Very good performance tonight given the circumstances. Szromnik is not going to be a lucky keeper for us, it appears. He had to go though, as he hesitated upon coming out...he would have been far better to retreat and make the ICT player make a decision. No point in being a man down as well as a goal. His confidence may never recover now. After that, United fought and even played some good football. A very hard working performance, with Fojut and McGowan standouts. The ref will get lots of pelters I'm sure, and he did bottle the Raven sending off just after half time (I thought Dixon played for it, and was a bit lucky to get a foul at all, but having given it, the ref was really duty bound to give a second yellow.) ICT are a really dirty team...they chopped down every United player who got past them, leave feet in, crowd the ref looking for cards continuously - hence the 5 bookings. There could and should have been more. Shinnie's a moany wee shite: he'll fit in very well at Pittodrie. United need to take heart from the teamwork and fight shown and put Thistle away this weekend to get back on track. |

Best thing that happened was the goalkeeper getting sent off. As well as reducing the likelihood of losing a soft goal, it got the team and crowd going. ICT were a decent threat, plenty of pace up front that caused us problems, not sure if the run up to the goal was offside, but seemed close. Once down to 10 men, it felt like our midfield did their job - working hard, closing down and tackling players. Butcher and Paton did well. Other than that the team did well to match up to the physical style of ICT - Ciftci, McGowan and Fojot got stuck in which we needed. Connolly had a quiet game, few good moments, but was hard for him to get going. Dow worked hard but most of his play was a dead end, Ciftci managed to just about contain the aggression enough to cause them problems without causing us more problems. Ref was poor, although the red card was correct, the match soon got out of his control and he was booking players inconsistently and falling for theatrics far too often. Overall, was a much better performance and good to see the team spirit again. But still a long way from convincing. |

Was it or wasn't it a penalty? Beginning to wonder. I thought it was, but the young lad was sitting down by the touch-line, and diwn there they were of the opinion that Marley Farley had started to dive before the collision. About the only mian I've got is that I think JMac should've taken the First Aiden Man off as opposed to Squiddy. Apart from his tricks, Connolly struggled in the air, where Erskkne is better. Officials were phuckin useless. Numerous occasions where the linesmen did'nt flag who's throw it was till the Ref decided first. Linesman at GF missed loads of handballs. Also one occasion in 2nd half where it was more like a Wilderness than Inverness player - clear 3 to 4 yards offside, and this alowed them to cross into the box. I coild see with relative eas from the GF that he was well off. Dowser was MOTM for me. Ran about daft all night, and boy what a couple of nearies. Paton much improved from Saturday. We were the better team by far and thought we deserved all 3 points. Did anybody see what happenned between Shifty and the rabbit Warren. Just saw the linesman running on. Looked like 2nd booking for rabbit Warren, and booking for Shifty. The time taken over this basically killed of the added time. |
