TheScarf Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Elgin aren't very good at all tbh. Surprised they're as high up the league as they are. I was expecting a tighter game as this was their biggest game in half a decade since they played Sevco in the league.* *Just the response required to the standard 'If Caley are Premiership then they're fucked' stuff I'm seeing from Elgin fans. Who of course are showing zero sense of objectively of the fact that cup games can be closer than league positions suggest. The ground looked pretty good though, as it was almost full and I managed to get a free pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt look good because yous done your homework so knew how to work us plus yous held possesion better we hardly put a tackle in or went in physical which is annoying at times.

Dunno how old you are but I've seen Dalglish, Law etc so I already know we're going down the tubes. Especially since the greed fest (EPL) started in 1992. As The Scarf says, this is what happens in cup ties. We get to beat you and you get to moan about us being shit. We've been there remember, caused at least 11 cup shocks while we were in the lower leagues. Lucky you never faced the ICT team of 2 years ago. Turn it the other way round: Elgin were right up for this. ICT were weakened by injury. They lost 2 more before the kickoff, important players from the spine of the team. They had won 3 games all season in the league. They had lost the last 4 and hadn't won since October. Your team is looking at the playoffs, full of confidence and scoring goals by the barrowload. And yet the "slick and silky City goal machine" you promised us won 2 corners, got a gift of a start and never managed a shot on target from open play.

Thom & Gerry Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 You won comfortably no denying that but you were never out of sight. I could say you are full time, had the luxury of going on your hols for a week, while we are part time, have only trained about 3 times since the week before XMAS due to lack of facilities and could only manage 5 players at Training on Tuesday due to injuries and work commitments. So taking that into account I would say 2 1 and hanging on slightly at the end isn't a great reflection of where you are at the moment. I'm not anti Caley and have friends who played with you in your formative years, just telling it the way I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I thought we played far better in the cup game in 2011 than on Saturday to be fair - although not an embarrassment by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There was no hanging on from an ICT perspective. It was the most comfortable 1 goal margin victory I think I've ever seen from us. We were never under any kind of pressure at any point of the match, even before the freak goal Elgin scored. It was a matter of time before we equalised then went on to take the lead. We really should've ran out 4-1 or 5-1 winners it was that one sided in the second half. This isn't a bad winner type response from me, I'm calling the game as I saw it, regardless of who the opposition was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elginite Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I doubt we would of scored anymore anyway we didnt test that much at all And as for that trouble it looks like a bunch of teeny boppers makes it embarrasing for both clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much that. They've watched Green Street and thought that looks like fun and now try and 'cause it' most weekends. Can't really remember much of the game. I was pretty smashed tatties but felt we were pretty flat. ICT Chris sums it up well as usual. Cole was our best player by a mile and the rest of them looked pretty out of sorts but perhaps that could be put down to the formation. Anyway, they will need to really improve with two massive games against Partick and Dundee coming up in the league. Play like we did on Saturday and I can't see us taking much from those games.
