Semi Final: Aberdeen vs Celtic
Zapp Brannigan replied to Melanius Mullarkey's topic in Domestic Cup Football
I'm out of the UK for this one. Anyone know if I can purchase the game on Red TV without having to pay a monthly/yearly subscription fee for International for just this game? -
I'm not a Rovers fan but I could watch that goal over and over and over again. What a class moment

I went this long into the season not knowing who United's keeper is. Definitely wasn't the case last season. Probably a preferable situation for them but way less funny. Great game so far!

The Dons v Motherwell
Zapp Brannigan replied to Dons_1988's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Too tight to call so think they just stuck with the on field decision which I can accept. VAR is still shite though -
The Dons v Motherwell
Zapp Brannigan replied to Dons_1988's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Certainly looks like they've put the wrong colours to the lines in case that's the way it's supposed to be... -

Hopefully at whatever seaside English League club Derek Adams ends up at next that he takes Shayden Morris with him. Clearly too good for this level -
The Dons v Motherwell
Zapp Brannigan replied to Dons_1988's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I feel like we've not scored a set piece since Allan Russell was coaching them and we had Ramsay pinging them in. We must be the least threatening team in the league from them. We also don't score unless it's Miovski and/or a penalty so putting all my hopes there -
VAR in Scottish Football
Zapp Brannigan replied to Les Cabbage's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I think it could be fixable if there is an appeals system in place. Say 1 appeal allowed per half for each team. If you are successful then you get to keep it. You would also have to explicitly say what you're appealing for. Not just - "I don't like it that the opposition scored, I'm going to appeal." For example if Rangers at the weekend said we think there was a foul on Goldson in the box then that's what gets reviewed, anything else is left to the on field decision. There can't be any other infractions assessed like in the Newcastle game where they checked 3 different things which was a nonsense. It's becoming more VR than VAR as games are being dictated by the cameras than the actual referees now so what's the point in having them on the field at all -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
Zapp Brannigan replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I was thinking maybe move Jensen in there and put Angus into the back 3? Mackenzie doesn't really play as a wing back and I imagine we'll try to play quite compact to start with -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
Zapp Brannigan replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
McGarry is too much of a wannabe trickster from what I've seen of him so far. Could be entertaining further up the pitch where Duk has been "playing" but not sure I trust him in defence in a cup final tbh -
Killie v Dons
Zapp Brannigan replied to 1GregStewart's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
First of all well done to Killie, totally deserved the win. Could and should have been a humping scoreline reflective of the game. Aberdeen were dreadful... atrocious. As has been said, Robson probably deserved the job after the achievements last season but I think it's best we find something else before next weekend and the tough run of fixtures afterwards where we could really be in trouble after those. Was willing to give him a little longer but after the nonsense he came out with about the Kilmarnock pitch, I'm sorry but I don't want that kind of anti football mentality and I'm sure the players don't respect that either. They are better than this hoofball, no urgency dross we've been seeing far too much -

Zapp Brannigan replied to DA Baracus's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I know from listening to the Terrace that you used to be a ref, therefore probably have a better understanding of the rules than myself and most on here. I honestly thought that Hatate touched the ball before Findlay attempted to clear but I must be wrong. In any case Findlay wouldn't mess up the clearance if Hatate isn't standing right in the way, so I think he is interfering whether intentionally or not -
Sportscene watch
Zapp Brannigan replied to DA Baracus's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
What a heap of shite they're coming out with to try and justify the decision. Clear offside as Hatate touching the ball dictates where the ball ends up whether he means it or not. Since when has intent to play the ball mattered when someone has actually connected with it while in an offside position? Guaranteed that goal gets called off if it happens at the other end -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
Zapp Brannigan replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I did hear a rumour that he'd been caught sticking his little toffee pudding in an oven he shouldn't have, if you get what I mean... But it's probably shite. Or maybe not -
The Famous Aberdeen’s European Tour 2023/24
Zapp Brannigan replied to Frank Grimes's topic in Scots in Europe
A pretty dire performance with a fortunate result. Midfield nowhere to be seen most of the game. Clarkson, in particular, very poor again. Less said about Duk the better. Needs taken out the team, a shadow of what he was last season -
Once he realised it's probably not in his skill set (currently) to be the ball playing CB at that level, he wisely started playing more safe. I actually thought Celtic were at their best in the second half when they calmed down and just stroked the ball around waiting for openings rather than being too gung ho. I think it's a weakness of Scottish clubs in general in Europe that they try too hard to get the ball forward when a more patient approach and getting time on the ball might be more beneficial. I agree about O'Reilly. Celtic's best player by a mile and probably the next big transfer fee move away if he continues. Maeda for all his work rate is infuriating. Constantly getting caught offside despite looking down the line in his position the whole night

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66999379 Decent article on BBC about our chances. Depending on which version of our defence turns up it could be a high scoring game
