Great to see folk so up for a trip to Hampden again (as they should be) but don't forget we've got a load of equally important games coming up in the league so let's get along to TCS or to some of the away games between now and mid April to get behind the team.

I usually vote but, today all ICT were top class and deserve full marks. So, I will not be voting tonight. Full marks to all 11, the subs, and Robbo and Kell - the celebrations were great and all the travelling awayday fans had a great day.

Wow what a depressing post We have put league leaders County and Dundee Utd out of the cup and the money we will gain is so needed you are definitely a glass half empty person incredible negativity after such a great day yeaterday were you at game btw?

Surely your wife will understand that you will have many more wedding anniversaries than Scottish Cup semi-finals?

I'll be there plus 20 odd Stoke city/Derby county fans. Since I've moved down to uttoxeter they have all taken Inverness as there Scottish team

I feel obliged to start this thread in praise of John Robertson and how he set us up today, imho, he got it spot on. As most of you know, I am not always Robbo's biggest supporter so by starting this, I'm kind of admitting my errors regarding that. I spoke with the site manager last week and basically apologised for some of my posts and reactions in the past and we came to a mutual agreement that, after a bad result, I will leave it a day or two before posting, in order to calm down. I thanked him and all the mods for being reasonable with me so, I promise them all that I will not be a pain anymore. Anyway, back to today, I say everyone involved with the club deserve credit for this cup run :ictscarf:.

I have always liked the idea of the killie trust. https://killietrust.killiefc.com/ Its been very sucessful in raising much meeded funds for the club while geting a fans representative on their board.

As everyone is entitled to their own valued opinion I ll leave the answer to the question to yourselves but I would say that but on the basis of the context of the stories and my recollection of them, I m no sure where I m sitting. The Pied Piper memorized poor unsuspecting innocent youngsters into something and somewhere they didnt know where they were going and when they got there didnt want to be. Dinna think there are alot of poor unsuspecting innocents here ! The Samaritan. The victim of a savage assault was beaten and stripped and left to die. Clearly in need of immediate help his fellow Jews, even a priest, walked by and did nothing , leaving him to die . The only one that did anything was a Samaritan. And the Samaritans and Jews hated each other, for some reason, so no I m no the Samaritan On the matter of crowd funding I m going to push forward with this cos there is still no sign of the Fairy Godmother appearing on the horizon from Far Far away Land yet and in the absence of this contingency plans have to be made. While Rome burns we cannae be fiddling. Positive steps need to be taken and we need to do them as soon as possible.

After watching the game against Dunfermline then on to beat County in the next game, this was so so similar. Robbo got it spot on. The Tuesday performance was a gear below that yesterday. He gave United something on Tuesday to take it all back yesterday. Our lads were immense. Fortress Tannadice ! Played them off the park from start to finish. It indeed is a fine day to be in Dundee ! Perfect !

I am the only one seriously considering giving it a miss. It is simply a case of "done it all before", monotonous, boring and too crowded.

Caley D What would it cost to have it framed, with glass added ,to preserve it for the future with an intent to hand it over to the club. It does appear to be a largish item but please contact me by email or phone to discuss the cost of full and proper framing as above and I will be happy to make a significant contribution to your kitty for this purpose.

Best day out I’ve ever had in Dundee? ICT and the Scottish Cup ? ?? “Dear Arabs Roond Ye Love Coll xx “

ICT v Hearts or Partick A real chance to reach our second Scottish Cup final.

Not often that I hope for a Rangers victory but an Old Firm clash would guarantee the other semi final selling out which would mean us netting the best part of quarter of a million pounds from the semis which will go some way to plugging our financial black hole.

I did 10,000 steps walking about Dundee city centre with my Caley coat on pi55ing as many Arabs off as humanly possible. A very good day to be a Jaggie !! Roll on Hampden !

Maybe not if he goes to the football ?

Hearts and Aberdeen have both relied on waking up a large sleeping support who had become disillusioned. Hearts foundation are not funding the team or youth...they are paying back Ann Budge and will ultimately have majority ownership in return. The club itself is currently running within it's means without that funding going to it. Aberdeen have the carrot of a new stadium/facilities to get people interested and involved. Motherwell and St Mirren situations are more on a parallel with ours...but both plans to move towards fan funding involve fan ownership. All if the above 4 scenarios have relied upon an element of cash up front and/or assistance from a wealthy benefactor to become a reality before any additional fan funding is/will kick in. Setting aside my own personal views (which you are aware of), I don't think there's any route towards the kind of community funding you're talking about without a move towards fan ownership...and I don't mean the half baked community ownership model that the Chairman talked about at the last AGM which seemed little more than an attempt to cap everyone elses voting right, whilst maintaining their own. Perhaps Muirfield Mills could make a gesture of goodwill, and demonstrate their involvment is not about ego and power, by passing back the 700,000+ shares they got control of for £1 (and which were previously tied up with the stadium ownership) to the club. I think that could/would prove every bit as vital to securing future investment as Tullochs gifting back the stadium itself.

Put that straight into the club's budget ?

Have to be clear with this, a west coast problem? Don't we continually not comment on the hoards of buses that leave the entirety of towns around Scotland to go watch the two vile clubs. Have we not listened to both these clubs away fans sing anti catholic and anti protestant songs at us, and often when they were playing on our turf they had a lot of "local" fans in their ranks. It is a Scottish problem, but it is almost exclusively linked to the two biggest clubs ( although you cannot exclude the capitals big two also, but to a lesser extent ) I think the only way to really tackle this is to have a line drawn, Tuesday this week, all clubs informed they lose gate receipts for the game involved, so clubs are fined in a financially fair way in affordability. repeat offenders, close the stands for home fans for the repeat offending teams next home game, away fans still allowed into the game. Then if they dont learn, dock them points, 1, 3, 5, or 10 points. It is the only way, hurt them so hard that the sensible majority turn on the senseless minority. Celtic fans are one of the most fined in European competition, where The Scottish authorities let them get away with it. Rangers fans warned to behave today by the club, yet seats ripped out and thrown at Aberdeen fans today, who were doing the same! Sectarian singing. coin throwing, bottles of Buckfast thrown at players! Both have been guilty repeatedly, so clean slate for all clubs, as from Tuesday it would be down to them, and lets rid this problem from our game. Only one thing will stop them, hurt them, and the good fans ( of which I'm sure there are some ) will win eventually, or the clubs will certainly act to rid the problem as they wont want to lose the League because of these idiots and their own fans would turn on them

Coll at the end walking towards the shed end clapping the utd fans then giving them the up ya salute was absolute class.

To McMullen, Neilson, et al...giruy

From looking at the rules they are reset prior to the Semi Final....so think he's ok.

Oooooft, I'm too busy arguing with Arabs on twitter, forgot about it. I'll get it sorted..

I think we are all missing the one true, real hero responsible for this result. Take a bow Michael Gardyne, without your unselfish schooling of one of our players in the previous round I Very much doubt that today would have turned out so well for us. Bravo Sir!!!

Thanks to Billy Dodds for speaking up for ICT and calling McMullan a cheat!

Would be downright rude not too!!!

Certainly hope we don't have to wait for the Dons/Sevco replay before knowing the date/time. Quite a few of us have flights to book. I had hoped to do that tomorrow.

Are you calling Aberdeen and Partick ugly sisters.? ?

Great opportunity! Neither side looked any great shakes tonight. Bring it on.

Have a look at the player rater on the BBC website. Doran justifiably the MOM, but United fans must have voted low for Coll...... Great he had the last laugh!!

Gutted that, as my wedding anniversary, booked weekend away in Edinburgh. Will now need to try and persuade wife that I had always planned a day out in Glasgow as well!

Five for all and all deserved.

What a belting game fancy our chances of another final hopefully against Celtic we can beat either of the others on our day! White again played well he's defo improved massively be a big player in the run in and Trafford wtaf what a killer in midfield not a player Iv ever rated but what a shift he put in! Hopefully like last season wer peaking at the right time for the play offs Walsh and McDonald to come back things are looking up at last! Wee man away to school in the Caley trackie bouncing!

I will be there but I do think that there might be some merit in having two leg semi finals, home and away, like they do in the English League Cup so that fans who can't, for whatever reason, travel can attend. I would still pool the income so that teams with smaller grounds don't lose out. Hampden could be kept for the final which would make the final even more special.

The police were all in aberdeen as i headed home up the A90 after the game yesterday I passed st least 7 police vans and the horse police lorry all heading south.

Two words to describe today Outstanding performance from whole team and also the 12th man the fans ??

That's odd. I thought I saw them there in 2015 ?

What a team performance fully deserved place in semis. Best look of the day for me was my sons face when he arrived back from the sheep pen and I told him we are in the semis you're nae

WOW just WOW What a day p.s. the roadworks on the A9 just now unreal they are everywhere p.p.s. Rig thanks for the troll inn tip. Not sure if it was meant seriously but we had a great time the only two ICT fans in amongst jam packed Arabs great place to be and would go back in a heartbeat

Mrs G is cheating ?

On his budget he has done wonders and they are now starting to pay off. Bar Ayr the teams above us have so much more in regards to resources and finance so yes all credit to robbo and the coaching staff forgetting us into the Scottish cup semi final.

Did anyone seethe coins thrown on after coll did that? Think Rooney caught one on the head.

Not a bit condescending, totally. The guy really thinks he's something special but what a total arse he really is. Maybe just sneaks ahead of Gardyne as the biggest tool in the Championship. Great performance by all and totally agree Jordan White was unplayable today.

Robbie Nielson comments in after match report a bit condescending and arrogant that they shouldn't be losing to Inverness at home.

And who did't love Robbo's jig of delight when the winner went in?!

"making the most of his skills as front man" Best description of big Jordan yet. I thought he was superb today, really growing into his role in the side

That was a Superb performance and the right result. Played the better football, created the better chances and looked a quality team throughout. Excellent

Mcmullen is a wee diving cheat

Here are two phrases that you don't often hear - "Trafford is replaced" - "Up until that Trafford was Man of the Match" - How about a Jordan White winner ?

Trafford limping off, he's put in a good shift - Austin on...
