Is that Jamie Docherty you're referring to?  How's he getting on? He's pals with my nephew, great wee laddie.

He's in our U20s, don't think he's anywhere near ready for the first team tbh, he has potential though. There's a few of our youngsters from around Edinburgh. I only really included him in that line up as the last few games I've posted 12 players instead of 11  and random was first to pick up on it.

Haha. Was just the first time I'd seen his name mentioned from anyone so was curious. The 12/11 joke obviously a woosh from me as I seen it on the last match day thread.

Assume we all spotted wee Naismith in yon cover?

If this was a feeble attempt at making folk waste ages trying to find someone that isn't there, I can assure you it definitely didn't work   

As you were, fund hum!

This won’t backfire

Forecast is for the rain to start around kick off which doesn’t bode well for the football purists amongst us

League game last week was streamed, not sure if Scottish Cup games fall under a different banner in terms of who can show it live. 

Hoping Williams can make the bench, just for something a bit different. Been a whole since we had a potential game changer in a squad.

Think we will stay with the same system. Goalkeeper and defence probably stays the same, rightly or wrongly. Muzz will play in midfield, and I'm thinking it'll be Spoony and Craig either side, with Kane and MacLean up front. 

Our injured/unselected eleven is starting to look as good as our actual starting eleven.

You'd think Tommy would throw in a youngster or 2. Preferably an attacking one with pace, more forgiving if any mistakes are made. Is O'Reilly fit?

Rain now expected to hold off till after the match.

Our quota of gingers is already full due to Liam Craig, I'm afraid.

If we get one goal I'll be confident of getting a result in this and at the very worst have to go to a replay, can't see St Johnstone scoring more than one goal in this.

The worry is if they shut up shop early and we can't breakthrough, won't take long for the crowd to get on the players back if that's the case.

I'm going for Hearts 2-0 St Johnstone.

[pittsburgh phil]

I had a dream that Saints scored three goals in a 3-1 win. That's right three goals in one game. Dare to dream folks! Though we had a mysterious striker who was a hybrid of Paul Wright and Ronaldo (fat).

Mannus

Foster - Shaughnessy - Anderson - Kerr - Tanser 

Willock - Davidson - Millar 

Wotherspoon 

Kane

Dreadfully uninspiring line-up from us. Not expecting a classic.

[Heart of Northern]

Not enough Red Wine Jus with the beef. 

I want a shitfest with a shitty 1-0 win

f**k flowing football crap. Can get that on the TV.
