I care more about the Scottish Cup final than the English one. Hibernian have been in 10 Scottish cup finals since 1902: they've lost them all. They probably deserve to win one today.

At the end of my tether
Tea time kickoff has ruined it anyway... Why would I miss a nice meal with the family just to watch Man. U v Palace ?
T V rules, I guess ... But this viewer won' t jump their tune..
Now "sponsored by Emirates" so it has lost it's uniqueness. Soon it will just be the "sponsored" Cup... :annoyed:

Why the tea time kick off, we've got rid of it clashing with the PL. What else is it clashing with, there's nothing else on except the Scottish Cup Final.

Are they deliberately trying to destroy this competition?

It's because they get higher viewing figures for tea-time kick-offs, simple as.

The fact that it is another small thing that diminishes the tradition of the competition and lessens its appeal seems to escape them.

Not higher in the UK surely? My only assumption is they pick up west coast USA, all the wrong reasons. Hate the way TV is just ruining the game

This mentality is unstoppable? The same mentality which saw 2 league wins since January and dropping from 5th to 15th, seems quite stoppable to me.
