Topic: Grounds for optimism
1. Author:  Ronaldo

I can understand a few heads going down after Friday/Saturday, but there are surely some grounds for optimism this weekend.

It`s rare chance to see us in a Scottish Cup final (I just missed out on `68) and I`m really looking forward to it.

So could I start the ball rolling with ... we`ve yet to concede in 300 minutes against Premiership opposition this season.

Any other reasons we should travel in hope?

The winners of the tie between Aberdeen and Dunfermline went on to win the Cup last year...

I had forgotten the QOS game when we were walking back to bus after the semi. Looks like I’m not the only one lol

Good point! - I’d forgotten about that game….


Okay: We’ve scored all the goals in our cup run including the oppositions!

You’ve seen the Pars now please go home!

Ox is set to return to the squad so he`ll play if fit.

--------------------------

This and the fact that our defence has been good in the cup games so far are the only grounds for optimism posted so far.

Another is - Jerry, Kieran, Charlie, Nuru and Chris Kane will all play if fit.

We`ve got a decent looking first eleven - not suffered any more disastrous injuries since Zak and Olly were crocked.

Our forwards have received some harsh lessons lately in the need to take chances, which should help to sharpen their wits when they`re next faced with a sight of goal.

It` s the last game of the season, so our players can go flat out knowing they can relax on the physio`s couch with big cigars afterwards!

I`m quite optimistic. Anything can happen in a one off game.

Everyone in the UK, bar Celtic fans, want us to win.

I`m pretty sure the majority of Raith and Falkirk fans are supporting us.

I had this conversation with my rangers work colleague today, and he was saying that, according to him, they would rather be in the ecl than have celtic win the double. Reckoned they could win it 🤣🤣

Somebody bring me up to speed... What have Hibs got against us? Other than us beating them earlier in the comp?
