[thurso]

Not a bad half. Neither team creating much but got to get the balls to the strikers feet more.

Kiss of death here but get to half time not losing. 

phew, jinx averted

Very little in this, one goal may well win it. Longer it goes the more I fear VAR.

Sokler becoming more and more indistinguishable from Miovski every time I see him play. He has some really clever play combined with good ball control.

yeah Sokler is surprising me with his lovely touch and control at times. I agree it's like having a Miovski and a proto-Miovski up front. This is not a bad thing. 

But yeah Shinnie needs to be swapped out at half time. Who do we have on the bench to swap for Hayes? Is McGarry there? 

Also someone needs to calm Ruby down. 

[Oregon Red]

scrappy half, but a couple of changes at half time and we have a great chance. Devlin my man of the match so far.

Absolutely. We need to keep our hands to ourselves in the area. How they got away with one in the area I don't know 

[minijc]

We're doing fine here but Shinnie needs to get a grip otherwise he'll end up getting sent off, can't trust that prick of a ref.

[GAME OF BILLIONS]

Don't let this drag on into a turgid extra time.

Go for broke and try and win it in in normal time.

Ruby wears his heart on his sleeve... love his commitment if not his routine rash behavior.

World Class in the making.

[McPhee123]

As predicted, Hayes and Shinnie miles off it. So so slow to react, sloppy passes, not the players they once were.

Thanks for your service but kindly do the right thing and retire from football at half time.

Secvo are there for the taking, COYR

Yeah we need to keep our hands to ourselves. Clearly doesn’t apply to that little rent boy Cantwell.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Polvara to attack or Barron to sit?

[Zander1903]

Our 2nd Half's are better

There's only gonna be 1winner now

 

Coyr!!!!

[milne_afc]

I’d give Shinnie 5 minutes to pick up a worthwhile booking then sub for Polvara

[KidCreole]

im having a paradoxical effect from the imported heineken , Anxiety building no euphoria 

[Donstar83]

Need to be better on the ball. 

[Arthur FN Shelby]

It’s almost like the semi, Hibs all possession, we did nothing in first half. Second half scored one goal. Repeat please.

Derek Adams is demanding fans get Thier money back

[strachanmcgheegoal]

as expected the radio is going full Derek Adams.

Its not difficult.  Sevco have purchased a certain type of player that can play the shitey football the best.  Celtic have now complied by giving up on the relatively exciting (if depressing) Angeball and are now complaining that their 4 foot 4 nips aren't the best at the shitey aerial football.

This is true. Sometimes the difference between 1st half Dons and 2nd half Dons is night and day, it's a unique phenomenon!

[Yorston Vasey]

Yet more evidence to vindicate Derek Adams's comments, this has been shit.

Not going to disagree. I reckon he could well become a really good player. Right now he's a prospect but far too bloody excitable and prone to do rash things. Hence, someone needs to calm him down.

[TopDon]

Dante & The Washington whips to win the Robsonbowl.

[virtualmontana]

Barron for Shinnie

Polvara for Gartenman

Duk later

[Helmet]

Referee has been pretty balanced over the 45 mins.

Hopefully I can still say that after the end of the game.

[Dons79]

Had chances to break on them a few times but final ball garbage, balls in the air too much, no quality, can see this decided by a set piece, hopefully not get fucked by VAR, just waiting on it as the Huns look like they need help, cause they’re shit.

come on the good guys, blow them away second half

Find it sad when favourite players don’t know when times up. Hayes now compared to few years back like night and day. As for Shinnie, he can still do a 45 minutes. His form though is up and down.

Being biased in a cup final is a trickier thing. More eyeballs on ye...

Surely not.

Barron or Polvara for Shinnie and McGarry for Hayes maybe.
