Getting ready for his big move north next week…

Exactly that. For all most people - probably justifiably - complain when players throw themselves to the ground at the tiniest of contact, they've really got to if they won't get the decision if they don't. Poor officiating is the cause but Gartenmann should have gone down yesterday and given the officials as decision to make.

He's also shite so that's surely got to be taken into consideration?

The pricing is horrendous. They know there are enough brain dead bigots to pay whatever they ask so the rest of us have to suffer the consequences. Citing segregation as contributory factor in the allocation is also bollocks as there have been Scottish Cup finals with a 50/50 split.

Here’s one for the inevitable “hibs were robbed/we stole that” chat.

That’s a penalty in every country bar Scotland (excluding the home penalty boxes at ibrox and parkhead).

Barron in for Polvara the only change from the well game

He's here until Christmas anyway... a cup semi is acceptable - albeit the bare minimum - and we're a game in hand away from 4th place. Against the backdrop of basically a whole new team and the distraction of Europe then he's doing alright, if not exactly setting the world on fire.

I'd agree with your thinking in principle but if we can't find or afford a decent experienced manager, who are we getting to be the young guy's boss? Craigie Broon was the man for the job and probably did it with McInnes but who's kicking about like that now and - probably most importantly - does Cormack know where to find them?

Fuck var and fuck football. What’s the point in any of it?

Ibrox in particular is 100 times the stadium Hampden is. Better accessibility, better potential to create an atmosphere and a better view of the game. I’d still knock the fucker down in a heartbeat tho…

That's a joke, especially with three weeks' notice.

Roos gartenmamn ruby Jensen devlin shinnie clarkson mcgrath mcgarry duk miovski Can’t be far off our strongest team, you could debate McDonald for ruby and one of the new boys for duk but otherwise it’s about as good as we could put out. No excuses today. COYR.

I'm in agreement with those who say we need a Ramadani replacement, particularly if we're going to continue with three at the back. Without another covering midfielder, we'll struggle every time we play a good team. It's early days in the season and I'm still confident that the team will come together - and that when it does we'll be better than last season and comfortably the third best team in the league.

I want the four weakest teams we could possibly get. Fuck knows who they are mind you as they all look decent enough

"I am sorry for those offended," isn't a real apology though. There are undoubtedly massive issues within the Spanish FA and this has probably brought them all to a head.

Robson says Jensen isn't going to play tomorrow but they wanted to make sure his registration got through yesterday so that he's available for next week.

Height has to play a part in goalkeeper performance too, no? Back in 1863, when the size of the goals was set, average male height was higher than the current average female height. That can't help? There have been arguments that the size of the goals and pitches in the men's game should be increased to reflect the increase in size of the players in order to make scoring goals "easier".

Hacken 2-0 up with 30 mins to play tonight, 5-1 on aggregate. Looks like they’re the ones going to get the message from the Dandies.

Wouldn’t say it’s baffling, just a lack of options. Besuijen and Bavidge were the only unused attacking subs and I wouldn’t expect either of them to have made a difference. The team was playing well so no point making changes just for the sake of it.

It's also Stirling Highland Games next to the stadium that day and Stirling had asked for and been given an away league tie as the council don't want them playing at home while the highland games are on. I'm assuming they must draw a much larger crowd even for a league game than the uni does.

That was the league cup thread, this is the the league cup thread - and now that the Dons are in it, it's in the right place...

Tried to edit it but must’ve missed the deadline also hadn’t read the post in the other fitba room before starting this one… Monday, monday

Away to Stirling Albion. They pumped St Johnstone 5-0 on Saturday so must have something about them, need to be wary but a tie we should be looking to sail through. Can't find Utd's tie listed anywhere, I'm sure the draw will be updated soon To be played the weekend of the 19th/20th.
