Both Wee Jum and his players were so much better than that list! That list is pretty phenomenal but Jim and the players deserved many more of them Semi and finals to read ‘winners’

We should really have had double digit winners medals in the 80s alone!

Edited to say this isn’t a criticism of Jim or anyone else just a sad observation
I would agree with that. Some of those cup final defeats though were we didn't sometimes get the breaks. 87 cup final although we never looked like losing and Ferguson's goal would stand nowadays Gallagher lying in the back of net ??? 88 cup final we were comfortable and always remember Bannon with a header that he headed into ground and bouncing over the bar from 6 yards which would have made it 2-0. 91 final again could have went either way.
Although it was still all made possible in the first place by Wee Jum.
