True, apart from appointing referees & linesman and dealing with all player registrations and disciplinary procedures, the SFA has nothing to do with it.

What a disappointing competition this has been for us in terms of opposition. Not one game against any of the Irish, Welsh or English sides. How refreshing would that have been? And now we get a side from that shambolic excuse for a football club. Hope we pump them but, on current form, that doesn't seem likely. We have until mid Feb to sort ourselves out.

The plus side is that tie may well produce one of our biggest crowds of the feckin season !!

In my opinion its imperative for Scottish football that ICTFC win this, much in the same way that a non-Scottish team winning this competition makes it a mockery, a colt team will do little but compound the argument that colt teams (especially the OF) should be allowed to enter the lower leagues based on being highly competitive and bringing good crowds. So far all other colts have been honking in this competition, so this should be shown as an exception rather than a demonstration of capability.

We have an English side in the semi final.

I also despise the Colt teams being in this competition. I hope we utterly pump them.

I despise Colt teams. Therefore...

Yes, I was way out with that. Draw is; ICT vs Rangers Colts Partick vs Raith.
