We’re a team full of nice guys and I fear jimmy has a nice guy approach too. Not saying the manager has to be a fergie, but back in the day we had a team full of players who could be nasty bastards, mcleish miller rougvie Simpson cooper in particular were hard as fuck. What I wouldn’t give for a modern day Peter Nicholas or Lee Richardson, class in the middle with bite. The current team melts in the sun. I didn’t see today but it’s been mentioned before, would gogic do a job for us?

Our two "hard" players - Shinnie and Devlin - were both booked in the opening 25 minutes and were walking a tightrope after that.

Seen the goal that was chopped off on tv not convinced that is deliberate handball so goal should have stood and cannot see what ref saw on VAR that convinced him it was a clear and obvious error. 

Clear and obvious - is that still in the definition of a var decision? No way it was clear and obvious today.

Thing is, they aren’t hard players. And they are potentially the best ‘hard’ we’ve got, although I think tobers may be one. Wouldn’t call devlin anything more than a typical Scottish player, shinnie is a terror who gets stuck in, but not the hard bastard and presence of a Simpson, cooper, or Richardson in midfield. I’d compare shinnie to willo flood. Neither of our two have a physical presence.

Not with that attitude we won't.

I was making the point that the referee was throwing yellow cards about early for small fouls. Devlin specifically was very unlucky to be booked, so not sure stronger challenges or more physicality were going to help us.

Last time we won the cup in 1990, we lost 1-0 three weeks before the game...

Absolute embarrassments on our fine club. Hopefully they get found out and sent to Ibrox to live out their pitiful lives. Same crowd that wave the red “union” flag as well as stop the boats. Ignorant is doing the word a disservice.

Allocation sold out in a day.  Attendence fc fans are suitably seething.

Good, stadium bans (at least) incoming and big kudos to those in our support that shared the footage

Can be embarrassing going around Europe with AFC because this flag is usually prominently placed.  And the apologists are going "It's nae political!". It clearly is and this bollocks belongs at Ibrox. And when folk do express their disdain they're greeted with threats of physical violence or more than just threats if one story from Rovaniemi is to be believed.
