Livingston v St Mirren League Cup Semi Final 24/1/21

[RichardBuddie 522]

Went to my first Semi Final in 1971.
Not missed one since.
Shame the fans can't get in today.
 

I’m pretty gutted about not being able to go today with my boy, the excitement would have been immense.

A nice day, comparatively speaking. 

Clear and sunny, although cauld.

The 4pm kick off is a bit of a weird one (appreciate it’s the tv slot), good point about being cold, it would have been absolutely Baltic today in the stands!!

Aye, by that time any slight temperature increase would have been long gone.

I always think of Hampden as being quite a warm ground. Been to umpteen Scotland and Saints games there and can’t say I ever remember being cold.

Murrayfield on the other hand. Brrrrrr.

I think it'll be cauld today. The sun will have about gone by kick off, not sure about Glasgow but it's barely to get above freezing here today.

Never mind, I'll be toasty. 👍

You must have been up early to have that finished by now.👏👏👏

Haha.... yea. Not a big effort but it certainly entertained my daughters for all of 2 mins. 
 

7:30am my 3yr old daughter wakes me ‘daddy - it’s football day’. It’s really great to have a day like this in the current climate.

BBC pre match report

Nightmare for him, and us. I think he’d have been a good option from the bench today. And an unknown quantity.

Let’s hope he’s back soon.

That may be due to alcohol intake.

I remember the 14th April 1984.

The time for common sense and reasoned analysis has passed, it's time to get your Saints head on and send positive vibes to our guys...

COYS!

Might not be to far off except for us scoring two

That my friend is a fair point well made. 😃

Eventually - waited 30 minutes on the phone yesterday to virgin with no joy, so did it manually, no discount I’m afraid but it’s in, watching Italian football now!!

I luckily (after alot of moaning in my part) paid £9.99 per month for 6 months of Premier Sports in October so my Celtic supporting "friend" could watch their Scottish Cup Semi Final v Aberdeen then St Mirren v Morton, Aberdeen, Rangers & now Livingston is exclusive to Premier Sports so worked out ok.

Hopefully get to watch 1 more match on it end of February (although led to believe Final is on BBC too).

About to have a massive lunch, then off to get showered/shaved, need to feel good, get the Zoom connections checked, get the bevvy organised and settle down about 3:30.

I hope Goodwin emphasises this is a chance to get a step nearer to being history makers.

If the players can't give their all today we're busted.

Take us back to the Aberdeen/Rangers form, start on the front foot, not sitting back trying to contain them, that's not how we won the Rangers game.

The last few games have been tragic, no pace, no pressure on the other teams, just insipid. 

At least give it a go and let's see what happens.

If Goodwin sets them up the way he does at Ibrox or Parkhead we are f**ked, fear of god in the players in those games!

That's why you get so angry during the game. 

I’ve found a bet to manage my gametime anger. I’ve neither bet on us, nor against us 👍

[Stevo 183]

Decided to take the plunge and took out a Premier Sports subscription. Here’s hoping I need to extend it for another month. COYS

My bet is it'll not work. 😂

[Ronnie 1,275]

Imo the first 2 parts to that bet are spot on 10 corners is a hit or a miss can never predict that.

I did this bet yesterday for the other semi. Missed out by one card and 2 corners. Was a decent wee bet though. Got a good run for my money.

You should have asked antrin if you should put money on it, he watched it yesterday.

Despite the few on here advertising their largesse via paying for tv deals and turf accountants holidays, I assume the vast majority will be relying on radio coverage. I do think it’s pretty mean that bbc have no intention to screen even highlights of a national cup semifinal. Likely splashed all their budget on the English cup as ever. As for the game, Saints have confounded most by eliminating Aberdeen and Rangers but can’t see it today. Probably less awful to lose a semifinal than suffer against our perennial nemesis from Perth. Good luck anyhow later.
