    Inverness CT 1-0 Livingston - ScCup -Report

    Livi Blown Away.

     

    An even first half where both sides had efforts cleared from the goalmouth produced no goals with defences on top. The wind was causing as much havoc as the officials. Sean Welsh fired just wide at the start of the second half, but he made no mistake with a free kick on the hour to open the scoring. Plenty of huff and puff thereafter, but no further scoring and it's the Caley Jags that go into tomorrows draw for the next round.

    That draw has now been made and we will travel to Easter Road to take on Hibernian on the weekend of the 29th February. 

    Welsh buries the free kick.......scorcher.

    Despite claiming a clean bill of health, there was no sign of Aaron Doran's name on the paperwork. Sean Welsh started but James Keatings was on the bench. Livi made five changes to the squad that went to Dingwall in midweek, but Dolly Menga still started on the bench. In went Schofield, Lawson, Lamie, Jacobs and Souda, out went McCrorie, McMillan, Taylor-Sinclair, Sibbald & Robinson.

    The managers on BBC Sport

    Inverness CT manager John Robertson"It's a measure of this club's history in the Scottish Cup that people don't really see our result today as a shock. A surprise maybe, but not a shock."

    Livingston manager Gary Holt"We talked at half-time about not making mistakes, and it's a mistake that cost us, simple as that."

    RIG summed it up like this...............

    the midfield trio of Welsh, Carson and Trafford were excellent. Slightly disappointed in Storey and Walsh as, in the first half, we seemed to get real joy out of attacking Livi down the flanks, particularly the right side, and it was a shame we didn't try and take advantage of their apparent lack of midfield cover for the fullback.
     

    Although Livi had more of the ball I think we had the better chances overall. IMG_20200208_165215.jpgRidgers didn't have much to do until late in the game when Livi flashed a shot straight at him. Defensively I think we were pretty comfortable. Tremarco had a good game and Rooney started well but was less involved in the second half.
    Good away support in both numbers and voice. Fair play to them. Good to see Douglas Ross still as effective a linesman as he is a politician. :nanananana:

     

    Doofers Dad added...........

    We certainly coped with the conditions better but it was the commitment of the entire team which so impressed.  Livi were chased and harried when they got the ball, and as a result were rarely able to impose themselves on the game.  Nobody had a poor game but Welsh, Carson and Trafford were all excellent in midfield.  Also a mention to Mckay and McHattie who did a great job in central defence following the departure of the established 1st choice pairing.  We have these excellent team performances from time to time and one just wishes that this level of commitment was shown on a more regular basis. :twothumbsup:
