Lyle Lanley Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hope McGregor plays ahead of Porteous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Terrapin Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Quite relaxed about this one, ask me again on Saturday. One thing for sure is Jack will have to come up with a new plan to thwart Davidson. I'm keen on McGregor starting but think it would be a bit of a blow on the young boy's ego to leave Porteous on the bench. With all that in mind I would go for a 5-2-3. Macey McGinn,McGregor, Porteous , Hanlon, Doig Gogic Irvine Boyle Nisbet Doidge Not going to happen but would allow Hanlon or Porteous to bomb up the park at will knowing theres cover for them and Davidson wouldn't see that formation coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Shamelessly stolen from the Aberdeen thread. Looks like whoever wins on Saturday isn’t guaranteed group stage European football after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewh Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Aye an we'd still be third. I'll be honest with you. I am shitting it. The game against that kumbaya my lord, helping blind pensioners across the road, nhs fundraising, world peace enabling, puppy rescuing, public order champions was different. I knew we would beat them. I knew it. Even at 2-1 down. I knew it. I've the fear for this big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like whoever wins on Saturday isn’t guaranteed group stage European football after all. I noticed that when looking up the SFA announcement about qualifying places last week, but had just assumed something had changed since it was so widely reported we'd be in the Play-Offs. Bastion of truth wikipedia has the winners in the Play-Off, then dropping to Conference League Groups if they lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Looks like we need Chelsea to win the CL to have the winners of this in the Play-Offs, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Berts site did have the Scot Cup winner in the prime spot before but its changed. Bit of a fucker, but I suppose we will have to content ourselves with another domestic trophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I didn’t see your last post as it was lost in amongst adverts. So if Chelsea or Villarreal win then the Scottish cup winners get straight into the playoff round? And if Chelsea and Villarreal lose then the Scottish cup winners go into round 3 (round before the playoff round) seeded but a potentially really tough opponent. That right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you also need Chelsea or Villarreal to finish 5th, i.e. qualify for the EL group stage via the league. That opens up a space in the EL group stage, with the subsequent shuffle to fill it propagating down to the Scottish Cup winner moving on a round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 17 hours ago, The Real Saints said: I felt pretty confident and relaxed in the build-up to our two most recent finals. I'll be honest and say that I don't have that same feeling at the moment. I already have images in my head of Saints fans and the media proclaiming it to be a 'bittersweet ending' to a 'season which remains a fantastic one regardless'. I usually have a good sixth sense for things like this. In short, I think we can win this but I simply don't believe that we will. A double seems implausible. Terrible post, spreading a wave of negative vibes. I'm not angry, just disappointed. Bitterly disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its weird. I'm sure I'll completely change my tune on this by the weekend though. Completely correct and I'm deeply suspicious of any Hibs fan who's properly arsed about this. Excuse for an excellent party and a shiny piece of silverware if we do win (which I don't think we will) - nothing more, nothing less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
