Semi final

[GGTTH07]

No chance will this get played in front of a crowd 👎

[DaveF]

It's 4 weeks away. A lot can change (for better or worse)

[Steven79]

Nobody was going to turn up anyway from our side as they were all scared that we were going to get beaten...

[Waxy]

Could the cup not be postponed till the summer. Could fit league games in for cup semi weekend to get it done asap.

When does the decision need made by though? That could have an impact.

[Jones28]

Highly highly unlikely it will be an attended match.

Potentially might never happen and they’ll void the competition.

[660]

Joint winners 🏆

[matty_f]

Scrap the competition and end the season today. Promote Dundee United, relegate Hearts, give Celtic the title and scrap the play-off for this season. Would take that :greengrin

[500miles]

Scottish teams cant afford to just scrap fixtures. We'll suspend for a month or so, and play through the summer when the euros are binned.

[Hibee Mac]

Should be giving all season ticket holders full Hibs TV subs and UEFA/SPFL/SFA should be organising a way to get around the UK live TV bans.

Aye Mattie, you and me both... also joint winners of the Scottish cup

It's highly unlikely that things will be better, unfortunately.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

With around 20/25% of league fixtures remaining, how many scootish sides could potentially go under if all game are played behind closed doors?

[GordonHFC]

If this is such a major issue then why delay this action until next week. Wouldn't happen to be a bigot fest on this weekend. Can't believe that this fixture comes before a national crisis?

[Waxy]

With around 20/25% of league fixtures remaining, how many scootish sides could potentially go under if all game are played behind closed doors?

None. Theyve already taken the season ticket cash.

[Jones28]

I’d be surprised if clubs would struggle at this time of the season. They’ve had the cash injections already from season ticket sales.

If there’s still restrictions in place going in to renewal times some might feel the pinch if people are unsure about ST’s for the new season.

[Jim44]

None. Theyve already taken the season ticket cash.

Good point. Losses would be caused only by lack of pay at the gate income and shop sales. Clubs would also be free of stewarding/policing expenses.

[MWHIBBIES]

Zero.

What about smaller sides who's only real income is from 200/300 walk ups or even the likes of Raith Partick Dundee ect?

[cabbageandribs1875]

do folk think clubs survive on ST money alone ? walk-ups and away fans will play a big part in keeping clubs afloat,ST money will most likely be used up after summer/jan transfers, the tills would be empty without walk-ups cash, maybe time to stop assuming ST money pays for all 😉

Yeah this will be what happens, hopefully the situation will be a bit better and we might get to go to some games in May and June which would be a nice change

[Skol]

We will toss a coin to see who proceeds

[Squealing pig]

1st team to win a cup with no spectators , it's what we do. Trendsetters

Scottish teams may not have a say in the matter like every other country

Relegate hearts and screw over Robbo at ICT? Where do I sign up 😂

That’s when it will start to get confusing and difficult. Players still need to be paid.

Think Euro 2020 would trump (pardon the pun) the Scottish Cup. It will take preference over domestic competitions but only if it still goes ahead.

This whole conundrum is new to everyone all over the world. Everywhere is doing their own thing. We are just a very small cog in a very large wheel.

[Diclonius]

For the final too. Flat 25% chance of winning, I'll take that. :wink:

[The 90+2]

No chance we win. Didn’t we lose a final on coin toss before?

[Iggy Pope]

Tossed a coin once with Valencia or Red Star or some *******s and had to go back there for a replay and got battered upside down in our close season. Bugger coins....

More likely to be peak time.

AS Roma in semi final of 1960/61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup beat us 6-0 in a 3rd game after drawing 5-5 on aggregate over the 2 legs. We drew 2-2 at home and 3-3 in Rome but it was before away goals came into operation which would have seen us into the final to play Birmingham City.

Correct! My minds diseased.


Edit: Inaugural ICFC too wasn’t it?

[Cod Boy]

The remaining fixtures in Scotland will be decided by roll of a dice. A six counts as nil and will be showing live after Ant and Dec on a Saturday night.

[heretoday]

The semi won't take place.

I’ve had a lob-on for a good half hour as well.

You've got to worry about Ant and Dec getting that plane to Florida.

Also drew on aggregate with Valencia and on the toss of a coin had to play away and lost 3-0. Think we beat them 2-0 at ER and lost 2-0 away prior to third game.

Maybe I’m not demented after all. Anyway, bugger tossing coins!

[kaimendhibs]

Hopefully postponed. Selfish I know but toiling to make it

My party and mates of the other team are all gutted but will fully support it being postponed/cancelled/played behind closed doors. People's health has to be the overwhelming priority. Couldn't really care less about football right now

Dont be disheartened. You can get blue pills at the chemist these days.

What about players whose contracts end on 31st May

[Brightside]

I’m now fully expecting the leagues to get scrapped.

It's the sensible thing to do.

[Brooster]

What's sensible about scrapping the league after 31 games? The placing should stand rather than scrapping it.

[DaveF]

With celtc on the verge of 9 in a row? Can't see it.

Give them the title and relegate the fuds.

Everyone happy 😁

[darwenhibby]

31 games and no trophies handed out!!
It’s happened before
I think there was also a loo roll shortage at the time too!

[Waxy]

Hardly. Its probably the most unsensible thing to do.

[pollution]

What about a refund for the semi final tickets already bought?

[DH1875]

What about a refund for the semi final tickets already bought?

I didn't even know they were on sale.

[Onceinawhile]

I didn't even know they were on sale.

Ditto!

[Baldy Foghorn]

Not on sale yet?

[KingFranck]

Just googled Hibs fixtures and beside the Semi final it says postponed so Hibs know something already?

[O'Rourke3]

SFA cant afford to have these played behind closed doors. Just short of two sellouts. They'd lose a pile of cash and ownHampden.
