St Johnstone v Partick Thistle

Fairly uninspiring draw but a tie both sides will feel capable of winning. 

Hopefully the clubs agree a decent pricing structure for the game.

I hear the 208 is shut so Supporters bus will need an alternative venue for the prematch pints.

Only three previous meetings in the cup last in 2011, where Saints won 2-0 in the fifth round. I have no recollection of that game whatsoever. All time Cup record shows one win for Thistle in 1964 and two for Saints, the other a third round 1-0 win in 1998. The home team won all the ties to nil.

Not a great draw and a hard one as well.  Though I wouldn't be surprised if saints fans think the same 

We have an outstanding home record v Thistle in the last two seasons.

Last season we dominated them at Firhill too.

Easy tie for us.

We couldn't get Yinited, so it was the closest possible alternative :rolleyes:

This.  Remember checking scores at half-time and seeing United getting pumped, then thinking "at least we're not getting put out at Tannadice now".  This will now take its place.  We very well could go through, which means we're going to put in a listless performance and probably go out.  As long as someone tells Archie it's a league game, we stand some chance at least.

This will be a struggle imo.

But the winner of this will lift the Scottish Cup ultimately.

Another bloody Saintees win then? :unsure:

More confident than I was about this, due to today (despite the scoreline). We generally get a reaction after a pumping, and the nature of it should create a "siege" mentality that will see our leaders firing everyone up. We even managed to rest three/four starters for this today.

Hopefully we'll be in the North End of the main stand. Was a decent atmosphere and utter scenes when El Capitan shinnied in that late winner earlier in the season. Not sure how many we'll take through though after the knicker wetting over Saintees tactics in our recent defeat?

208 shut so our bus is heading for a Railwayman's Social club around there. What can we expect in terms of facilities?

On the game itself St Johnstone will be fired up for this one and hopefully our team will want to make amends for our poor second half performance. 

Please go back to the 3-5-2 Archie and we might have a chance of getting through to the next round or a replay.

Thistle fans are behind the goal this week. The section in the West Stand only holds about 1,000 ([mention=54832]perthsaint1977[/mention] can confirm?) and there must be a decent chance Thistle will bring more than that?

Yeah definitely in the north stand this weekend. Estimated crowd from thistle they said 700 to 800. The section in main stand give or take 900 plus only three turnstiles so makes sense to house them behind the goal with 4 turnstiles
