4th round Scottish Cup

[kkong]

fair enough, my point was that a lot o folks (including here) are harping on aboot the Scottish Cup being the only thing left to play for, yet the crowd was approx. 5000 doon on Partick, Motherwell, Hibs etc never mind the ****e or Euro games.
Yes KO 12:15, yes TV but neither of these in my opinion can be used an excuse.

First game in a month, nice day (we live in Scotland) playing a non SPL team who I always thought would come and try to play.
so how important is the Scottish Cup to the supporters?

Attendances at this stage of the Scottish Cup are never great.

Not on season ticket, cold weather, TV coverage all contribute to this, it's not going to change any time soon.

A little harsh I think.
Sure it took 20 mins or so to settle down but did St Mirren really trouble us after that? A new partnership I suppose.
Reynolds also did well to get back and block Cammy’s (I think) Square ball after Shinnie and Considine were caught out from the back heel down the St Mirren right.

Thing is, who plays on Wednesday as our two CH’s?

Disagree it was harsh. I genuinely thought that both centre half's were absolutely brutal. Saw no communication between them, not one of them wanted to take control and I also noticed that Reynolds at times was caught between men and not really marking anyone in particular.

I may be wrong but was it Reynolds who was ball watching at the St Mirren goal when the striker reacted ten times quicker to Lewis's save??

Wasn't impressed at all.

That said we won at a canter and could have added even more.
