No Vincent tonight and Storey on bench. Only 6 subs, one being Fraser Russell. No Machado which presumably confirms he is gone or going. 

Come on Caley Thistle, give us a great cup night.

Little featurette about that night 20 years ago on the BBC.

[cif73]

Is Vincent injured? Not even on bench.

[Alan Simpson]

Massive game the night gonna be tough specially after seeing White and Traff both starting that's never a good thing like driving your car with the handbreak on but still wer a cup team can defo beat hibs

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Not sure if 4-3-3 is brave or stupid ?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Trafford gets an early yellow and that puts the pressure on. Another look at the penalty shout and we may well have escaped there.

[+Robert]

I doubt we can sustain 4 3 3 all game as Hibs will take advantage at some point.

Two early bookings is a worry. If we win, Carson suspended. 

[+Robert]

Will we have 11 by the end? Tremarco will miss semi if we win tonight. 

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Carson gets a yellow 2 and our pressing pair are really under pressure - and Carson out of semi.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Soft penalty - seen them given and otherwise. RIDGERS 

[+Robert]

Wow, well done Ridgers. Penalty and follow up!

[CaleyCanary]

Mark Ridgers - awesome - what a hero!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Has to be the Alamo as another before half time would kill it.

[Alan Simpson]

The wall with a pen save what a legend sounds like hibs well on top tho not good

[+Robert]

We’ve done well on the whole. Maybe a let off with the early penalty claim but a great save from the soft penalty. 

Only a great save stopped Walsh scoring before we conceded. 

We are still in this. The start to the second half will be key. 

[Jack Waddington]

Where's Mutombo when you need him?

Won't need him until near the end of the second half, mind you...

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Wish that I was more confident. We have three players on a red, all with pressing jobs to do. I cant see us ending with 11. Hope that he goes for Storey and McGregor early in the second. Doran and White are ineffective. I really hope that I am wrong but we may be on the wrong end of a second half drubbing.

[MorayJaggie]

Why do we persist with white upfront 

[MorayJaggie]

TREMARCO is immense

[MorayJaggie]

Exact same foul on tremarco but no penalty that hibs got their penalty.

[CaleyCanary]

Looks like Robbo agreed with you, Storey on but I thought he'd hook Doran - we're not out of this yet...

[MorayJaggie]

Ref seems to be trying his best to make sure we are.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

We need to learn how to commit niggly 50-50 fouls.

[+Robert]

3-1is a harsh score line. Yes, Hibs are a quality team but we have acquitted ourselves well in my opinion. 

Mckay red card now too.
