Survival Saturday

Falkirk leading United 1-0 in the play off semi-final. (agg 3-2)

[PerfICT]

Not any more: 2-1 United. I'd like that to go to extra time.

[PerfICT]

So it's DUFC who await tomorrow's showdown. Let's just hope that it is that are lucky enough to have a crack at them.

[tm4tj]

Aye, tough game whoever got through. Up to us or Accies to get there now.

First leg will be 7:45pm at Tannadice on Thursday 25th May.

Final return leg Sunday 28th May at 3:00pm. Hopefully in Inverness.

[Yngwie]

Bookies have both ICT and Hamilton as clear favourites to win their respective games, which would obviously mean us finishing bottom. Bookies are usually right......but often wrong!

If you speak really nicely to the Minister, Kenny, I'm sure he would make an exception

No matter what happens, let's show our appreciation to the players at full time.

If we are down and many depart, we must show our appreciation for the cup runs, cup final win, top six finishes and the European foray.

Even with the disappointment of this season, guys like Raven, Warren, Draper and Tansey deserve that from us all!

Come on Caley Thistle!!

Agree 100%. So sorry I can't be there today for this massive game. Hope everyone gets behind the boys even if things aren't going our way. It's going to be a nervy afternoon for sure. Come on ICT...we have a chance, go grab it.

Sitting in the airport now enjoying a nice balanced breakfast of a sausage and egg bap with a pint of Guinness. Next stop the caley club. Come on the ICT

[ictfcsince94]

mon caley eh!!!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!?!

[tm4tj]

This is what failure sounds like. 

 

[DWH]

Confident the boys will do the business : all hangs on Dundee doing us a massive favour.

[Row S]

Not forgetting us beating Motherwell of course.

If we can't beat what is essentially the Motherwell 2nd string at home then we really do deserve to go down . I'm having a hefty wager on us beating them .

[davieB]

I've just got a horrible feeling that we'll win...but so will Hamilton. Hopefully I'm wrong. 

[The Long Man]

Yes, that's my big fear, that Hamilton will do enough and Dundee won't have the motivation. But it's out of our hands, and we have contrived to get ourselves into this situation.

That's my big worry too , had a premonition that we were winning and Accies drawing until they get an added time winner to send us down . Going to bet the double and hope I lose my money !

[PerfICT]

Yes, of 9 possible W/D/L combinations, only 2 will do us (excluding the unlikely scenario of us drawing and Hamilton losing by 5 or more). So, the straight odds are against us. However, I feel our chances of a win are better than Hamilton's because they're on a 4-game losing run. Whatever way you look at this, we're not really favourites to get out of the hole we've dug ourselves...but this is football, so what do odds matter! C'MON ICT

[BallisticSheriff]

On the train, the big man has made it awfy dreich. Perfect Highland welcome for the Motherwell fans. Hopefully the folk from Daviot to Dingwall will hear the crowd.

This probably isn't the right moment to split hairs but, whilst I do agree that realistically only two of nine possible result permutations will do, the likelihood of reaching the playoffs now = (probability of ICT beating Motherwell) x (probability of Hamilton failing to beat Dundee).

[bishbashbosh]

took my rcfc grandkids to dingwall on Tuesday as their dad was working.

after gardyne scored his wonder goal on 3 mins  I thought Hamilton bossed the game to the end.

rc scored  with 2 superb strikes ( franks had ballooned 2 previous hits over the bar before his strike on 94 mins) and a fluke coming back off the post then the keeper turned round to look for the ball it hit his leg and went in.

Hamilton hit the inside of the post twice and fox had 3-4 tremendous saves to keep them out.

I agree with manning and the bbc online report that they should have taken something from the game, probably the 3 points.

bad luck has to change sometime 

If  hamilton play like they did on Tuesday cant see Dundee winning.

heard 2 old county geezers on the way out  " ah well" one said, "we have given caley thistle a fighting chance. they cant blame us now if they don't stay up"

getting ready to head to the showdown, here's hoping it's all we can do

If you want to split hairs, that would be:

(probability of ICT beating Motherwell) x (probability of Hamilton failing to beat Dundee)

    + (probability of ICT drawing with Motherwell) x (probability of Hamilton losing to Dundee by at least 5 goals)

miniscule though the second one is.
