Kowalski Posted May 17, 2017 Report Posted May 17, 2017 Any pre match plans in Glasgow anywhere? Quote
Madbadteacher Posted May 17, 2017 Report Posted May 17, 2017 Really looking forward to this now, any ideas how I can watch it here in 'murca? Quote
Garlogie_Granite Posted May 22, 2017 Report Posted May 22, 2017 And given Aberdeen are a big team its probably fair to say some refs will like Aberdeen? No? I can think of 3 or 4 Premier League referees from the past who came from Aberdeen? There are no current Aberdonian refs, so your assumption is massive. The only Aberdonian ex-refs in my lifetime that I can think of are Sandy Roy & Alan Freeland, who else? Quote
Nips_and_Tatties Posted May 22, 2017 Report Posted May 22, 2017 All i'm saying is if Reynolds plays in the final, u can bet ur ass, Celtic will target him huge. I thought Reynolds was all over the shop in that first half. Quote

manc_don Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Posted May 23, 2017 Have to say, AFC have done a good job on the PR front in advertising this. Seems like a lot of folk have taken them up on wee poster you can adapt and put in your window: http://www.afc.co.uk/downloads/2017_afc_cup_final_poster_editable.pdf Hopefully the Friday Red and White day is a great success Gutted I can't make the game myself, but absolutely buzzin' for it!

OxfordDon Posted May 23, 2017 Report Posted May 23, 2017 Anyone watching thon cup preview on the BBC website - God and Neale Cooper on it with some other lesser mortals. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/scotland/40004627 Just tuned in the now myself and wound it back to the start edit - 30 seconds in and already Chick Young can fuck off.

Nips_and_Tatties Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40025643 Shinnie Captain. Brilliant and well deserved. Quote
manc_don Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Posted May 24, 2017 Tried that link OD, but i'm guessing you were on a tablet? This was the one I listened to, was great: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p053srh1#play Quote
OxfordDon Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Tried that link OD, but i'm guessing you were on a tablet? This was the one I listened to, was great: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p053srh1#play Aye that's the same thing, the link i put up was a live video stream of the studio which was being put out on the BBC Sport site, but which probably only lasted as long as the program I don't know how it came across on the radio, but one of the best bits was when God thanked Chick Young for being present "as a Rangers fan to balance the panel out" - the camera cut to Chick sputtering furiously while turning an odd colour, before cutting back to the entire panel laughing at him Overall though i was pleasantly surprised by the chat, i'd expected a barrage of misty-eyed 1967 memories and "invincible" fawning (especially when Chick kicked off the program with "Scottish Cup - does anyone fancy Aberdeen in this whole building?"), but God and Tattie held their own well.

You could tell, it was brilliant. I just knew Chick was sweating profusely! Thanks for the heads up anyway, a great listen. Quote
manc_don Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Posted May 26, 2017 I love this. Feels like a lot of positivity around this final, more so than any other in recent memory. Quote
Nips_and_Tatties Posted May 26, 2017 Report Posted May 26, 2017 Its on at 12am til 2am. I was going to record it and get up early Sunday morning to watch it. However, I feel I would lose some of my Aberdeen supporting soul if I waited til the morning. So 2am it is and waking up fooking knackered and hungover. Hmm.what to do.I'm staying up.deffo. Wud anyone call me a wanker if I went to bed and watched it in the morning? Quote
francis_begbie Posted May 26, 2017 Report Posted May 26, 2017 I have a spare ticket for the West Stand if anyone still needs one Quote
baggy89 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Posted May 26, 2017 Got myself a ticket last night and sorted flight to Edinburgh that requires me to leave my pit at 0500 tomorrow. Quote
RicoS321 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Posted May 26, 2017 Wud anyone call me a wanker if I went to bed and watched it in the morning? Yes. 2am isn't really that late for a Saturday night is it? You'll regret it if you don't. You can turn it off when we go 3 up. Quote
