The sheep will be entitled to all the Roseburn Stand but I just don't see them filling it for a midweek higher priced TV game particularly if thier form is poor. Would be nice boost to home advantage to have Jambo section(s) in the Roseburn stand if we can. Don't think they are entitled to anything in terms of tickets only Scottish cup holds the 20% rule They will however be offered as many as they want With games being Tuesday Wednesday Thursday you would expect 2/3 of the 4 being on TV so currently we are in a decent position being the best tie behind the ugly sisters for TV but we have been on before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as drawing Partick and then Caley in the semis opposed to their Aberdeen. Not shooting you down, I was very unsurprised when I saw that draw but on the odd occasion it is other teams who get the rub of the green You called it “on the odd occasion” - have a look at the easy home draws Celtic have had over the years.

Indeed , although it may well be fair now over the years the number of times that draw would have come out with Rangers away at a lesser team , celtic at home to the lowest ranked team and Hibs , Aberdeen , Hearts and a n other being drawn together would be staggering.

Naismith - hamstring is it? Usually out at least 6 weeks and therefore will be likely lacking match sharpness. He does make a huge difference to you guys though. Wheelan - Is he injured or just lacking pre-season. Souttar - when’s he expected back? Rolled ankle shouldn’t be too long. Haring - Good player for you, but surely will be struggling with match fitness if back around that time. Meshino - who is he? Looks like he’s played less than 30 games in Japan and media reports are he’s being sent up here to work on his physical strength.

Say it as many times as you want, many football fans would disagree. This no excuses nonsense is just ridiculous as well, there are two teams on the pitch. Gets peddled out a lot on here.

Share of the points from the rest we'd be 75- 80 points easily, that's where I want us to be. I think it is possible soon as well, but Aberdeen is never a gimme, although the fixture favours the home side and I am confident.

We all want that, but it's very difficult to achieve it. This " I do not accept" and "anything less is failure" talk is just ranting, ala Donald Trump. It has very little substance behind it. Aberdeen have been above us for the past 8/9 years, we have no divine right to be above them. I think we can be, and actually think we will be 3rd this season but this talk of "average league", and stuff like "I do not accept" is just wind, piss and farts . Aberdeen will think they can be third as well and they will think they can put us out the cup, just Like I would think the same. The dismissing of the opposition on here is fundamental to folk getting frustrated and over excited when we do drop points, it's also alarming and looking at our league positions and trophy count it has no foundation or merit. Being older, you should really have a better grip on reality while wanting and hoping for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how daft you look demanding 3rd place as a minimum, when we’ve finished above 3rd only once in the last 30 years? That included a period when Romanov pumped over £50m into the squad.

Victorian Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 To be fair to those demanding certain finishing positions, the league looks a bit more clear cut this year in terms of a top 4 finish. With our squad (assuming we get better luck with injuries) we have little excuse for finishing lower than 4th. 3rd is possible. Celtic and Rangers are in a league of their own I'm afraid. Should a squad like ours finish lower than 4th? Can't make any case out for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
