King Jela 20,360 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Meh. Would be a nice wee bonus but no really giving that much of a fuck about it, unless we're playing the scum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to schedule four games over two rounds than it is to schedule more than 30 games over six rounds. Play it down to the semi finals then .Quarter finals played on the scheduled cup final weekend . Friday ,Saturday ,Sunday and Monday or 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday . Then have paying fans at the semis and final in Autumn . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season the SC will have to be completed before the qualifying rounds of the EL as the cup winners go into that. The third and 4th in the league go into the new Euro competition IIRC.

cr3_bear 14,805 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Doesn’t the Scottish cup have to be completed by early May this year . Think hampden is getting work done before the euros . Leaves them pretty much 2 months to cram in more or less a full tournament . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe The Dude could confirm It wouldn’t have to ,The chat even at the weekend was 4th being good enough if the cup wasn’t completed . Just like last year when the place for winning the cup was allocated to league placings . Just like if we won the cup and beat the Taigs in the final or vice versa the Conference league place would go to 4th in the league . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to take about a month to get the lower leagues restarted so it’s unlikely any cup matches until the end of the month at least ,4 rounds before a late May final . Play the 2nd team/young lads in the s/c if we’re still in the Europa!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on my fucking watch! 👍🇬🇧 Going to be a tricky one if we advance in Europe. Play the kids in the League and go strong in both cups? Stay strong in the league and try and win every remaining game? Play it on a game by game basis? I think we now have sufficient strength in depth to cope. Confident SG and the backroom boys can manage this.

No fucking way though am I happy to play a second team and end up with the tarriers getting a trophy. They’ve done enough shouting from the rooftops!
