Far more questions than answers. While it is appreciated that maintaining full time football outside of the top tier is a very difficult task the current regime do not inspire confidence in either their integrity, openness or competence. Sadly, nobody there are no queues waiting in the wings anxious and able to replace them. Worrying times.

League business still has to be the priority. It may seem less glamorous than a Hampden semi final and certainly less glamorous than a Hampden final but reaching the final might ease or postpone our financial crisis for three or four months but promotion through the play offs could eliminate it altogether for years to come.

Which is still plenty of time. The main thing is that we know the venue, date and time. Getting as many tickets as anyone wants will not be an issue.

and a fair bit more even if we don't.

We have plenty to complain about but this is not an issue at all. There is plenty of time and there will be far more than enough tickets for all ICT fans who want to go.

Add TV and sponsorship money and it should be slightly north of £200,000. Double that if we reach the final as either Celtic or Aberdeen will ensure that Hampden is much fuller than it was for the 2015 final.

Will 4G not give us quicker download speeds ?

While it would have commercial advantages and possibly avoid postponement, I believe that profesdional football should be played on grass so it's a no from me. Hopefully, we reach the cup final and manage to free up a little cash for Tommy to do some remedial work in the Summer.

To be fair, the SFA, have no influence over the cost of travel and food. The semi final is sensibly priced and, for those not able to travel for whatever reason, it is live on free to air TV. I suggest a little less whinging and much more revelling in the fact that we are, against all expectations, in another semi final with half a chance of progressing further against a Hearts side that are not in anything like the form in which they began the season.

Interesting to note that while there were numerous postponement of SPFL matches across all divisions, six out of seven scheduled Highland League fixtures went ahead this afternoon. I suspect that was more due to the players being a hardier breed than the pitches being bowling greens.

Pleased to see that Dunfermline don't have the chance to put any further distance between us.

Which is pretty reasonable for a semi final especially bearing in mind that, right now, the club needs every penny.

Earlier in the week I bet my eldest son that we wouldn't get beaten this evening. I think that technically I should be in a position to collect.

Can we not, for once, give credit for a sensible decision made in good time thus minimising inconvenience and expense for everyone ? We have often been critical, often rightly so, of little consideration being given to fans. Here we have a decision that does give us consideration and still some folk carp and complain.

The postponement is a huge blow to Callum Semple who had a substantial wager on us winning 1-0 courtesy of a County own goal ?

We had already played a game fewer than Dunfermline and with another weekend fixture rescheduled for the semi final playing catch up with such a small squad could seriously impact on our play off hopes.

Given the timely financial lifeline a final appearance would throw us, I would probably settle for that.

So, it's Hearts. Pay back time for that League Cup drubbing earlier in the season What's the betting that the powers that be once more consider Easter Road to be a fair neutral venue probably with a twelve noon kick off.

On the other hand, we can focus, at least for now, on the fact that we are in the semi finals of the premier knock out competition and have a very real chance of participating in the promotion play offs.

We have always had a decent relationship with QOS and their fans and a comment on another forum by a QOS fan will not change that. If you have a grudge then, thankfully, I suspect that you will be on your own.

Which is why I made reference to 'those of us not present'.

If the allegation is true it is a disgrace. However, since the person apparently accused denies it, it is impossible for those of us not present to judge where the truth is. Pity however, that it has come to dominate a thread that should be celebrating a fine away win and our continuing good form.

In the end it was Dunfermline who scuppered our play off hopes. Only fair that we return the compliment this season.

Absolutely. Every game now, league and cup, is vital. Time for those who have stayed away this season to come back and join in the effort to push us over the line.

Just as well you put me right ?
