I think the semi matches come before the cup final according to this link which was posted just yesterday.

Semi final play off will be the 10th and 13th of May. The final is still listed as the 19th and 22nd. The only change would be moving both legs of the final until after the SC final. If they get through then I expect them to place more importance on the play offs than the cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of games in a relatively short space of time and in this instance I want them to be winning to give them more to deal with which can only suit us. I would guess the play off final against what at this time would appear to be Kilmarnock will be after the cup final which leaves Kilmarnock dragging their heels into June when everybody else is off on break.

We've been in bigger finals in living memory let alone ever Although obviously not the biggest final because we are not playing Celtic, it would be the biggest Scottish Cup win for me due to the circumstances.

Bad Robot 21,148 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hibs have roughly played a game every three days and their players will fkd come the final and we will steam roll the junkie cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanFerguson2013 396 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It's nowhere near our biggest Scottish Cup final. The importance is obviously Europe for us and stopping Hibs getting a possible double. I have been in Scottish Cup final crowds of over 100 thousand where you surged forward every time there was an incident. If you were behind a barrier the surge behind you nearly crushed you and if you were in front of the barrier you expected it to break. All that fun gone now we have all seated.

Could make all the difference on Cup Final day ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just worried about the concept of Rangers going down in the history books as the team that allowed hivs to win the cup, after over a hundred years of huffing and puffing. I can't see how you thought I said in anyway that he should go. In fact, quite the opposite, I suggested that he was the one that would change our fortunes and get us back to winning ways. A bit of a misunderstanding here mate. I was not implying you said anything like that; just making my own poition clear as my post may have appeared a bit negative to those who think it is easy to suddenly up your game after a string of poor performances.

That could work both ways. We wont have played any pressurised football for weeks when we meet Hibs in the final. If Hibs get decent results from those games (and no injuries), it could work to their advantage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,057 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I think it's massive for us, to win it and qualify for Europe will surely give the manager a bigger budget to play with which will give us an even better chance of winning the league at our first attempt. This coupled with the fact that we won't have to play in the diddy league cup group stage also. If we did lose and hivs got up through the playoffs then they will argue they have had a more successful season than us, I would hate to see that ugly cunt Stubbs standing there and telling everycunt this.

Forgot about the league cup implications as well. To lose now would just take any shine off the season and add so many what-ifs regarding europe and new signings going into next season. Everything thats at stake probably makes our recent performances so much more worrying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZed 4,510 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hibs will get pumped in the final and not get promoted. 3-0 Rangers, the players are now saving themselves for the cup final, to top off a very good season for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hope. Alas, I am not so sure; I am more worried that they have switched off and will find it difficult to up their game again. Seen it too often in the past. Hope you are right and I am wrong.
