    I understand it, my point was though - us reaching that final presents operational and logistical problems that they may not be able to handle by itself.

    Nevermind factoring in Liverpool, West Ham or anyone else.

    While Liverpool have more fans on this Island, that doesn't = supporters that they take to games or travel.

    I still think us attending any UK final, or Ireland/Northern Ireland we have the potential to dwarf anybody.

    For example if we played Manchester United in London, I feel we'd take more.

    R.e Dublin, we've been singing about doing it for years 😂

     

    Pretty sure Williamson is meaning Ireland as  an island regarding there being more Liverpool fans.

    It'd be negligent to play Sterling given he'd an issue with his hammy the last 2 games.

    I doubt he's available but even if he did declare himself fit I'm confident the gaffer wouldn't risk him again on Thursday.

    Yeah agreed, it’s that type of thing previous managers have done and not trusted in the ‘next man up’ philosophy that catches up with the player in question and puts a ceiling on other players as they aren’t deemed good enough.

    I’m hoping it’s a good sign the manager mentioned checking Serling and Mcausland for Thursday’s game. If it was really bad at the end of the hibs game he wouldn’t have mentioned Thursday. 

    Problem with Sterling is he had an ice pack on it after Benfica and then pulled up against Hibs, I would be very surprised to see him this week at all.

    Not sure what the injury is for McCausland, I know it came from the challenge against Motherwell but not sure what the issue is.

    I’m surprised by the Hibs meltdown tbh. Going into Sunday I seen the game as pretty routine for us and wasn’t worried in the slightest by it. Genuinely 

    From a few guys I know they fancied their chances with us coming back from Europe, not spoken to them since the result other than a few messages but they are more about Montgomery being no better than Johnson than naughty songs.

    They’ve not beat us in 8 years and not won a SPL game against us in 20 years.

    Their fans are tarriers without the bus fares and can’t handle it.

    Now that they have the Bournemouth money, this is nothing more than a token gesture from board to appease their republican support and also deflect away from another shambolic season and managerial appointment.

    Hadn’t thought of the Bournemouth money but makes sense that they can use that for a bit of deflection away from their season been done.

    I’m torn on what I think should happen here. He seemed like he was going to be a great signing for us but I hate the idea of signing another player that could now start frequently breaking down 

    Yeah especially given his position if there’s any longer term problems or does it change the potential fee agreed with Lens.

    Hopefully it’s just our scar tissue that’s the problem and he’s back with no issue in the summer.

    That's an incredible stat that we'd been awarded only a quarter of penalties on 1st view.

    Agreed - would be interesting to see if that is a stat we see across all penalties this season? I do think Refs now leave it to VAR to correct after the fact now, whether that's an instruction on how to use VAR or a cowardly way out I don't know.

    Quite sad but was quite interesting looking at the incidents, a few from set pieces.

    The worst one for me is Sterling at St Johnstone but he’s a relatively inexperienced ref so give him a bit of leeway.

    Personally think VAR is highlighting a lot of shortfalls in decision making across Scotland but this may be instruction from the SFA on its use.

    There should be a collective summit with managers and captains meeting with the senior refs and the SFA to defuse things as it’s out of control.
