Double Helping

What were the SFA thinking when they decided that a draw after 90 minutes in the Scottish Cup Semi Final would go to a replay? The English FA realise it's stupid having a replay so what's the problem with their Scottish counterparts?
Rather than going to extra time and then penalties to decide a winner on the day, I now have to go back to Hampden a week on Tuesday to watch a replay. The crowd for yesterday's snooze fest of a 0-0 was 25,000 which is less than half the capacity of the stadium. Bearing in mind ticket prices were between £22 to £25 with travel cost and beer money on top of that, how many of these fans will be willing to repeat it on a Tuesday night? I'd be surprised if the crowd is more than 15,000 which means there will be a very poor atmosphere.
If it has to be a replay it would make more sense to either have it at the weekend so that more fans can go or have it at another ground, perhaps somewhere like Tynecastle which is easier for both sets of fans to get to and there is more chance of a sell out.
Of course Hibs are partly to blame for this. If they hadn't played so badly or actually looked like scoring then we may have won the game and there would be no need for a replay. As it is, the Hibs fans have to fork out yet again to follow the team. This after a week where the prima donna players have complained that they are getting worked too hard in training. They should try being a fan for a change.
I'm actually tempted not to go in a no doubt ineffectual one man protest against the SFA's lack of common sense and the Hibs players lack of respect for the fans. However it's more than likely that I will go. It's is the Scottish Cup Semi Final after all, we are only one game away from the Final which means European qualification and Hibs being one step closer to breaking our hoodoo. Let's just hope there is a big improvement in the performance next week.
