202?

I’m retired and not sure if i‘m bored today or hyper excited ‘cause semi final is tomorrow but I’m at grocery store buying stuff to make square slice sausage, rolls, Harissa paste, harissa orange lamb chops, lamb and chorizo quesadillas, oh, and tattie scones. COYW! 🤞🤞

Same here, our system down for month end since 3.00.....it's all right, my boss is a well fan so she won't mind me on the forum 🤣🤣

Also lists St Mirren as 110 x 70. While it doesn't sound like a huge difference, if you do the sums, it means there are an extra 925 yards² to cover at Hampden compared to St Mirren's pitch (an extra 12% surface area). Yes, I am bored at work today.

Compared to where we are now, I shudder to think where would have been with Barmack's Wild Sheep efforts.

Been Really impressed with him since he took on the role

The Chairman said

McGinn and SOD were the CB pairing in the 0-0 against Saints earlier this season. McGinn was tremendous against Utd with Welsh. McGinn has to start for me - he's also captain so can't see him being dropped.

It’s going to be a big call whichever one is left out. On form you’d probably go with McGinn & Welsh, but against Saints I think we’ll need the height and physique of Gordon!

I think Welsh is a certain starter and it's between Gordon and McGinn. Would be huge call not to start captain but Gordon is bigger physical presence. Rest of team i agree totally and bring Said and Cooke on once players tire

As others have said, it’s going to be very close and just who turns up best on the day. In terms of team selection I think there there’s really only one debate if SOD’s out, and that’s which 2 from McGinn, Gordon and Welsh play at centre half. I expect to see: Ward, Koutroumbis, McGinn, Gordon & Longelo. Watt, Fadinger, Slattery, Just, Maswanhise & Stamatelopoulos. But wouldn’t be upset if Welsh was in for McGinn or Gordon. Think we might need Gordon’s height and strength in the air against a team that puts the ball in the box regularly.

That suggests that 33% of the panel don't have a clue.

Anyone going on Club 100 bus ? And if so is there a confirmed time of leaving

Not sure if this is accurate but Football Ground Guide lists Hampden as 115x75 yards and FP as 110x75 So not much in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I seem to recall he's due back after New Year.

Didnt he have some sort of relapse? I seem to recall he was back training and expected to be available soon, and then he was gone again. Think there was some talk of "a player" having to go see a specialist but it was round about the same time Nicholson got injured again and there wasnt any clarity given by the club.

Has anyone heard any update on Jordan McGhee. In July his injury suggested he'd be out for up to 8 weeks.

Both teams will be thinking they have a great chance to get to a final, and a great chance in a final against relatively under-performing OF sides. It's very likely going to be close, but I think our quality on the ball and our pace on the large playing surface should give us the edge.

Hendry was so unlucky with his shot off the line. Breezed past two Utd players as if they weren't there. Like what I'm seeing from him and still think he'll come good.

Fireworks! 🎇

To be fair, it was a very real prospect. Losing to Livvy on plastic wouldnt have been the surprise of the century. All the more pleasing we posted back to back wins and are sitting joint 4th going into our 2nd cup semi final in just over 12 months!

I know its what happens on the day that counts, and I do expect this to be a very close game. However, St Mirren have only scored 8 goals this season (2 of them last night) which is half our number. They have conceded 12. 1 less than us. Statistically, there are reasons to feel positive going into the game. It will be interesting to see what Robinson does after him saying they gave us "too much respect" in Paisley. If they press high, I think we can get a lot of joy on the counter. If they sit off, then they could be a lot more difficult to break down.

completely agree - if they get booked early on it will send a clear message. I'm really hoping with the size of pitch and quality we have we simply blow them away and keep the ball. They're very direct and very dangerous, suspect we'll need to score 3 to win this one.
