BBC Scotland's Kenny Crawford at McDiarmid Park:

"Richie Brittain has Ross County's first proper shot on target and it sails over. "What a waste of money" sing the St Johnstone fans."

 

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

F-T 2-0 - another good display - probably best form heading to a game in Glasgow against one of the evil twins

[+bughtmaster]

Well done ICT 100percent and counting

crowd elsewhere is kind of irrelevant though isnt it ... ICT .... a good season last year .... top of the league this year, undefeated in 3, no goals conceded, and a match against last year's second best team which is usually a ding-dong affair .... what more do we need to get a better crowd than 3031 !!!

[Yngwie]

3 well deserved wins, 3 clean sheets. Fantastic stuff.

[SMEE]

Played really well first half. Knocked the ball about delightfully at times. Was real good to watch. Second half, Well came into it more and it was more even. All in all, an excellent day at the office.

[MuirtownJaggy]

Terry says stamina, style and steel, is how ICT play. Can't argue with that.

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Another great display and another clean sheet.  I have to pinch myself everytime I look at the league table (which is rather often).  Carry on the good work at Parkhead next week lads.

The movement first half and dominance of motherwell was excellent to see, we should have put the game to bed by half time. Second half motherwell came into it and made changes to try break our play which worked and we weren't as effective or created as much.

celtic will be a much harder test but overall the signs are good. On the day county got routed and their big money foreign legion failed to perform it shows what players with the right attitude can do.

[Libero]

Will try to summarise that game having just got home.

 

First half was exceptional, passing, movement, defending all excellent but the part of the game where we really impressed was attacking. We looked so dangerous going forward that Motherwell could not cope with us. The first goal was a great header from Foran but our second was an absolute joy to watch. Some quick passing and movement between Raven, Doran and McKay and the ball was in the back of the net. Great goal and Vincent had two opportunities to add to it. One was a shot which was deflected just over the bar and the next chance was a volley which screamed just over. We ended the first team in the ascendency.

 

Second half was a much more scrappy affair where Motherwell had a lot more of the ball without really threatening. The changes they made seemed to help them and they were much better at holding the ball. It looked at times like we were happy to sit back and rest on our 2-0 lead but we defended resolutely.We had the odd attack forward but nothing clear cut other than a Doran chance late on.

 

To conclude, first half was exceptional, second half we switched off a bit and were happy to let the game fizzle out

[12th Man]

Bullet header by foran for the first goal,  goal no 2 came from creative play for BM to finish off.  Totally out classed Motherwell in the 1st half  but they certainly had a lot more chances after the break with the wind helping. 

Yet another clean sheet, well done to not just the goalie but the whole team for that. Another 3 points on the board  and its nice to see a certain Caley Jags flag on display at home again.

 

Derek Adams watches his team play the worst game ever (since last week) will probably tell every one they have the leagues best defence and that the league starts next week?

 

Good luck against Celtic  whoever they field  its going to be a tough tough  match for them.

[HeScoresWhenHeWants]

Great performance yet again, Foran was excellent again today as he was last week and his goal was a superb diving header. McKay wa brilliant in the first half and his goal was a nice finish too. 3 wins, 3 clean sheets and 5 goals! Great day out with County getting a nice 4-0 beating too! Also Nice to hear ICT getting praise on BBC Scotland! Bring on Celtic!

[A96]

Excellent display and result once again from our boys at ICT. Well done to the guys on the pitch and the management team!! Must be our best start to a season so far?

 

First half was a delight to watch with some very neat football. Second half was harder work with Motherwell pressing us hard and closing us down. But what a defence! There is always someone there to back up his team mate or to make last ditch tackles/clearances. Very impressive team work.

 

Really disappointed with the attendance though. Credit to those who were there but this team deserves a far bigger crowd. So, for those who weren't there - switch Sky Sports off, do your shopping in Tesco's some other time, get someone else to fix your car etc, etc.................and get yourself along to support your excellent local football team!!!!!  

[Biggin]

Another great result and clean sheet only wish Spain was nearer so I could get to the games    

[Yngwie]

3 wins, 3 clean sheets and 5 goals!

 

3+1+2.......

[een]

What a start to the season,......3 games played, 9 points in the bag and even more incredible.....we are 20 points off the bottom  !!!!

[Naelifts]

Yes..........and your point is Yngwie?
