Just a bairn Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Easy to comment on other teams performances but I genuinely fail to see how we could be as shite as Aberdeen were last night. Spineless, weak and totally clueless. We’ll be in for a tough afternoon but I don’t see us rolling over like Aberdeen did.

knee jerk reaction Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Didn't see all the Darvel game but from what I did see and what I've seen this season on TV, Aberdeen look to have the same fighting/team spirt as our lot over the last couple of seasons* *Not including this season! For all the posts saying "they'll be favourites" it be like us being favourites v all championship sides, Dundee U, Motherwell or Kilmarnock, St Johnstone etc because we beat Hibs in the league cup!! If we treat the game properly and put in a performance we get through Edited January 24 by knee jerk reaction 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know what division Darvel were in, called them a junior side, couldn't name their centre backs etc. Surely, if anything, McGlynn won't be that stupid. I'm sorry but that result is all on the spineless Aberdeen players on the pitch, it should not matter who the manager is, they should have more than enough to win that tie. Well done Darvel though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgenarse Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 More chance of game being televised now a west of Scotland team playing. The feel good factor of a) a cup shock and b) easier tie for us has been wrecked by all these knuckle dragging currant buns going on about Aberdeen only raising game against "the famous" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if he didn't know their centre backs considering he played and managed the captain, as well as a good few others, at Alloa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out this league first, the cup's a bonus. If it was Aberdeen we got then I'd agree but this is now a big chance to essentially plug the gap we had for the year. Get to the quarter finals and get a good draw then we've probably made a good 200/300k on the cup which would be massive for us. It doesn't need to be one competition over another. If it was then whats the fucking point in playing in the first place? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you rather have, us getting promoted this season OR beating Darvel in the next round of the cup?

No reason to choose one over the other. There is absolutely no correlation between them. Somebody mentioned a 60k difference (excluding any TV money) between beating and losing to Darvel. That equates 240 season ticket sales or the equivalent of about 416 extra FSS memebers for a year donating £12 a month. Breaking it down like that into numbers we can all associate with surely we can see the importance of winning the game now that we are in a position to do so. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it have to be one or the other? I'd view both as perfectly realistic objectives. If they aren't, just shut the doors and forget the whole enterprise. You'd genuinely think we were facing a trip to the Etihad or Bernabeu the way some are going on. I fully expect us to both beat Darvel and get out out of this utter shit tip of a league at the fourth time of asking. Anything less is failure. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these clubs will be still seen as junior clubs for a while yet I'd think. In fact quite a number in that league still have juniors in their name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
