Caley Mad In Berks

I think the dates will depend hugely on the result of the Aberdeen Rangers replay. If Rangers win, I think their game will be on Sunday to minimise potential trouble. If Aberdeen win, then either of the ties could be on Sunday but have a sneaking suspicion, our game would be on the Sunday. Personally, I would prefer not to play at Hampden as it's a dump and the game will not sell out as will be live on TV. Much better to play at a smaller ground which is sold out.

Certainly hope we don't have to wait for the Dons/Sevco replay before knowing the date/time.  Quite a few of us have flights to book. I had hoped to do that tomorrow.

Following a telepathic communication with Master Simpson and permission from the Seer Overlords here is the Semi Final Draw:

Cellic v Sevco

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Plastic Whistle

Please don't place any bets as we could get into a bit of bother.

I'm sure you are correct great one. How brilliant that will be. Come on Plastic Whistle tomorrow!

White 5

Doran 3

Chalmers 1

But really, I would have given the whole team 5 if allowed.

Well done CD, it certainly looks as if Coll will be ok based on these rules.

I see there is no 'Man of the match' thread yet.   For once, it will be a difficult decision to leave anyone out of the top 3.  They were all heroes, and no one had a poor game.  But my 3 for MOM would be White, Doran and Chal;mers in that order.

Thanks to Billy Dodds for speaking up for ICT and calling McMullan a cheat! 

Yes, unlike Stephen Thompson with his biased comments at the end. 

Still buzzing!  If we can play with that commitment for the rest of the season we can beat anybody.  Play offs should hold no fears for us now.  Well done to all the team.  They played  today as if they really wanted it more than Utd.  Roll on Hampden, and the rest of the season.

Justice done in the end.  Firstly it was never a penalty for Utd.  Nor was Austin offside for his 'goal'.  We thoroughly deserved that win. Better side throughout.  Hampden here we come. AGAIN!

Wow, how good was that?  Same again second half please.

So Caley Tennis will now be in favour of extending Robbo's contract beyond 2021 then? 

Yes, he might give him until 8.30

Nathan Austin put away the fifth.

Thanks KM.  Looking forward to the match highlights now!

Still basking this morning in that warm feeling of Scottish Cup success.  btw, who scored our 5th penalty? (as I said on another post,  my internet went down at the crucial moment).  Great performance by all 5 penalty takers in what must have been a hugely pressurised situation. Not forgetting, of course, Mark Ridgers contribution in saving one.

Well done again to all concerned.

What a fantastic ending.  My internet connection went down just as Draper was running up to take his penalty.  I'm still fuming that I didn't hear the ending live.

But, what joy.  Wonder what AS and the other White 'bashers, are thinking now?

Well done to all the team.  Our season may just kick on now.

Get in there!

Just curious.  Why isn't this, ever growing, thread in the "For sale/swap/Auction" section, rather than the mainstream "Caley/Thistle" section?  It seems like the perfect spot for it, otherwise, why have that section at all?

Really enjoyed that and, but for their keeper, we would have won it by a goal or two.   Mind you, Ridgers had a good game too, but MOM without a doubt was Tremarco.

I was actually at Oxford Utd v Sunderland last Saturday.  I have a pal who is a Sunderland fan and Oxford is as close as they get these days to where we live in Berks. There is often a lot of talk down here about how poor Scottish football is, but tonight's game was far superior to Saturday's in every aspect.  OK it was only EL1 but Sunderland are not that long out of the English Premiership!  So well done to both sides tonight for trying to play football, and certainly giving both sets of fans some excitement.

Pity we couldn't hold on for a deserved win, but all to play for in the replay next week, and Dundee Utd   in next round must give us a good chance of advancement.

Onwards and upwards!

Not going to be able to see it since it's on BBC2 Scotland and I can't get that down here

Can't help thinking County are probably favourites...But if Ridgers, Donaldson and Tremarco are fit to play, then we should be steady at the back....McCauley worthy of a start? probably depends on the midfield TBH

Pretty sure you can get it.  Have sent you a PM

Good article, and great to watch the highlights again. One of my favourite ever games.
