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.

IMO you'd be wrong to assume as it's 2021 and there's various means to WATCH this possibly historic match.

Enjoy the wireless.

Hopefully we will be in our lucky dugout tomorrow. 

If i am right, we were in the left hand 1 as you come out of the tunnel in 1987 and 2013 and in the right hand 1 in 2010.

My guess would be that we'll be on the west side. That's the side you don't want.

ETA. Sorry. I'm wrong. That would be the bench you do want. Rangers had the west side when we played them in 2010.

It was pretty much word for word as you described it.

I wonder if it was Gary who phoned in. He still owes me a tenner from 1986, must be worth about a ton now.

If we match their energy we will win but that should be a given

The last few weeks we have selected players who can't provide that

There's no point worrying about them as we know their set play strengths

Get in about them and get forward force mistakes

Play them at their own game

Mason, as a fullback worries me

Is that a back 5 or is Mason going to play midfield ?

Looks like a grind it out for pens line up with Cammy and Erharon

9/1 to win on pens.

Looks like 5 at the back

The danger is conceding fouls in our half with this approach

I was hoping Quaner would make it for a late cameo , his speciality at Huddersfield,  not to be !

Back 5 with both Cammy and Ethan in midfield gives me the fear. Basically 3 attacking players in the starting 11 !!!

Out for at least 3 weeks. Medial ligament tweak

Some fakes fans were saying yesterday that the inclusion of Craig Conway gave them the fear , and he was the MoM. There's plenty options on the bench if we need them .

Mason, as a fullback worries me

Potentially playing left mid?
GK- Alnwick
RB- Fraser
CB - McCarthy
CB - Shaughnessy
LB - Tait
RM - Connelly
CM - MacPherson
CM - Erhahon
LM - Mason
CAM - McGrath
ST - Brophy

Bench has a fair few attacking players/strikers. Maybe change it up and go all at it in 2nd half? Trying not to concede 1st half?

4 5 1 ?

[Ronnie 1,274]

Their energy is what worries me they are much more than just a long ball team these days and like you say our team doesn't seem to have that sort of energy

Hopefully the chance to be heroes gives us that extra energy.

That’s what I reckon. Mason on the left of a 5 midfield.
