Will this be on? Anyone going? I see Welsh is out injured (again). I wonder if Robbo will stick with his three man midfield. Ridgers Rooney Toshney McHattie Tremarco Carson Vincent Trafford Doran Storey Walsh

In this P & J article I see that Aitken stands by his decision that Keatings dived. That's absolutely mind boggling https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/inverness-caledonian-thistle/2034495/scottish-football-is-waiting-on-james-keatings-explanation-caley-thistle-boss-john-robertson/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Doubt he is TBH.

The majority of news stories now seem to be based on a few tweets. Not belittling the petition but the other day the P & J ran a story online about ICT fans fuming about the Scottish Cup Q/F kick off time and the article was just a couple of embedded tweets. Anything for clicks these days. ETA: 1.1 million views of the clip on the ICT Twitter feed now. Certainly get a load of exposure and making the SFA look like utter arses

Lots of players, journalists etc all in support as well. Doesn't help Keatings sadly but if there is any consolation then it's that pretty much everyone knows the SFA are wrong.

Incredible to see the number of high profile (ex) players, pundits etc coming out to criticise this decision. The SFA have made themselves to be a total laughing stock with this decision but, as others have said, this has clearly been done to stick two fingers up at Robbo after what he said post match.

Aitken has already had a number of yellow cards he has dished out for diving overturned. I can't help but feel that Robbo's comments got the backs up of the panel / referee and they've doubled down on their decision. not that I blame Robbo. Aitken is a shockingly bad referee.

Somewhat ironic that these clowns want to introduce VAR to Scottish football and yet, we now have a decision that VAR would easily have overturned, being upheld by those in charge. Mental.

I've not seen it confirmed anywhere but one of The Terrace lads is saying that our appeal against the second yellow shown to Keatings has been dismissed. ETA: The S*n are now reporting it.

Wouldn't be the first time Aitken has had yellow cards dished out for "diving" rescinded on appeal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47324331 https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/in-full/alfredo-morelos-wins-appeal-against-yellow-card-for-simulation-1-4722892

Aitken should be dragged in to offer a personal apology to Keatings for that rotten decision.

Was it? If so I stand corrected!

You can't be offside direct from a goal kick. Walsh's strike should have stood.

Yeah it's a maximum of 2 players over the age of 21.

Latest episode online now... https://thewynessshuffle.podbean.com/e/coupling-up/

Hibs have announced prices for their fans. Suspect we're looking at £20 - £22 for this based on what home fans will be charged.

Permier Sports will take both games involving the Old Firm teams surely?

Based on: Hibs and Hearts play on the following Tuesday so they won't (shouldn't?) play on Sunday ICT play on the following Tuesday so won't (shouldn't?) get a Sunday KO The police won't want Hibs and Hearts playing at home on the same day especially when one game involves Rangers Hibs v ICT on Friday will be less problematic for the police than Hearts v Rangers Rangers are playing on the Wednesday before the Q/F weekend so a Friday kick off wouldn't be good for them So that will likely mean: Hibs v ICT (Friday) Hearts v Rangers (Saturday lunch)) Motherwell / Saint Mirren v Aberdeen / Kilmarnock (Saturday evening / Sunday afternoon) Saint Johnstone v Celtic (Sunday lunch)

Suspect it's going to be Friday night which is a shame as we probably won't take as many down if it was a Saturday night. They need to get their skates on and clarify things given it's 2 weeks before the first Quarter Final is due to be played.

We're hoping to get another episode recorded this week. We'd love to get some questions from listeners to chat about so if you have anything you would want to ask the pod feel free to leave them here or pop them on Twitter. https://twitter.com/theictpodcast Cheers!

I had to Google this game as I don't remember it at all. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_cups/7926815.stm Seems Mallo pulled off a number of good saves in this game just like he would do a few months later...

Didn't you just nick them off Twitter? ?

Hibs will be favourites and should progress but Ross hasn't exactly been a roaring success. 3 wins in 11 games isn't that impressive.

Home tie. You love to see it ?
