Caley Shaun Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Another tough game, away at East End Park against a Dunfermline team that drew Living and also cost Ian Cathro his job at Hearts after knocking out Hearts of league cup just last week. If we play as we did today and somehow manage to score goals then I say 2-1 ICT. I can't see any new signings before this game, I'd go with same again with only changes being Seedorf for Chalmers unless Seedorf still ill/injured and Mulraney for Polworth. Ridgers Seedorf McKay Elsdon Raven Calder Draper Vigurs Mulraney Oakley and Baird. Subs: Esson; Chalmers; MacDonald; Bell; Cooper; Polworth and Zschusschen.

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Normally when we play ICT they bully us physically and grind out a 1-0 or something so I do have a bit of the fear about this one, especially since McManus is still out and we missed Morris big time yesterday. Hopefully we get through Wednesday without any more injuries and without being absolutely thumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Some rumours that Draper will be leaving to County before this game. I wasn't at the game yesterday but sounds as though we had a lot of the ball but couldn't really create any chances or score. That's what we've seen so far in the league cup group stages as well and I don't think we've got enough threat up front. From what I can see Robertson is trying to play a 4-4-2 with a bit of flexibility, having Polworth tuck in and Baird play wide if required. Oakley is a decent player but I'm not sure he's a goalscorer.Defensively I've not got much confidence in Chalmers and Elsdon is very inexperienced. Ridgers looks another bomb scare goalkeeper.

Since we last played in the same league 5 seasons ago (which incidentally included a 3-3 at yours) we've had 2 or 3 different managers and squads. The only recent result was when Foran's team, which couldn't bully their way out of a wet paper bag, ground out a 5-1 in the League Cup last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Even in that game we were totally out-fought in the midfield, although it helped that the boy Mulraney had a good game too. We've always been lacking in physicality for some reason and if you can bully your way out of a paper bag, you can bully our team no bother.

ICTChris Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Mulreany was excellent in that game, got a lot of people excited about him. He didn't live up to it last season, we'll see how he does this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 How's big Wedderburn getting on? I always thought he was pretty reasonable most of the times he played for us, though the top flight was maybe a step too far for him. Some of our fans absolutely hated him though for some reason and were out to get him from the moment he signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the finest players to ever pull on the famous black and white stripes imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I can only remember 2 victories against ICT out of all the times we've played them. Surely there's more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The first home game of the 99 season (and my first Pars game) we fucked Inverness 4-1? Or 4-0.We best them both times at home that season but I don't think I've seen us beat them since that game in 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I hate playing ICT. Even when we play them off the pitch they score some shitey goal from a set piece in injury time. Total bogey side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We did beat them in a mildly important Scottish Cup tie in 2004 tbf. Thankfully we got our own back with last seasons League Cup group stage victory. A win that will be talked about until the end of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
