Looking at the club’s Twitter feed, there’s a banner in the Market. I was in town yesterday and didn’t see anything that would have told me we have one of our biggest ever games coming up. There’s a free 24 page souvenir programme available from the club shop.

I’m nervously excited but expected there to be more chatter here.
-
I’d love that prediction to come true! Looking very likely it is their Manager’s last game too.
-
Did they make a mistake starting with a 16 year old in such a big game?
-
There’s a serious lack of excitement about the final. Is that because we are resigned to losing? For anyone wanting a repeat dose of nostalgia, BBC Scotland is repeating the story of our 2015 triumph and also Ballistic tomorrow night.

Kane Hester, the apparent ring leader, has his case with the SFA in the middle of June. I wonder if Shane’s hearing is imminent too.

Two of the winners, Cameron Harper and Nathan Shaw, are at the start of their career. Imagine the boost their confidence would have got receiving their awards on the pitch at the end of the Ayr game. Whilst Billy Mckay is an experienced pro, he also deserved to receive his awards on the pitch in front of the fans. Whilst that match had a disappointing outcome, it was also our chance to applaud the full squad and let them know they have our backing for the final. It may also be the difference between some deciding to stay and deciding to move on. Not the club’s finest hour!

To be honest, I was surprised he was not snapped up last summer after being linked with St Johnstone in the January 2022 transfer window. I feel that’s why we brought Delaney in last summer.
-
I agree. I only mentioned it in case it was something I had inadvertently done. They were only a minor inconvenience so no concerns from me if they are reinstated.
-
Thanks tm4tj, just a pity it wasn’t done at full time on 5 May. Did the club assume we’d be in the play offs when they set the closing date of 12 May? All my choices were the fans’ winners.

When I go into a forum for the first time in any session I’m getting a full page ad. When I press x to exit the advert it takes me to the post I had clicked on. The most frequent advert is for Benidorm holidays. Very spooky as friends have just returned from there. Big brother is listening as well as watching!! Only a minor inconvenience, but not sure if it’s something I’ve done or whether it is happening to others too.

I read it as the prize money for getting to the league positions and rounds in the cup only, so any share of gate receipts will be additional and, with 50,000 there on Saturday and a quarter share of the 50,000 at the Old Firm semi, even after the SFA cut it should be a very decent sum that we get. Given our financial situation, it is very welcome. The club is pushing ticket sales again so we must have quite a lot of our allocation still to sell: https://ictfc.com/scottish-cup-final-ticket-information-general-sale-info-3/

Interesting link to prize money win by clubs this season. It highlights the gulf between the top league and the rest, but we’ve made £500k from the cup run and get £60k more should we miraculously win it: https://twitter.com/SPFLWatch/status/1662915622781452291?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1662915622781452291|twgr^b8442480fb1d58caaba01ad89b88e69bac1253cb|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fitbanorth.com%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D2t%3D9454start%3D1860

Judging by the first 35 minutes today, their holiday is over and they are back in the mood. They are murdering Aberdeen just now. Fortunately I will be at The Gathering by the time the second half starts so spared any more previews of what we are facing next week! However, it is a one off game and anything can happen on the day, so hope remains!!
-
I think they’ve been playing some fringe players, especially in defence, but that’s 1 point out of 9. I’d be amazed if they don’t start their strongest 11 for the final and they must know we’ve turned them over in cups before. We’ve nothing to lose. It’s a one off match and if our players are all up for it and luck goes our way, you just never know…… I’m travelling in hope rather than expectation and, as others have said, hope the players enjoy the occasion and we don’t get a battering.
-
Yes. That’s been confirmed in the SC build up thread. Unlikely but doesn’t stop us hoping and dreaming!
