LEAGUE CUP FINAL: St Johnstone v Livingston, Hampden Park, 28 Feb 2021

[Melbourne Saint 244]

Here we go... Didn't see much between Midden & Livi. Clearly well disciplined at back. In the run up to the final, who have Livi & Saints got? Do Livi have a game in hand to play? Hopefully so....

Our last game before final is Celtic which is not ideal and I think we also play Livi again before final.

Feb 20th is Scottish cup weekend. We'll either be playing Dundee in the delayed 3rd round game or, I imagine, we'll bring the Hamilton game forward from the 27th. 

We have Livi on Feb 6th.

I’ve had my vaccine let me go to the final please haha

Do teams usually have a cup final kit for league cup or only Scottish cup.

[Wendy Saints 844]

Who would have thought at the start of the season amidst the chaos that is Covid we would be in the final of a National trophy.

Sometimes I think we as fans are too hard on our ‘wee’ team, if you look back at our latest stint in the SPL it has indeed been a purple patch.

I think we are lucky to have an honest hard working team who will hopefully find success on the 28th.. I know I’m a pessimistic Saints fan but it’s only the 3rd time in our history we’ve managed to reach the final and would you believe we won’t see it in the flesh so to speak. It won’t dull my excitement tho... so COYS you can do it..

Yeah, although that was just our regular away kit with a bit of extra 'League Cup Final' embroidering on it. Not like the entirely new kit design we wore for the Scottish Cup Final.

Gosh the seethe out there from the fans of the powerhouses of scottish football that saints and livi have the audacity to be in the final with our small fan base, those serial underachievers really need to consider why their clubs never reach the heights............

Curse us with our small fanbases - we're going to make that empty stadium look ridiculous.

I've had the vaccine because I'm a frontline hero.

 

I'd like a stand all to myself please,Ms Sturgeon.

Wouldn't it be great if we could get even 500 of each support at either end of the ground. Socially distant of course.

I noticed the midden manager was at Hampden  watching our game which I found a bit strange under current rules.

Probably stayed on after a disciplinary meeting.

[SaintJet 669]

I laughed at Tam Cowan on the radio yesterday.

"St. Johnstone have been in touch with Neil Lennon and said" - " Neil, you know how we have pokey wee dressing rooms - well our Trophy Cabinet is no much better - can we borrow yours?" Brilliant!

[SaintJet 669]

We need to start planning how we can show our support for the team prioir to the cup final. 

It would be a stretch to imagine that we would be allowed to line up around the car park to see the team bus off but I was thinking could we be allowed to pin up messages on the fence around the astro pitches opposite the Stadium? The players could see these before departing. Just an idea. Please pitch in with any ideas.

Like we have here with Cleveland Browns, maybe have a tailgate with TV's or a big screen outside Hampden? Be just small 'family' groups, no mingling, just drive up with car, bevvy it up, bit of fun and then when we win, players can do a wee drive around the tailgate parking lot with the cup and you can throw bottles at the bus, shoot off fireworks and jump onto tables....https://youtu.be/tJ4sRXVkEhU , ok, maybe a stretch....  

How about a car convoy to the stadium of saints fans with flags and sh*t hanging off cars.... driving with the team bus? 

Will they allow our flags (and expat flag!) to be draped across seats in the fan sections?

(Cleveland Browns - great fans! They have to be - like us Jets.)

NO way would tailgate be allowed. I don't think you realise how restrictions are being enforced back here.

I doubt we would be allowed to have fans congrugate anywhere near the stadium or even at McD but I guess ther will still be some presence locally in Perth.

The next 2 teams that the clubs play are allowed to send representatives to the match. There is also so many scouts of clubs allowed

Robert Thomson came up with a PR stunt that saints should have done with either brogan or super Saint out with a measuring tape in the away dressing rooms
