allystrachan Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If we were playing any team but hibs I’d boycott it but I don’t want to give they weasels any additional benefit to reach a final. As said previously the best was to get it up everyone is to just go & win the semi & the final. Imagine their rage at us chanting **** the SFA as we parade the cup.

CJGJ Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-face-fixture-chaos-scottish-22386529 Celtic could be faced with a run of festive fixture chaos if the SFA rubber-stamp plans to complete last season’s Scottish Cup before the end of the year. Record Sport understands the governing body has drawn up provisional dates to squeeze the two outstanding semi finals as well as the traditional end of season showpiece into an already packed December schedule. And that could leave the defending champions having to cram as many as ten games - including two potential European ties - into a punishing four week stretch ahead of a January 2 Old Firm showdown at Ibrox. It’s expected the SFA will confirm the plan to play last season’s Covid-19 interrupted competition to a finish at Tuesday's AGM - with Neil Lennon’s side facing a last four showdown against Aberdeen and Edinburgh rivals Hearts and Hibs up against each other for a place in the final.

We sell the c20k tickets allocated, cheer as we pump Hibs, then scoop our quarter share of the dough and the subsequent half share in the final. We get a quarter share for the semi, regardless, so sell our allocation and it becomes a quarter of a larger amount. Increase your FOH sub slightly, if you can and it feels right, and Hearts still benefit financially. That's my plan. Certainly don't want our lads walking out for that semi without backing. It's a fantastic opportunity to make it a Hampden treble against they feckers. Who'd want to miss that or harm our chances of winning because the players haven't got us lads and lassies backing them to the hilt?

adam1998 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 The whole thing is a farce to allow the Unwashed the Treble They’ve just changed the rules to allow cup tied players to play for their new clubs, so two of the same cup competitions are played this season and all the rules are out the window when it suits them.
