    Reporting.....again

    "...it was Motherwell who scrambled the lead in 52 mins. to send the maroon and yellow hordes wild" reported one Scottish paper.
    It's bordering on the offensive!

    The media isn't happy at us having the temerity to knock out Rangers. Paper after paper is labelling us as over aggressive or dirty. Brendan Rogers is also at it trying to influence referees ahead of the Final. For that he's lost my respect.

    Pots, kettles and black spring immediately to mind. Many fans of other clubs are convinced that one of his players has some kind of exemption from being carded. Then there was the Majstorovic tackle on Las at the start of our last cup final appearance.................

    I think we usually stay on the right side of the line from dirty, though Bowman certainly should have been red carded on Sunday. We're clearly aggressive though, very, in fact.

    Can't help smiling when I heard Alves was given a two match ban for lashing out at Moult. Pot, kettle, black.

    We beat Aberdeen 3 - 0. McInnes took his troops home to Aberdeen, brought them back battle ready to deal with our harrying and hassling, and - to my massive disappointment! - won the tight league game 1 - 0. That's football management I can appreciate. Compare, contrast, etc..

    Therein lies the difference McInnes with character and class versus the media apocalypse following Rangers exit form the cup.
    On a side note I was impressed by performance of Carson in the match.
