Presumably he was giving as many players as he could a game to see what he's dealing with. Hopefully he's have learned (not exactly a mensa question) is that Morris, as you say, is really crap...in the first 5 mins he got the ball, skipped past his marker and then, instead of sprinting into the space he'd created, cantered because he's a playground fitba player...beat somebody, look at me I'm so good, take on someone else and lose the ball - his 2 efforts in the 2nd half when he was one-on-one with his marker and he headed for the bye-line but didn't actually get away from his marker so that his cross had to be hurried (see v. St Mirren); that Duk hasn't got it as a player (lucky the ref. didn't book him for his blatant dive which would have been a second yellow), that purple patch he had last season is as good as it's going to get. Wasn't at all impressed with Barron when he came on unfortunately as I thought he'd have started but I guess Warnock is giving him and Clarkson the chance to impress from the start/come on as sub as his main creative player. Doohan looked ok-ish but seemed in the same mould at Roos - punch rather that grab, stay on your line - at least he didn't once kick the ball into the of the stands. Jack MacKenzie continues to impress. Good to see Warnock leaves one up front when we're defending a corner (even though it was usually Morris) because it occupies at least 2 of their players. All of those on here of a religious persuasion (and the rest of us, just in case), please pray that Miovski doesn't get injured. We're in the next round of the cup and that's all you want, to be honest (tbh as you youngsters would type).

Maybe he'll be like a lower league joker (from Scotland) who'd never won a cup in his career (and didn't again) until he managed the Dons - Ally McLeod.

Miovski!!!!!

How about a sprightly young 69 y/o...Sam Allardyce

Thanks for that. Best bit of the game was the scousers bringing on Bobby Clark, brought back many a happy memory for this old git!

Any idea why the Woolwich Arse were playing at home in a white kit today?

Nah, he'd need telling that the wetness on his leg wasn't his own.

That's a bit insulting, mate...lampposts are useful for pedestrians, dogs.

Unfortunately his one tactic turned out to be "trust in luck" (against DU Fletcher missed 4/5 fairly easy chances and against St. J we should have been 1 down before Consi was sent off so that worked well) and then Duk was suddenly on fire, Clarkson was strutting his stuff and Shinnie was a real driving force Unfortunately none of those 4 (including luck) have turned up this season - Duk is looking like a less effective Sam Cosgrove, Shinnie (as you often intimate) is running around like a headless chicken because he's playing in the wrong role, and Clarkson can take a good dead-ball kick but can't often pass to the guy in the red shirt standing 10-15 yds (aul mannies term) from him. We've got a really good centre-forward who is being run into the ground chasing long balls launched hopefully in his direction - he's a striker like Joe Harper..in the penalty area, with a smidgen of goal he'll score (ie the 2 against Livi) because his movement is excellent but Robson asks him to chase about after hopeful balls down the channel or compete with guys 4/5 inches taller than him. I really wanted Robson to succeed but he's shown himself to be too much like Goodwin - my tactics are right and even when all the evidence is showing me that I'm wrong, I'll continue doing it because it'll eventually come OK and I'll be proved right - and as obstinate (Baron not being picked because he's not signed a new contract (I'm assuming that's the reason)...just cutting your nose off etc).

haha...there was a number of times when the Club I used to help run when living down south and at this time of year the ref. would turn up at 1.30pm (for a 2pm KO) and say, "Nah, the pitch isn't playable, game's off...and I'll take my £50 fee thanks very much". By the tine I'd reached Dens Park (about 2pm) the rain had stopped, so as you say, it would have been easy to delay the KO, clear the water off the pitch and start at 3:30/3:45 but obviously the ref. wouldn't then have had time to buy Mrs McDermid a hoover for Xmas (which she will, hopefully, shove up his arse). Still a least I had the opportunity to look round the Discovery Museum...except it was ******* closed!

And now misses a pen.

Care to share?

DUUUUUKKKKK!!!!!

Well they've got Stevie May although you did say striker.

And Hampden when either of the cheeks are to be advantaged.

I'm worse...no wins, 5 defeats, 4 draws. Saturday - time for the law of averages will kick in.

St. Mirren looked very good against us few weeks back that then it was against us!

I hope I'm wrong but he's beginning to look like a 1 season wonder.

Me too...sold out already.

Sorry, are you saying that our left half was behind our right back?

How many long throws did we take and how many did we win...no idea and zero. And then how many goal-kicks did Roos (and by the way he looks very dodgy when the ball is pumped into the 6-yd box) take to the same quadrant and how many did we win...no idea and zero. What is that cliché about doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for a different outcome? Similarly, how often do I say FFS he'll connect with the first defender whenever Hayes trots across to takes a corner?...every fucking time!

Despite all their "possession" we only conceded 4 fouls whilst their number was 18. 4 fouls for a team that is set up to essentially defend shows how brilliantly disciplined and tactically aware we were. Hate to admit it but the ref (presumably not going out to the lodge tonight) was OK. Oh, and how did Miovski miss that chance?

Out Hoping for a stream although probably listen to BBC Beers in town 4-0 Miovski (4 penalties)

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