Thanks guys,  so either way 3rd does not guarantee group football.    Thought it might have changed but must have been mistaken.  

 

They made winning the Scottish Cup more important than finishing third.

Nope - if we are 3rd and a team outside the top 3 win the cup they get the group slot.

Yep, if Hibs had won the semi-final last year (haha, I know right?) we would only have entered Europe at the same stage as Dundee Utd did (I think - two rounds to get through before any group stage stuff)

But 3rd still qualifies for Europe qualifiers for Group stage?

No. 

 

Hibs needed to win the Scottish Cup to prevent us having Europa League qualifier and guaranteed Conference League Group.

So bizarrely we have to back ourselves and (through gritted teeth) the arsecheeks all to make the semis again to give us the best odds of getting group football again.

 

With a decent draw I’d put money is to win it this year to be honest.

 

3 finals in 4 years - kind of like JJ’s team who knocked on the door a few times.

I thought the SF was the 'winner takes all'? Oh, maybe it was, if we won we'd be guaranteed group football because of our league position - but all Hibs could do was deny us that guarantee, rather than take it for themselves? Ok - makes sense now, thanks - here I am thinking aloud there's really no need for anyone to have to read this, but y'know what, I'm going to post it anyway :D

Hibs would need to have won both the semi final and the final for that to happen.

I wasn’t meaning that, I was meaning winning the Scottish Cup is always a bigger thing than finishing 3rd, 30 odd points behind the arse cheeks.   Perhaps not financially this year or last year but give me trophies over balance sheets any day.  We don’t win enough of them.

Captain Lithuania

Goldson quite clearly shouting “**** off” in the ref’s face after being booked for a foul. Mad if this kind of thing is the norm.

I hope Beale stays until next season. He doesn’t have it - second could be up for grabs - at least a longer time with a dog in the fight - if we have a good summer window and start well…

Its time all Premier League clubs were seeded as an away team for this round, it would make the cup far more interesting

Ross County certainly had an interesting afternoon. Taking medicine.

Exactly my point :greggy:

 

That's the opposite from interesting. 

 

Terrible idea.

Probably something Scotland would take up tho.

How many tickets did hearts give Rangers for next game at tynecastle hope it 600

 

No indication at all from the club, be we can only presume that Rangers will get 2 sections given that the club has [so far] not released any home tickets for sale online. With only 11 days until the game, I think we'd be have been selling tickets well before now if Rangers had only been allocated the one section. My bet is that Rangers will have been given 1,200+ tickets.

First defeat will be vs us at Tynecastle. I have a good feeling we'll beat them there. They are nothing special, especially away from home.

Don’t think it’s a yellow card these days to celebrate with your own fans, as long as you keep your shirt on !!
