No we didn't. No idea where that is coming from. We were shit then and we were shit on Saturday. I've run out of patience with McInnes. The first half on Saturday was particularly bad. Playing with such fear and so worried about what they'll do. In the second half (once the damage was done) we finally started to play and showed that we have it in us to hurt them but yet we didn't try until we were two down and it was too late. Not fucking good enough and I fear it'll be exactly the same on Sunday. The semi is now a massive game for McInnes if it wasn't already so. The one positive from Saturday was the performance of Niall McGinn. He looked interested and most of our good play went through him.

I can only recommend these Super Nintendo style ones. I used them with my arcade machine that I built over Christmas last year. Amazon Link This machine uses a Raspberry Pi but the pad should behave the same when using Windows. I thought about bluetooth ones but read of issues with input lag so I plumped for the wired ones which I've had no issues with at all. Although if anyone does have experience of newer style pads (with more buttons) I too would like to hear it.

Agree that golden goal was horseshit. Also agree that the away goal rule is fine as it is.

Correct.

Aye but his lawyers said the claims were fabricated so let's all move on.

Well put as ever Bobby. I hope McInnes has the intelligence to try and use that day to motivate.

But there's a bigger argument for it being a neutral venue so all clubs participating should have a 50/50 split available to them unless they choose otherwise.

They have my permission to pay the fine out of the DNA money.

What do we do now? We can't just sit back and accept this. I don't remember being this bewildered/surprised/angry about any of their previous back catalogue of fuck-wittery. And by fuck has there been a lot! This along with the League Cup Semi debacle has been tough to deal with and I don't think we're the only set of fans to have had enough. In countries more fanatical and less apathetic towards sport (and life in general) there'd have been at least protests by now. The only thing more disappointing than these recent decisions will be if we let is slide and do fuck all about it.

I hear/read this all the time. They have 4 times the number of season ticket holders as us. Maybe even more.

I suspect you're correct. I don't actually believe that Boyd said anything of the sort. We're not half desperate to believe any old shite that the tabloids come out with when it suits our anti Rangers agenda. And for the record I fucking hate them.

Well they ranged from properly shite to half decent. Hope this helps.

It's nae a problem for me as I won't be drinking and will be either driving or getting a lift but I do appreciate it's tough for the cunts that rely on public transport on a Sunday timetable. If there's a train that gets in on time it's likely to cost a fucking fortune and be a grim journey for the poor cunts on the train.

Definitely wrong. We voted against being a country.

There's a time I would have killed for this but fucking hell I'm struggling for the motivation for a trip to Hampden. Just like the players were last time.

Big game coming up here for the likes of Shinnie and Logan who were very loud (and why nae) after we got a result there at the end of last season. The challenge will be to do it again. Do not show them any respect. Make sure they knows they're in a game and stay on the fucking park and I think we have every chance of getting a result. For some fucking reason I'm going to the game so it better nae be nane o' yer 9-0 pish.

Serena owes the umpire, fans and her opponent all an apology after that.

Ach Hibs were the better team but I wouldn't say they were "good". A good team would have punished us. Fucking hell, if you can't score with one of the numerous chances you had then you could quite conceivably argue that they didn't deserve to get through either. We were poor on the night and tactically but we fought and ground out the result we wanted. Derek has to sort this though. If Hibs were't crap last night too we'd have taken a battering. Pass marks for me go to Shinnie eventually. Wasn't having his best game but had the attitude of a good captain. As illustrated by stepping up to take the first penalty. Ball was our MOTM by a mile, let's face it. When he's played in his correct position he's an asset. GMS ran himself ragged. Although at times Effe Ambrose had the measure of him he kept at it. Everyone who stepped up to take pens. Apart from McGinn of course. The most experienced penalty taker of the lot was the only one to miss. I wasn't confident when McKenna, May or Anderson stepped up but they were all brilliant. They got McInnes out of the shit last night.

The majority of what he says is nonsense. The fans did care who he was and what he had achieved but it sounds like what he wanted was a free pass because he won the CWC in '83. Sorry Mark. It doesn't work like that. It doesn't matter who you are; if you're employed to do a job and can't do it you'll be out on your arse. Not familiar with modern football management? You're a small man in many ways and you deserved your embarrassing humbling at Pittodrie for the 7-2. No one owes you anything. Shut the fuck up.

I've been critical of Wright but he was excellent on Saturday. St. Mirren were terrified of him so it's only fair that I officially put the Scott Wright good game tally up to three. Same on Saturday please loon. (although it'll most likely be from the bench)

Delighted with that. Fine. Let's all move on. Nothing to see here.

What powers or access do the press have that us mere mortals don't have?

My position on this hasn't changed in the last year - I'd be amazed and delighted if Shinnie signed a new deal with us. I'd be offering him the money Rooney was getting too and even then I think he'd get more lucrative offers from clubs South of the wall.

I was talking about our youth players in general. They're nae good enough was my point. Whether you have an agenda against McInnes or not you can't argue that he knows more about our squad than the fans do and that he's more qualified than us to make the call on whether players are ready to be first team starters or not. I'm nae fussed about showing signs of weakness pal. Couldn't possibly give less of a shit. I've been wrong countless times and will be countless times again. But on this occasion it was you who missed the point. I forgive you though.

2 defeats from 2 so far.
