If we don't win the cup i really don't care who lifts it to be quite honest. Would like to see the dons papped out because they're fans really do annoy me...Good luck all the same sieb.

Indeed, but would be nice to see a new on trophy - Utd have their recent success - so come on Saints.

I - and about 100 000 people in the Aberdeen area, I suspect - didn't think Saints would do it. I'm beginning to wonder if I was starting to fall for the relentless drip of pro-Aberdeen hype. In fact some of the Dons' recent results haven't been that great; add to that the fact that other teams' managements will have been working out Aberdeen's tactics and, on reflection, it's not a massive surprise.
I'm not usually bothered about finals we're not in, but we have an interest here. A Utd win would suit us in 'Europe' terms, but I've a soft spot for Saints - a couple of seasons ago their stewards dealt very sensibly with our intinerant musicians - they got to stand, sing and drum; the rest of us got to see the game without recourse to paracetemol, and no crisis ensued. If they can do it...

Well done St.J must agree a Utd win would suit our plans to conquer Europe next season but somehow I think i'll be rootin for the Saints come the final. Yep the Dons have definitely turned the corner yet again...cup double, glory years, title challengers next year my ar5e. Glad to see them oot!!!!

The media were falling over themselves about Aberdeen weeks before they won the cup. Their fans think because they beat Smeltic twice in recent weeks they will be challenging for the title next season (read the comments on their site) cast your minds back we also beat Smeltic twice last season means ***** all.

And we've won Fpuck all for all the descent play / teams over the last few years. Folk remember the winners not the bit part players and for that reason Aberdeen can rightly crow. Sure they blew it today but at least they have something to show for their on field improvement.

I've been waiting 23 years and we are no nearer now than we were 23 years ago despite being handed some absolutely glorious opportunities. Those opportunities will lessen with the resurgence of a debt free Dundee Utd, Aberdeen a resurgent Rangers and the general improvement in our rivals financial positions. Where before we could compete while they all serviced huge debt but that's changing.

Historians of the game will look back on the Moltherwell's teams of the 2009 - 2014 era as one of the best in the league and ask how the fpuck failed so miserably when teams with less resource and **** poor teams took the prizes.

A sad but all so familiar position for us. The Motherwell team of the 30's & 50's were generally regarded as some of the finest teams ever yet struggled to claim the prizes. You look at p1sh like St Mirren and Kilmarnock a

That's an excellent post Mix.

Sadly bang on the money mix106. The baubles have been there to be won in recent years as Hearts, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, St.Mirren and Dundee Utd have shown. St.Johnstone may well add their to that list in a months time too. Sadly though we haven't even had a sniff in that time despite being in our best position in years on the park and instead have an embarrassing catalogue of exits to some absolute dross, for example; 1st division Inverness, a woeful Aberdeen side who couldn't buy a win against us in the league...twice, a poor Hibs side after Craigan sold the jerseys, Albion Rovers!!!, and a rank rotten The Rangers who had their 'best' players sitting in the stands while we capitulated against them. That is a truly shocking set of statistics.

Meanwhile all we've got to show for having the edge on the rest of the top flight outwith Celtic is a series of European non events which do us more harm than good as all they do is cost the club financially.

There is nothing I would love m
