Red card seems to have galvanised us.

Just beat me to that Manc.

Hearts now being within 3 of 2nd makes this a game we have to win. We did not respond well to the set back of going out of the league cup earlier in the season and cannot afford to go on another run like we did then. Thing is not convinced we will not. Due to stupid kick off time and shite public transport in this country reduced to watching on tv. Oot Flat Watching on tv Flat watching EPL 1-1 McGinn

Only thing I can remember about Bannigan is that he gets booked a lot. 9 times in 20 games this season.

Athletico and Real both handed transfer bans to cover summer and next January windows. Would expect both to be very active in this window in response. Who will want to take on Real in the summer when they cannot sign any players for a year.

Sky having 2 games and BBC 1 game would expect Sky to take Dims game and the Tribute Act v Killie game and BBC to take Edinburgh derby. With egg chasing at Murrayfield on the Saturday the Edinburgh derby will be on a Sunday anyway.

5th round draw Motherwell vs Stirling Albion or Inverness Caledonian Thistle East Kilbride or Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale vs Celtic Dundee United vs Partick Thistle Ross County vs Linlithgow Rose or Forfar Athletic Rangers vs Kilmarnock Annan Athletic vs Greenock Morton Dumbarton vs Dundee or Falkirk Heart of Midlothian vs Hibernian Great draw for East Kilbride or Lothian although no chance the tie will be played at their home parks. Money from this tie if televised will keep them going for years.

Was hoping it was an early April Fools story. Why another loan signing especially one who cannot get a game for a 1st division side.

According to P&J we have approached the tribute act for Cammy Bell on loan to replace Ward.

Would rather we went out and found a permanent replacement than just accepting another loan player.

Always a risk when you use loan players. As ED says not the end of the world if true. Recall Rogers and give him a run for next few while we look for a replacement if one is needed.

Another big game and bottle crash. Only one team wanted to win today and it was not us. McInnes again unable to change tactics when things go wrong. Goodwillie can fuck off now. Total waste of oxygen never mind a wage. Season over.

Forgot to stick this in for 4th round St Johnstone v Kilmarnock Dunfermline v Ross County Stirling v Inverness CT Linlithgow Rose v Forfar Dundee v Falkirk Livingston v Morton Dumbarton v Queen Of The South East Kilbride v Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale Motherwell v Cove Rangers Hearts v Aberdeen Airdrie v Dundee United Stranraer v Celtic Rangers v Cowdenbeath St Mirren v Partick Annan v Hamilton Accies Raith Rovers v Hibernian Could see potential shocks at Airdrie, Linlithgow and Dundee games. East Kilbride and Lothian Thistle game means we are guaranteed at least one non league side in the 5th round.

Surprised there is no game thread up for this yet as game is tomorrow. Really need to win this one as imo our season hinges on doing very well in the Scottish Cup as realistically it is our only chance of winning something this season following the shambles at Easter Road. We have been comfortably the better team in the two league meetings this season so should be confident of being able to beat them again. Having a card happy clown like Beaton in charge should help us as well as I doubt he will let Hearts away with the rough house tatics of the last game at Pittodrie. That said game is Tynecastle and our recent record there speaks for itself. In Edinburgh City Social Club Away end Pub in town 3-1 Dons Rooney double and Hayes

Pretty much agree with this. Would rather see us recall Shankland than get another loan player in.

Benitez punted by Madrid and Zidane promoted from the B team until the end of the season. Thought Benitez was an odd appointment at the time but still a bit surprised he has gone this quickly.

Brilliant team goal for Madrid.

Officially confirmed that both McLaughlin and Parker will not be having their loan deals extended.

Game off water logged pitch.

In this window would like to see Mclauglin and Parker replaced with loan signings capable of contributing rather than just fill places on the bench. Goodwillie told to find another club and his wages used to find a striker to give an option other than Rooney. Robson should be moved on to coaching staff to free up wages for a player who could contribute on the pitch rather than just an influence off it. Long term agree with Bobby that a new keeper is a must or we stick with Rogers. No more grooming someone else's young players in that position. Would also like Reynolds and Considine tried at Centre half. New right back will also be required as cannot see Logan staying. Not Foster though. Progress into later rounds of the Scottish Cup is a must. Finishing 2nd with the budget we have compared to the rest should be a given for even a vaguely competent manager so a cup final is needed for this season to be a real success. Way we went out of the league cup still annoys me. Lastly would like to see manager make better use of his squad and to see younger players given more of a chance. If they are not good enough then move them on.

Bottling bastards. We have no plan B. We need to get shot of Goodwillie to allow us to bring in a striker who will actually contribute. Says a lot when you put Ash Taylor upfront to try and get a goal rather than bring on the striker from the bench.

From radio sounds like another first half where we have not turned up.

Oot Bed trying to shake off cold Couch listening to game Bed again 2-0 Rooney double. TinTin who posts on here occasionally needs Dons to win tonight to win £1,000. No pressure Dons.

Another game where we only played for one half. First half was the typical bottlecrash when we have a big crowd or the chance of going top. Caley adapted to the conditions far better in the first half and created the better chances. We were much better in second half especially after Gollum awarded Caley a very soft penalty. McGinn took his goal well and Rooney's penalty was well taken. Looked like hand ball from where I was sitting but radio suggested otherwise. Draw was probably fair result especially given the conditions. I am only just starting to dry out.

No Dicanio surprises me and as others have said would have thought Leighton, Snelders and Gordon would have made the list. The wage thief being on it instead of either Malpas or Davie Robertson is a farce.
