CELTIC1CALEY3

Russell Anderson laying the ball off beautifully for Mackay's winner. A true gent. A Captain's pass. Foran yesterday was involved in all three Caley goals and got back to boot the ball off the line. That's Captain Fantastic.

Adams should fine Brittain and Vigurs for their elongated celebrations in front of the Caley fans when they went 3-2 up. He was so exhilarated that he did not see this on the day but his DVD will show these two players cost them the result on the day. Fair play to the referee that he added on time which by good fortune allowed us to charge up the other end and silence the home supporters. It reminded me of when Barry Robson scored a stunner against Kilmarnock with a minute to go and we went and celebrated while Gus MacPherson charged up the other end, crossed, and they gained a final kick equaliser. Technically Tokely could have been sent off for holding Richie's hand and directing his nose into the firing line and potentially stopping a clear goal scoring opportunity. Clear hand holding by Rossco.

One of the oldest con tricks in the book is to claim you have a flu bug affecting the squad. There should be no sympathy on that bit of psychology from anyone in Inverness. Motherwell have a very good record at the Caledonian Stadium and it is time we improved our record against them.

Our Captain and quite a few of our players are from Northern Ireland and Ireland. They will all be in Johnny Foxes on the 17th March.

It will be an honour for a chance to play the only Highland team to reach a national cup final at Hampden.....

Never underestimate the diddy teams. Celtic at home it will be.

Communities Cup draw prediction for 26/27 Semis: Celtic V Hearts - They meet in the League on 19 January St Mirren v ICT - They meet in the league on 30 January If that happens, we may have to play it in Perth I suspect.

Who was our special dancer? I thought she took the sting out of the Rangers supporters at half time. Top class.

The management team and players were fantastic last night. Even the police horses seemed to smile for us as we made a discrete journey back on the Glasgow subway. This was one of the great nights in our history. I do hope the players are rewarded on future Saturdays with more support. Last night the players and management were exceptional. The end of January is a long time to wait for a Semi but for Aberdeen and Ross County the wait is much longer.

Do we get 50% of the Ibrox gate money?

This is how to score a penalty against St Johnstone and the spirit we need at Ibrox on Wednesday. Penalty is about 6 minutes in

Cairney takes it this week for Hibernian. Compliance officer case?

The referee over reacted partly possibly because Terry does not endear himself to referees. He spends most games criticising them. That is bound to result in adverse decisions. After Aaron was booked it is fair to say Aberdeen players got off lightly. Josh crunched Hughes just before half time but not maliciously. The little winger did not endear himself because he whinges then acts out an injury and is then straight back in the action. It is quite interesting watching the Big Match from 20 or so years back - we get none of the play acting we see today. Owain did not deserve to be sent off. If we see the incident we will see a significant element of play acting. The crowd, as we all do, seek to influence the decision. The referee was caught up in this emotion.

Tricky tie. Stenny will really fancy getting to the Quarter Finals.

Can we not get some sponsorship from Paddy Power? Fantastic achievement for the club. Here's hoping Owen gets back into the Wales squad again.

We are likely to see inconsistency amongst referees every year. Last year Richie was subjected to a very dangerous over the top tackle at Hibs in the 1-1 draw yet I do not recall the player being booked. It was cringeworthy to watch the tackle. If all referees took the Bobby Madden line on Saturday we would have many more red cards for tackles. As Richie is reported as saying, Bobby Madden had a poor game by his usually high standards. The tackle possibly warranted a yellow from TV evidence. It would be interesting to see the referee's report.

Jonny Hayes Aberdeen versus Manchester United

OTJ spent a considerable time warming up on his own I suspect because he has just come back from that very difficult injury he sustained early last season. An experienced international player should not react the way he did. However, in mitigation, the tackle on him was very dangerous and some referees would have booked or sent off the offender. A good referee would have been on the spot quicker - he watches Fowler come in sideways - if they had recognised the recklessness of the tackle. 'Our' referee stood off and watched. In his defence, he was not aware of the injury and worry OTJ has endured but he should know that the tackle was worse given the height of OTJ and angle. Fowler tackled with real intent to stop OTJ going into the box. It was a disgraceful tackle that the SFA should highlight as such even retrospectively.

With regard to season tickets there could be say a 1/19th deduction after each home game so that season tickets kept their value up to say 9 games to go. Even now someone could buy a ten ticket book priced at a discount.
