ICT game midweek

***Spike Mandela*** · 09-03-2014 11:27 AM

Can we build on decent second half versus Motherwell? Hopefully Yogi might be resting players for LC final next Sunday but, if not, surely we can take advantage of the fact ICT players will have one eye on their big day out.

**Pretty Boy** · 09-03-2014 11:30 AM

I'm staking a claim to start the matchday thread again. A spirited draw is surely worth another go so I'll do my bit.

***Heisenberg*** · 09-03-2014 11:31 AM

I think we'll win.

**truehibernian** · 09-03-2014 11:32 AM

What's in our favour is JH will definitely want to rest key players for the cup final - I predict a win.

Following the ridiculous decision to ask Inverness to play the League Cup Semi at Easter Road with a 12.15 KO - Inverness are entitled to feel aggrieved that no-one in authority is doing them any favours now that they are being asked to play today and a game on Wednesday before a national cup final next weekend

**~~cleanyman~~** · 09-03-2014 11:59 AM

Dean Brill is good

***AFKA5814_Hibs*** · 09-03-2014 11:59 AM

I hope ICT defend like that on Wednesday we might have a chance.

Correct. Total joke.

ICT getting humped 3-0 by Utd in first half of Scottish cup game today. Maybe their mind is alredy on next week.

It seems totally unfair .are they playing the following midweek as if not then that at least wouldn't of given Aberdeen the Advantage of fresh legs.Yogi should play second string in protest and if we profit from that then so be it You wonder if the powers that be really have all the clubs best interests at heart when making these decisions.

Tansey straight red card. Suspended for Wednesday night.

I'm not sure.

It's not violent conduct so he might miss Inverness' next game in the Scottish Cup.

I'm sure a red card means you miss the next game regardless of competition. 2 yellows are different.

You're probably right there actually.

I actually think a straight red card was a bit harsh and it's possible Inverness might appeal it.

If they do, there's a chance the appeal won't be heard before Wednesday night so he might be able to play against us.

**ekhibee** · 09-03-2014 01:20 PM

The commentator at the ICT v DU cup tie said that Tansey will miss the midweek game.

***Aldo*** · 09-03-2014 01:44 PM

I wonder if the likes of Mackay will be rested midweek with the Final next weekend??

Undoubtedly.

I would be shocked if any of their main players, such as McKay, Shinnie, Foran and Doran played on Wednesday.

Watched most of the game today and have to say I really liked the look of Shinnie.

***neil7908*** · 09-03-2014 03:23 PM

Inverness missing 2 players on Wednesday through suspension, coming off a drubbing today and with a cup final coming up next - we really need to be looking to win this game.

Hope we start with the same team that ended the game minus Handling for Cairney and give it a go.

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 09-03-2014 03:31 PM

Wouldn't be surprised if they had their ****test team out and still won:faf but in all seriousness, if they defend like that against us, I predict a hattrick for the Heff

***Hermit Crab*** · 09-03-2014 03:42 PM

Hibs 23/10 on Wednesday on 365

hughes would be crazy to put a full team out,they will need a bit of rest before the final.
surely we can pick up the three points

Have to disagree about dropping Cairney Having watched handling against Killie and Cairney yesterday against Motherwell ,Cairney offers more going forward Three assists yesterday and he wasn't on top of his game .

I think you're nothing making the same point here. He's saying the 11 that finished the match but with Cairney on instead of Handling.

ICT have a few first choice players suspended for the final (sent off or booked in the semi) so they're likely to play on Wednesday night.

Gary Warren's the only one suspended for the final.

Josh Meekings (the other one sent off in the semi) got his red card downgraded to a yellow after a successful appeal.

You won't be backing us of course, as you think we will take nil points from four away games.....
