To be fair to Robbo, he has to juggle with a quite small squad to play 4 games in a short space of time. Last night we were outstanding for 80 minutes. Real high tempo but an injury to Welch created a need for change. Aaron had run his socks off. The sub changes then let Alloa back in the game. However, we just survived. What is evident about this season, is that we learn game by game, so I expect a more composed 90 to 95 minutes on Saturday. That game is very very important to us. Win that and it puts significant pressure on Dunfermline. Regardless of the nervous end to last night's game, let us really get behind the team Saturday. They are really playing some great football for most parts of games at present.

Putting pride back in the Highlands. Always look on the bright side of life................

You are a football supporter and therefore low on the SFA list of priority stakeholders.

........ ....as a diddy team we must overcome all forms of adversity if we are to win this cup for a second time....plus I hope we are seething tomorrow night............

The BBC picture of our first goal looks like a contender for 'Spot the Goalie out of position!'

Sense of belief without getting cocky developing. Great result today for us. Congratulations to County on walking away with the league title.

We might get a fair backing from the Hearts supporters if that happened!!

I totally agree but I was looking at the decision the SFA might take. Edinburgh for Hearts is ideal and when we played them at Easter Road the time before I seem to recall criticism from ourselves that it was unfair. So looking to redress that, the SFA might suggest Aberdeen. The ideal might be in a half empty Hampden but what we do not know are the contractual requirements and the cost which might sway the SFA.

Very much wait and see. If Hearts win then we are probably talking about a crowd of 18,000 to 20,000. If Partick win, probably about 10,000 to 12,000. Hampden may be too big for both games but there is a point of principle, player and fan day out and perhaps a contract requirement. However, if there is flexibility then a Hearts victory geographically would point to Pittodrie. However, with a sensible kick off time, Easter Road makes sense albeit it gives Hearts a crowd advantage. If it is Partick Thistle McDiarmid Park offers a 10,000 seat sell out, potentially great atmosphere, and would be pretty fair to both sets of supporters. Our focus should now be about getting a win at QOS.

Diddy teams are handled differently.

Garry Warren missed two finals because of bookings. Carl missed a third of a final. Coll could make it if we progressed.

You'll appreciate why Steven Maclean was quick to give Dundee United a penalty on Sunday!! Missing the Meekings save did not enhance his credentials although missing the foul just before the classic McMullen dive (recall that 'Dundee United manager Csaba Laszlo refused to hold back as he publicly criticised his winger Paul McMullan for being sent off for diving' and it was not for the dive at the Caledonian Stadium but another one against Brechin.) also did not but he probably felt better for it.

We have to be happy just to be in the semi finals - this is Robbos third semi with us so perhaps third time lucky!!!

Tactically we made a lot of changes against DUFC. However the team played really well in quite a high pressure game. The deciding goal came after Coll clearly fouled a player in the box. However, we should not be too disappointed. The result could galvanise us this Sunday. DUFC are clearly desperate to get back to the SPFL and will now fight out the title with Ross County. We might even do them a favour if we can dent County's challenge. Given our financial position we can but hope we edge the game on Sunday. Always look on the bright side of life.....

Don't get up Billy - the very wealthy Dundee United team will play the diddy team from up north somewhere or the millionaires from Dingwall.

He is a Canadian international so give him respect. My prediction is that Richie Foran will escape the stewards and in the last minute of extra time race on to the pitch, fool Fox, and tap the ball in. Kettlewell will be heard to say 'Even the BBC thought we had penalties lined up.'

CaleyTennis would you be interested in becoming the next Chairperson? There is little glory in running a football team unless it is fortunate enough to be successful. Unfortunately success does not come easily.

Let's be positive about this result. We brought back five key players who had been absent from quite a few games after a range of injuries. We do not know whether they were all 100% fit but they were all fighting for the City. From that point of view it was a great result against a Club able to splash the cash probably on the same scale as Dundee United. We must hope Coll's injury was not on top of the previous injury. Yes, we were a bit naive for their injury time equaliser but our season is about learning and this might be the painful moment that turns things around.

Ian has been sidelined at County for some time. This might be his escape route - cancellation of contract either by mutual consent or the result of a disciplinary hearing.

Look at how many key players were injured before the game. Rooney picked up an injury quite early on as did Polly. With Coll on the bench this was a major surprise but clearly the lack of defensive cover probably speeded up the need for his return. Carl was also on the bench and again obviously not ready for a safe return. So with Brad making a mistake for the second goal the decision at half time was not easy for Robbo. His choices were limited especially as McDonald looked quite ineffective and light. Being a football manager is not easy and currently the club is really stretched player wise.

Amazon might be interested in an investment to name it ' Campa Ùr an Amazon' home of Nessie. A Gaelic name seems very appropriate.

Caldwell could have said we have definitely come through the window a stronger side but he has sowed doubts by saying he thinks they are stronger. Clearly a slight confidence issue as a manager. We will see.

Certainly echo that. You definitely have the potential to do well and your bustling all action style should suit Hamilton. However, you have a real dog fight at the bottom of the SPFL.
