Team did okay but what a wonderful performance from the floodlights. Kept going strong and stuck to their task for the full 120 minutes.

One interesting thing about last night's result is that it is the first time this season that we have conceded the first goal but managed to avoid defeat. Had it not been for Ciftci's stupid red card I suspect that pattern may well have continued, but we'll never know. First goal has previously seemed to very much determine what happens in our games this season : in all 7 of our previous wins, we scored first, whilst in all 3 of our defeats we conceded first. I know scoring first obviously gives you a greater chance of winning the game, but there seems to be an unusual lack of comebacks in our games these days. I was struggling to remember when we previously won a game after conceding first, and (assuming I haven't overlooked any) I had to go back surprisingly far, 22 months, to the cup replay at Dunfermline, where again we drew the 90 mins and needed extra time. The last one within 90 minutes was a full 2 years ago, the remarkable 6-3 at Killie. This is all a bit surprising, as most of us would traditionally associate ICT with a never say die attitude and famous comebacks.

Hope we get Hearts again. A chance to avenge last season and also the weakest opposition left in the tournament. On the other hand, it would be interesting to see what venue would e selected if Aberdeen and Hearts were drawn together. Surely, for the sake of consistency, it would have to be Easter Road.

I see on closer inspection as well, 'Arabsteed' and this Brad fellow weren't even at the game!

Ah the working of the SFA, lets give the biggest and most financially powerful club in Scotland the ultimate advantage of a final at home given they have the best chance of making it there. I for one hope that the Scottish cup is another OF disaster and we get a 'diddy team' final just to make the SFA look even more rediculous.

With the crowds of both of last years Semi Finals not enough to fill Hampden once, Ibrox is a rediculous place to have Semi's, even before the obvious nonsense should Sevco get to Semi Final. It will only be half full just like Hampden. Get them to smaller stadiums so its full with great atmosphere. SFA should wait until they know who is in the Semi's and final before deciding where to play games.

When are the semi's played?

I really like Tynecastle, so that would be my first choice. Easter Road would be ok too. Ideally, I'd like to see us facing Morton at Tynecastle or Hearts at Easter Road. I really hope we don't have to play Motherwell, Aberdeen or St Johnstone in the semi.

Wherever it is, whoever it is, we'll have to travel further than the opposition. Just bring it on, and let's not **** up the opportunity this time!

Both clubs should appeal jointly citing the FIFA rules and argueing that associations should be following world rules.
