    Well Done Jack Ross

    Not often have we finished 3rd in my lifetime. Away win record and just missing our record points total. Also in the Scottish Cup final.

    Just think the state we were in when he took over. Incredible.

    He’s been brilliant for us.

    If we win the cup we will look back at this as the start of a golden period hopefully.

    Enjoying every minute of it. It doesn’t get much better than this.

    What about getting 3rd the season after that and the season after that etc etc... That would be even classier eh?

    Matty has already aluded to this with his comment about the gap we had to make up between us and Aberdeen to overtake them in the first place, but I'd add that we have grown into a very consistent team now.

    Pre-Jan, I didn't know which Hibs was going to turn up. Would we take a 3-0 pumping or win playing swashbuckling football?

    Since the turn of the year, we have looked like a match for anyone and I cannot wait for the final now.

    I don’t know how this popped up again, but why settle for third? If we can retain and build on this squad, 2nd isn’t impossible. Remember, Celtic are a mess and will be rebuilding drastically. Too early to settle for best of the rest.

    Good point, if Celtic appoint the equivalent of John Barnes or Mogga (in terms of how well he did for them) then a confident start next season could throw up all sorts.
    Winning the Cup could really ignite us again and I'm sure Ron will invest adequately on the back of that too.
    If its Eddie Howe coming in to Celtic let's hope he's thinking its just Rangers he has to beat, take your eye off the ball and anything can happen

    I'd take 2nd any day of the week.

    Celtic will rebuild enough to be well ahead of us.

    Unlikely we'll finish 2nd, so 3rd would be good imo.

    A huge well done from me.

    We’ve really kicked on since Christmas and look a much better team than we did before it. First half of the season we seemed to have a knack of winning games that could have went either way imo which made it feel like we wouldn’t be able to keep it going.

    Since January though we’ve shown what we’re all about. One final push in the final. This squad deserves to win something and deserves a crack at European group stage football.

    He's a manager it's taken me a while to warm to. I'm not sure why, I think part of it is because I haven't actually seen his team very often and partly because we have thrown in a few stinking performance and results under him.

    There is no arguing that teams end up where they deserve to be over the course of a season though and a semi final, a final and 3rd place is an excellent return by any measure. It could get a fair bit better yet as well.

    It's been a tough and unique season for us as fans and I'm sure that is true for the managers and players as well. Jack Ross has led us to a place we haven't been in too long and should be far more often. He deserves all the praise in the world for that.

    That's very similar to what I think.

    Fair to say that the best foundations for a club are built on pragmatism and add flair afterwards, looks like this is the process we're going through.
    If we could win this cup final it will be a season to remember forever.
    Please get it over the line!

    I was absolutely impressed by our fight and determination in the second half tonight. A repeat performance in the final could make this a fantastic season. If we can win the Cup, I think Porteous, Doig, Nisbet and Irvine will waken up and see the sense of staying put for at least another season.

    Who would hsve thought at the start of the season we'd finish 3rd and possibly win The Scottish Cup. Could be an historic season if we win the Cup Final.

    Our 5th third place finish in the last 45 years, and first for 16 years.

    It has been a successful season whatever way you look at it, we are in a great position to kick on next season AND this season could still get even better.

    To be fair, I think JR and the players believed it because he’s spoken enough about third and a cup win being the target. Seems they had a bit more belief than quite a lot of fans, me included.

    At the start of the season I thought we were a stick on to finish top four because we actually invested in players in a way other teams just couldn’t. I wasn’t sure beyond that though. With the exception of the odd shocker, I think we’ve reacted really well to the St Johnstone semi final.

    Need to go and win this cup now.

    Yep, Ron put his money where his mouth is and JR has shown that he merits the backing.

    Well done Jack ,players and staff.
    Older fans may agree with me .
    The Tornadoes in original form,were short lived,yet played such football not seen at ER since the FF.
    I really believe that Jack can and will, with the backing of Ron,and the support, assemble a squad/ team /side that will make us oldies who still dream of The Tornadoes very happy and muchly proud !!

    Ron must see that with third place and Final appearance ,he has bought into a good outfit with fantastic and very faithful longstanding support, going back generations.

    We shall not be moved ,Ron!!
    Over to you !
    Glory!! Glory !

    We were an absolute shambles when this guy took over, with a squad of players who couldn’t see out a game if their life depended on it.

    I think Jack Ross is the most under rated manager in our history.

    If we sometimes win ugly - is it not infinitely preferable to losing games like this? ....which we did regularly before.

    Let’s get this cup!
