I'll be in a minority that's glad it's Celtic we're playing in the final. 

The 2017 final still rankles. We should have done it that day. Shay Logan standing off Stuart Armstrong and letting him hit that equaliser in a half when Celtic offered little. The Jonny Hayes - Kenny McLean mix up that should have given us a second (and to this day I still don't know who to blame). 

Beat them on 24 May, win the cup, end a 35-year wait, and do it against a seemingly unstoppable side going for yet another treble. It would be beautiful and would finally put 2017 to bed.

Tickets

I don't actually think we'll sell 21,000. Too many just can't be arsed with what they think (wrongly) will be another defeat to Celtic. So 19,000 probably would do us.

However, it's important that Aberdeen fight for half of the North stand. The way the noise projects around Hampden, you can barely hear the fans behind the goal when you're at the other end. Give us half the north, the west stand, and the lower deck of the south. That's about 19,000 tickets - if we sell out, then give us the rest.

That's the first fight we need to win long before we get to Hampden.

Regretting having Clarkson off instead of Palaversa when we had those 2 corners in injury time.

I'd prefer mitov to stop kicking the ball out or back to them.

I will be more than happy for Mitov to kick the ball back to them now.

What’s bizarre season!

McGregor in tears is delicious.

Looks like 5-4-1 and hang on for penalties. As Slim said if Celtic score early we could well see changes before half time. 

And it fucking worked.

4 fantastic penalties. 

4 fucking excellent penalties! And I hate high penalties!!

Shout out to polvara yet again, stuck at the back, played well, and excellent pen.

It means that 5th is a distant memory - we take the euro slot for 3rd in Hibs place.

Disagree on MOTM. Would have said Devlin or Milne.

Will say knoester has been an excellent signing!

Right, serious question. When's the bus parade?

Change of tactics and formation worked. Congrats to jimmy for being brave.

I'd say he was really good but pape changed the game. We started winning the headers and second balls. I think gueye played long enough for me to give him MOTM. 

Mitov is MOTM for me, he won us the cup three times - the save from Maeda, and the two penalty stops.

But the fact we've all got different nominees says a lot about the team today, kudos to Thelin for finding the right strategy but by christ could we do that a bit earlier in the season next year please?

Fucking tremendous day out. Brilliant performances all round and one helluva atmosphere at the end there.
