The generic Hearts thread

It might be what they'd like to happen but they will ultimately be dictated to by circumstances. The chances of life returning to a level where we could safely host these ties in the next few months are slim to non existent. Allowing 100,000 people to converge on Hampden over a weekend is a long, long way off.

They are not talking of the next few months they are talking August / September in the new season...

Interestingly, there is also thread on kickback regarding hearts winning the cup using this methodology....

Our "discussion" started because of the sickback thread.

When? Have you got a link?

It was an interview on TV with the sfa a few weeks back . It was quite clear that they valued it to ntended it to be completed early in the new season

They seem to think they should be awarded the Scottish Cup on account of goals for

Utterly deluded fools to a man (or woman)

Without giving their mental ramblings enough credit to actually count how many goals they’ve scored, they can’t have scored more than us surely? We scored 6 against Dundee Utd(I’ve counted the replay since we’re being ridiculous anyway), 4 against BSC and 5 against ICT. In fact, just give us the trophy now I think of it.

Apologies if already covered in depth previously but I just read the Dundee statement & it's a belter! Reads like it was written by the ******* child of Self Sufficient Southern & Jumbo Traynor while on a night out with Begbie! Incoherent, meandering, sanctimonious shi*e!!

Attention seeking to appease their hordes.

They still have time to vote but I bet Budge has them on speed dial with a wee sweetener.... after 34 years Potter will come and finally clean that bog!!

Even then I’d reckon there’s a good chance it would take place behind closed doors. The cup this season should be binned as far as I’m concerned.

Did anyone actually manage to decipher what Dundee were on about in their statement? Have they made a decision? What's their stance? What do they want? What are they on?

That would only be a reasonable proposal if clubs are restricted to use only players that are currently registered with that club.

If they allow new signings to play, then it's utter nonsense.

Conrad Logan only coming in at the semi final stage was a nonsense then? If all 4 clubs agree to it then im not sure why it couldnt happen. It may give us a better chance of winning it as this current squad have no chance, if we are being honest.

Actually couldn't make out which way they voted based on the statement. Seemed a bit Budge like.

My take was they want the league to recompense the clubs for the gate receipts that would be lost in the event of the season not completing. Fantasy island nonsense and totally unrealistic in today’s climate.

If it gets played I suspect there might be no atmosphere at all Billy.

I'm in two minds about that. On the one hand it's an easier competition to call null and void than the league, but on the other hand there are only three games to be played and they can be played at any time. In the case of the leagues there are something in the region of 200 (I think) games to play and they have to be completed before the start of next season.

The only reason the Duncans want it called is that they know they've no chance of reaching the final.

The world has changed beyond recognition since 'a few weeks back.' There's not a chance the SFA could commit to that now.

Nothing in that post makes sense.

Erm. It does though. Clubs couldve signed free agents before the semi's were originally due to take place like we did with Logan which couldve changed the course of those semis. This is the exact same situation.

SFA will definitely play the Scottish cup as one of their main sources of income. Only 3 games so definitely will happen and should happen imo.

Delay it as long as they can, so supporters can go
Only issue with the delay, is the European place, although I can’t see European games starting as early as normal

European place will go to 4th place league position.

How much would they make if the games have to be played behind closed doors?

[Jim44]

Before we stray away from the ‘Hearts should be awarded the Cup’ based on statistics so far in the competition, I notice that the poster, forcibly defending the principles of this nonsense, has changed his tune over the years.
In a thread discussing our elimination from the cup in a penalty shoot out against Dundee United in 2014, someone argued that, instead of a penalty shoot out, matches should be based purely on match statistics. The poster, who in this present thread is pro the use of statistics to decide the winner of this year’s competition replied back then :

“Would you be complaining about penalty shoot-outs had we won on Wednesday night?

It's the best and most exciting way to resolve a cup tie.
Leave it to stats? Erm...no ta”

Interesting.
