At the risk of sounding like a stuck vinyl record, we desperately need an experienced and specialist right back. Shaun Rooney's injury should surely justify such a signing.

Some players seem to get crocked every year against Forres. About time we stopped playing them?

No sign of a decent right back yet? Maybe Robbo wants to play JV in that role so as he can bomb forward and score late winners like his cup final goal in 2015.

Double the pitch up as a bowling green give them half price tickets for the games might even bring down the average age of our support some of the dudes sit nxt to me dunno if they're still breathing at times waxy skin no noise old school Orion group tops scary stuff

You can't play football on a bowling green as it would cut up within the first 2 minutes. Nor can you bowl on a football pitch as the grass is too long. 

Didn't know about that. Was there no opportunity for fans to attend?

Yes, but missing it as I'm still on holiday in Canada. Will be back in time for the play-offs though.

 Bombskares the two of them, McKay and Rooney that is.

A decent right back. Not had one since Raven departed. Unless one of the youngsters can fill that gap.

Really disappointing. I thought we started poor, got worse, got a lifeline, blew it, got level, fecked up and got a **** ref. Nick Walsh, you are the worst referee ever.

Short, to the point and absolutely how I felt too. 

From memory our semis in 2003 and 2004 had low crowds. I think it was just under 8,000 v Dundee on a Sunday at 3pm then 13,500 v Dunfermline with a 3pm kick off on a Saturday. So less than 20,000 v Hearts with the game live on TV doesn't seem all that bad for creating an atmosphere. The lower gate money from this is a bit of a bummer though.

I also think that most of the Jambos would more easily get to Hampden from Edinburgh for a 12.15 ko than our fans. 1.30pm at Tannadice or Dens on the Sunday might work better but the other semi ko time would have to be moved to avoid a clash for TV.

Was it not this time last year that we started that impressive unbeaten run? Here's hoping that can be repeated to see us safely into the play offs.

Get a couple of dozen volunteers to unfurl it on the pitch in the pre-match build up at the Global Energy Stadium on Monday night. Then keep it for our next cup final appearance this May.

As said so many times this season, our lack of finishing was our undoing again. Then County did a Dick Turpin on us to steal the three points they didn't deserve. Subs should have been on earlier to give fresh legs.

I'd happily settle for a scrappy one goal win with the goal deflected in off Ross Draper's arse.

Groundhog day again at ICT. Score a good goal, from a great through ball from Polworth, then down tools for the rest of the game. If it wasn't for some great saves from Ridgers we'd have been 3-1 down by half time. 

Second half was a complete non event from an ICT point of view.....we just didn't turn up. Was only a matter of time before utd equalised and the only real surprise was that they didn't go on to get the winner. 

So another home draw it is. Had we won just a handful of all the games we've drawn at home, we'd be sitting top of the table!

For certain the squad needs freshening up in January. We need something to excite us fans because it's becoming increasingly difficult to muster enthusiasm to go and watch the same old performance, same tactics, same substitutions, and same results week in week out!

Says it all for me too. Another insufferable draw was too much to bear even if United dominated for most of the game. Thank goodness we don't have another home game until 5 January.

If it had stayed at a 7 pm ko then I would've made it down to give my support. 6 pm is just too early for me now. Why the late change?

It was a change going home happy on a very cold night.  With no disrespect to Edinburgh City that is what we should be doing to a part time team!

Yes indeed. It wasn't looking too good at 1-1 though when EC had loads of possession and we struggled to get the ball off them. 3 goals in 9 early second half minutes was the best spell in a number of games.

Bad enough being there to watch it but even more depressing having seen the "highlights". Just what was Mark Ridgers trying to do when he fluffed the ball in the box?

No idea why folk keep obsessing over whether the match is all ticket. When was the last time you attended a SC tie in the early rounds involving ICT that was all ticket?

Sorry I mentioned it!!! Thought I was being helpful but obviously not.

Tickets will it be cash at gates?

Looks like cash at the gates, as it is for all their home league games. They are also doing a hospitality package - a curry, rice, nan bread and a pint plus a seat in the stand for £30. Not clear if it's open to away fans though.  If it is it might help folk decide on a pre match drinking venue.   http://www.edinburghcityfc.com/category/club-news/

Should be plenty of on street parking a few minutes walk away but not sure I would feel leaving my car in Pilton  

It's East Pilton, which is quite a good area. I have relatives in Pilton Avenue on the North side of the ground and hope to park there. If it was West Pilton, then that's a different story.

I'd be very surprised if it isn't just pay at the gate. Hopefully we'll get info on prices soon. For the league they charge £12 (adults), £6 concessions and £2 U12s though they might increase those a wee bit for the Scottish Cup who knows.

If tickets required then I'll have a problem getting them, as from tomorrow I'm not going to be remotely near Inverness before this game to pick them up. Hopefully, there will be a ticket booth at Ainslie Park for away fans to purchase on the day. Did I also read somewhere figures of £15 for adults and £5 for concessions?    

No tickets are available to the club for this game yet. Hoping to just turn up and pay on the day?

One of our most entertaining and positive performances of the season and some still take the opportunity to snipe at the latest scapegoat. Can you not be just a little more positive ?

Yip but cif73 is right. Jordan White changed the game when he came on. He was less effective and made things easier for County. Saying that Doran and Polworth should have buried those chances. Hugely disappointed with the result.

Well, well, the change now allows me to go and I had no influence on that whatsoever.  I feel sorry for those who had already made their travel arrangements for the Saturday though. Typical for our fans to get mucked about again.
