I suppose it is a little bit different in that there is simply less novelty factor than there used to be, with us having had numerous semi-finals before, and all of us have seen us go on to win the damn thing. In a pretty short space of time we’ve been spoiled by an amount cup success that most clubs can only dream of. We’ve got to remember though that this might be the last time in our lifetimes that we will get this far in the cup, so best to appreciate and make the most of it!

Don’t think so, he was 14 that season and was with Thistle.

It’s good that 40 years later, they were able to reunite the vast majority of that team. The only first team regular I can recall who isn’t there is Robbie Baxter, one of my favourite players of that era.

Yes we know from his time with us that when he is on form he is a very dangerous player, and he has struck great form in recent weeks. Would be nice if by some miracle there was a clause in his contract barring him from playing against us!

After discussions between the clubs, Rossvale have backed down and are now opting for Caledonian Locomotives.

I’m hoping both sides are fielding ineligible players.

Harsh!

That’s us on 54 points now, with our hopes still very much in the balance - yet in each of the last 5 seasons that tally would have been enough to secure 4th place.

Unlikely. 😀

These roadworks will also impact our trip(s) to Hampden, and the start of next season too. Contra flow and 40mph for a few miles both directions, from Inveralmond roundabout towards Luncarty and Bankfoot. The current A9 dual carriageway there is being dug up and rebuilt next to the current one so it can join up with a new link road. Sometimes you breeze through, sometimes there are long queues, especially when heading south.

Doran, with 366 appearances, has drawn level with Richard Hastings in 3rd place in our all time appearances list. 3 more will put him into 2nd, overtaking Grant Munro.

And what an exciting league - 3 games to go and 9 of the 10 teams still have something to play for.

What a rollercoaster of an afternoon. With 25 mins to go, our campaign looked pretty much over, but now we are right back in it for the playoffs.

FT 2-0. Job done. Well done ICT.

Yeah they need something unique and original. Given how bold they have shown themselves to be, how about “Caledonian Braves”?

The club should be encouraging all shareholders to opt for email communications - it saves the club postage, paper, ink and someone’s time assembling it all, and gets you the communication more promptly.

Watching the highlights, it looks like his shot was struck cleanly enough but took a deflection off the defender.

As well as this merger video, Friday’s View from the Terrace also had a feature on Dyce Boys Club which mentioned and showed pictures of youngsters who went on to be successful. Most of the ones mentioned later went on to ICT - Ross Tokely, GraemeShinnie, Andrew Shinnie, Stuart Armstrong, and Stuart Duff too.

It’s a pity today’s other results all went the wrong way as far as we are concerned, but this was another really good win for us. Well done ICT.

You’ve also got to expect to pay a premium to see superstars like Coll Donaldson in the flesh.

Did I hear correctly that tickets for our semi v Falkirk are more expensive than tickets for Scotland v Spain tonight?!

Interesting that as many as 76% of fans want rid of Dodds even if he goes on to get us promoted, wins the Scottish Cup, gets us European football, wins Scotland’s manager of the year award and secures the club’s financial future for years to come. I didn’t realise he was that unpopular!

According to Dodds in his post match interview, the ref said the red card was for Welsh raking his studs down the player’s Achilles. Should’ve gone to Specsavers!

What is it with ICT this season? We win when I expect us to lose, and lose when I expect us to win.

Ridgers made some great saves, particularly the fingertip one in the first half. The defence did a great job too. Our football wasn’t very pretty but that’s a great 3 points.
