It does if we then win our European games. :greengrinQuote:

Livi v Partick

Falkirk should still win the league
Falkirk doing their best to blow it.
I really don't want to see Livingston back up again
Falkirk should still win the league but after Livi handing them several dire results, they haven’t half let them back into it!
Agree. Made up tinpot club.Quote:

Me neither, pleased for Rovers today though. Falkirk's goal difference is miles better then Livi's so even if they lose to Partick they'll just need to beat Hamilton at home.Quote:

Aston Villa 1 - 0 Newcastle .. unlucky deflection ☹️
Aston Villa 1 v 0 Newcastle United
Watkins
Villa been the better team so far but it’s 1-1 :greengrin
Schar and Newcastle very fortunate. Could have been sent off and now he gets the equaliser
Thought a yellow card was about right , red would have been very harsh .Quote:

Same. Praying they stay down. Offer nothing but embarrassment to the Premiership with their ***** pitch and empty stadium.Quote:

Didn’t think it was a penalty as Watkins goes down to easily, minimum contact if any . One where Schar pulls Watkins is the correct decision due to Popes positioning in he’s getting the ball anyhow .. third one you have me on because I can’t remember itQuote:

This would be incredible. :greengrinQuote:

You would fancy Celtic today, they usually turn up when required.
Still very tight for the champions League spots in the EPL, how many league places will get Europa and conference? Would there be extra ones if City win the fa cup and both Newcastle and City get into the top 5?
Would like to see Bournemouth get a spot.
Eight guaranteed European places which could rise to 11 if certain teams win cups. Over half their league. Mental and just wrong.Quote:

Let’s get some prestige back with the European games please 👍
What was the attendance at Hampden yesterday, couldn’t see it on the bbc website
Hopefully a convincing Celtic win today and the same in the final
Just put on the TV and noticed that Ipswich have Alex Palmer in goals. Am I making this up or did he not play in a friendly for us as a trial when Lennon was manager? There was definitely a young keeper not long before we signed Marciano but not sure if it was him.
Ikpeazu, aka Frank Bruno, on the bench for St Johnstone.
Agree wholeheartedly.Quote:

In its earliest years of course it was an even more exclusive invitation-only tournament, with the mighty Hibees aming the first invitees 😉
You're correct, he was at West Brom at the time if my memory serves me correctly.Quote:

Did you see how quickly and easily he got up, when he realised he hadn't managed to fool the referee? Simple and clear attempt to cheat, all saw it, some will try to ignore it. I think that deserved a booking too, or should, for that… it’s a dive to try and cheat.Quote:

Hope so … hard to really want it, but just need to remind myself it’s for Hibs benefit if they do.Quote:

IRA songbook on full blast already…it’s really, really hard to want them to win this. Ugh.
You don't need to support them. Just sit back and let them do what they do.Quote:

They beat their only real contenders for it this year when we had an off day against them.
Wished these ***** would stop ****ing vaping, can hardly see the ****ing pitch !! 🤬
Pretty sure I head the commentary before game say that Brendan Roger’s Hamden record is won 20 lost 0. MentalQuote:

Also read that Saint Johnstone have won this cup more times than any team outside of the 2 cheeks this century.Quote:

Celtic making hard work of this. St Johnstone working very hard. Has the keeper made a save yet? Missed the first ten minutes or so.
St Johnstone offering nothing but defending pretty well, it's what you have to do against them, it can't last for 90+ mins though.
Yeah. Feels unnatural to not want St Johnstone to win this. Especially now that the threat of Hearts winning the cup has gone.Quote:

Don’t see a comeback from even 1-0. At Johnstone’s gameplan has been like 10 man Hearts yesterday. Doesn’t work once your behind.
2-0 game over
And it’s goodnight from Saints
I think we can relax. I’ll probably turn off soon :)Quote:

Can go enjoy the Easter Sun now !
When was the last time a ST J player touched the ball in the Celtic half
This could end up double figures.
4-0. Wow
what's the highest scoreline in a SC SF
kinda hoping that's the end of the scoring, starting to feel a bit for St Johnstone now
4-0
