Some may be shocked lol but here is my thoughts on ICT of late and nobody is getting slated ;).
We gave it our all and tbh, we could have gone on to reach the play offs had we won today, that is my thoughts and that comes from our form since winning the challenge cup.
As for next season, if we can keep the vast majority of the squad intact for next season plus promote some of the youngsters and get in a few signings then we will be capable of challenging for the title next season.
And if we do lose our best players then hopefully our coaches and scouts /chairman can find young gems that are good enough to get us promoted because, imho, youth is the way to go, coupled with a bit of experience.
I expect that John and Co will already be eyeing up potential signings.
Onwards and upwards to next season but we do still have 6pts to play for so hopefully we can get 5th spot as that would represent a great season imho, from where we were just a couple of months ago.
So, I am one optimistic supporter, wonder who goes along with my optimism lol.
I'll wait and see how the next couple of weeks pan out and see who is leaving and if rumours about something not very pleasant is about to happen to the club have any substance before I start looking forward to a Championship title next season. But yeah I have cautious optimism about next season given our late season form as the situation currently stands, but that could change.

Can someone ensure Andy Cameron never ever appears on Radio again please.
The song Ally's Tartan Army should have finished his career, why is he still wheeled out 40 f***ing years after that disaster?

I'm sure I heard Jim Spence coughing into his mic like he always does on open all mics, confusingly also he seems to have got lost on his way to Inverness and ended up at East End Park for today's match and still managed to watch the game according to the BBC.

Hope Vigurs stays on, be a shame to lose him to a huge massive club like Dunfermline Athletic who would have him on less money than he is now. The cheap skates!
I wonder if the Tade factor has hit Morton with John Baird who was supposedly in some peoples eyes our best option (or rather our most recognised) up front? Probably just a coincidence that our form has improved while Morton's has dipped, not saying that Baird is by any means responsible he is decent enough for this level however I don't see any other way but him leaving. Probably one of the most underwhelming signings ever at Inverness CT.
In other news I see Alan Savage has been up to some back garden shenanigans, building a log cabin allegedly without planning permission much to the annoyance of his neighbours. The log cabin, probably a very interesting feature and would add a touch of class to any large garden with a view though very likely budget stretchingly expensive. However probably unlikely ever to flee to Romania with unpaid speeding fines when unable to financially maintain.

Tinpot outfit claiming to have world class stadium. As you can see world class stadium with a slight issue.

Anyone missed out or any corrections?
Its difficult for me to assess the players out of contract whether I would prefer that they will be signed up for next season as I have seen very little football this season, though have heard positives about Daniel MacKay and that he is one for the future.

My point was more to do with Dundee United's relevance to our run in, than our own. Obviously we can royally f**k it up.
The only relevance they have is tomorrows match. My point is your team has more points than teams who have played the same number of games and with United in the playoff place its all entirely up to Morton to stay there in the playoffs. If the players at Morton started worrying about what everyone else is doing instead of focusing on the task ahead this is going to go very very wrong. It matters not a jot what everyone else is doing unless you are playing them on that day. Some tough games ahead though, if you make it to the playoffs you will have earned and deserved it.

And considering that there's still other teams who have to take over us, I'd say there's more pressing concerns than Dundee United. If we drop out of the playoffs, it'll have been someone like Dunfermline, Queen of the South or Inverness that put us out of the position. Not a team who's already in the spots with two games in hand.
Not exactly, only Morton can shoot themselves in the foot to miss out on the playoffs. Mind you that's a pretty big foot/target that's grown in the last thirty years.
However we are probably running out of games, QotS have to win two more games than you and still have to play them. The Pars are one win behind and you don't play them again. So staying in the playoffs is very much up to how Morton perform in the final run in, yours to throw away.

It's just generally shite weather in Dundee now. Fog has cleared up but very dull, grey sky. Got extremely dark for a period of about 20 minutes which was a bit bizarre.
Isn't this normal Dundee weather most of the year round?

Its got really dark in Inverness over the last 5 minutes almost like dusk, yellow tint to the sky. Could be a thunderstorm with the air being so unstable. Temperature around 10c

Spooky yellow coloured clouds from where I am and the rooks from the near by woods don't know either to roost or head back out. Very little wind here in Inverness just dark with that yellow tint. Slight burning smell as well.

I don't see the problem with ordering pizzas, comfort food. The players would have been absolutely gutted with the result, especially if all the effort and opportunities were there in the game and then the roof collapsed after had we came back twice. Can't let the heads go down.

Was Draper really short of fitness when he took to the road north?
Good point. It could just be Draper short of fitness maybe he was carrying a small injury and probably had been away from the training ground longer, also lacked match sharpness which you can only get by playing 90 minutes, but it did slightly alarm me even just a few months into Robbo's time as manager with us as I well remember Craig Brewster's comments on the squad when he arrived in 2004.
When Craig Brewster and his management team took over from Robbo back in 2004 the major issues with the squad were fitness, discipline and lifestyle. Brewster took us to another level when he got our players as fit or even fitter than our rivals. Terry and Mo were also big on fitness, so its a no brainer.
Someone at work was saying that a few weeks ago the Caley Thistle squad turned up at the Aquadome, hang about for a bit, didn't do anything and then left.
See here, I'm using Robbo's first time as manager as an example, rather than see what he can do now, he should be a better wiser manager than back then. This I'm sure a lot of people will do over the next few months especially if little progress is made. There might not be a problem with fitness in the squad.

Its one of the most inaccurate, boring and over used words that keep getting thrown around every time a group of supporters cause trouble in this country either in the ground or outside, you know the word...Ultras!

I'm waiting for the inevitable 'Werther's Original incident' to happen, its been looking to boil over for a couple of years now. Once boiled sweeties start getting chucked about, leg blankets thrown up in the air in that Main Stand you will know shit is getting real.

Has anybody noticed any difference with the recent introduction of Tinder Gold? (the stupidly expensive feature that lets you see who has liked you?)
I've never used any of the pay features as I've always managed fine without them. I've definitely noticed a drop in matches since the new feature was rolled out though.
I've suspected Tinder has been dying a death for a while (or I'm getting uglier and my patter is getting worse). Last year there just seemed to be more birds on it who were genuinely interested in meeting up. I've still had my Nat King off three different birds from Tinder so far this year although I've no idea if that's good, bad, or indifferent compared to you fine fellows (I'm 35, average looking, greying hair) but just wondered if anybody else was starting to see a drop-off in activity on Tinder or if it's just me...
It could be due to more pubs opening in Inverness.

Hibs are playing blinder without really trying hard.
Can't be many clubs left in the SPFL that haven't angered the self entitled ones since the death of the old club at some point.
I have to pay my respects to Hibs at some point in the near future. If I get the chance next season I will take in a few games at Easter Road, haven't been for a few years.
