I heard from a guy well connected at Hearts that at the start of the season he was offered to us - unsure if it was a loan or permanent move for cash - but we knocked it back. I’m 100% sure this is true and 90% sure it was a permanent move. Maybe someone else has heard similar.

As far as I’m led to believe so would he love to be back at fir park. He’s done ok for the 35mins he’s been on but he’s been the picture of misery since he left Motherwell. he’s on a fortune down there right enough so I doubt we’ll see him back in Scotland any time soon until he’s out of contract.

Deleted. Misread!

I would love to see him back at fir park but couldn't afford him

My favourite quote was when Iain Ferguson was talking about the Dundee Utd jinx of always losing in the final. "I don't believe in jinxes, but I hope it continues".

I have a mate who's a Jambo (I know, you should choose better mates, and it's not MJC by the way), who reckons Spittal is finished now at Hearts. Too many players ahead of him, but he's contracted to the end of next season.

David Turnbull on as a sub for Cardiff at Wrexham tonight, Carabao cup.

Main's in trouble there's Steve Kirk!!!, the supersub has done it again! 🤪😝

St Johnstone were a bit lucky when they won the double, but made the most of the weirdness of that entire season.

I hope we find our scoring touch for this one. I think we will fair better against teams who play open football amd so we might create a good few chances but we will need to convert as Utd might score a couple as well. could be a high scoring game. I like the sound of 4-3 for us !

Aye only when Celtic hand you the trophy...LOL .. no team has had the luck Aberdeen had to win the Cup , from the draw to Celtics self destruct in the final.

To be fair, there are complaints about paper based ticketing too (price of postage, lost in mail, having to collect from office, copies and fraud etc.) The biggest challenge is almost always the transition period between the old and the new technologies. That takes some expertise and additional support resources - neither of which appear to be in abundance at the SFA.

Ah, you may be right. I had it in my head that Biereth was recalled outside a window, but he wasn't.

Callum Slattery says

The gaffer said

Gordon was poor at livingston so there's every chance mcginn might come in,we really need to start getting a settled backline playing together whatever happens.

Hmmm tricky one. I would definitely start Gordon on Saturday so maybe best giving him and Welsh another run out together. Johnny K or SOD another tough call. Keep Slattery on bench for this one but possible start on Saturday for maybe Said?

This is my concern as I bought 10!!, will get them transferred and have my 2 mates come in with me. Stressful though, going to be nervous enough at the game

Do we start McGinn or Gordon? Might depend on what Utd attacking players are like? I don’t really know much about them. Kotroumbous or O’Donnell ? does Slattery start? If so, who drops out? we had some below normal Performances at Livi but I’m hoping it was the surface amd that our players are back to firing on all cylinders.

Sadly, if it makes things cheaper for the commercial entity involved, then all that other good stuff you've mentioned often just goes out the window.

Totally agree. If anything it’s making a stressful environment even more stressful. I’m just concerned we’ll get to Saturday and the 5 tickets I’ve bought for folk without smartphones will hopefully be on my phone for me to scan them in. If it was just me then I’d deal with it but I’m responsible for 4 others getting into the game.

Technological change and inovation is only effective when it improves the user experience, makes life easier, better,more convenient etc. I'm not convinced this ticket process meets any of those criteria for every supporter.

Not sure how much difference PPV makes to a crowd on a Wednesday night given how many fans are season ticket holders these days. Most overseas fans already have this included our MFC TV subscription, so not much benefit there, but I imagine a few Utd fans who can't travel will take advantage. I suppose the thought behind it is that it will be a net gain to the revenue, but it's unclear under what circumstances we can even offer PPV to UK based fans when other games are being played at the same time.

Thanks for that update. I've been trying to understand a technical reason why a ticket bought through a club isn't immediately visible in the Hampden app. Guessing data not transferred in real time from one t'other. 6 decades ago anaw we could put a man on the moon

Last week goal was given by ref & lino, that is to say tackle was not deemed to be a foul. Their boy just bounced up to be fair didn't roll about dying swan routine. Just's header there given by ref & lino, VAR said hang on I'm not having that on my watch.
