It will be shit if one of the usual two wins it instead of Hearts.

Yep, which will obviously happen because football is mostly shit.

It's absolutely guaranteed, just a matter of when Hearts are hauled in.

It’s shit isn’t it but as a long suffering Hearts sympathiser it’s just how it is. However losing to St Mirren isn’t good even with 10 men for 60 minutes.

Always the bridesmaid

Saw bits of the semi final on ITV. There was a very loud fan you could hear on the commentary, which was annoying.

That was the most entertaining thing about the match!

5 live this morning "Man City take on an injury hit Newcastle tonight". Don't remember us being so reported.

So did Paddy McGuiness on Inside the Factory, but that doesn't mean he is a great TV presenter!
