We need to win the Scottish cup

[Davie Weir]

Simple as that, for the season to be any kind of “success” we need to win it. Or at least progress further in Europe to put a positive spin on the season.

But can we really trust this team to get a result on Thursday and Sunday? I hope we can get results but who knows, the way it’s been lately.

Edit: No caps lock this time

 

[RenfrewBear72]

I feel more confident about Thursday than I do Sunday.
Hearts will come flying out the traps and run over the top of that team.

 

[Portals_Bear_Blue]

Yip but I’m struggling to have faith in this lot now

depressing as ever

 

[BritanniaBear]

The way we are currently playing and the clear concerns SG has with our defence I can't see us winning next week

 

[RfcIbrox]

Think we will beat Hearts and semis and final at Hampden will help us. Cup is all that’s left now.

 

[Jackhammer]

I don’t think we will

 

[Now and forever]

Wont mean much to me.

It's ALL about the league.

 

[BunkMoreland]

We won't

 

[top_cat]

I agree, we absolutely need silverware.

 

[Del]

Next week will be the same game on the same kind of pitch - There is every chance we are there on the back of a Euro exit - Alarm bells are ringing for me already.

 

[Woodrow Call]

I was only interested in the league.

The wèek after helicopter Sunday Celtic won the cup. They hardly even celebrated.

That's the way I feel this year.

 

[RfcWATP]

I feel more confident about Thursday than I do Sunday.
Hearts will come flying out the traps and run over the top of that team.

Is that cause we aren’t playing on Thursday?

Nah all joking aside I agree with you won’t be a pretty sight

 

[Coda]

There’s now no option but to win the Scottish Cup. We’re absolutely good enough to achieve it, it’s all down to having the right mentality, and at this point, who knows what team will show up for the cup.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Don’t fancy our chances at the minute.

 

[Jaws II]

By the end of this week the way we are playing our season will be over.
Braga will be favs to beat us and Hearts will smell blood.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

The flippancy and repetition of these posts really gets me.

We're playing shite, and we need to win a cup that we've not won since 2009.

We were saying the same virtually every season since 2016.

 

[ScotiaPapac]

Right now a Scottish Cup win would just be papering over the cracks. That lot are going to win a fourth treble in a row.

 

[Jaws2]

We'll produce a great performance in Portugal to go through.

Then Hearts will bully us out of the Cup on Sunday.

 

[55 and counting]

Hot take as the kids would say.This team will win absolutely nothing.

 

[Carson’s Army]

Scottish cup is a afterthought . League was priority imo.

 

[bluetonic]

I feel more confident about Thursday than I do Sunday.
Hearts will come flying out the traps and run over the top of that team.

Yep if any of our last visits there have told us anything

 

[Truckerman]

Next week will be the same game on the same kind of pitch - There is every chance we are there on the back of a Euro exit - Alarm bells are ringing for me already.

Yeah next week's game will be exactly the same as today and no doubt with the same outcome

 

[Blue Doo]

Right now I have no confidence in winning anything.

 

[madride]

This team at the moment will not beat a likely combination of Hearts Sheep/Hibs/mentally challengeds

They can start by proving me wrong and winning next weekend

 

[Baxter Blue]

Winning the Scottish cup would still be progress after the few years of complete misery.
We need to be practical. Next year is going to be much more difficult because of the differences financially between us and them.

 

[kybear]

At the moment we dont look like we could beat any team never mind a Hearts team that will kick everything that moves and beat us the last time.

 

[Div1872]

Team will need to vastly improve and Hearts on Saturday will be a tough game as they bastards will raise their game

The players just don’t seem capable of winning regularly

Today at 2-1 we should be much better but we seriously have a mentality issue and it’s obvious some of them can’t handle the expectations

Saturday v Hearts is a must not lose game

If we need a replay that’s fine but a loss and the domestic season is over

 

[Jaws2]

It stops them winning 4 trebles in a row - which is frankly unforgiveable - and it's a start.

Right now I'll take it because it's the best case scenario.

 

[Michael Mols]

Don’t think this squad has it in them to win the Scottish cup.

 

[stein and johnston]

Saturday is massive for Gerard. More than Wednesday.

 

[RenfrewBear72]

Is that cause we aren’t playing on Thursday?

Nah all joking aside I agree with you won’t be a pretty sight

Good point lol, that accustomed to playing on a Thursday in Europe tbf

 

[londonbluenose]

Wont mean much to me.

It's ALL about the league.

Same here mate but the league is done

 

[si72]

This team won’t win the SC unless the filth somehow get put out which is highly unlikely

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

I'll always support my team but we are not getting any good signs just now.
Could be a week to forget next week if we aren't lucky and persist with same tactics could be a right tough week.

We really need to somehow win this Scottish cup because no one else will win it apart from the pedos and we look like the only team on our day that can beat them.

 

[dudzo]

I think Gerrard needs to win it and I don’t think we will.

gutted.

 

[Del]

Yeah next week's game will be exactly the same as today and no doubt with the same outcome

Last thing we need is a replay.

 

[Johnoblue]

How anyone can contemplate winning a cup is fkn way beyond me. We have no chance, our defence is fucking shocking. Forget the cups, today I witnessed a display by 2 no central defenders which would not have looked out of place on a public park, were winning fcuk all.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Not a chance in hell. Particularly when the manager is throwing players under the bus. That dressing room has gone.

 

[Resarf]

I dont fancy us for the SC, after European football as long as it may continue, the season will whimper out.

 

[bob1873]

I don’t think we will

Me neither once you ‘must win’ something you rarely do. We’ll bottle it as Hertz will run about and might kick a few Rangers players.

 

[Jaws2]

This team won’t win the SC unless the filth somehow get put out which is highly unlikely

Them we can beat.

It's Hearts that worry me.

 

[Whitburnbear]

we're winning %^*& all this season--Again

 

[Blues and Royals]

I’m not exactly confident about our chances at Tynecastle.

 

[Brother Crockett]

We will win the Scottish Cup. Might get beaten during the week, but with Borna back and two up front we’ll pump Hearts, then bring on anyone.

 

[JD1872]

Not sure this team will make it past tynecastle

 

[ThorntonMM]

I feel more confident about Thursday than I do Sunday.
Hearts will come flying out the traps and run over the top of that team.

We started both league matches against Hearts in a sluggish manner. I expect much the same again next week

 

[Charing]

I find it surprising the amount of posts suggesting the Scottish Cup is small beer. Of course the League is the priority- that's so obvious it's hardly worth stating. But that went weeks ago.
If we don't win the Scottish Cup it means Celtic will. An unbearable consequence. Or so you would think.

 

[Jed jed1]

I just dont see this team going to tynecastle & out battling hearts, hope they prove me wrong but right now I just cant see it

 

[FordRanger]

Been far too long since we won a major trophy the Scottish cup is a must now, progress in Europe would be great aswell

 

[CalgaryLoyal]

If we win the cup it would be the most successful season we have had in 8 years. Would give some players a feeling of what its like to win.
