So what's the weather like in Greenock?   Is the game sure to go ahead?

According to the commentators, the conditions are fine and the pitch is in good condition.

Hopefully their assessment is right.

Here’s to two away wins!

[Robert]

The wind is going to be an issue. Should be in our favour in the second half but an early “squeaky bum” moment with Ridgers nearly being caught by the bounce of a harmless ball that really kicked up off the pitch.

Morton have had the best of the opening exchanges.

Only one ball in use so with no fans behind one goal, there could be long delays in play. There’s already been one.

Great play by Sutherland to set Doran up but shot easily held by the goalie.

Closely followed by Sutherland header being very close from a Doran cross.

Better by us in the last five minutes.

Welsh off injured. Went down after turning when off the ball. Replaced by Walsh.

Morton 1 up. Good finish after slack play in midfield by us.

[Robert]

Pretty flat game. Morton started better then we grew into it and had a few chances. Bad goal to lose after giving away possession softly, but well played by Morton once they had the ball.

We could have been 2 down just before the break but for a great save by Ridgers.

Sutherland has been the pick for us in the first half, with Doran quite prominent but the rest very quiet.

We need a much better second half display or our cup run is over before it has even started.

That said, Saturday is more important but we all like a cup run!

Thought we had been the better team for a while, but then they scored.

No changes at half-time, please.  Just gee them up a bit, and with the wind behind, we should be able to come back.

Oh, nearly forgot... greetings from Amsterdam

You come straight home after the game 

[Jack Waddington]

Tragic first half. Sometimes playing like Prime Barça, other times playing like Prime C*unty.

Really concerned about us being the one conceding the first goal...

[Robert]

1-1.

Doran free kick. Not clear if it went straight in or got a touch. Possible og but BBC giving it to Devine. Hard to tell.

Game on!

I am, occasionally, correct

[Robert]

Much better so far this half. Walsh has forced the ‘keeper into a decent save.

Mckay has been quiet: cue a winner from him???

McAlear on for MacGregor who has been quiet since being moved into the middle.

[Robert]

Jamieson on for Mckay. Probably Mckay’s quietest game this season.

My prediction skills are not a patch on Snorbens!

Straight to penalties if there is no winning goal in the next 17 minutes.

Mckay really not getting much service imho. 

Not confident re pens. Anyone else? 

[Robert]

No and Morton looking the more likely to score at the moment. 

[Robert]

Great defending there by Devine. 

[Robert]

Penalties. I don’t think either team deserved to win. 

[caley100]

Meanwhile Cove pump QOS 3 0    ouch!

[Robert]

Devine’s penalty saved. Lost 5-4 on penalties. In fairness, it was not a bad effort but I’d have thought others would be ahead of him in the queue to take them.

Up until then, good kicks by Doran, McAlear, Allardice and Jamieson.

Just the league to focus on now after messing up three cups!

Rather have a win in the league, roll on Saturday.

[caley100]

Could tell he was going to miss as he stepped up....grrr

[Stephen Malkmus]

Seen us lift the cup already, not bothered 

[Yngwie]

Out of 2 cups on penalties on consecutive Tuesdays. Didn’t care last week but this one is poor. Two attempts to get past a poor side like Morton and we failed couldn’t win either.
