Very true. This final doesn’t count towards anything else so it can be played sometime in the future when all of us can attend. Limiting it to an elite 250 is nonsense.

Depending on how things go, it could be played as a curtain-raiser to the start of next season.  A bit like the Community Shield in England, but classier

According to the pools panel verdict on Off the Ball, Steven Thompson had Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2 Raith Rovers 1  

Our star striker Jordan White must have jumped up at the back post to head in from a James Keatings corner to score the winner

Screamer from Rooney tbf

I wonder if the game will ever be played. I love football and this site is a tonic at these hard times.

Don’t know how to copy the post but I’ve given my thoughts on the serious discussion thread. 

My best man from my wedding 24 years ago is in isolation in Raigmore waiting for his test results. He has underlying health conditions. Makes you realise how close to home this is.

Hope your friend ok Robert. 

Sadly a lot of folk thinking we are immune up here. We are not.

Alan Simpson is immune.  Rumour has it that Covid-19 has had to go into isolation having had contact with him.

Thanks guys, he seems past the worst of it so fingers crossed!

It brings it all home though when you know someone affected in a serious way. 

Stay safe all!

Great news Robert. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery. A close friend of mine was in ICU with this virus. He has underlying issues too. He came home yesterday.

We beat Raith Rovers 3-1 last night.

The result is a dream but the photo is a nightmare.

No one seems to have mentioned this but the P & J reported that the 22nd of November was being looked at as the date for this game although they still need to confirm what ground the game will be played at.

Pittodrie would be roughly equidistant and would facilitate a crowd of six or seven thousand to socially distance which would not be the case at McDiarmid Park.

Aberdeen have sold 9500 season tickets which they claim is the amount they can socially distance in the stadium.

Will this game be played?

[The Mantis]

Would have been pretty confident of winning it last season. Maybe play it next time we're a league above them to make it fair. Obviously most of us will not be alive to see it...

Nope.

Two unbeaten finalists in a national cup competition.

 

We'll be part of a pub quiz question for all time, anyway.

[Jack Waddington]

If Raith get promotion, we deserve to be winners by default as Premiership Sides aren't eligible to play in the cup.
