Went to see Scotland play last night and was getting goosebumps at the thought of returning in 3 weeks time to see us there. For all its faults as a stadium it really has a special feel to it. Cant wait now!

No. Part of the magic of the cup is the opportunity for the less fancied teams to make it to the final. Upsets can happen on a one off game but very rarely on a 2 leg basis. The converse of this is exactly the reason why matches in Europe at the knock out stage are in two legs. It perpetuates the big teams getting to the latter stages and it's all about money. Whilst the current arrangements are not without faults, it is at least a structure that gives the underdogs a better chance of getting to the final.

Hampden's where it should be and Hampden's where its gonna be. Are people really complaining about that? I only hope that we get some decent seats not just shoved away behind the goals 50 yards from the pitch. Absolute idiocy that we're not the Saturday game though which would at least give a couple more public transport options.

I may be wrong here, I often am, but when we reached our first League Cup semi final a couple of seasons back a lot of us were saying all semi finals should be at Hampden when they announced Easter Road. I am starting to find this "They all hate us" mentality getting tedious and think we are forgetting or overlooking what a great achievement this is and instead of getting excited, some, are wallowing in self pity. The decision is made, Sunday 19th April 2015 at Hampden Park. Let's start enjoying the build up and encourage people to get there and get behind the team and let ICT do what they do best, beat the odds and shock Scottish football.

I believe Dave the Rave is training to be a plumber so he has a career after football so is already sorting himself out. He has got to be one of our most consistent performers and a two year deal is the least he deserves in my opinion.

ALL first team players who are due to be out of contract in the summer have offers from the club.
