Based on previous Scottish cup semis is there any chance this isn’t 12:30? A later time? Just cant remember what happened in the past, we know when day/time will be announced?

It’s always Saturday lunchtime for first game. They might wait for rangers European trip but they are pretty much guaranteed for the Sunday game

They might wait until Rangers euro fate is sealed but they should get through and I think the Police would prefer early Sunday ko for them.

2006 SF and Tony Mowbray refused for the game to be switched to Murrayfield despite transport chaos and road closures around Hampden.  Also claims that Murrayfield was too familiar to Hearts.

 

Nuff the fairy 4-0 and Sr Paul on fire.

Will Cam and Souttar be back?

[Tasavallan]

2006 SF

Gordon, Neilson, Pressley, Webster, Goncalves, Cesnauskis, Hartley, Aguiar, Skacel, Jankauskas, Elliot.

Subs: Banks, Fyssas, Mikoliunas, Pospisil, Camazzola.

 

Hearts' #1 still Scotland's #1

[RobNox]

Just had a look at what we might expect in the EL final qualifying round, based on this season's classifications.  

 

We would avoid any side who also entered the tournament at this stage, including any who dropped out of the CL 3rd qualifying round, so we would play a club who came through the previous EL qualifying round.

 

Looking at this season the potential opponents would have been:

 

Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia)

Mura (Slovenia)

Alashkert (Armenia)

Omonia (Cyprus)

HJK (FInland)

Celtic (Weegieland)

Rapid Wien (Austria)

Galatasaray (Turkey)

 

Looking at that list as an example of the calibre of opponent we could expect to face, I'd say we'd have a reasonable chance of getting to the group stages.  That would be worth almost £600k more than dropping into the Conference group stages, albeit we are likely to pick up more money for points gained in the Conference.

This thread would normally stick to fitbaw, now it's a bit like looking in on a Dow Jones Index discussion. 😔

Just win the game!

That little side show contributed to Hibs losing that game. They were scared of us right from the day the draw was made. Confirmed when they visibly shat themselves during the warm up. I’m sure it was Sproule who admitted later that they crumbled when they heard us during the warm up and barely spoke a word to each other.

We should mention it again, get them on the back foot from the off.

It will be if Rangers are still in Europe as will be playing Thursday before it I'm sure

Hopefully they’ll just make a decision tomorrow on the basis the tribute act will be in Europa rather than wait until Thurs. in any event the authorities usually prefer them two to play a Sunday early KO

[Guest ToqueJambo]

The approach to the derby a week before will be interesting. Could be two reserve teams playing.

Who do you want? 

 

Probably a better chance to win it if we got celtic in the sf then hibs in the final. 

Hibs have got a better record v rangers than us. 

 

Or do we want hibs in the sf as they are shite, then the final is a free hit if we get here. 

 

Think I'm for hibs in the sf then whatever happens in the final- happens. 

 

 

 

Remind me how the games have went so far against them this season ?

Easy peasy........

Another  Demolition Derby!!!!

Haven’t lost. Haven’t ever looked like we would lose Should have won both.

 

If we’re already talking about the final I’d prefer Celtic. We just seem to show up better against them and got a right doing from Rangers just a few weeks ago. Heavy underdogs no matter who it is really.

I agree re Celtic being preferred opponents if we make the final.  We've got players with experience of playing them in a final where we ran them very close and only lost on penalties, so will believe we are capable of beating them, especially if we don't give them a 2 goal start.

5th place would guarantee them a Euro spot, as nobody below them could win the cup.

Only if they get anywhere neat the top 6.

I’d take Rangers. After the 5-0 they’ll have their foot off the gas. Also, we’re due a win over them.

[HeartsandonlyHearts]

Other than the obvious of us drawing the weakest team with tonight’s draw is the fact that 50/60 thousand @$$ cheek fans are going to be spewing come Easter Sunday night. I love when their fans get upset. Hopefully Newco will have just been knocked out off Europe a few days before too.

They'd have to be in the top 6 to finish 5th, hopefully we pump them at Tynecastle to condemn them to the bottom 6.

 

It would be extra pleasing to see our 2 closest rivals for 'best of the rest', who finished 3rd and 4th last season, ending up in the bottom half with no Euro nights to look forward to next season, usurped by the team they voted to demote two seasons ago.

[Harry Potter]

Had a feeling this would be the draw, 3-0 Hearts.

[Kiwidoug]

Wonder what the odds will be now.  You've got Rangers who've never won it, Hibs who win it once a century, Celtic who win it frequently and Hearts who've won it 3 times in the last 24 years.

 

I would think that makes it Celtic 4/6, Rangers 6/4, Hearts 7/1 and Hibs 66/1.

[jamboozy]

BRING. THEM. ON

 

[Sooks]

Hibs best tactic is Porteous diving to get a Hearts player sent off so as long as get a semi competent referee we will be just fine sorry to put a downer on it

2 draws. Will certainly not be as easy as some are making out, but by far the easiest draw and based on history, recent history, form, players, staff and generally getting it round them the majority of time we play, then we have every right to be confident.

Absolutely 💯

We’re in the final lads 

[Leveins Battalion]

Absoloutely buzzing for this one!!

[DETTY29]

Well that's the Easter weekend redecorating of the living room cancelled for another year.

 

Potential 4 day bender on the cards.

 

It was always at risk  I suppose.

[andyscott82]

Make no mistake, despite their forced bravado on the internet, each and every single one of the rancid tramps in their fan base will be shitting themselves. 
 

I’m as relaxed now as I was 10 years ago. We are better than them in each and every position. Even when it comes to their top performers, they still wouldn’t get in our team over our first picks. 
 

We keep everyone fit, 11 men on the park and each of our guys wins their individual battles then there’s no way it’s anything other than another Hampden humiliation for those snivelling little scumbags. 
 

Imo it’ll be us and those manky stripy weegie *******s in the final, and we will get our revenge on them for the last two.

They crumbled before the final too. I know a lassie that was amongst the supporters who gathered to greet them outside Hampden. All the fans there knew they had bottled it, they got nothing back at all. 

[A_A wehatethehibs]

Reminder that Hibs are going into the semi with a dull wee rookie of a manager who has very few bright ideas and has ridden his luck up till now. Maloney reminds me of Pat Fenlon, same vibe, trying earnestly to inspire a bit of confidence but all looks quite wobbly to me. It’s basically Porteous holding their whole team together,  I think many Hibs fans will remember that was the case with McPake at CB of their 2012 team, he was the one Hibs player that showed any trace of fight. Would give anything to see the world collapse in on Porteous as it did for Mcpake

[1971fozzy]

Apparently that wee lassie they have up front that scored v 10 men Motherwell is the 2nd coming.  I want him crying like a baby in the tunnel before getting on the pitch. Get these tramps beaten before they’ve kicked a ball. Beat them in the semi and it will finish a lot of the tramps
