No worries mate

I'm sure at some point towards the end of the year 3 games could be fitted in over two weekends to decide it.

A Boxing Day Scottish Cup Final would be a good end to the year (as long as we're still in it!)

That is the hope

Thanks for seeing where I was coming from 🙂

Exactly.

If we won the cup by the normal channels, having played East Kilbride, Huntly, Cowdenbeath, Airdrie and beating Celtic in the final. We didn’t really win it because Celtic beat Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Motherwell and Rangers?

The cup is the luck of the draw. That’s beyond agreement.

As I’ve said. I’m not saying that it should play out that way but I can understand why they’re saying it.

You must be the only outside Tynie then who thinks that!

Hearts have a 100% record. We don’t, we needed a replay.

Oh dear. Right ok then. I think you should just leave it there before you dig yourself a bigger hole. 👍

All four teams that are in the semi finals have identical win records. There's absolutely no logical way of awarding a winner in a knock-out competition without the games being played to completion.

There's simply no other way to conclude the Scottish Cup. The games get played in the next football season, or the competition is nullified, that's it.

Hibs and Aberdeen have played 5 games in the complete and won 4.

Celtic and Hearts have played 4 and won 4.

That’s not the same win records.

Once again...Why?

What have I said that isn’t factually correct?

I'll leave it to one of the admin guys to punt you. Personally, I'd keep you as one of our wee pets. 😄

There it is. I’ve done this before you know.
I think objectively and therefore I must be a Jambo.

I’m not going to justify my Hibs supporting credentials to you.

You didn’t answer the question though. Was what I said wrong?

A Scottish Cup tie is played until there is a winner, a replay is still the same round of fixtures. All four teams have won the same number of rounds.

They've all played and won 4 rounds. That's the only thing that matters in a knockout competition of this kind, so yes they're identical.

Plus the only way to predict who will win it is NOT to look at past results against minor teams but rather who you are playing next. ALL the teams Hearts are potentially playing have better form and recent records. The bookies way you might call it. On those grounds Celtic are way out in front and Hearts are clearly last. The whole issue though is pointless. You either play the games and resolve it or simply not issue the cup. Anything else is crazy or kickback logic.

It was tongue in cheek. Only heard it from the most unhinged Jambos and TheHarpy76. We should close this discussion down and call the yellow van.

I heard that they're going to draw straws for the Scottish Cup.

This is the best idea.

Aberdeen, Celtc and Hibs should get one straw each.
Hearts should get three straws, because they used to be run by a company called Wheatsheaf and one of their tin stands is called Wheatfield.
I'm not saying that's entirely fair, but I can understand why Hearts fans would believe it to be fair, and we'd be exactly the same if we were in their position and weren't sane either.

[Skol]

Four wins and a draw worth a point more than four wins. So it’s a hibs Aberdeen final.

Do we not just win it on goal difference?

[RoxburghHibs]

No. Award the cup to the remaining team with the best record. Who they played is completely irrelevant. Just as it would be if the cup was played to its conclusion in the normal way.

You don’t win cups on goal difference and even in some mad crazy world where you do that method hands Hibs the cup!😂
What the actual f!** are you on about?! Has to be a wind up or a drunk post.

That said I hope you’re just a Jambo clutching at straws on levels never seen before as its entertaining. Hearts fans = wee club mentality

[Springbank]

The first 3 games back will be the 2 semis & the final, whenever that is (earliest possible is last week in July but that looks very ambitious & more likely to be aug/sept)

Whenever they take place, the SFA would like it all to start back with:

Tuesday - Hibs v Hearts
Wednesday - Aberdeen v Celtic
Saturday - The Scottish Cup Final

All 3 likely to be on telly but no fans inside the stadium

I look at things objectively, not through green tints. I’ve always been that way and it’s caused no end of arguments for me.
I’ve said it twice and I’ll say it for a third time. I’m not saying the cup should be played out that way. But I completely understand them saying it. We would be doing the same. Let’s not deny that.

I deny it.

Theres no way on earth i would advocate that for Hibs.

Its a bonkers plan, and it is not logical or objective.

I think stir crazy status has officially kicked in for loads of folk due to lockdown fever. It's like two kids in the playground wondering how to win the cup without playing the semis and final. Bizarre.
