Think positive.

Aberdeen v Hearts final.

Hearts were formed in 1874 and have never once beaten Rangers at Hampden in their history.

But rangers didn’t exist for the first 138 years of that history, etc.

Made me laugh mate

Which isn't easy 

You mean you're serious when you post your shite on here?

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Hearts were formed 150 years ago.

They’ve never beaten “Rangers” or The Rangers at Hampden.

Ever.

That’s fucking shameful. 

[Watson Oh The Bar! Scanlon Yes!]

I’d call the SFA out, together with Hearts, and offer to scratch both semi finals.

Make them an offer, so the nation gets the final it craves, and more.

Old farm get to play each other 3 times in lieu of both semis and the final to decide the winners of the cup in a best of three.

AFC and HMFC retain ALL net ticket proceeds from the ALL 3 games…..say £1.5m each, plus a quarter share each of the broadcasting revenues, sponsorship and TV rights from all 3 games.

I like your thinking. It's due.

Would rather have got Hearts.

Our record v Celtic is embarrassing & the Tims will have Carter-Vickers, Hatate & McGregor back. Their best 3 players arguably.

 

McGregor could be out for a while, including the semi. Celtic are a shadow of the team when he doesn’t plays.

Spot on . There's no fukin point is there. Aberdeen and Hearts fans spending a lot of money to watch Two rigged semi finals. Enough is a enough.

Clubs saying should be 50:50 split for tickets! Will they never learn the Sfa don’t care what clubs think is fair

Under the current situation and inconsistent form, could we realistically shift 25k tickets?

[The Gee Man]

Should still have the opportunity and give them back if not sold. 

[Dunty]

Look forward to everyone demanding a 50/50 split, then when we get one everyone saying they're not going.

[The Gee Man]

Should we have to demand equal status?

Or folk that never go to any games telling us how shit our support is for not selling out our allocation. 

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

No danger we are selling over 15,000. 
 

think Aberdeen fans have seen enough semi final mailings from Celtic. 
 

it is very annoying seeing folk slagging our support on Facebook though. Then you click on their profile and it’s a Celtic fan from Montrose 

[Dunty]

IF we did get offered a 50/50 split, be interesting to see what the club would do to try and get as many fans to Hampden, and maybe a wee thank you for the shambles of a season.

- pay for buses / petrol?

- football special train?

- subsidise the tickets?

Or just posts lots on Twitter saying "show your support at Hampden"? 

[dave_min]

Is this game available on the firestick?

Aye they are going to pay for petrol.

Hiring a decent manager would stick a couple thousand on the gate at least.

Was there the other day. 

They've got an outdoor washing machine and tumble drier set up going on now. Not something I expected to see at a petrol station in Aberdeen

I'll be amazed if we get remotely close to 15,000 not just because of what you said but also it's a stick on to be a 12.15 kick off and live on council TV. I would imagine no more than 10-12,000

Do viaplay not get both semi finals and the final?

Petrol?

What sort of neanderthal still runs on petrol?

You people sicken me. Do you even have running water in your homes?

They do but they must also share the "lesser" semi with BBC, which I would imagine will be our game as I would think they will see the other game as a bigger game with more of a chance of a competitive game and a possible upset

I've seen us shite it too many times against them, and I can't really be fucked spending a small fortune to do so again but at the end of the day I'm a mug and will probably be there.
