On a different note, I need to visit our office in Chicago this week. So when I have to listen to all the Cubs fans hard luck stories from the playoffs, I'll be delighted to bore them with my stories about the team where I'm part owner.

Final will be a different ball game, but I doubt anyone fancies playing us right now. Celtic will rightly be favourites, but if by some chance we win, it would be some achievement given the opposition along the way. For the first time in a long time we are getting the wee breaks you need to win a cup.

Agree about Moult, although I don't vote unless I'm at a game. Cult hero aside, he's easily repaid the offers we turned down - with interest. A class act, including the way he is dealing with the endless media questions about leaving us.

Time to get the next wave of the recruitment drive under way.

Lobbing the keeper has always been my favourite way for a striker to score.

I hate to say it, by McCoist in the commentary box is a but of a lucky charm for us at Hampden.

Was always a risk of that happening given that almost none of our guys have any big match experience. Hopefully, we get more big matches to bed them in. Oh, and Yaaaaaaas!

Just glad we reciprocated with our "You can't play Kenny Miller" joker.

It's not on BeIN in the US. BeIN is showing Roma vs Torino and the Atletico Madrid games this morning There are no broadcasts of Scottish domestic football in the US this season. Only the occasional international and European game. Believe me, I have looked into this. The contracts expired last season and the SPFL did not negotiate a new deal. cricfree.sc is my goto site for live streams. As long as you have a decent ad blocker and pop-up blocker it's a decent choice.

I'm just hoping Kenny Miller doesn't make an appearance with a point to prove. Apart from that, as league form suggests, there's not a whole lot between the teams and would not be surprised if extra time was on the cards.

I think there's a few who'll need to watch the highlights after they leave Hampden to find out the score.

Worse than that. According to The Scotsman, those 10,000 empty seats mean we lose out on £62,500 of revenue from the gate splits.

That's only because our club is one of many who has been happy to vote in favour of allocating them the lions' share of the cash every time the option is up for debate.

They should rip up that grass and put down some bumpy, worn plastic.

If I confirm that the exact number of 'Well fans at the game on Sunday will be 8,822, will that keep everybody happy who is obsessing over the ticket sales?

Exactly. And no "international breaks" nonsense either.

One of the headlines there is "Bus fares increased by 14%" No wonder some fans struggled to follow their big team... Allegedly.

They got theirs when the club was liquidated. Our cup history against the mob we're playing on Sunday is short - and not very sweet.

The 370k plus an enhanced TV deal was a major reason we really wanted to avoid relegation last season. Basically a pot of free money for a club our size. Not that there's ever a good season to be relegated, but last season would have been one of the worst.

I'm not completely sure losing to Rangers led to the decline and relegation 2 seasons later.

My enjoyment of watching them was diminished by the fact that some other people were leaning against my stanchion.

I hope the players don't obsess about the ref as much as the posters on here. They'll not put in a tackle. I remember the same chat from the play-offs and that worked out OK.

This. The stewards seems to be one of those sub-contracted English mobs that want to do as little work as possible. Last time I was there, the club had posted which turnstiles would be used for which ticket numbers. Turned up at the ground and asked a steward which gated we should use, and between three of them, claimed they didn't know gates had been allocated. So they just sent us to the nearest one.

Tanner and Frear might well make an appearance. Just not in the starting 11.
