Try the Beechwood. 5 mins walk from Hampden. Not thee best but sells alcohol and serves food.

 

 

 

I'm driving down, any advice on car parking near Hampden?.

Park at the big Asda right next to the stadium. Free and easy to get to and from. If you are lucky and don't get a ticket from the private parking company that works for Asda

Is it not the case that those tickets are not legally enforceable in Scotland?

 

Urban myth. With new powers they can ask DVLA for keeper details and can take the person through the justice system just like any other debt. Private land (if notices are visable) can charge for parking by law.

The referee for tomorrow's game against Divedee United is Craig Thompson.

I hope we retain Baptie for another couple of seasons. He's got potential. Presume Ferguson will be kept on as well.

Baptie has been told he won't be offered a new contract

- and a decision on Ferguson will be given next week.

The Baptie one is a shame as I thought he could have pushed for a place in the match day squad next season. IMHO one of the only bright spots for the Dev. Team this season.

On Kink, I remember very similar things being said on here about Billy Mckay and Adam Rooney in their first season with us. Give the guy a chance. It's encouraging to see we are still talking at this stage to all 7 players and no-one has had a "That's the best we can offer yet" as Butcher liked to tell the press when it was clear someone was leaving.

In his career, he's issued more yellow and more red cards to Falkirk than he has to Inverness, despite officiating two fewer ICT games. (34 ICT matches - 32 Falkirk matches).

We need to stop being so paranoid. After what happened in the semi, can we really be in a position to criticise referees?!

I'm certainly not paranoid about referees in general. My problem is with Collum. Two Aberdeen supporting friends of mine were coming to the final until Collum was announced. Now both have said they are not going as there is a massive chance Collum will ruin the match for the fans and as a spectacle for anyone watching. Virtually every fan who has seen Collum referee thinks he is a egotistical headline grabber.

I don't agree about Divedee Utd not being over physical, have you not seen Ciftci, Erskine. McGowan , Dillon and the CH Gobsh**e or what ever he's called. If ever a team will try to hamper our cup final plans it will be this lot. Watch for diving, elbows, feigning of injuries and total all round cheating.

I would go with Tommy the groundsman in goals, a back two of John Doc and Kellacher, MIke Noble at left mid, the one and only Yogi Hughes at centre half, Auldie at right mid, a forward line of Russel Latapy left wing Charlie Christie, inside left, Kenny Cameron, centre forward, nice lady on reception at inside right and guy in the car park on the right wing

I think 2 - 3 - 5 might be a bit risky as a formation but could change it round at half time if we were struggling.

Can't believe you'd drop the guy in the Sports Bar that sells the Half Time Draw tickets.

All we need to do now is win the Europa League and we will be in the Champions League in 2016/2017 season. Hope it doesn't affect our SPFL form that season!!

Tickets bought today for the North Stand as they have given us more tickets for this stand today. Asked about ticket sales and although non committal it looks very healthy for under a week.

Mayweather has actually said he will fight once more in September before retiring, but also left himself a get out by saying he is human and contradicts himself. One more victory would see him 49 fights as an undefeated champion equal to Rocky Marciano, and I think Mayweathers ego would want to break that record.

Chance to give Devine some game time and move Josh over to RB.

Meekings. Warren. Devine. Shinnie

Dick Campbell at Forfar should have been in with a shout. Tipped to be relegated but on the brink of automatic promotion. But I do think Yogi should win it if we win the cup but as its decided before then I don't know who will win.

What you should look at is Butcher or Butcher and Malpas. Together at Motherwell and ICT they did a good job.Butcher on his own at Sunderland, Coventry, Sydney and Brentford was a disaster. I think you can discount his time at Hibs as the club was rotten from the top to the bottom and players were on good money but didn't care.

If this was 10 years ago, or even 5, I would say yes but not now. Mayweather will be too good for the Pacman now but not when they were in their prime. Massive money making exercise.

Was expecting people not being happy with the areas given. From what I can gather (and I could be wrong) the Clockwork Beer Co. will be for Falkirk fans only as they have the west end of the ground.

With Sky having no ICT goals in the top ten goals for this season, what, apart from Dave the Rave at Hampden, was our best goal this season?

But of course the best scenario is finishing 3rd as it gives the club more money and winning the cup allows the two week extra break to prepare

Plus more money in the kitty for replacement players and renewing contracts.

My view of the match was

The Good - started well made loads of chances

The Bad - Missed several goals should have had 4 before half time

The Ugly - Finished with poor passing , lack of composure , They made Aberdeen look like there were 14 players in red shirts and against only 10 in blue. Total shambles at the end, quite frankly didn't look fit.

This must be the only fan forum that trolls from within.

Scott Brown push on the Divedee Utd player in the box in the LC final when score was 0-0

Costa del Nairn.

Nick Ross was my Motm,so thought it odd he got taken off

Strange game, we should've been 2 up at ht. Started the second half well, got the goal then seemed to invite them onto us and we went into panic mode.

No idea what to make of Ofere. Can't knock his scoring stats so far, but his touch is awful, and playing a ball for him to run onto is a waste of time and he appears to lack the vital ingredient for that tactic...any semblance of pace.

Can't disagree more about Ofere. I think he looks the part and each game I see him he gets better. He is strong and defences seem to struggle with him giving more space for others to use. My only problem is he is very one footed.

What was the home crowd like?

Quiet as usual!
