    One thing that i think will happen today is ICT will use a bit of mind games and loose. I am sure they know their chances of making second are as likely as ours is of winning the championship! I dont see them having much of an issue to get past Ayr, then i fear will show up all guns blazing over 2 games in the play-offs.
    You honestly think ICT will go out today to lose? Think you're over thinking this. If we were in n the same position do you think we'd go out and try to lose?

    Think they did it to us already, or did we do it to them in the cup game?

    Seeing the reality of the situation, ICT could rest players and play fringe players, etc. They will not go out to deliberately lose the game, but may decide to give some fringe players game time. Remember they will have potentially 6 play off ties at the end of the normal league season. They will want to prepare for that. How they do that is up to them. Is finishing 3rd rather than fourtrh a big deal to them? Basically that is all that remains of the normal league season to them. What is more important to them, the unrealistic challenge of catching United for 2nd place, finishing 3rd, or preparing for the play offs?

    Depending upon today's result, Rossco will soon begin to prepare for their pre-season games.

    Not the point I was making, understandable if they make changes and rest players. Point is will that 11 go out to deliberately lose in an attempt to alter the mindset of Robbie & the players for the upcoming potential games v us?

    I certainly don't.
