Even the SFA wouldn’t send us there first day of next Season after that ……Or would they ??? Trophy Day, not Flag Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the distrust from the weegia because there is a chance a foreign manager won't have his team put 10 behind the ball and lose 2-0 in Glasgow while praising everything to do with Celtic and Rangers?

I've not heard anyone I'd normally listen to react with anything other than positivity to the appointment. So, who are the folk this article is railing against? And some of the points are quite weak. Cifuentes, for example, "turning around" QPR's form would be challenged by a lot of QPR fans. They remain a very streaky team, as they were before he went there, and they remain at very real risk of relegation. Stendel, although I don't hold him responsible for it, relegated Hearts. And that's before we encounter the issue of whether Jim Goodwin is Scottish. Not great writing, imo. And I'm not sure what made this a necessary article.

There was a PLZ clip of a few guys saying we should’ve gone for the likes of mackay etc. clickbait stuff. I agree though, the reaction on the whole is pretty positive or at very least intrigue. I don’t think the article is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love him, I don't think we play as well as we did on the ball in the first half with Shinnie in there. Two sides of the coin though as we're probably not dominated in the second half like we were if he's there either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Felt for the Dons also. Often I have said it is less painful to lose heavily to the arsecheeks. I remember when we lost 5-1 to Rangers in a League Semi my friend said are you not gutted. I said no. We were never in the game. If we are going to lose would rather in that fashion than a late late 1-0 or penalties etc. Also love the media asking before the game why Rodger’s is so wonderful and has such a good record at Hampden. Nothing to do with the biggest budget in the league by a country mile (exc Rangers). Funnily enough this is rarely mentioned. Celtic winning cups is like shooting fish in a barrel. They literally have one team that can compete with them on an almost level playing field. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Aberdeen have been a good big game team all season, so not shocked they made a good fist of it today. I actually wouldn't have bet against them in the final against anyone left. Edited April 20 by VincentGuerin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Well played, you put up a good fight there, got some decent players as well, just unlucky, in hindsight, should've been firing deep crosses in earlier, they couldn't cope with it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans heading straight for the exits at the full time whistle tells you how mundane it is for them making a cup final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thenorthernlight Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 What we saw today only emphasised, as if we need reminding, that when you play either side of the arse cheeks, you are playing more than 11 men. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
