ABE now for sure. What is with the English obsession that Scottish people should support them. There is enough people in England they don't need our support. Rivalry is a major part of football, will Tottenham fans be supporting arsenal today as they are a London team? There is a particular fetish they have about Scottish people supporting their country and mock outrage when they say they don't care. Although it seems it's not just restricted to Scotland. If you watch the breakfast tv programmes especially the arrogance that everyone should care about the England football team is quite funny. Last time they would ask any American actor interviewed if they would be supporting England, when their own team was in the competition and in England's group. Shakira was also interview and got the same question! Why do they think that a Colombia married to one of the Spanish players would be supporting England. I wonder if Austrian's get asked every year if they will be supporting Germany.

It makes no difference whatsoever if Dundee United pip Motherwell for 3rd. We would still have to catch Motherwell for 4th which is pretty much the same position we are in now trying to catch them for 3rd. Same number of points to make up. It's too much of a gap and one win against county is not going to suddenly make us unstoppable. We will never win every game post split.

Not sure where your getting that. Cup runners up only qualify if the winners have qualified for the champions league. Aberdeen will be in Europe already and rangers are barred from playing in Europe so a final between them moves the cup place to 4th. As does an Aberdeen win over Dundee United. If we do over take Dundee United to 4th then only a Dundee United or St Johnstone cup win would see them take the European place instead of 4th place. Scotland has 3 Europa league places to be taken up. What would scupper it would be St Johnstone win at the weekend as I very much doubt we will catch 3rd place. Relying on an Aberdeen win really

Red dot

Was that a new announcer today? Liked the sound of his own voice! Was wishing he would just stop talking and repeating himself!

.

Bring back the red dots. Would have made this thread much better!

Being a nice guy doesn't make you a good manager

In a competitive game I don't think we've played at Elgin.

Sent you another pm!

Who cares!

I don't think we've even sold 7000 for the final . How do you know this? Wish the club would just say how many have been sold

Sent a pm!

Is there not a thread on that already!

9 I think. Still plenty of space

I don't think anyone knows how many tickets we have sold as the club seem to be keeping it a secret! Probably because it's a lot less than predicted

Wonder if we can get it to chart. County's cup final song got to number 25 in the Scottish charts

There is only 1 answer. Winning a cup is what football is all about. Just wish it was the Scottish Cup. Europe will come one day but many teams histories are defined by cup wins. St. Mirren 87, Motherwell '91, Hearts '98 '06, Killie '97 '12, Partick Thistle '71. These dates roll off the top of my head but who remembers when they finished third in the league and got one or two rounds in Europe? A cup win will be somthing that is remembered and celebrated for decades to come. Many of these teams have special celebrations for the annaversary of their wins. We can join that. Some teams like St. Johnstone have never won a major trophy and other established clubs haven't won one in 30-40 years +

That's you booked on. See you on Sunday!

Seats available on Corriegarth bus to final. Leaving at 8.45 from Corrie. £15 return. Anyone interested then pm me or leave a message here

So players sent off on Wednesday will miss the final!?

Any update on how many tickets we have sold now?

I have a vague recolection of being in the Thistle club when I was 16 before a game. The one and only time I was in there. This would have been in 2001. Did it last long after this, what was the reason for it closing. Would have been good to have another ICT pub in the city centre.

What about the other half of the main stand that we don't have anymore. Surely they can be given that and around to where our allocation starts
