Defeat not unexpected,could have done without one that margin like. Need a solid replacement for McKenna,but doesnt sound like weve got the funds according to the last club email?. Maybe need to focus/improve meantime on our strengths(attack) to take the pressure off defence

.......Maybe a good time to start ?

Anyone else see this

good spot. 5'3" according to Wiki,looks about right.Pic looks like him

Aye,remember it well.Think he was also trying to gee us up a bit for the remainder of the game First final I can remember.Too young for the '70 cup final,would have loved to catch that one.Can name all the guys in the picture below,except the guy sitting on the edge at this end,blond hair? 01_1976LeagueCupWinners by david henderson, on Flickr

A good win without being as pleasing on the eye of late.Good work rate ,snuffed out Hibs well

Incontinentastic

Yes...nice finish

Nice.Pity I went for a cup of tea when we scored.Might have another....

Was the semi defeat not as much down to a rare(this season) purple patch fae Celtic that knocked the stuffing out us? Above line up looks as good as we can muster this week. 3421? Hedges/Wright with Cosgrove up front? Potential for goals,looking forward to it.COYR

Any word on how long Hayes is out for? Heard he was getting a scan a couple of days ago,but not seen any updates Potential for a good game though, would also start with Edmundson if it means the type of fitba we saw. McInnes mentioned having Cosgrove back meant the opportunity to get more crosses into the box,(which sounded a bit like at the expense of on the deck fitba to me). Defence wise,as long as were scoring more than were shipping,I would allow the current trio more gelling time with the new set up Dons 3 - Hibs 1 Edmundson,Wright x2

Think it would have been a sorer defeat if it had been a normal semi final,just my opinion though. Jonny in the side may have tipped the balance a bit,but we couldnt get near them for most of the first half TBH. One of those Celtic periods .If were stuck with what weve got meantime,can we get more out the existing personnel defensively,if we want to persist with/develop the same style of fitba(which I hope we do). Can't Ash's defensive frailties be coached out of him? Weve seen the best of Consi like,but whats a reasonable grace period for them with the new system?

Its ok,once Consis finished banging them in he'll be back marshalling the defence magnificently

Had the hope drummed out of me for Celtic games in recent years,so not overly optimistic.Were capable of giving them a thrashing,but am also prepared for the possibility of a plucky defeat,if not a pathetic capitulation. Nonetheless looking forward to it,COYR

Just discovered Oscar Peterson recently.Fairly knows how to get around the piano

Pace be better at Hampden? Watkins up front?

Is that bobby clark on red TV? Edit - Think it is,aged a bit since i last saw him

Yes wright needs to start,and we should get at them a bit more. Makes a change being slightly deflated drawing with celtic

how did he miss.Pen at least

sickener

More about loyalty/appearances to a club,and quality of service IMO.plenty players won plenty trophies without being legends,eg Andy Watson,though you could argue Zoltan Varga as legendary,and even Darren Mackie...for all the wrong reasons. I would place Considine just under legendary status

Be interested to know the stats,but if we havnt actually conceded more goals when we try to game manage,we certainly seem(to me) to look more likely to concede when we do. If Hayes is fit,I would continue as we have been until such times etc. It would at least be interesting to find out since it looks like we have players that can hurt teams now. i'll go for a Budgie,2004/5 type performance. 2 - 3 Dons, Hayes,Edmundson with Considinho crashing a last minute header in

Fair play to Hamilton for sticking at it. Would have been good to see Cosgrove step in for Edmundson,and hopefully we'll see Ojo down the pecking order after tonights effort.
