Sevco awarded a penalty against Hearts.  Didn't see that coming.

Can someone heading down tell Robson nae to feck about and get it done in 90, I've got other stuff to do today.

Duk "Hewitt" Lopes to score the winner with his first touch in the 89th minute.

Reckless approach to cup threads will probably cost us in my opinion.

I like it, never hurts to freshen things up.  Will be disappointed if there isn't three new substitute threads introduced in the 80th minute though.

I want the return of the version of Robson that took over in February.

Interim Robson > permanent Robson.

Simple, sack Robson and then immediately replace him with Robson to act as caretaker until we can get Robson back in

Starting to think he needs to change his name to "And" to actually see game time.

Clearly the rest of the team are jealous of McGrath's battle scar, all trying to get their own

The CBS commentator just observed that "some of the younger Aberdeen fans will never have had the chance to see their team at home in a European competition".   Presumably only the ones under the age of two?

Huns 2-1 down away to Aris Limassol.

Must be gutted they don't have a manager to sack.

I take a different view on that 

Excellent result and well worth the twenty year wait to appear on that stage.

Paddy Power telling it as it is.

"there has to be a challenge in the league"

There is, it's called St Mirren.

Listening to Lee MCculloch on BBC lamenting about how Sevco should've just offered all the best players from Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs the honour of playing for them ("why didn't we just go and get Shankland, Ferguson, Doig"), and then they wonder why these teams don't like them.

No clean sheet - Robson out.

Told you I liked Gartenmann.

Well, the last time Aberdeen & Hearts did actually get drawn against each other (1996), the other semi was... Rangers v Celtic.

Clearly a conspiracy to throw us off the scent.

Semi-final on Sat 4th at 5:15pm.

Where's the thread?

We've avoided Hearts again. Which is a peculiar thing. 

Both clubs make it to Hampden regularly, more regularly than most in Scottish football. Yet, in the two cup competitions, throughout all the years, we've only ever played two semi-finals against each other and one final.

In the last 16 years, there has been seven occasions where Aberdeen and Hearts have both been in the semi-final draw together and have avoided each other each time; four in the League Cup and three times in the Scottish Cup. And of course, they've not met in a final in any of those years - the closest being 2014 when Aberdeen made the LC final, but Hearts - despite playing in Edinburgh against nine-man Inverness - lost on penalties.

Someone more cynical than me might suggest you are looking at this the wrong way, and instead might ask this:  how many times has the other two teams been the cheeks, and what automatically happens if Dons and Hearts aren't drawn together in a semi-final?

I should probably add that such a person is probably too cynical to even bother looking at the data to check.

hopefully that's Duk broken his Duc

Bavidge on the box - BBC showing Kelty Hearts v Falkirk just now, Bavidge starts.

Liking the look of Gartenmann.

Boo.  Takes the shine off the forthcoming Duk hattrick.

Some save from Kelle like, despite the offside. Not sure about this stream OxfordDon recommended, the commentator keeps shouting "cock"!

Are you sure you are watching the football?
