The fact of the matter is that Hibs won through to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup in a truly astonishing finish to the game.

ICT had us under the cosh for most of the second half and missed two absolute sitters after they had scored. Despite Hibs' discomfort in dealing with the ICT aerial bombardment, Alan Stubbs didn't bring on a substitute until after the goal, and then let Mark Oxley stay on after he first had trouble with his contact lens - I'm certain he's had this trouble before, as this would explain a lot! If he had trouble with his eyesight, then Stubbs should have hauled him off right away. It's Stubbs' decision, not Oxley's! As it turned out, Oxley staying on led to him being booked and missing the semi-final.

Apart from that farce, Hibs could have scored thrice in breakaways in added time, but no, that would have been much too easy - at least Henderson was foiled by a good save, not like Cummings and Stokes. Now, I agree I might be a hard taskmaster, but we were not in the least convincing in victory and I hope Stubbs is not fooled into thinking we were. Perhaps somebody who was there will put me right, but I was going by the radio commentary. This did say that Stokes scored two good goals, but I could have scored one of them. It also said that Hibs were hanging on at the finish.

Having had all these moans, I'm still chuffed to bits about beating another Premiership team and getting to a Hampden semi-final. We've had a few extra replays in getting there, but we've stuck in and did the business when it mattered. GGTTH

+1 for using "thrice".
