Dundee v ICT (must win game)

[The Long Man]

bit premature there, still a long way to go, with the odds against us. We've seen false dawns under Foran before, he is still capable of shooting himself in both feet.

He has had an appalling season but Richie deserves a great deal of credit for that. If, and it's still a very big if indeed, he keeps us up, he probably deserves to be given until Christmas to try to get to grips with learning to be a manager.

Agree to the first part, not the second. That argument is for later, though. Right now, we all need to just get behind the boys and roar them to victory on Saturday. What happens elsewhere is not in our hands, but we just need to do everything we can to help get a victory on Saturday.

when i booked flights over for this Saturdays game i was resigned to the thought of it being a nothing game as we would have probably been down. Never been so happy to be wrong. This game is now the most important of the season and i can't wait. Nights like tonight remind me why i fell in love with this club in the first place

We have no control over what happens at New Douglas Park on Saturday but we can control what happens at Inverness. We need every advantage we can muster including a huge home crowd. The board haven't done much to help this season but one thing they can now do is reduce entry to a fiver for adults and free entry for concessions to make sure that the home stands are packed.

Will cost us about thirty grand but that pales into insignificance compared to the over a million pounds we will lose every single season we are out of the Premiership.

I fell in love with the cup two years ago, right now I'd just love to stay in the Premiership.

We will lose this game, absolutely no doubt about it.

All thsi stuff about how much it means, huge game, fight for it.  It's meaningless.  We aren't good enough.  We continually present the opposition with goals and can't score goals ourselves.

[IT86]

Blimey....believe.......again...

[tm4tj]

Oh well, we can enjoy it for now. Nonetheless, the opponents waiting to spoil any party will be no pushovers. Dundee United or Falkirk put on a decent game in midweek with some cracking goals. 

But for now, let's savour the moment.

Forans radio interview is just cringeworthy. Clueless!

 

I always like to revisit pre-match comments post-match!

Just in from the match. What a great away game. Enthusiastic crowd backing the players throughout the whole match. And tremendous effort, as well as some very good play, from the team. Bring on Saturday! But hope a better Dundee turn up in Hamilton...

Anier for Mckay............... What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our attackers were getting tired at that stage - but Fisher more than McKay. Fisher was finished, and Draper was out of fuel too, so it was time for something to change.

But Anier? He came on and did nothing tonight. NOTHING. No pace, no workrate, no use.

I think on this occasion we can safely ignore all the stats except the one that matters. We scored two goals, they scored none. We have three points and with it still have hope.

[tm4tj]

Don't worry about the stats Scarlet. We deserved this according to all accounts I have heard or read.

I told you Johndo.....

[Scarlet Pimple]

Well, Kingsmills ,I have given you a green do for that one. Right on Sir.  Wheeee!

[Yngwie]

Great first half with chances at both ends. Second half we were just trying to keep it tight, and when we got a chance to attack we would just hold the ball up rather than try to play someone in. It worked, so we can't complain.

Has to be said though that Dundee showed no urgency, it showed that they are safe. So the game just fizzled out, which suited us fine.

[Scarlet Pimple]

And one for IHE cause he's good at duplicating comments of worth.

By the by, I'm really relaxed now and personally could not care less if their shots on goal were fewer 'cos obviously they were more accurate. What a start to the game. Dee must have been shell shocked...eh? Whee!

Situation normal then
