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.

Is Vincent injured? Not even on bench.

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

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

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

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. 

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

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

Soft penalty - seen them given and otherwise. RIDGERS 

Wow, well done Ridgers. Penalty and follow up!

Mark Ridgers - awesome - what a hero!

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

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

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. 

Where's Mutombo when you need him?

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

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.

Why do we persist with white upfront 

TREMARCO is immense

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

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

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

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

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.
