Yngwie

I was in hospitality (first time I’ve ever experienced that for an ICT game). Even from the very back of the upper George Fox stand, you could hear the splashes when players were running up the wing. You should’ve seen the reaction of the guy next to me, a neutral, when Tremarco hit the side netting in the last minute - 2-2 would’ve won him over £800. Ouch.

Indeed. But after all this, I can’t help feeling that there’s an increased chance that he’ll end up missing the final due to injury!

Do we need a 3 person panel to consider use of the word “grave”? Or can we just get this thread back on track please.

According to a Radio Scotland, Aitken acknowledges his error.

There is a lengthy statement, but basically one of the panel members has admitted to not having carried out their duties by reaching a conclusion after reviewing the evidence presented. The member has stood down from being considered in future.

BREAKING NEWS ***SFA are convening a new panel to review the appeal! ***

The SFA’s Ian Maxwell will be asked about this incident on Sportsound this afternoon. I don’t imagine he’ll be saying anything specific about it though. Apparently on Tuesday the reasoning behind the decision will become available. Edit- they’ve just updated to say it won’t happening - no doubt the SFA are too busy trying to work up a vaguely plausible justification for the decision. Good luck with that. Richard Gordon believes the panel was an ex-ref and 2 non-football people, with the vote going 1-2.

Phew, well done ICT!

If we are to get one of the Glasgow sides, I'd opt for BSC.

Yet another quarter final for us. What is it about ICT and the Scottish Cup?!

:Worth adding that after losing our central defence pairing, we managed a clean sheet against a Premier league side. Well done ICT. Edit to add: so no bombscares! ?

Great result! It didn't need to be pretty, a scrappy win is just as good.

Indeed. We’ve replaced the beating heart of the defence with the dodgy knee of the treatment table, and a youngster recalled from Elgin. A truly awful window, that condemns us to another year in this league and further cuts next season.

Yes I hope they are frantically working on the hat/rabbit thing.

Tyrone Smith reporting there was “fresh interest today in a couple of ICT’s players”.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if throwing in a few words of Gaelic entitles us to funding from the Scottish Government!

But they have as much right as anyone to not be able to hear the announcements. ?

[Checks calendar - nope, 2 months and a day too early]

When does the supporters bus leave, Saturday?

Yes he did, but money talks. Ideally he’d have plenty of notice to secure replacements, but players can be replaced in a matter of hours if necessary.

Why do 4 of our players have their middle names included on the team sheet?

Pleased to see Saints stating that he will arrive in the summer. I would imagine that they enquired about buying him now and our board were able to say no. Hopefully that’s the end of it.

Hope he doesn’t ruin the green, green grass....

Reported in The Sun (and possibly others) that he has signed a PCA with St J. Their defence has been pretty poor this season, so an offer this month would seem very likely. Amongst the gloom, had a wee laugh at the Sun article’s headline referring to the “Ex-Celtic ace”. One appearance!

It also clearly states in the press release that ICT25 will be launched next week, which would seem to be the appropriate time to provide details of the scheme.
