Why should the Scottish Cup winners get this.. Third place in the league should have this as a reward. Scottish cup winners can still get a Europe place. Unfortunately, countries cannot change that ... it is UEFA's decision. Link to comment

Hibs could win the cup having beaten QotS, Stranraer, Motherwell, Dundee Utd & one of the Saints. I’d say that’s easier than finishing 3rd over 38 games Link to comment
Henry Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I see the SFA are claiming the huns, tims and SRU have all rejected the chance to host the cup final. What a joke. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Winning a trophy should always trump coming third in the league. As should any rewards for doing so Yes it's possible to win it (occasionally) by avoiding the arse cheeks. That's just good luck. We blew that chance on Sunday by giving an insipid performance 1 Link to comment

I’d say that’s easier than finishing 3rd over 38 games Then why do Hibs have 1 Scottish Cup in about 120 years and Aberdeen have 0 in the last 30 years? Both finished top 3 a fair share of times. Same with Motherwell. Definitely harder to win the Scottish Cup! No shame in that route either. We have recent history of losing to all those teams apart from Stranraer. Conceding 3 or 4 goals in the process! Link to comment

Great result for yous at the weekend with an away win against braga!, a thought yous were trying to fling the league away there in the last couple of weeks drawing against shite,Porto disallowed goal in the 93 min for offside would have helped.1 more hard away trip to benfica and 4 bottom club sides to go.your nearly there Link to comment

Yes, we are very close ... getting closer to end a 19-year nightmare. The next two games are decisive ... If Sporting win, we have everything to be Portuguese champions, especially since Porto will play in the next week against Benfica. I am very sorry that Aberdeen did not make it to the cup final. It would be an extraordinary day for me ... In the same weekend Sporting Portuguese champion and Aberdeen to win the cup in Scotland. Regards 1 3 Link to comment

UEFA will have taken control of the stadium at that stage, but have given the SFA dispensation to hold the final there with no fans. Why they couldn't hold a 'test event' I'm not sure. And why the petty shitmunchers at Ibrox and Parkhead couldn't host it, I'm also not sure. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I also dont understand why ibrox, celtic park or murrayfield are the only options to host the cup final if theres only going to be about 4000 fans. why not use tynecastle? Link to comment

They asked us. We said no. Fans will think cos of feelings to SFA. In reality as it's not available due to scheduled stadium improvements. Albeit just painting trusses at Gorgie Road end. Thankfully. Or Budge would have said yes. And risked a Hibs SC win at Tynie. Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 That defeat on Sunday, the manner of it, the fact we’ve missed out on as good a chance as we could wish for to win the Scottish Cup, is really fucking annoying, even 48 hours on. Missing out on not only the Cup, but between £3m-£5m Piss poor. As an aside, and more for the “summer 2021” thread I heard today that we should be announcing a signing by the end of the week, one that should please people. Maybe crap, but thought it was worth sharing. Link to comment
