We tend to like being underdogs but this is taking the piss. Virtually no chance we’ll win this now I’d imagine. 

All set up for John Robertson to start and score a hat trick against Hibs 👀

Even if it’s your under 18’s I wouldny be too confident. Bogey team be bogey teaming.

If players are rushed back a bit early having not trained etc you’d think momentum would give them enough to see it through.

Still fully expect to see a fairly full strength Saints team.

St Johnstone stuck out the reserves against us a week or so ago and still won. It’ll be a full strength side, lack of training or not they are well drilled and it’s a fucking guarantee that we’ll struggle to score.

I don't think anyone has any idea what our squad will look like, as there's still a chance more players could be forced to isolate in the next week, and there's still a chance those who tested positive are unable to play as they haven't recovered physically in time.

We could end up with Zlamal in goal.

Rumours that two from Clark, Gordon, McCann and MOH have tested positive, and two are having to isolate now.
All be back for the Final, but won't have trained since early last week by then, so would you start them?
Parish, Davidson, Craig and May havent trained for over a week now I think, Craig missing the Hibs game due to it, and presumably they won't be training either until the club gets the training ground open again.
So thats 8 players who'll go 2/3 weeks without training at all before the Final. With the rest of the squad seemingly only likely to have a handful of socially distanced sessions in that time.
If the most recent 4 aren't fit to start, nor the other outfield players, plus the injured Tanser, aren't fit to start, you're looking at this sort of line up for us in a Scottish Cup Final...

Parish

Brown - Rooney - Kerr - McCart - Booth

Gilmour - Bryson - Wotherspoon

Kane - Melamed



Why can’t they train next week?

They've had to live and work in Perthshire on a daily basis for the past few years, let's not pretend they haven't been suffering.

That's the case for the original four, but not necessarily the case for the newest batch of Covid positives.

Mock Perth all you like but Pertshire is glorious. Take that back immediately.

This is actually true and a good take IMO.

Perth is very Central Belt. Perthshire really isn't.
