Been fairly calm this week (probably due to lack of exposure to all the Scottish media coverage), but have been bitten by the bug this morning. The good thing is when I wake up tomorrow morning I only need to wait until 10am for the kick-off!

Ach you're just upset because every minute that guy is broadcasting is a minute taken away from your own media exposure

It's sad when you get that age where you can't handle your drink. I think the club should ban the perpetrator from travelling to European away ties.

On the day before the '91 Final, I remember hearing Iain Ferguson talking about Dundee Utd's Cup jinx - seemingly never destined to win the trophy. He said "I never believed in jinxes...... but I hope it continues"

A cross between Rikki Fulton and Danny La Rue. I think Boyle has left the club in a pretty sound footing and, unlike many Chairmen in this game, learned from his mistakes along the way. Sorry to see him go. Am I the only one worried that under the new regime, some of the posters on here will be getting a vote?

A guesstimate is, indeed, an estimate based on insufficient or incomplete information. In other words, it is a guess. No need to make it sound any fancier than it is.

I want to definately sponser Humphries next season now he's one of the Reggie Boys.

If he does pick it up will that increase the value of his framed shirt I won from the year we sponsored him? Just asking like Seriously though, certainly a great professional and worthy of of lifting the trophy.

Aye, McCall outdid him on that front; at least in his short term deals. Hoprefully, the longer term deals over the summer will be equally successful.

Would have been better getting sponsored by these guys:

And no player gives 110%, ever. Totally off topic, but just thought I'd share a pet peeve

Aye - BBC report says it was one year.

There's another thread with people looking for tickets. I'd recommend you get rid of yours there and watch the game on telly. That way you can switch it off as soon as you think we are going to lose. Like others have said, if you can't handle the disappointments and the heartache, you really shouldn't be following any sports team; far less a team like ours.

Not as pessimistic as the last time around then.

And if he pulls out an iPhone during the game, that will be two slaps he's due.

Are you calling everyone who posted in the actual Cup Final thread, liars? Honestly, that's just no' very nice.

Indeed. How often do we hear managers early season that players need competitive games under their belt. I really hope we don't take 30 mins to get up to speed or the game will be over. Celtic have been fighting every game since the split and be flying out the traps on Saturday. We need to be ready for that.

TBH, I wouldn't be in favour of that. There comes a point when we need to move on, and for me, we are beyond that now.

There *may* be a few thousand more names in the ballot than tickets, but I'd bet a significant portion are fans who now have a ticket and won't be accepting the offer. Even then, I'd question over subscription running into the thousands.

I wouldn't believe half of the stories about mates of mates cousins getting tickets. There might not be a general sale, but I'd still be very surprised if there aren't enough tickets for the folks in the ballot who haven't already got one.

I thought it was going to be sleek petrol blue number from River Island so that people could wear it to the game without being accused of sporting club colours.

I think you're missing the point that a precedent had already been set a few weeks earlier with the McCoist/Lennon incident.

Indeed. With no Accies, that will likely mean a St. Mirren or Killie New Year 'derby' - which never felt quite right to me.

So if he wasn't going to miss the game why were you flapping you gums about how worried you were he'd miss the game?

You could have given him your ticket anyway, like a good son.
