Stephen Malkmus Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Our pedigree in this competition will see us past Queen's Park comfortably. It was very pleasing to witness us hoisting the trophy in this mob's home stadium a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiders4ever Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I take it that we will be using our B team to give ICT a slight chance of progressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Thomas on the wing will be a threat, he was a handful for Delaney on Sat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not about 30 years ago that Caley and Thistle agreed to merge so that you could join the Scottish League? Quite aspirational and ambitious at the time. And indeed ICT did well, pushing through the leagues and having a good number of seasons in the top tier, top six from memory at that. Scottish Cup winners as you say which entitled you to play in the Europa Cup. And all done by big strapping highland laddies, five cans of sardines and and two Mother's Pride loaves. Aye right!

I feared for Delaney on Saturday, twice he got caught out badly early in the game, got booked, threw the ball away and was verging on a card scarlet in colour. Credit to him though, he imposed himself and although the second half turned into something akin to a basketball game, he limited the damage in his area of influence. Even with a midfield that was again compromised on Saturday, high flying, slick passing Queens Park didn't dominate us so I'm rather optimistic that another enjoyable and perhaps successful afternoon is in prospect.

I think ‘agreed’ is maybe pushing it a bit (if you ask the Thistle fans), but whatever, they merged. Merged from Caley into, em, Caley essentially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 We weren't quite as crisp on Saturday and a few passes went astray, not something that you see often. I'm expecting us to be a step up from where we were. After all, this cup's got our name on it. Ten times. I'd also expect ICT to play deep again; well, it was fairly successful. It'll come down to whether we can get the space to get the shots in, and whether they're on target. The big keeper's handling didn't look 100%. I'm going for him to spill one and Savoury or Murray to be there to send the QP masses wild. Â 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas moved to midfield in the latter stages of the first half otherwise Delaney would have seen a red. I couldn't understand why Coyle made the change as Thomas was clearly making the moves for Murray and Savoury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 If the grass under the snow isn't frozen, we'll get the away fans to give the pub a miss and bring their brushes and shovels to clear the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
