Am I right in thinking we're the only club in the history of Scottish football to have done this?

Technically one was last season's.

You surely can’t include last season’s with this season’s. It makes absolutely no sense. No logic in it at all.

There's no denying we'll have played 3 Cup semi-finals DURING the 2020-21 season, and nobody else can claim that. I just hope we're not the first, and liekly ONLY team, to LOSE 3 cup semi-finals in one season

I think it's fair to say that we'll have played the three semi-finals during season 2020-21, even if one of them was a rollover from the previous season.

I just hope we don't lose all three.

The rangers in 2016.

I agree that playing them all this season makes it noteworthy as a statistical anomaly.

Its not even the first time we've done it. 2016 we played both cups and the play off semi final :greengrin

If you include the Drybrough Cup, then I imagine there might be 3 or 4 clubs who will have played in 3 national Cup semi finals in a season.

i mean, you can in so far as that it was played during this season, which, whether you disagree with it, makes some sense and seems to adhere logically to the following statement: "if a cup competition occurs during a given season, then it is a part of that season", which, even if you disagree with, is a logical statement...

I don't think you can include the Dryburgh Cup, as a National competition....there were limited entrants. And play_offs aren't cups

Surely happened back in the days of replays?

It’s great getting to semi finals but if you don’t win any of them it’s pretty irrelevant.
