Diddy Cup or not, whats your view

[Dmacca]

The game on Sunday may be a distraction from the more important issue of the league, but how damaging would it be to lose again to County?

Apart from the pride would it be no big deal?

[Joe DiMaggio]

Well it's not the Scottish Cup but its still a cup. A defeat to County would hammer our confidence whereas I think I win could maybe kick start our season, espc at home and we would have a final to look forward to.

Its a diddy cup if you get knocked out early, however when its a semi final things become a wee bit more serious.

We start hearing the usual stuff ' kick start the season' if things are'nt going well and 'nice to get to a national final and silverware' if things are going well.

Heard on the radio today Butch and Adams both claiming the other is favorite for the tie, only thing i care about is have our players realised its very serious and more that a cup semi, pride is at stake for us.

[kencar]

It is a diddy cup and only the fact we are playing County on Sunday gives the game any sort of meaning.

I really hope we do win but sadly I can't see it

Hopefully all who attend are treated to a good game but personally I can't be bothered going

It is a diddy cup

Was it a Diddy Cup at MacDiarmid Park in 2003?

[Kingsmills]

It's far less important than the league, the Scottish Cup or even the CIS Cup but a win against County would be a confidence booster and a place in the final, especially against Dundee, would be a very welcome boost to the coffers.

Yes

[Harry Chibber]

Diddy cup, would be great to have more silverware in the cabinet but if we are concerned about any cup run this season it should be for the Scottish (Homecoming or whatever it's called) Cup and that alone. This would be a nothing game if it wasn't for our opponent

I am far more concerned about the game the weekend after

As far as beating C*unty, I'd take a loss this weekend if we can record 3 wins against them in the league

[gordyfromsneck]

Beating County is an absolute necessity. Winning the cup would be a fantastic morale boost, which is what we need more than anything just now.

[Ronaldo]

For success on Sunday, can I suggest TB looses it in the dressing room before the game rather than half, or full time!

[Heilandee]

Yes it's a diddy cup,but for most it's the best chance of a national final, so bring it on i say.Hope to see some of you on the train to Perth on the 22nd or in the boozers for a wee pre match swally.

While Perth would be the obvious venue for a Dundee v ICT/County final, would it not have to be played at an SFL ground ?

[Yngwie]

Change in policy. Confirmed as Perth, common sense prevails for once.

[Kingsmills]

There might just be hope for Scottisdh football after all.

There are a few guys on P&B complaining that money generated from this Cup should stay in the SFL. Apparently, this will be the first time in the competion's 18-year history that the final has been played in an SPL ground. I take the point, but given that there will definitely be a Highland team in the final, Perth does seem to be most neutral venue.

[Sonam]

It's a diddy cup, Queen of the South match is FAR more important!!! Much rather we lose against County and beat Queens than win the diddy cup and lose against Queens...

It is a diddy cup

Was it a Diddy Cup at MacDiarmid Park in 2003?

Yes of course it was . Diddy cup for the diddy teams .

[Guest]

It is a Cup contested by all the Teams in the prestigious Scottish Football League which excludes sides from the National disgrace known as the SPL.

Of course it's not a diddy Cup, it's a fantastic tournament.

(Unless we lose tomorrow)

Yes of course it was . Diddy cup for the diddy teams .

Don't think Bobby Mann would have agreed with that as he held the trophy above his head on 26th October 2003.

Incidently, we beat County in the QF back then.

will the game be on

[Alex MacLeod]

will the game be on

Why won't it be?

Weather tomorrow for Inverness is light rain and winds of 20 mph. That wont stop the game being played.

[buckett]

It's a diddy cup if we get knocked out.

Otherwise it's not.

I don't really think it is. Mainly because any bit of silverware is a good bit of silverware. A win today against County and a win in the final would certainly boost the team's long term confidence and set us up nicely for the rest of the season and hopefully promotion?

Either way I would say it was far less important than the three other national comps. but still relatively important for the club.
