    Baby Reindeer was a great watch. The lady who played the stalker was superb. Almost felt sorry for her. I found it hard to feel sorry for the victim but then I think he represents a lot of victims in terms of damaged they get when they are abused continuously .

    Yip 100%, a bit like the battered wife who can’t help but see the good in the husband. It was beautifully crafted and put together, I’d be really surprised if it doesn’t win a lot of awards as it tackles a few subjects that tend to fly under the radar mostly. 👍

    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

    All fair and reasonable Redz, glad you had a good day despite the outcome. Your point about the segregation is interesting to me. I feel that a lot of the misunderstanding between fans these days stems from lack of interaction such are the levels of segregation now. It’s not just in the stadium, but in the pubs, the routes to and from etc etc.

    Maybe there would be less antagonism if we all mixed a bit more freely or maybe I’m just a feckin daydreamer 😀

    Aye, I got my cup final moment at 32 in 2014, he’s 16 now, his time will come, he’s not seen half the shit that I have 😂😂😂

    I didn’t take my boy to Celtic, did Scotland instead home & away. His first 5 away games finished 0-2, 0-5, 0-6, 0-4 & 1-2 😂

    I was ready to rename him Jonah 🙈

    Yeah, it hurt, a lot. I was almost in tears at 2-2, 3-3 and at pens, with my loon alongside me. I’ve hugged the wee fucker a lot, but those moments, if you don’t know fitba, can never be understood, his first reaction today was to jump to me, nowhere else, it’s fucking wonderful, but heartbreaking at the same time. 
     

    10 years since his first semi (final)🙈 and he’s seen us win a couple and lose a few, everytime we step through the gates, he’s told this is our time, but it’s yet to have the ending we both want. 
     

    It’ll come though. 
     

    In a way, we need a standard ahite performance thrown in too now, just so the new gaffer can see who is arsed on a day to day basis and who isn’t. 
     

    We’re gonna be down Miovski for millions and Barron for buttons will be two massive losses for him. 

    Great memories bud, hold on to them for they are gone all too soon 👍

    Aberdeen shouldnt get drawn into debating whether it was a foul on Johnston or not. (It wasnt)

    What they need to concentrate on and demand answers on is why if the ref thought it was a foul, he didnt blow at the time. The game continues for a decent amount of time, the ref watches the play continue and only then the penatly foul is commited by CCV does the ref blow for a foul. 

    There is no provision for this in the ref rulebook. He cant possibly be playing advantage as Celtic are defending their own box. 

    Regardless of whether they win or not. Answers should be sought.

    I’ve seen a different angle on the challenge on AJ and it looks like a foul to me although I can see both sides of it. I’m not so clear on the delay but he clearly points at where the foul occurred and then signals a free kick for the defending team. AJ would normally spring to his feet to defend the box but stayed down throughout the whole incident.

    Maybe you can tell me this DS, is it standard procedure for the var to ask the ref what Aberdeen players were complaining about at Celtic’s 2nd goal ? This was clearly indicated by TNT commentators at the time and it seems strange to me given that every goal is checked anyway.

    Apathy has set in amongst the support with how we’ve been treated from the club, and the usual excuses of 12:30 in Glasgow always works, which has some merit, first train from Glasgow arrives at 12:15, so no chance of making ko, but if folk want to go, they’ll get there. 
     

    I drove me and my loon, didn’t buy tickets until Tuesday as I’m sick of them lying down to Celtic at Hampden, but that never happened today. 

    That sounds about right.

    It’s always unlucky to lose on pens but the new manager will have seen plenty to encourage him 👍

    How many passes have we wasted through the middle Slasher.. Frustrating to watch this...

    I said it last week, we are incapable of putting a 90 minute performance in, hopefully a better 2nd half 👍

    Just seen it again. May have had  claim. Would have been soft, but the new rules it may have stood. Sevco? Definitely a penalty !!!!

    Looks outside the box from the angle behind the goal. If it was inside I think it would have been given.

    Absolutely miles off it again just like the St Mirren game. Our passing has been fuckin woeful and CCV really not defending well against Miovski. I don’t know why Rodgers persists with Yang on the left, he’s hopeless out there.

    I think what this shows is we are not going to saunter through the rest of this season, hopefully Rodgers is tearing a few strips off them at ht!

    Only utter scumbags cling to whataboutery when presented with first hand anecdotes of traumatic childhood experiences

    I wasn’t belittling your childhood experience, more making the point that it takes the same number of idiots to chuck a CS gas canister as it does to jam a pint glass in someone’s face. Labelling an entire supporter base as scum because of it is grossly unfair on the vast majority of decent fans. 
    I will however apologise for calling you a dick, that was unnecessary.

    The 1940s might be pushing it but I’m sure many others will remember being at Easter Road c. Autumn 1987 when Celtic fans threw cs gas into the old east stand

    As a youngster I had no idea what was going on uncontrollably coughing, tears streaming both voluntary and involuntary at the same time and being caught in a stampede of hundreds/thousands of other fans trying to evacuate the area

    Celtic scum cunts. Always have been and always will be 

    My mate was glassed on his first visit to Easter Road after innocently stumbling into a bar full of Hibs fans in Leith.

    Hibby scum cunts. Always have been and always will be.

    See how this works ya dick?
