Hastings and McAllister...Goal Heroes???

[MichaelICT]

I wonder if anybody at the start of the game could have predicted who would get the goals , Dargo and Bayne , Dargo and Wilson , Dodsy and Rosscoe. No . It was probably the last two you would think of Hastings and McAllister . Considering the fact that Richard has only scored 2 goals in his 300 Caley Thistle appearences and McAllister who only scored two this year and I thought would be the next player to leave the club would come up with the goals is amazing . I wonder what the odds were... :cdn:

I didn't think Hastings had ever scored for the club  :015: Wonder if it'll go down as an OG though?

Bet Chick Young feels even more of a t*t than usual after his 'Dunfermline are staying up' article on the BBC

50/1 and 4 the last 2 home games ive put £1 on him 4 a laugh and today he did me proud.51smackers in my pocket  :crazy07: :crazy07: :crazy07: :crazy07: :crazy07: :blah01: :blah01:

Hastings has been my player of the season, so good to see him chip in with a goal.

[MichaelICT]

I was in the North Stand so I didn't get a very good view of both goals . Was it a Hastings free kick or did he stab it in from close range? :024:

[Pele_Is_God]

Hastings free kick, went right through De Vries.

[MichaelICT]

For once credit to Charlie and Donald for taking the risk playing a 3-3-4 formation . Zander made a bit of an impact while Rory did well . Thought that the only player that didn't have a good game was Markus .

After Richard's golden goal against Mexico and his Champion's league goal in Russia I am sure today's effort was one of his best.

Rory is finishing the season on a high. International recognition and a good sub appearance capped with a goal. When he reaches the full international level the doubters will cringe.

Graham Bayne hardly got a mention for 100 appearances the other week - what do players have to do for ICT to get praise?

Rossco's 400th - a hero if ever there was one. Even the referee gave him a card today to mark the occasion.

Let's not forget Michael Fraser actually kept us in the game today with some top quality saves.

Darren Dods actually deserved a massive applause for his outstanding contribution to the club but left quite quietly.  Brilliant signing Robbo!!

[Harry Chibber]

what do players have to do for ICT to get praise?

Good question, seems everyone is happier to moan about what is wrong with the club rathers than see the positives

And who would have thought that Zander Sutherland would come on and end up marking Tom McManus out of the game? He had him in his pocket. :clapping03:

Well done to Charlie for giving the youngsters a chance. Thats the second time this season Sutherland and McAllister have turned the game for us against the Pars. Rory had an amazing 25 yard pile driver just pass the post before he scored, and even though his goal was deflected I reckon it was going in anyway.

Up until their introduction we were p1sh. Jigsaw Bayne performed like a Lada Riva, Dargo looked like he was going through the motions. Paatelinen kept trying to do the same trick every time he got the ball and got tackled every time. The only penetration we got was from Richie Hart, but his final touch was lacking. Blackie looked back to his best pulling the strings in the middle, the seasons ending at the wrong time for him.

The best player on the park was Dunfermlines left wing back - if we're looking at nicking some of their players he should be top of the list.

Don't go along with much of your observations......................

[gordyfromsneck]

Because we were shooting the "wrong" way today, I finally got a look at Zander. He is going to be one **** of a player. Every time he got the ball, instead of finding space, he took 3 or 4 players with him, and quite frequently got the ball into the middle. The game shifted gear when he came on. With him, Markus, Rankin and Cowie, again we are going to have some great young players next season.

Top result!

[FortressICT]

maybe thats because of the atmosphere?!!dunno.we inspired him.instead of criticising the team 2day we got behind them when we were losing and look what happened?!

[davieB]

No keeper in the world would've held onto Hastings free kick :023:

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

We now know why his mum named him Doris!

Just a surprise his dad was not named De Vlexion.

[IcyTea]

Not a bad 30th birthday for Hastings, a goal, MOTM and voted 3rd in the players' player of the year.

[Charles Bannerman]

According to Ian Broadfoot's impeccable statistics, that was Richard's third goal for Caley Thistle, the other two having come in something of a scoring spree in October and November 1995. So that was the first time he'd scored since he was a teenager... not bad for a man who turns 30 and reaches his 300th appearance this weekend.

yeah - nice one Richard and Rory ..... heard the in-stadium bookies took a bit of a hit on this game too  more for the result than the scorers though.
