Actually superior coverage to that on the BBC site I thought.

 

My mate is a Falkirk fan and he was able to watch Aberdeen - Falkirk via a proxy live on the official Falkirk site he was telling me that all their games are live on their official site to foreign subscribers.

To go back to the game for a minute - I spent almost the entire 90 minutes thinking what crap football I was watching

 

I can think of a million things I would rather be doing than watching the dons play like that it is starting to remind me too much of supporting them under Paterson 

Paterson? Where were you last season as its pretty much the same standard.

Raith played nae bad  , definitely in effort and passion. Seriously though we did have some short bursts of good play... Scotsport played them all!

 

For financial reasons I haven't got to as many games this season as I'd have liked to, but Saturday definitely didn't inspire me to pay £74 for a game at Pittodrie, excluding any food or drink. [£22 ticket, £10 (return) taxi's to nearest train station and £42 return to Aberdeen for train]

 

I agree that there many things I'd rather be doing than watch the Dons play like that, remember miserable home gubbings by Livvy (and their fecking drum!) under Paterson , but have to ask, can I have the you and your other halves version of kama sutra as nae getting near a million things to do!

ONLY good thing about Saturday is that we are still in the cup! Although last years result against Dunfermline highlights that just because we took it back to Pittodrie, doesn't mean that we are automatically going through to the next round. I would be very suprised if Raith don't set out to defend with every player behind the ball to frustrate the team and the crowd and hopefully get something on the break. If they go with these tactics, then I'm not confident whatsoever in breaking Raith down.

They've taken £6 of the usual gate price so its around £16 for the replay.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that is exactly what will happen. And even if they manage to take us all the way to penalties, I have absolutely no confidence in us being better than them from the spot.

Raith will come to defend, I think players like Pawlett and Aluko will have a few more games under their belt will be up for it and we'll take them

Hopefully there is a level, neatly trimmed playing surface for them to play on as well. The ploughed field that was Starks Park certainly helped the agricultiral brand of football on display from Raith and Ifil.

 

EDIT: When is the draw for the next round ?

The draw is tomorrow at 1pm.

It is fated that IF we get through this, then we're going to Rugby Park in the next round

Screw that! Should we get through I want a trip to Dingwall

Seconded.

I would love a trip to Dingwall but agree its fated we'd go to Rugby Park.

 

Who are you trying to kid Ally S, a trip to Rugby Park in the Scottish Cup would be outstanding Would love to see us fill the end down there for a big match as our crowd at Rugby Park is usually poor.

I say keep away from the lower league teams and lets get an SPL team.

Yeah because we have been so sucessful against them this season.

Well, yes. We've won every cup game we've had against SPL teams this season, and not managed to win any against lower league teams

We'll be going to ibrox!

 

I can just feel it!

Can you feel a victory at Ibrox approaching? It's bad enough losing in the league but a cup quarter final?

Yes, our midweek game this season.

 

Look at our midweek record at the tattiedome, it's time...

Hope so.

What makes you think a scottish cup quarter final down there would make any difference to the attendance?

Hopefully there is a level, neatly trimmed playing surface for them to play on as well. The ploughed field that was Starks Park certainly helped the agricultiral brand of football on display from Raith and Ifil.

FJ, ... gas chamber?
