gilberto Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Both please. I was too young to appreciate it properly when we won in 1987. Also, my favourite season was 1999/2000. Not that I'm greedy or anything..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Remember, it's just a daft hypothetical game for a wee distraction. A magic wand type of choice, as someone suggested. Oh in that case, the ‘Challenge ( Mickey Mouse ) Cup’ trumps these two. Did we play in that this season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambud Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 This season League.... though actually... nah f**k it..win the Cup. My reasoning is that seasons of winning the Championship are a lot more enjoyable than avoiding relegation and a lot more frequent than winning Cups. The best thing about being in the Premier is that you can pull together a squad that might win a cup, so win the Cup this year and challenge for promotion next season would be glorious. But aye magic wand I'd take both. [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Ross must have been playing this daft wee HYPOTHETICAL GAME when preparing for the infamous Raith Rovers disaster. We are a Full Time Professional Club Should be 100% every competitive match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Winning the cup all the way. Winning the championship is great of course, but the best thing about being in the top league for a team like us is that it gives you a much better chance of winning a cup. You can sign much better players, and winning a cup is basically the pinnacle for a club like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 My interest in today's match is more a gauge as to how far we've come under Jack. While a defeat of the Dons would be fantastic the league must take precedence. I'm all for a good cup win with all that it brings in terms of finance and confidence but, when push comes to shove, give me an old fashioned league win parade through Paisley any day.

Dave The Buddie Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 League all day for me. A cup run is just a bonus.If we go up we can test ourselves against the countries best every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I suggest that ? Every Football team should give 100% whether they are full time, part time, junior, amateur or whatever. Presently, we are full time. If we were anything else, I would still expect 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lot of shite. How is today's cup tie disturbing our league push ? Our last league game was last Saturday and our next is Friday. We don't play both on the same day. Normally a week apart. People just don't get it. Sheep who can't think for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I appreciate all the responses to my OP. As (almost) everyone realised, it was just a bit of fun, and, despite shull's typically crude and moronic efforts to make it all about him - there's a surprise - it has been a good read. I'm looking forward to the game today, but on account of where we're sitting in the league, it has a bit of a feel of the sideshow. All that will change come midday, if course. COYS!

It takes us to a round where we might meet the likes of Celtic where our chances diminish more. It would be absolutely fantastic if beating the sheep guaranteed a cup win but it won't. All I'm indicating is that, for me, getting out of this league, in the right direction, is more important. The parade would be indicative of where we were as a club. ETA. I will celebrate a win if it happens and support the team as much as anyone. And I would dream about that cup parade. But I still believe the benefits for the club are greater if we can establish ourselves in the highest league possible.

norman Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I just think winning the Scottish cup is the big one for us. I was only 7 when we won it the last time and I just think it would be amazing to do it again in my lifetime. I've seen us win this league twice, and it's great, but the Scottish cup is the big one, especially with European football the next season. We will win the championship at some point in the future, but will we ever win the Scottish cup again? Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
