Aberdeen v Raith Rovers

[swaddon]

The Scottish Cup holders begin their defence of the world's oldest professional football trophy on Sunday 18th January at the Cathedral of Football, kicking off at 2:30 pm and being beamed all around an expectant world in full colour on BBC Television as they take on Championship side Raith Rovers.

Raith have been in patchy form recently, losing at the weekend at home to Arbroath. Aberdeen have been worse than shite recently, losing to everyone. Nevertheless, I fancy a 2-1 win for the Dons after extra time as we bid for a ninth Scottish Cup and a first defence of OUR cup since 1984.

Which was the last time we successfully defended the Scottish Cup that we had won the previous season. Because we won it in 1983. And 1982.

Could you not have waited just a couple of days before reminding us we have to suffer again.

Who in their right mind is going to buy a ticket for this...me!

If being shit in the league, wins us the cup then I'm all in.

1-0 Shinnie

I don't think it's brainwashing.  I think it's instructed from higher above at the club.

We need a complete tactical reset and throw the playing out from the back manual, in the bin.
