I've supported Sons since 1960 and in that time I've seen us play in six 'serious' Cup Semi-Finals; Saturday however will be the first time that I will be able to attend a 'big' Final in which my team are participants, wave my flag, ogle the cheerleaders, shout myself hoarse and generally have a slightly out of body experience. Inverness are now a middle-order Scottish club with some very notable achievements; our historically natural constituency though is with Alloa, Albion Rovers and Cowden so I encourage every young Sons fan to not only be there on Saturday, but to drag your family and mates with you, as these occasions are for us very, very rare indeed. Everyone - enjoy ! Agree with everything in you post here OK3. I think the difference with Inverness is that they are genuinely worried about there current league position and have been spoiled by cup success in recent years so view this in a completely different light to us who have had to wait 121 years.

CaleyStan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 1 hour ago, The Moonster said: I'm actually glad it's being played now before the run-in. Our manager is massive on momentum and confidence - winning the cup final this weekend would make that 3 wins a row and could very well get us going on the run that keeps us up, or at the very least give the entire squad the belief that they can catch ICT in the league. This is the narrative that slowly dawned on me at the weekend. It's absolutely harrowing to see it written down, especially next to your creepy avatar.

Perhaps I'll print off 2,000 Levon Helm masks for this weekend and have all of you harrowing in your pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Celtic were League cup in 1970 which went to a replay. Hearts was the Scottish cup in 1976 which also went to a replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have won the second Hearts game if Walter Smith had not scored an o.g. Was it not Hugh McLean or Jim Cook that missed the sitter in the first game? We might have won the Celtic replay if the linesman and ref hadn't missed the ball going out of play from Celtic's corner that they scored from in extra time!

It was indeed Jim Cook, and the save was made by Jim Cruikshank who went on to become a Sons non-legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the answer has already been given, in 1970 Sons beat Thistle in the quarter final of the league cup and in 1976 beat Thistle after a replay in I think the 4th round of the Scottish.

jamamafegan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I’m nursing a semi here at the thought of a sea of black and gold across half of McDiarmid Park. Will there be a pay at the gate on the day? I can imagine a good few Perth folks would rock up on the day if so. If there is a PATG I will sound the klaxon across Facebook.

PB1994 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If somehow the 3 stands currently on sale do sell out, I presume the East stand will become available? Just wondering as it was never mentioned when the ticket info was released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
