However we have beaten 2 prem teams to get here whilst Falkirk have not so think we are slight favourites? If we turn up that is ICT should be definite favourites for this. League above and royally pumped two Premiership sides. The question of teams turning up or not is irrelevant at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if we got either never mind both We will be Saturday lunchtime or evening on BBC with the OF on that other channel that won't want anything to do with Falkirk v Caley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Inverness looked great vs Killie. Hopefully our semi final form as of late will see us in good stead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I wonder if the hex ICT have over Rovers has transferred onto McGlynn? Although we did win two cup penalty shoot outs against them under him, so maybe that's an omen for Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk won from a penalty and a Musanda deflection, having said that they are a young team and their massive enthusiasm carried the night, little midfield play from them as the ball seemed always punted to the wing for Kennedy who had an outstanding game and and one to watch, their support was magnificient which carried Falkirk throughout. Donaldson? conceded a nasty yellow with a deliberate elbow into the boys head going for a high ball then he concedes the penalty. On that I am contacting the SFA for a semi and a FINAL ticket. Absolute pish from start to finish. What a ridiculous post. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Rumours that this game will be on the Sunday as there’s multiple road closures for the Kiltwalk and this will have a lower attendance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I fail to see why taking money out the clubs’ pockets by playing it away from Hampden is a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between 15-17k is probably the ball park. Tynecastle/Easter Road would be some atmosphere with that in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also costs money that the clubs would rather have. The players would also prefer Hampden if you asked them, I’m sure of it. It’s moot anyway as we all know the game will be at Hampden like every Scottish Cup semi-final since, what, the 80s? (When Hampden hasn’t been available for any other reason). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 9 hours ago, ICTChris said: I think our line up, if everyone is fit, would be pretty close to the starting XI against Killie ---------------Ridgers------------- --Duffy----Deas-----Devine---Harper-- -----------Welsh----Allardice--------- ----Henderson---Carson-----Shaw----- ----------------Mckay------------------ You could maybe swap Carson to right-back and incorporate Doran or Daniel Mckay and rejig the '3' but I thought Carson in midfield really worked for us and we should continue with that - he can drop back and solidify the middle, allow Welsh to push up etc which you don't really get if you play Shaw or Doran there. Strong points of that line up are Billy Mckay, just a class striker and probably our overall best player. Henderson and Shaw are also both coming into a game. Weak points, for me, are the full backs - Harper has improved defensively in the last few games he's played there but question marks remain and I'm not sold on Duffy as a player in general, not just as a right back. You've omitted Roddy MacGregor who has been sorely missed. I thought he was just beginning to impose himself before falling to injury and now that he's back I would've thought that he'll add something that is generally beyond the enthusiastic Carson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
