craigkillie Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yeah, they've claimed that Hampden somehow can't have fans because UEFA are "preparing it" for games almost a month later. Then made some half arsed excuse about no other ground in the country wanting to host it.The thing about Hampden is very clearly true given that last season's and this season's finals were both originally scheduled for early May for exactly this reason.There's no doubt they could have tried harder to have it elsewhere though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be a great occasion to see people I’ve not seen for months and even longer. It’ll be even better if Hibs come out on top. Did you have to call up to book? eta, just remembeed its ticket only Edited May 9, 2021 by Leith Green 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I’d rather be facing one of the ugly sisters than St Johnstone at this point. The absolute definition of a bogey team for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Wembley, which is hosting it’s first game at the Euros a day before Hampden can have fans for the FA Cup final on the same day as this game. Amazingly this thing about Uefa taking control of the stadium seems not to apply there. The total acceptance of the SFA saying this without anyone questioning it is crazy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 As they're facing Hibs in a Scottish Cup Final at this stage I'd like to congratulate St Johnstone on their Cup double and look forward to the cup being paraded through Perth on a tractor trailer ("lazy stereotype" copyright S Cosgrove) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total acceptance of the SFA saying this without anyone questioning it is crazy Wembley is a more modern stadium which is used by UEFA much more often, that is going to have to play a part in how much work UEFA need to do. If you think the SFA are lying about this, why do you think they had to schedule the Scottish Cup final for early May in each of the last two seasons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH75 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Less confident about our chances of winning this than I was about the 2016 final tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hibs have hibsed every cup final they’ve played (even the one they won) & Saints have never lost a Scottish cup final. Going ng to be a cracker! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I don’t fancy us for this at all like. Feel it’s a bit of a hiding to nothing. Win: Spend the next however many years wishing we had been able to go Lose: Hibsed it again etc, missed a chance for group stage European football. Sure it’ll be good vibes on the day but it all feels a bit flat tbh, anyhow I chucked £30 on The Saintees to win the cup after they beat Rangers so at least that’ll be something if we do lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Will someone please wrap Murray fucking Davidson up in cotton wool for this one. Please?
