Aberdeen? .....Catchable?

 

YES!

As noted by Ywingwie, it was Raven's first goal for the club, but the other two goals were also 'mile-stones'. Marley Watkins goal was also his maiden strike for Inverness while Billy's goal takes his tally to 50 for ICT in all competitions - in his 100th appearance. 100 caps, 50 goals...the ratio of a top striker!

What can I say but....

Draper was superb last night. Along with Tansey they dominated Tidser and Kiss in the midfield. It was men against wee boys at times.

Wasn't going to go last night but so glad I did in the end. Can add little to what's been said already. I am a John Hughes sceptic but that must have been the best we've played under his management. The tactics could not be faulted and each and every player stood up to the plate and it's impossible to single out any individual. We were so dominant that Hughes was able to give Billy a 20 minute rest ahead of what's bound to be a hard shift for him up front on his own on Saturday. Smart thinking.

 

What a racket me made outsinging the natives from start to finish, not that there were many left by the end. If we can get five times as many as that in that sort of voice for the final then Parkhead will be rocking. If the team play like that then Aberdeen better watch out.

according to the P & J this morning we beat County 5-0. Did I fall asleep????

What's this about not winning in Dingwall for 10 years? It must be about 17 since we won in Cowdenbeath or Montrose

So where's Dougal!

I'm not a fan of Hughes...

Really RIG?  I'd never have guessed, it's just as well you start nearly every post you make these days by reminding us of that first.  Thanks, we'll bear that in mind.

What's this? Humility from Adams?!! Surely some mistake...

Well, it's the day after the night before and I'm still in shock.  It's incredible, mind boggling - but true..........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

..... County's pitch is better than ours

Thanks Mantis, was waiting for that.

 

Crikey, Billy doesn't half floor Shinnie after the goal...

 

And great to see Doran flying again.

Charlie Christie refused my offer to buy him a drink. What a heartbreaker.

As a result of our goals last night, County have now conceded more goals than even Hearts, and now boast the worst defensive record in the league with 49 goals against.

 

Remarkably ICT have only conceded 21, bettered only by Celtic. To put this in context, our rivals Aberdeen and Motherwell have conceded 26 and 39 respectively.

 

This must be ICT's best defence ever, and the keeper's nae bad either.

Looking at the results last night ... St J beating Motherwell by three goals .... maybe our Saturday result was even better than we thought and maybe up alongside this one.

"Saints not playing well, ICT winning ugly", was maybe because Saints were a better side than we thought at the time... whereas the County were just crap ... I think I want to say that again..... County were just crap Mr Adams!

I think we have just witnessed six very big points for us! It helps our league position but it also gives the team a lift at the right time.

:clapping: :clapping:

How could the defender who allowed Dave the Rave slide tackle the ball into the net off his feet not be for stupidity?

         

Taking into account the news I got at last night's business meeting and the nice hike in the afternoon it was easily my best day in a few months.

Who did have the younger team? I'm not familiar with the ages of their players

 

As Watkins celebrates in front of what is left of The Jailend a County fan prepares to lob something at him but thinks better of it.

Had to laugh last night - was "watching" the game via BBC text updates (is there a worse medium for following football?) and was so surprised that Raven had scored, especially given the description that he turned in a cross from Oikonomu, or something like that), my son was certain it was an own-goal and made me cross-check against other websites. Oh he of little faith: Dave the Rave positively ripped that in from 1 yard!

Derek Adams has confirmed that he has asked Vincent Lunny to serve a notice of complaint on the Ross County fan about to throw his Tenants Lager can at Marley. Marley is apparently a Real Ale fan!!

Remember the days of following the scores on Ceefax?!

That's how I followed the 'SuperCaleygoballistic' game.

Full match report now added :)

Absinthe and saki normally goes down so well on a Tuesday night too.  You didn't forget the maraschino cherries did you*?
