Heard that Robbo has frozen Machado out due to some fall out with him and his family over circumstances surrounding an offer we had from some European team.

[Robert]

Walsh! 2-1!!

[+standbydave]

Stand to be corrected.....Tom Walsh get in there

[caley100]

[Robert]

Toshney booked. 

[Robert]

Trafford on for Doran. 

[WYNESS101]

[Robert]

Yes! Big result. 

But 4 bookings from only 7 fouls??

[Ronaldo]

Well done boys superb result!

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Absolutely critical result. Brilliant news. With all the Hibs players probably now going to sleep, our boys will no doubt have a Pizza, and then a long journey home up the A9.  They will not get to bed before 2 am Wednesday and then on Friday set off again. Amazing.

That’s what counts! One went in off the bar and the other took a deflection but who cares, we got what we needed!

[Yngwie]

Great result for us, but it has to be said, the game’s best chances all fell for the home side who will be wondering how they didn’t take something. Thankfully for us most of their finishing was woeful, although the goal was a beautiful strike. Not sure was Doran was doing when he gave the ball away cheaply.

Our players put 100% into this match, with plenty of full blooded tackles going in, and at full time many of them collapsed to the ground rather than celebrated the win.

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Yes, been out all evening with no access to internet.  Great win.  Just having a wee dram now to celebrate.   Same again on Friday night would be nice.  Both the result and another dram.  Well done lads.

[CaleyTennis]

How did young Roddy Mcgregor do :), its good to see the youngster get a first team start ?

Great to hear about the effort put in. It is good we seem to be pulling together as a squad.

A tough schedule with midweek games for the next three weeks which will be pivotal to our season and our chances of staying second  

Roll on Hibs!

Strange game. I thought we were pretty comfortable despite Dunfermline having many more opportunities than us throughout the 90. Their first couple of efforts showed their complete inability to finish anything of note that came their way so although the stats show a lot of shots for the Pars most were wild swipes and slices that seldom troubled Ridgers and when they were on target he had an easy save to make. There was one effort in the second half that Ridgers did pull off an excellent save when he flung himself to his right to turn away a goal bound shot from Thomas (I think).

For most of the first half we seemed content to calmly stroke the ball about before trying to pick out Doran or Storey behind the Dunfermline defence and we didn't create too much of note. Defensively we seemed pretty open and Toshney and Mckay seemed to lose their bearings quite a bit trying to deal with Nisbet and Thomas. No idea if the Doran free kick was over the line or not. The only person who seemed absolutely convinced was the linesman who was tearing it back to the halfway line long before the referee seemed to signal it was given. More than happy to take it obviously. laughable dive in the box by MacGregor. If he had maybe taken a touch he probably had a decent chance to score but for some reason collapsed in a heap for no reason.

Smashing equaliser from Thomas. We didn't clear a corner and for some reason Doran tried to dribble the ball away by, *checks notes* , running across the penalty area....He was tackled and the ball broke to Thomas who smashed a bullet of a strike into the top corner with Ridgers well beaten. One of those hits that you knew was in as soon as it left his boot.

Danny "Fucking" Devine of all people almost grabbed a second for the Pars when he headed wide at the back post under pressure from two ICT defenders and then Walsh rolled his marker expertly before unleashing a low curling effort that cracked off the base of the post. however he wasn't to be denied and on an ICT break Walsh received the ball after a lovely dummy from Jordan White and, with the aid of a deflection, found the net as Fon Williams went the other way.

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

According to the Pars website, Danny Devine deflected the ball past Fon Williams - once an ICT player, always an ICT player!!

With 7 games in March it is absolutely critical that home supporters absolutely support the team during difficult periods. Away supporters are always positive.

Hasn't being out on loan either. I'm sure I heard robbo saying he was keeping him wrapped up as he doesn't want other teams seeing how good he is

Worrying if true

If true, would've been nice if the club had said "Machado has been released on mutual terms".
