Seedlings out for the group stages of next seasons league cup.

Just an excuse to point and laugh at Hearts as we do not come into this until weekend of 16th/17th August. 

Other results 

Celtic 4-1 Falkirk

Rangers 4-2 Alloa

Partick 2-0 Ayr

St Johnstone 0-1 Motherwell

St Mirren 1-1 Hearts (St Mirren win on penalties) 

Much to everyone’s surprise (okay the media and Hearts fans) Hearts are out and not winning the treble. 

Now, I don't subscribe to the notion cup draws are rigged. However...

In Celtic's last 24 domestic cup games, 20 of them have been in Glasgow. The tie with Partick Thistle now makes that 21 from 25.

The four that were not in Glasgow - three of them are relatively close by (Paisley, Motherwell, Kilmarnock) with the furthest being Tynecastle (which is less than an hour away).

Yet if they make Hampden again (in their own city) expect plenty of attendance chat and talk about loyalty and big game fans, while criticising Aberdeen (should it be us) for not filling the our end for a lunchtime/evening kick-off.

As for our cup draw (which, for balance, is our 10th home game from 24 cup ties), I'm to blame/thank for us getting Motherwell.

A rather excited Motherwell fan at work - buoyed by beating Rangers 1-1, hammering St Mirren 0-0, and smashing Clyde on penalties - has bet me that Motherwell will finish above Aberdeen this season. 

So of course we will now face them back-to-back, home and away.

Postponing next weekend's game possibly helping Goodwin & co more than the Dons

Didn't the new club have something like 12 home games in a row when they reformed - I seem to remember asking my loon what were the odds of that happening as part of his Uni course involved statistics and he said it was 1 in 4096, so nothing underhand there.

Arabs out of two cups by mid August, three if you include the one they claimed they had qualified for the week before the cup final

A real diddy mob 😂

Presumably you don't think they'll win the league and cup double?

In a word no mate but even if I did, that wouldn't change my statement about them 😉

St Mirren thumping Motherwell 4-1 in first semi final. Bigot fest semi final on tomorrow. 

Ugly sister semi has been quite entertaining 2bf.   1 each going into ET with der hun down to ten.  

Finished 3-1 to Green Bigots. Blue bigots complaining about Trusty not being sent off while ignoring the penalty they got that wasn’t a penalty. 

Hopefully they've been suitably broken by this. Although a hun mate said that this was a free hit for the new manager, but hopefully he's in the minority.

Depressingly der hun impressed me in the way they took the game to celtic with ten men.  On the flip side the hordes of mordor seem to be turning on Miovski which is pleasing.

To be fair, if Aasgaard was a red card (it was) then there was a case for Trusty going as well.

 

I was at the game. Wanted Miovski to score simply because it would have meant he'd likely have had to come down to the media interviews afterwards, and I wanted to ask him about his Aberdeen betrayal.

But he didn't. He couldn't even give me that.

All he has to give is betrayal.
