It will be brought forward. Every game must start together in the last round of fixtures. Only other option would be playing it 3/4 days after the semi.

Hoping Rangers sneak through as I'd much rather play them in the final. Celtic are on a different level.

This will hit 12/13k tops I think

Tynecastle would be tremendous but The SFA fully own Hampden now so will play as many games there as possible. I like Hampden and the buzz of seeing us score there is always tremendous. This crowd is just going to look silly though.

What set him apart last night from other games was some of his touches and turns under pressure. Some of them were classy as f**k for such a big guy. You'd think he'd been playing there for years. The change when Gary Oliver came on was night and day from Wright. Oliver is just intelligent as f**k. Not had somebody like him since Bairdy. Morrison looked much more natural on the right as opposed to the left. Kennedy links up much better with McCann and causes full backs nightmare. Their interchanging movement is lovely to watch.

Absolutely buzzing after last night. Since we are the "bigger" team we will most likely get the North Stand as well so that will be a nice change. Unless they split it. I can see us taking 8-10k which is probably a good 3-4k more than we'd take if it was one of the other 2.

That's good for a Monday. Crowd should be somewhere near 6000/6500 by kick off.

Ochilview always has standing water issues. Especially in the corner on the stand side near the 5 a side cages. Been some amount of rain falling though.

I watched them a few weeks back against QP at Ochilview and they were awful. It all depends what team turns up I suppose. I'm hoping the weather plays a part. I have no numbers to back it up but I think we tend to do a lot better when conditions are terrible at home. Especially on that pitch, the ball will move faster and passing will be slicker if we keep it on the deck. If there is an early goal then it could be a cup classic.

It is but for some reason I just don't have a buzz for it yet. Maybe because its a Monday or possibly the disappointment of last week is still lingering. Hopefully come 5pm that all changes.

Fair enough, very strange how they have done it then. Would be ridiculous for people not get tickets if demand was there.

You'd imagine you'll get more tickets in the North stand. It can be split in half so that would leave just under 1000 extra tickets if you got half the stand. Just means your crowd are split quite a bit. Hamilton won't shift more than 2000.

Inverness and Dundee are further. Inverness has a shallower gradient so is a worse view.

Not all physicality is in the air. Mackie let himself down on Tuesday (as they all did). Akinyemi likes the ball at his feet and I think that would suit Mackie better than McKay.

I think we need Mackie to deal with the physicality of Akinyemi. We need to get right in his face from the off.

I cringe when I see the "ultras" in Scotland. So glad we don't have anything like this. Wee kids in balaclavas with their choreographed pish.

Maguire more than Akinyemi I think. Just be very physical with them early on and don't give them space. Just hope we don't repeat Tuesday again. Part almost hopes the crowd isn't that great as we bottle it anytime more than 5K turn up.

Slender 20 year old playmaker gets pushed off ball when caught out vs experienced defender not defending. Big difference there. Donaldson may do well against the diddies in this league but has been found out against Airdrie and Dunfermline when it mattered. It's not digs when the proof is there to back it up. It's literally pointing out failures!

The set piece was a result of Donaldson backing off and letting their winger get a ridiculously easy attempt at goal.

Bottled it when it matters. Donaldson for the first and Morrison for the 2nd. Fucking amatuer stuff. Never even looked like troubling them. The cup is now the focus until May.

I'm calling you a Fife c**t. At least I'm talking facts.

I'm totally chilled/pished. Pressure is all on those c***s.

Absolutely no nerves from me. I've had the attitude for weeks that we are almost out of it and that tomorrow is more or less a free hit. If we get the first goal then Dunfermline will start to feel the pressure and will need to come at us. If we lose tomorrow then we go into the play-offs as favourites in my eyes and have a cup quarter-final next week to get excited about. Still a exciting end to the season in my eyes compared to the last 3 or 4 years dross.

Supposedly feeling unwell and that is why he came off. Hopefully something he got over quick because he'd be a big miss in there.

Hopefully they don't set up like at TFS. At home they will be more open and if we got at them like the last game at EEP I think we will get plenty joy. I don't see us passing up the same chances we did then.
