The Run Is Over...

[The Boofon]

I too would rather win the cup than finish 2nd. But we ain't won nothing yet.

 

 

Neither have Motherwell which is kind of the point.

 

Killie have had a pish league season, shit crowds and so on but they're pissing over both us and Motherwell at the moment.

 

Ce la vie.

[RTYD]

I didna say it was just the league, but that's part of it - the league is pish, undeniably.

 

There are also injuries, poor surfaces and a host of other factors in recent times.

 

Are we a poor team is the pertinent question.

 

The answer is no, we are not.

 

So stop all the moaning.

 

The moaners had us beaten before a ball was kicked in last week's QF.

 

The truth of the matter is that even with your improvement on last season, the crowds are woeful. We are not being entertained. End of.

[The Boofon]

Well, this year second place gets a minimum 4 games in Europe, and

[RTYD]

So would I but you still get nothing for 2nd.

 

 

Champions League qualifiers?

Much more of the TV money?

 

 

 

No trophy but you can kick on from second.

[RTYD]

I too would rather win the cup than finish 2nd. But we ain't won nothing yet.

 

 

I certainly get the impression from some that we just have to turn up in the Semi and we are through to the final. Not a chance that it will be that easy.

[barassie_afc]

Am quite sure if we were second under Brown , some people on here would be literally wanking themselves into oblivion and knighting Brown, and I wonder if someone said you get nothing for second what the response would be.......

Far from it.

 

I actually think Hibs will turn us over but crowing about second place regardless of financial benefits is in my mind a loser's mentality.

 

Yes of course it would be great to have a pop at the Champions league (which is a nonsense tournament anyway) but as a fan I want silverware.

 

If I was a member of the board then the money would be an issue.

 

I'm not though so a cup win for me please.

 

Not saying that other people's opinions aren't worthwhile though, just my own preference. Finances mean nothing to me as a fan. It's results that count.

I'm a winner and would never consider 'wanking myself into oblivion' for finishing 2nd, at anything.

[Dynamo]

It's just like Hearts crowing on about the champions league, they qualified for the qualifiers....

 

So they essentially qualified for a pumping, which they were duly dished out.

 

Oh the glory.

Pish you would be on here telling ah kin whit am takin about I told ye aboot Brown......etc etc etc.

Exactly.

 

No open top bus for losers.

 

Win the cup Aberdeen.

[tup]

Correct Dynamo, we will get this much

[Big Stall]

Decent being the operative word.

 

We'll be remembered forever when we win the cup.

 

Thats true, I've got to say if we secure 2nd/3rd, I won't be forgetting the champions league theme getting belted out at Fir Park for a while.

 

 

Which we knocked your no-marks out of.

 

You did, even the sun shines on a dugs arse sometimes!

 

To be fair, your mob did well, overrun the midfield and were the better team in the first half.

 

My problem with the game, nothing to do with Aberdeen, was the corner decision. Not the fact the decision was made, mistakes happen. But the lack of reaction to it in the media, press, phone ins etc. If one of the went out the cup to that it would be WW3, cunts getting bombed, getting sacked etc.

 

None of that should take aways from Aberdeens victory though, i just think it shows another one of the many problems with Scottish fitbaw!

 

We didna try on Saturday.

 

You were shocking on Saturday. Why on earth Brown would play so defensive against a Motherwell team which was missing 5 first team players and had to put out a centre back pairing of a reserve player and a boy from the under 19's was beyond me. Abedeeen should have been going hell for leather against the young inexperienced pairing. Instead the game plan was to sit back and hit Ojamma as hard as Considine and co could manage. Pump a few long balls up to the strikers now and again.

 

Browns post match comments about your keeper only having 1 save to make seem quite strange when you watch the highlights.

[Dynamo]

Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather finish 2nd than 7th

[Stoney]

Correct Dynamo, we will get this much

Oh the glory.

 

They won their first game though so still better than most.

[Dynamo]

They won their first game though so still better than most.

 

Did they? I must be thinking of another team they played then?

 

AEK Athens right?

 

Thought they got beat at Murrayfield 2-0 and 1-0 away. Maybe was UEFA cup.

 

Edit- Just checked, 2-1 loss at home, 3-0 loss away. 5-1 agg.

[sheepiekev]

No point in arguing with tuppence

 

He contradicts himself on so many occasions, and clearly has little knowledge of what he is talking about.

 

And remember folks, he is basing his drivel on 50% of the football he sees.

 

[tup]

 

You could set your watch to this boring cunt ^^^^^^^

[Stoney]

They played one before the athens game dude think it was 3-1 in the away game and 2-1 at home,

[Dynamo]

They played one before the athens game dude think it was 3-1 in the away game and 2-1 at home,

 

 

Ah, NK Siroki Brijeg.

Bosnians.

[The Boofon]

They won their first game though so still better than most.

 

Better than most?

 

Most what?

[Stoney]

Pretty much any scottish team that enters europe.

 

Most get papped in the first round.

[The Boofon]

We don't have any teams that enter the first round.

[The Boofon]

And I'm quite sure if we won the cup then folk would moan about it being a boring game or Fallon getting a game.

 

 

Nah. The kick off time is always a favourite.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

For a bean counter but not for a fan.

 

I couldn't give a fuck if we're 2nd or 11th.

 

1st or a cup.

 

Nothing else will do.

 

Prehistoric and short sighted attitude IMO

[tup]

Prehistoric and short sighted attitude IMO

 

Incorrect.

 

The myopic attitudes are those borne by the money obsessives.

 

They will continue to ruin football until they grasp the fact that different winners every year or two makes or did make football what it is today.

 

If the same teams keep winning the same things every year then football is finished.

 

Remember, it's these clubs at the top and their media allies who put out stories about Motherwell finishing 2nd being a fantastic achievement and how they can look forward to 'money' from the 'Champions League'.

 

The reality is they do not even qualify for the 'Champions League' because the competition is run by the same money obsessives as the league they have just finished 2nd in. They get horsed in a qualifier is the reality.

 

Dinna buy media spin, finishing 2nd, whilst creditable in the sense of the size of the club, amounts to no achievement whatsoever.

 

If we win the cup we are also in Europe which negates that argument.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

To suggest finishing 2nd is just as good as finishing 11th is ridiculous.

Nobody said that.

 

You do however get the same prize - nothing.
