Scotland Ever More Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Scotland's two most successful clubs (in existence) meet once again in a Hampden final. Hopefully it's as exciting as the recent Scottish cup final was between the two. As far as I know both clubs have sold out their allocations so has the potential to be a right good advert for Scottish football. Celtic with the chance to equal the Scottish record of 7 trophies in a row but with the game coming just 3 days after our trip to Norway then it may not be so straight forward as the last league cup final v Aberdeen Prediction 3-1 with goals from Rogic, Edouard and Forrest.

sbcmfc Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 When was the last time there was a cup final that didn’t involve 2 from Motherwell, Celtic and Aberdeen? Like all the neutrals likely will be, I’m hoping for an Aberdeen win, but expecting a Celtic win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who will they blame for that? I see the cyberhuns are angry that Aberdeen police have released a photo of a guy who threw a glass bottle into the Aberdeen fans at Pittodrie.

Take everything as it comes and nothing for granted, that's the way. For all I cannot see us losing, the fear is always we just have 'one of those days.'

There's always that niggling feeling that Aberdeen are due a win against us at some point. Hopefully it will be a dead rubber match in May rather than this week though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Would love to see Aberdeen win to break the Celtic dominance. Meeting a few sheep shagging mates in Shawlands pre match for a beer before the head to Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dairbee Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I went up for the semi and was still on a high waiting at Kings park planning my trip up for the final, when the realisation hit me that Id booked a weekend away with the Mrs on the 1st and 2nd of December.......schoolboy error. Im sure it will be on in the pub in deepest Gloucestershire up against the Merseyside amd North London derbies. Its time for a Paul Mason moment and stop the rot of losing cup finals to the Old firm at 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm enjoying our very low key, no drama, "we might not lose", attitude to the build for Sunday. To win, it will take Celtic having a very bad day and us playing out of our skin. The probability of that happening is obviously not particularly favourable.......

I was only 9 so probably didn't appreciate what had actually happened and what an achievement it was for Raith but remember the bus being like a morgue on the way home. It was during one of the worst periods in Celtic history and the only double trebles back then were being drank after regular defeats in the pubs of the Gallowgate to drown sorrows. Makes potential achievements like Sunday all the sweeter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have been the first game after Fergus won control of the club. Was a much bigger crowd than usual. Pretty sure the goal was a bit of a blooper by the keeper, parried it right back into the 6 yard box for the Well player to tap in.

dandydunn Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Had a feeling all week of, meh, it’s just another final, but now the nerves and excitement are starting to kick in again. Hooefully the bairn sees his team lift a trophy for the 1st time, he’s already seen 2 final defeats. Coming home from the semi, he declared that he almost cried when we won as it was the happiest he’s ever been at a football game, he’ll probably take me with him if it gets bettered this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
