23 years later and ICT are still surprising us with cup results, well done boys absolutely brilliant result, keep them coming

Well what a difference a week makes. I simply could not be bothered making any comment about the Morton debacle and then mesmerised after Dodds clearly underwent a lobotomy in mid week. It appears to have convinced him that Dorian is a bit player and more effective as a sub, Shaw has to start and he picked the best 11 available- but not only that but the tactics were spot on. A vey effective mix between a switchable 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 - with Shaw playing a blinder swooping between both. Then everybody pressed the ball but we maintained a high defensive line.And EVERY player gave 110%. Add in the best away support in a long time and it was a return to 2015. We looked like the SPL outfit. Shure we had our moments but Livi rarely looked like scoring - in fact their shooting reminded me of Jimmy Bullard on Soccer AM. I can even dispense with a Smileymometer as the least that I would score any individual was 4/5. I would give a 5 to Rodger’s, Carson and Shaw and a rare award of 5+ to Billy McKay and Allardice. Despite his two brilliantly taken goals I would give Allardice the MOM as he never stopped running and got right up the noses of the more delicate Livi midfield. And when you look at the final 8 then we need to avoid the Jam Tarts and the Old Filth and Hampden be the most unlikely outcome ever. I would also prefer an away game,preferably in Ayrshire - not for personal reasons of course - what about a Darvel v ICT quarter final !!

Well, goodness knows where that came from. I'll hold my hands up and say I expected us to get gubbed in that tie. (As reflected in my NPL prediction) A tie that we shouldn't, perhaps, have been in. Such are the rules though and we took the opportunity and smashed it. Knowing ICT's cup pedigree in dishing out shocks I (we) should have known better (there's a song there..) A tremendous result and a much needed confidence boost to all. I take we still get prize money for reached the this stage by default? Anyway, prize money secured for the 1/4 final, again, much needed. Onwards and upwards ICT.

I think this was an even bigger surprise than the one 23 years ago!

I'm not usually one for predictions, but I have this feeling that we are going to get a home draw against Celtic. If it comes to pass that I'm correct, I will definitely do the lottery on Saturday, something I haven't done for 20 years, and if it is a significant sum of money, I will buy the club and restore us to our former glory!

I guess he’ll have to live off Jobbyseeker’s Allowance for a while.

A much needed wee lift in the spirits all round. The magic of ICT's relationship with the Scottish Cup

Hopefully our team sheet was triple checked for eligibility!

Yeah can’t complain with that. Scored one that reminded me of the Gazza flick against Scotland albeit not as good, but that one’s gotta be his best strike.

Billy only 7 goals off equaling the top scorer record along side Dennis Wyness

The 2 goals from Billy today were brilliant, got great plaudits from sportscene pundits.

Just woke up after dreaming we beat Livingston 3-0 to reach the last 8 of the Scottish Cup! Such a good dream. Back to reality now so I better go and check the results

Livi haven’t reached the Scottish cup QFs in the last 18 years. ICT have made it that far in 6 of the last 10 seasons.

Probably a less likely result than Darvel beating Aberdeen 1-0!

What a day out!!! Hats off to Dodds on that formation/tactics but the players were immense to a man. I also realised why I love our club despite all the dramas

Pick these out...

What time does the Scottish Cup sixth round draw start at? The sixth round draw to decide the quarter finalists will take place on Monday - February 13. It will begin at 5.30pm - meaning Darvel and Falkirk, who play later that evening, will both be involved. If Falkirk beat Darvel what chance we draw Falkirk to revive memories of our 30th May 2015 win? Falkirk would be well and truly up for revenge.

A good day all round then Sandy Sounds like it was a very solid performance I'm not sure how many times we've had Welsh AND Allardice in the same team this season, add in D Mackay and Henderson across that line and we look strong. Couldn't believe my eyes to see Deas on the bench, I imagine it'll be few games before he starts, but that would be our strongest backline back together. Just need some forwards back to help Billy Mac [I'm assume allowing Oakley to leave to find some form at Morton is linked to the prognosis on long-term injury victims returning] A definite morale booster, and technically we are unbeaten in 2023, can we build on this? Be nice to continue past the next round of the Cup. League wise it's Interesting that we are the same number of points off a relegation play-off spot as we are the top spot, are we looking down or up?

We need to agree an extension to Mckay’s contract now!! He’s been immense since the turn of the year.

Let's do this lads !

Really hope we can hang on. What a boost to our season this could be! Come on lads!

1-0. Billy Mckay!! Can we hold on?
