Scottish cup 2023/24

A fair point indeed I guess I just wanted to pull him up on the nonsense he spouted, safe in the knowledge he'd not be able to explain it, thus embarrassing himself further via any reply (See above for confirmation) -

It's not moaning at all, and perfectly justifiable to most normal football fans We did not ask for 50% of the tickets this time, we asked for it to start at 50%, surely even you can see there's a difference *In bold - Who, why, when? No one I'm aware of is offering or requesting any sympathy, and smacks of more made up nonsense -

I'll repeat for the avoidance of any doubt......... 'There's a number of contributory factors: - A chairman / board that lies to it's fan base (The main one) - Awful football - Cost (In general given location, 4 expensive European away games, and 2 trips to Hampden already) - KO time / Live on council tv (Hypothetical, of course, but I doubt any other clubs out with Celtic / Rangers would take the numbers we take to Glasgow if the semi finals / finals were played in Aberdeen under identical circumstances) - No appetite to watch us take our 'routine' scudding off Celtic in Glasgow without much / any resistance - A growing desire of not being prepared to fund a rigged event any longer (A topic in it's own right, granted)' -

Would you mind explaining what the bit in bold has to do with anything, please ? -

We 'asked for it to start' at 50/50 - That's a reasonable stance for any club I think Insisting clubs buy the lot and stump up for any shortfall shines the light brighter on potential bias Selling section by section works (Hibs apart), then hand back if unsold by a given date In terms of any boycott ? Yes, I think there was Our 'average' semi final uptake is between 12-15k, and Saturday was well short of that There's a number of contributory factors: - A chairman / board that lies to it's fan base (The main one) - Awful football - Cost (In general given location, 4 expensive European away games, and 2 trips to Hampden already) - KO time / Live on council tv (Hypothetical, of course, but I doubt any other clubs out with Celtic / Rangers would take the numbers we take to Glasgow if the semi finals / finals were played in Aberdeen under identical circumstances) - No appetite to watch us take our 'routine' scudding off Celtic in Glasgow without much / any resistance - A growing desire of not being prepared to fund a rigged event any longer (A topic in it's own right, granted) Whilst it was gutting to lose that game, it must have been a neutrals ideal to watch on TV Anyway, we 'consoled' ourselves with unlimited drinks (First class upgrade 'bid' whilst waiting for our train at Central was successful) heading back South - Followed by the Pub until 3am - Still feeling like a burst couch this morning! *As an aside - It was actually quite refreshing (If that's the right word) to witness no segregation pre and post match. Conversations going to the game / on the train from MF between fans were honest with not a hint of bother -

What a pathetic hypocritical cunt that Hun manager is Cowie actually goes looking for him, then turns back when realising he's already fucked off up the tunnel -

BBC Scotland 'Apologising' for songs identifying Shankland as a wanker last night BUT quite happy for The Huns to be up to their knees in fenian blood anytime they're on What a fucked up lot -
Barry Robson gone

Fair enough I thought I'd watched all his press / redtv interviews yesterday, and didn't hear anything other than soft references into poking 'fun' at Brazil with McCoist, and folk putting 2 and 2 together because of that He also mentioned Rangers by name when asked about Scottish football. Again, I felt he handled that okay What's he said that I've missed ?
