ChutneyLove Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I see McNamara is complaining again - saying his player didn't deserve to get sent off. Fuck off Jackie, he grabbed a player by the throat right in front of the ref. McNamara is fast becoming the person I least like in Scottish fitba. He needs to learn to lose gracefully. He also needs to lay the blame for the loss closer to home - if the smelly Turk hadn't lost his sense of discipline and been sent off, United would very likely be in the semi-final draw. Where are the semis going to be played? I'd be happy with Inverness at Tynecastle. Link to comment
Robbie Winters Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 1900 tickets sold so far. That is superb from the fans.There is a chance that there will be more Dandies make the effort tonight than the paltry 2,133 that turned up at Inverness last night. Snekky does not deserve a top flight teamCannot make it myself but COYR. Link to comment
tup Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Mcnamara has that warped tattie muncher mentality where it's never your own fault. I hate the cunt. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Celtic gone earlier in the competition and now our recent nemesis Dundee United gone too... maybe the stars are finally aligning! Link to comment

If you think we'll win, we'll get beat. Nothing surer. Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hampden's getting fixed for the LGBT games or something, so they are looking for another venue. I would suggest Harmsworth Park might be a decent venue? Link to comment
tup Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Aye, if it's Caley against Morton the Harmsworth would cope no bother. Link to comment
csdonz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Is there going to be commentary or a stream for tonights game?Gutted I can't go due to work but don't want to miss the game completely! Contemplating signing up to RedTV! Link to comment
scoutman70 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Heading down tonight, decided late last night. Where's best to go for away fans for a pre match pint? Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 this is the biggest game since the SF defeat by Hibs, I fancy it to go to penalties as for the side as long as it contains Robbo , Flood and Jack in the starting line up we'll do ok. Link to comment

Karl Fletcher Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Nervous as fuck about tonight. I doubt we'll have a better chance to finally end the cup drought. Come on Aberdeen!! Link to comment

It's a really tough draw. We've fucked up with easier ones many times. There'll be a massive over reaction if we lose. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's a really tough draw. We've fucked up with easier ones many times. There'll be a massive over reaction if we lose. Is it possible to over react to 18-odd years without a trophy? I lot of people are going to be very, very upset. The longer this drought continues, the worse it's going to get. Link to comment
Guest Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Since Copernicus postulated the heliocentric model for our solar system in the early 1500s, further supported by Gallileo in the early 1600s and since proven with modern observation techniques, it is plain to see that the Sun doesn't rise anywhere. What you are witnessing is an illusion apparent only to those standing on the orbiting, rotating Earth. I think The Dons will win. Think you'd better break that bad news to the Japanese then... they seem to think they are the Land of the Rising Sun. Link to comment
Site Sponsor RTYD Posted October 30, 2013 Site Sponsor Share Posted October 30, 2013 A tough game tonight and hopefully a win. Players should be in right frame of mind so fingers crossed. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's this manager and group of players (well some of them) first chance to win a trophy - and it'll be them who get the brunt of the reaction if we don't win, whatever the circumstances. It doesn't matter how many attempts have been made. It will not alter the fact that, as supporters, we've suffered years of heart break. With Dundee United and Celtic knocked out, and Rangers FC dead, there has never been a better opportunity since we last won a trophy. If we lose tonight and supporters want to fly off the handle - then they are entitled to do so IMO. If we lose it's going to hurt. Really badly. Some folk handle these circumstances better than others. For those who don't handle it well... I can understand and I can sympathise. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm pretty nervous about this match. We are definitely capable of winning this game, but we're very much capable of producing a stinking performance and getting beat, although this season we're a difficult team to beat so there won't be much in it if we do lose. I'll go with 2-1 to the Dons. (McGinn and Vernon) Link to comment

If we play well and are unlucky then would be extremely harsh. if we are really shit like Hibs last season, fill your boots. Anyway, hopefully we play well and win, and everyone will celebrate.

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Both teams are more than capable of winning it. I think the winners will be huge favourites to win the cup. No shame in losing at Fir Park in the last few years.... by fuck I hope we win it though!! Link to comment

Some folk handle these circumstances better than others. For those who don't handle it well... I can understand and I can sympathise. This is not the correct mindset to have though. It doesn't matter how many years have passed since we last lifted a trophy or had that sweet taste of success in our life. It doesn't give us any right to have more expectations, just because it's been 18 years, same as it doesn't matter if it's 8 years or 80 years. The more pressure that is applied to the team, the management, the board etc, from the fans, just makes it more difficult to achieve that success. To be honest, no one denies that a team of our standing in Scotland should have gone for this long without winning something. But the game, the competition, should be isolated from anything that has gone on in the past, and to use an old cliche, we should just treat this as a 'one game at a time' situation, and forget about winning the trophy. The players, most of whom were just knee high to a grass hopper when we last lifted a trophy, should have a desire to succeed for themselves, for their families, and for the club. But being driven (haunted) by the ghosts of Roy Aitken, and our subsequent plethora of failed managers and past players, should be parked to one side. Forget the past, and let's focus on the here and now. I'm sure that's what McInnes will be saying to his players tonight in any case. 90/120 mins in which to win a game of football.... that's the ONLY things that should be paramount in their minds.
