Scottish Cup Final 2015 - Falkirk Vs ICT


Recommended Posts

Before HibeeJibee says it, last time we had back to back new winners of the Scottish Cup was 1938 East Fife followed by 1939 Clyde (both OF free finals) - so if Caley Thistle do it, it's been a mere 76 year wait.

Or 68 years if you regard Aberdeen's 1947 as back to back with Clyde's 1939 & discount the "Emergency Cup" of 1940.

Last time we had back to back Old Firm free finals? 1986 when Aberdeen beat Hearts and 1987 when St Mirren beat Dundee United - a "mere" 28 years ago.

Well done to both teams. Always nice to have a cup final without the Old Firm!

As a serious question, would Falkirk and ICT fans rather see this game played in front of 20,000 at a full Easter Road, or have their day out in Hampden even if it was only 30,000 there?

Two teams, with a genuine hope of winning. You'll probably find this will sell out. We took 22,000 to the 97 final v Killie. It's a chance for a never to be forgotten day out for both towns.

It will definitely be Celtic. Hughes is a shitebag, defeatist, backwards thinking c**t coward when it comes to Celtic and Sevco. Just listen to his interviews. It's like he thinks it's their duty to lose. The reverence he holds Celtic (and Sevco) in is sickening.

Your spot on with regards to his love in with Celtic. He claims he's a Hibee but really he is a Celtic man

We played them in the CIS cup years ago and were beaten 8-1. Yogi after the game "Celtic were a joy to watch". Embarrassing stuff

Get it right round yous

Ooft !!

Welcome to the party ICT and get it right roon ye Celtic :P

Obviously we have a better chance against Inverness than we would have had against Celtic but then again the defeat to Kilmarnock was tougher to take than the defeat to Rangers for that very reason :unsure:

Third time lucky !!??

That's now the following teams that have beaten us in the Quarter-finals and went on to reach the Final. Since 1987:

St Mirren - 1987

Airdrie - 1995

Falkirk - 1997

St Johnstone - 2014

Inverness - 2015

Basically, if we make the QFs and you beat us, you're as good as in the Final.

The obsession with folk on Twitter about the potential attendance is unbelievable. Miserable bitter b*****ds

This is great for Scottish football. More teams in contention for winning trophies is a good thing no matter what size of club there is.

The cups have been epic the past few years.

I hope there's 30,000 empty seats at the final just to fucking get it up the SFA and media who will be absolutely seething ICT and Falkirk are in the final.
