can't see why people want Robbo back? Backwards move in my opinion and has been in managerial no mans land for ages now

Levein for me, we need an experienced manager who can steady the ship, who has been successful in the past and can hopefully retain the core of the players that Butcher will no doubt try to lure to Hibs

A loss, but not a season changing loss. As we saw from the Hibs game with Ross moving into the middle where Vincent was and Greenhalgh out wide we looked just as, if not better as a team going forward. Have faith in Polworth too if Tel selects him, the St Johnstone game was just a bad collective performance from all involved and not directly related IMO with Vincent being out. I believe Raven's absense was more noticeable as Devine was getting roasted down the flanks all game. Keep the faith.

a British flag? In Britain?!

League: 4th League Cup: Winners Scottish Cup: Semi Finals Player of the Year: Billy McKay (with 20+ goals in all comps) I just feel whilst we may have a better starting 'team' than Aberdeen and Motherwell, the squad aspect I believe isn't as strong as the other two, especially in Aberdeen's case. I hope to be proved wrong! Don't get me wrong, I'm ever the optimist with ICT but one does wonder how a bad injury to a key player (McKay, Foran, Warren, Doran IMO) would effect the side in the long term, especially Billy as we really only have Richie who can even attempt to fill in the goalscoring gap left by McKay.

Dougal I can imagine you're quite the life and soul of a party mate, you come out with such outrageous statements while making no attempt to back them up. If you're so against the club you're under no obligation to support them, simple as.

"Yes, I can confirm you are a fanny..."

sorry i'm not convinced by big Toby, if Vincent should be dropped then like what Renegade said move Ross into the middle and maybe Danny Williams given the job on the wing, looks the brightest of all the fringe players that have had game time IMO. Polworth could be a shout for Saturday as he adds an unknown problem for Hibs to deal with and has definitely looked the part in pre-season, even discounting his wonder strike against Raith. Even still, the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" definitely should be highlighted as the same side that has done as well so far did win on Tuesday, just are we getting too predictable?

after seeing Hibs on Tuesday night at Easter Road I wouldn't really mind drawing them. the defence is still rank rotten and with the pace in our side we should murder them down the flanks. Michael Nelson is by far one of the slowest centre halves i've seen, making Grant Munro look like a young Speedy Gonzalez. I'd fancy Billy to have a field day on Saturday against them and if we draw them in the quarters.

Same to you mate! I see that you have one time ICT player Tom Aldred in your ranks, thoughts on him as a player? He left us early into his loan deal after failing to settle North and thus hasn't given us a chance to see him properly asa player.

Brill Raven Warren Meekings Shinnie Doran Draper Vincent Foran Williams McKay Esson, Devine, Greenhalgh, Adgestein, Ross, Polworth, Tremarco

cannot see how anyone can be in the tiniest bit concerned? our squad has lost just 3 players in Andy Shinnie, OTJ and Reguero. Brill has looked solid and dependable in the matches so far and looks a ready made replacement for Toni, James Vincent looks like a quality buy from Tel as unlike Owain he seems to be more forward thinking in his play, and like with Brill seems to have integrated well into the squad. Admittedly I see Shinnie as a big loss, but with Doran playing in a more natural central role with more freedom to express himself and with the promising acquisitions of Williams and Watkins on the wings and Curtis Allen (who looks like he has an eye for the onion bag) I personally still see us as one of the more exciting attacking sides in Scotland. (Cue someone to bump this post come our relegation with 4 points in May).

Is there a chance of new North and South stands in the near future? Thought the current ones were only temporary and up to quality up to 10-15 years?

Usually hate a footballing cliché; but as the saying goes "if we play our normal game, we have nothing to worry about". We go into this semi after a thumping and convincing win against Pa Broons mob. If the fans show confidence in the team and support them vocally too it'll hopefully pass on the belief that they can continue their amazing form. One things for sure, I'd rather be an ICT player going into this game than a Jambo

Absolutely fandan davie, well done on the interviews

at Uni in Edinburgh and was excited about making that game, but doubt i'll be able to make it up the road now after lectures in time...
