felt we were missing Carson on the right. Second half better, as we had a better tempo and we upped our game and I even thought we would steal it,although I would have settled for a draw even then. The draw came and I was sure we would hold on,all we had to do was keep the ball out of our box. Big Dunc must have the hide of a rhino.We were all wrapped up in everything we could wear and he was standing there in his shirt and jersey. One loss in 8 is not so bad so lets pick up points in the next three games. I didn't think things were that bad that we needed Sheridan to come on. In his day he was s reasonably good player but alas.

3 hours since that game ended and I am still shocked by that performance.These last few weeks everyone has been upbeat,but that today was like back in the Dodds era.Every player was poor in first half.The midfield were poor I thought for the 70 minutes and im afraid Sheridan has to hang up his boots. At least Dunc will have a good idea who needs to move on in January. Concerning, that after our first 11,these are the next line. Welsh was also very poor.
