Do you also include 1976 in that , I think that was worse than airdrie especially the circumstances involved. Jrp Gordon you were a cheating bastard. 

I do. That was probably the second worst for me.

But Airdrie was the worst for a few reasons for me. Partly because it was the first semi final I had been to and, naively, expected us to win (even more when it went to a replay). Partly because Airdrie were genuine local rivals that season. Partly because of the Stuart Rennie steps debacle that cost us the game.

Fair enough.

I need to give a shout out to Sods - a player I've given a lot of stick too last year

I was pleased he was playing on Saturday and not put a foot wrong this season

Well done my man

Absolutely this

I met Robbie Neilsons mum and dad on the bus way back into Aberdeen from the game. They were honestly super lovely and happy that we won. 

(they weren't at the game), just there for the weekend

Speak for yourself.

If St.Mirren are in the final I certainly won’t be cheering them on.

If we can’t have our ‘day in the sun(even though it will be mid-winter)’ then I don’t want any non OF club to have theirs.

Completely agree imagine if St Mirren win 2 major trophies in the last 15 years No way would I want that. A team we wouldn't have seen in our way over the last 30 years. Ours will be a real hard tie to win St Mirren are no mugs

Diddy's United v The Ugly Sisters.

Its the rules.

I look forward to St Mirren fans supporting us against whoever we get in the final! 😉

A good draw for us as its its a tough but winnable tie. Given that the gate receipts are shared, I doubt if the draw will make much difference.  Had Sevco and Celtic been kept apart, neither tie would have been anywhere near a sell out. As it is, the OF game will be a guaranteed sell out. 

Almost certainly, the Police will allocate us the east side of the stadium. Anything else would be ridiculous.

Will help a lot if we are back to full strength for the semi. 
If we do make it to the final, I hope it is versus Rangers so that Welsh can play.

Totally agree. we played Rangers of the pitch in the first half, and the Rangers players had a word with that excuse for an unbiased referee and he gave them a ridiculous penalty, with Derek Johnstone running away from the goals, went down without being touched. Total fix.

When the 1970's version of the SFA suspends you for improper behaviour, like they did with Gordon, you must have been really corrupt.

I didn't know that he was suspended by the sfa. But I seem to remember some kind of bribery accusations involving an Italian team , but I might be wrong.

I think that's when he was suspended. 

I'm sure there were other stories that came out later too.

Indeed, I get no satisfaction whatsoever seeing other provincial clubs doing well, it just annoys me that it isn’t us.

On a completely different note, should we manage to win the league cup (a very, very tall order I know) we can do so in the knowledge that we don’t get European qualification as a result. For me personally and from what I’ve seen from your posts that is a big positive! We win a big shiny domestic trophy and we are spared the embarrassment/damp squib that the European ‘award’ would inevitably bring.

Happy days eh! 🏆

No mugs just thugs as usual they will try and kick us off the park.
