Scottish Cup Semi Final

[Brimcbhoy]

Aberdeen v Hearts final would upset the SFA money men. See how much they could sell that for. It would almost be worth losing for.

Hearts are playing well this season even gave Celtic a hard game we have said in the past that they lay down for thier cousins across the City thier boss would be quite happy to do that but don’t think thier supporters are going to be happy if that happens, I’m sure that the ref and VAR will be loaded to help the other lot can see it now Ref Beaton followed by Dallas in the VAR room nothing surprises me anymore

In what sense? We got the easier draw

The sfa and sponsors clearly want an us v Sevco final

There hasn't been one since 2002 so probably well overdue

Someone has to say it, and it has to be me I suppose. Celtic have never played theRangers in a Scottish Cup Final before...!

Our game being shown live on BBC 1 Scotland as well as ViaPlay

At least this year we get to play the first semi so don't have to suffer a cut up pitch that makes it difficult to play decent football on.

 

[Gary67]

Aberdeen asked for 50/50 ticket split but have been allocated 19,000. This was based on uptake of tickets at previous semi finals.

5.30pm kick off would have been better, same as they have done for the League Cup semis in recent years but its also FA Cup semi final weekend so they may have one of their games live at that time on BBC or ITV

50/50 ticket split for the other semi final. Q hun-rage!!!

I can't see the sheep being too outraged about that...the Huns however

The Glasgow expression about 'yer eyes being bigger than yer belly' seems appropriate here and the Scottish FA will do all it can to make sure that both semi-finals are filled to capacity.

They won't sell 19k...it's just grandstanding from Aberdeen FC..... clearly

Yes, reading comments from their supporters some reckon they'll struggle to sell 10k. Can see Celtic getting a section of the west stand as well as the east and north

 

[The Shamrock]

Will the mini huns want to travel to Hampden when they already know their team won't be winning?

 

[Gary67]

Apparently Aberdeen were offered a 50/50 split of the tickets but had to pay for their allocation whether they sold them or not. Hearts were offered the same deal and agreed to it. Aberdeen are just grandstanding by creating a grievance to try to win favour with their own supporters. They knew they couldn't sell 22,000 tickets.

They won't want to miss the sing along with their jaffa counterparts from Govan
