If Dons beat Hibs by a couple of goals then Rangers beat dons 2-1 and Celtic scud their wee cousins by 4 or 5 that would do That’s true, in true Hibs style, hopefully they lose 3rd place in the 90th minute of the last game due to a Porteous OG.

leginten Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Watched the last 20 minutes of Hibs - St Johnstone. The latter are very impressive. Speed, athleticism, no little skill, physicality, organisation and, above all, intensity. They were under pressure but at no time looked like conceding, and in fact came close to adding to their lead a couple of minutes from time. Good to see them putting down another marker, just in case both teams face each other in the Cup final. It was also a fairly sobering reminder of just how much we have to improve in all of the above departments if we’re to have a hope of challenging the better teams next season.

I'm not sure I despise Killie any more than I do Dunfermline to muster any enthusiasm for wanting the former go down - both clubs don't mean very much to me. As you say though, that would be a heck of a fall from grace for Killie if they did make the drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But always curious to see what the attraction is, could you use a lower league Scottish cup to bring in overseas talent into British football and then sell on to England, like a back door way to get in. Probably good location to try and sign young players and sell on yeah. Do they own their own ground? Usually a big reason teams are chosen, Dundee owning Dens was apparently a big factor in Nelms and whoever buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that before we played Hibs and Celtic this season and we had the legs, stamina and desire for two 120 minute dog fights. We'll prepare and strengthen appropriately for next season. Not sure why we looked so off the pace so often this season because we didn't look like that in 14/15. The only logical explanation is the pandemic affected our players and our preparation. Yes, it affected the other teams in our league, but playing with no fans and a shorter or disrupted pre season is a much bigger change for our players than lower level players.

Boof Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The playoffs. Have I got this right? The Premiership/Championship play off only has the higher league team involved in the 'final'? And Hibs are the only higher league team to succumb? Meanwhile the Championship/League 1 and League 1/League 2 playoffs have the higher league team involved from the outset? And finally the League 2/ HL/LL playoff has the current SPFL team only involved in the final? If I'm correct, that smacks heavily of protectionism for Prem and L2 playoff teams. Along with the 'only 3 subs in the Championship for this season only' rule it's yet another example of Scottish fitba tying itself in knots.
