Taken from the Stranraer FC Forum today: "All clubs involved were asked pre matches if they would be prepared to move to a Monday for TV, ICT and Stranraer were two clubs who had said yes and hopefully we will find out today/tommorow if they want the game." I'd love for this to be the case: 1. So I'd get to see the game 2. With our players being full time, you'd imagine the recovery time between games (and comparison of travel for the teams) will have a positive factor in our favour. 3. Extra ££ for the club.

Aye easily 50+ in the 'Coo shed'

Tues 18th feb. Hibs game will now need to be shifted again. On the plus side there's a chance we may get a Sky payday if our replay is shown on tv (currently the only replay)

I think Doran needs a break, after playing pretty much every game going this season. Plenty of wingers can come in to replace him for this game.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636719 With the weather forecast suggesting this game is in serious doubt, I'm starting to investigate other game(s) to go in the area to if (when) ours gets postponed

Just read on Killie Kickback: ICTFC: Ryan Christie diverts past Brennan to double the ICT lead. 2-0

Any chance of Foran appearing today? Can someone post the team lines and match updates here please? Haven't got access to my mobile and work network blocks Twitter

4 and a half.

Just think about what it will be like next seasonwith the European fixtures taking up midweeks from July - April/May

We somehow lost 2-1! Nope not that game, that was only a season or so ago. We beat Brechin in the game I was at I'm sure. Edit: According to the ICTFC website the game I was at was in 2009, where ICT one 5-0. Seeing the team list has brought back some names from the past... Stratford, Reidford (on trial where I think this was his only game), Djebi-Zadi, Bulvitis et al.

Richie Foran shouting over to me "You know your football" after I pointed out his contribution in the early build up to a goal in a pre-season win at v. Brechin City a couple of years ago. Pretty sure I let out a girlish squeal when he shouted over! Ayr 0-7 away was incredible (as was the better than evens odds on an ICT win that day!). The comeback v. Dundee Utd last season in the 4-4 game and every single time we've beaten the Dons at Pittodrie (for selfish reasons) are personal favourites as well.

Yep. Keeping an eye on the weather daily, as I'd hate for this one to be rescheduled!

With only 9 players yesterday, I had visions of David Raven taking the winning spotkick!!

I wrote a piece for STV a while back on the merits of Foran at CB: http://m.stv.tv/sport/blog/113420-spl-previews-inverness-aim-to-rule-the-highlands-after-another-rebuild/

Considering the Dons players walked off the pitch the other week refusing to shake hands, that Hearts player deserves plaudits for his sportsmanship.

I binned him from my twitter after a pretty racist tweet he made. Seems to be a silly wee laddie that needs to be reminded of how to conduct himself online by the club

Glad to see Richie Foran is in contention for Sunday: http://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/Sport/Football/Foran-could-be-set-for-semi-final-comeback-30012014.htm

Hearts recent form does make it a bit more of a nervous occasion on Sunday, but it would also make it all the more deserving should we progress to the final. One thought that has been on my mind is the players currently one booking away from missing the final. We have quite a few at risk as shown below. Was it not the case that if we had gone through last year v. Hearts, we would've been missing 3 or 4 of our first 11 due to suspension in the final? Billy Mckay I remember would've been one. The Hearts list is a bit more confusing, as they have played an extra round of cup fixtures due to entering at an earlier round... which I've been told means Danny Wilson is ok to play on Sunday as he needed to pick up 3 bookings to be suspended, rather than 2. Will this have an impact on the 'fight' that Hearts have been showing? Will they change a winning team? Hopefully we get a few goals up then avoid making any silly tackles for the remainder of the game to keep a full choice team for the final HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN F.C.

Why Tremarco Ive been at every game and haven't seen him have a bad one yet ????? Quite simple really... Shinnie is a better LB than Tremarco and Tansey/Foran/Vincent etc are a better choice in CM than Shinnie.

I think Hughes will go with Brill Tremarco Meekings (Devine if he's injured) Warren Raven Draper Shinnie (at CM) Watkins Doran Ross Mckay I'd like to see Tremarco dropped, with Shinnie replacing him at LB... freeing up a space in CM for Tansey. I really hope we don't end up with a bench full of CMs (one or more of Foran, Polworth, Vincent, Tansey will have to sit out)

Looking forward to seeing what team we put out today... and if the likes of Foran plays. I wonder if Hearts under 20s will play today, considering their full team are due to play v. St Mirren on Wednesday night.

I was playing for Elgin City under 14s in a friendly match v Banff and Watt walked out of the changing room for them, nearly 6ft tall and with a beard. We straight away said to the ref there's no way he's 14... to which he replied "you're right... He's 12". He signed for Chelsea quite soon after that.
