FT and Hibs win 3-2 in a real topsy-turvy match that started with Lenny fielding a weaker Hibs team - Kamberi, Maclaren, Bartley, Whittaker, Hanlon all non starters and young Martin given a start with Hyndman. Efe deemed fit to play but playing alongside young Porteous!? Anyway, the game finally won by a cracking Horgan "swerving" shot in the dying mins after the Staggies took the lead twice in what was effectively a very entertaining "end to end" cup tie and Efe dallying to give away a "howler" of a pk/Ross Co 2nd goal. A win is a win and "job done". The cup draw gives us the Dons at ER in the quarter-final. One last comment re the refereeing standard again. This time it's our "friend", Kevin Clancy! County's mid player, Draper, had been persistently fouling from the start of this game onwards. He is finally given a yellow card early in the 2nd half, then about 15 mins later cynically takes out Martin Boyle!? It's an easy 2nd yellow/red card but suddenly Clancy wishes to change the basic rules of footie by issuing a final warning to Draper!? Sorry Mr Clancy, that is not how it works, particularly for such a serial offender in this game - disgraceful judgement and utterly wrong!! Thumb down
