manc_don Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Felt a bit like destiny given how few occasions we’ve actually met them at hampden (3?), but half of me still thought we’d land Celtic as per. Are we expecting attendance fc to request a 60:40 split? anyway, hopefully it’ll be a decent time of day, it is over Easter weekend though. Read some saying they’d be happy for a smaller louder crowd rather than more dandies. Not sure I quite agree but can understand the rationale. This is a bloody good opportunity to make the final, hope we take it. Quote
Jute Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Anyone any idea when they will confirm the date and time? Quote

The 86 final and the 96 semi. We did meet in a League Cup semi in 1947 where Aberdeen handed them a 6-2 shellacking, but that was at Easter Road. 1 Quote

I listened to it on the radio, as I was in Aviemore on holiday, which I can only assume was arranged before we got to the semi. I would have had a season ticket at the time, but can't remember for the life of me why I wouldn't have arranged to go. I'd have thought I'd have at least watched on the telly, but maybe the place I was didn't have one. I have it in my head that Robertson cheated for the winner? I've probably just assumed that. I don't think I've ever seen highlights of the match. Edit: I was probably pished Edited March 13 by RicoS321 Quote
Reekie_Red Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Thr media loved Robertson, same goes for Colin Cameron. Robertson was a whinging knobend who flapped at the ref until he got his way. And Cameron, whilst relatively handy, was waaaay overrated and was quite righly put in his place by the gar superior Paul Bernard on both players' comeback games at Tinkcastle Quote

It was a shot from the edge of the box that snuck in if memory serves. Quote

I don't really recollect much about that '96 semi final. There is little doubt I was completely pished. 3 Quote

All 3 goals were late and neither Rousset or Watt covered themselves in glory for any of them Quote

BigAl Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 There you go folks but be warned the quality is shite, a bit like our crowd on the day. Fully expect Hearts to bring this up as grounds for them to receive a bigger share of the tickets than us 1 Quote

Panda Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Lunchtime kick-off confirmed. Both clubs, SFA and police wanted 3pm on Saturday without any TV coverage, but on behalf of @goldie03 we fought hard for a lunchtime KO. Have also convinced ScotRail not to put on any extra trains, and transport Scotland have agreed to begin roadworks that weekend. 3 Quote

Of course there will be roadworks and rail replacement buses Quote

Doesn't need to be all day, just during the drive down and the match itself. 2 Quote
Panda Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 All the tickets for this are to be digital. You've to download the Hampden Park app to get your ticket. It's how it works for Scotland games and is relatively straightforward once you get the hang of it, but I can see large queues at the turnstiles while folk who don't like technology wave their phone about confused.

Jute Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Getting some of the Luddite’s I get ticket for to download an app is going to be fun. Know a couple who don’t even have a smart phone. 1 Quote
