Now hoping to hear that Doncaster has resigned and Celtic are upset to the extent that they put out a reserve team in protest. Their reserve team might do better than the current Celtic 1st team.

I P Knightley Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 9 minutes ago, JamboGraham said: Once the whistle goes I don’t believe the venue will make any real difference to what happens on the park. However, this is all about marginal gains. Celtic will have a very set routine for Hampden, where they stay, how they travel, when they travel, where they get changed, for some players they probably have “their seat” in the Hampden dressing room. All of this changes, the players minds can’t switch off and go through the motions of another match at Hampden. It will be a different experience...it’s not a huge advantage to us but these small changes, these small extra thoughts all add up... Correct. It's not so much about us having an advantage. We have one although it's slight in terms of us having a few thousand more supporters than we might have had at Hampden. It's more about them not having the advantage they would have enjoyed at Hampden, what with their own end and all the little things you mention. Off a plane on Friday morning and onto a coach on Saturday afternoon - not an enormous hardship but, hopefully, a bit of an irritation to add to their overall loss of entitlement.

I grant you that MF is physically close to Tynecastle, but Hampden isn’t very far from Celtic Park either. In fact, Celtic played the whole 1994-95 season at Hampden whilst Celtic Park was being rebuilt. At the end of that season, they contested (and won) the Scottish Cup final.

Try harder, troll. Been thinking this... How come this contract from 18 years ago for games expected to be over 20k (or according to Mondays sport sound - involving rangers, celtic, hearts, hibs and ayr vs Kilmarnock) wasn't an issue when the semi with hibs was purposed being at murrayfield. I think it is because the contract is a load of shite and probably costs nothing to buy out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 27 minutes ago, Ministry of Football said: After all our whining, let's make sure we take a fantastic crowd to this Murrayfield semi. We are easily capable of 25k, plus. Whining ? FFS We were perfectly correct to ask for a rethink of the timings of the matches for safety reasons. Hearts were always happy enough to play at Hampden just not at stupid 'o'clock when half the support wouldn't be able to go. I think we will have a similar Hearts support to the European matches there. Celtic don't exactly turn out in big numbers for cup games might find we actually outnumber them now that the boot is on the other foot.
