Parklife Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Just now, BlueGaz said: There will be absolutely loads of fans don't watch it because its not their team / have other things to do / many other reasons. Bit naive to think that every Scottish football fan will want to watch it. For many, its nowhere near the biggest match of the season. I will watch it, but its certainly not the biggest match of the season for me - far from it. We all "have other things to do" ffs Maybe i just care more about football than other folk. It's the biggest match of the footballing season in Scotland. It just sounds pathetic for someone to say "i'm not watching because i don't want to see Celtic win the treble". Sounds like the words of a petulant child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% certain that you care more about football than other folk. Football fans sounding like petulant children, hmm, now theres a thought, that doesn't happen very often 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For info, while I more than likely wouldn't watch it anyway, I've just spent a week away from my wife so my "better things to do" will involve going out for lunch with her and spending a bit of quality time. Hopefully that's a good enough excuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just expressing an opinion that i think it's strange that a Scottish football fan wouldn't watch a Scottish Cup Final and say it's because they don't like one of the teams. Let alone say they don't have an interest in the game. We all have differing opinions, i'm as entitled to express mine as you are to express yours. We don't have to agree. No need to spit the dummy.

Maybe not alluding to people being "sad" and "pathetic" for not agreeing with your opinion would help you get it across though. Nice edit on your earlier post BTW...

Jim Beem Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Cant remember the last time I didn’t watch our cup final. Going back to when I was a wee boy. Not watching it hasn’t even been on the radar. Some fond memories of a number of games, for a number of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My team has only been in one in my lifetime, going by some I should have no interest in it but I really enjoy watching them. Went to Hearts-Hibs as a neutral and it was some day.

I'm not saying that anyone neutral shouldn't have an interest or shouldn't watch. Just that I won't be watching as there's other things I'd rather be doing. I was at the St Mirren/Utd Cup Final as a neutral in '87 and to this day it's one of the best football days out I've ever had! Granted I was only 10 but it was still a cracker!! Revently however the Scottish Cup has held little appeal for me if Rangers aren't in it (which is a LOT). No biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Some send off for the Motherwell team coach as it left fir park this afternoon.... https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/flares-cheers-belief--motherwell-12557298 So refreshing not having a manager with a defeatist attitude spend the full week talking up our rivals, possibly setting ourselves up for a massive let down, but I don’t remember a buzz like this for previous finals, everyone seems to feel we have something about this team, and we can do it.

Stuart McCall had us beaten before a ball was kicked. There was a buzz for the final, but nothing like this. Steven Robinson has only talked about what we can do and barely mentioned Celtic, much like Barraclough did in the build up to the play off v Rangers. Theres a lot to be said for a manager from outside the bubble of Scottish football. and Stevie Hammell in midfield. 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
