Despite all the poor decisions yesterday, I enjoyed not having VAR.

Same here but the penalty would have been given if it was in operation..

Hate it when it's there and miss it when it isn't especially if a decision goes against you.

Que sera.

Not a bad draw getting Aberdeen who are no great shakes so far this season. It will be a tough one but no reason we can’t go up there and get the win but we need to address the striker issue between now and the end of the window for that to happen.

And as a side issue, as always seems to happen when we draw Aberdeen in a Cup, we are playing them the week after at Fir Park in the league so it becomes a double header against them.Β

It will be interesting to see how each team adjusts after the first game. It will be a good indication of JBAs tactical nous.Β

One thing that frustrates me about the cups for 20-30 years now

When we lose early in a competition, one or both Glasgow mobs go out early also

Any time we progress and get through they do the same then we meet at Hampden , I'd love to get to a final without playing either of them in it like 1991

Killie v Falkirk 1997 , St Mirren v Hearts , Ross County v Hibs etc etcΒ

I get what you’re saying but the reality is that you’re going to have to beat one of them if you want to win a Cup or even just get to a final.Β 

We did it in β€˜91 by beating Celtic in the Semis and of the examples you mentioned Falkirk beat Celtic in the SFs before they lost to Killie in 97 (Killie obviously got lucky there), St.Mirren beat Celtic in the LCSF before beating Hearts in the final and Ross County did the same in 2016 before beating Hibs. And of course we beat Rangers 2-0 in the League Cup Semis in 2017.Β

Yep what I was really meaning was we get either Rangers or Celtic , and when we eventually do beat one of them in the 2017 semi we get Celtic in the final

Other teams seem to get a more favourable run , which could explain how they have won silverware and we haven'tΒ 

Hopefully it will change soon
