    Who's been in the most semi-finals

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47394040

    Anyone get it correct first time?

    PS: don't give any clues to those who have yet to play it.

    I lost all three lives, so not great play by me.

    Third time right.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    There`s something very wrong with that. They are saying Hibs have been in 14 semi finals - surely that`s finals they mean. Plus even if you get it right in the order they`re saying it says 1/8 or some nonsense !

    Yes, not like the BBC to get it wrong.

    Think the numbers are the times the teams have got to the finals not the semi-finals.

    Whatever the stats, the only thing I got wrong first time was the order of Rangers and Celtic at the top. Got it all right on the 2nd attempt, which I’m fairly surprised about!

    Hibs have been to 14 finals so you can probably double that for semis

    What the figures are saying is how far we got in the cup. If we got to the final then obviously we would have made the semi final. So we have won 3 finals, been runners up 11 times and got just as far as the semi finals 14 times. Therefore we have reached 28 semi finals in all if you count the ones we've won and lost.

    Don't think that's right either… going by http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/comphist_comp.php I count 23 seasons where we've lost at the semifinal stage.

    I think the Beeb have just taken the number of final appearances by mistake.

    Got it second time - just had to swap two teams.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    The Beeb page says its finals. The OP is the only reference I can see to semi-finals.
    have the Beeb updated or is the thread title wrong?

    It's Scottish Cup quarter-final time, but which of the last-eight sides has been in the most finals? And which the fewest?
    8/8 2nd attempt
