Cruel for Chelsea.

Poor first half. If the second doesn’t improve, I’m away for my tea.

Sure don't - they're smaller. Remember when we used to finish school we'd bomb down to the factory, climb over the wall and fill our schoolbags with the rejects till mum told me off, saying they were the floor sweepings!

Much smaller and barely smeared with what’s supposed to be chocolate.

When my big brother was an apprentice he and his mates from the yard had no worries about eating rejects.

They don’t make them now like she did.

There’s not a team like these Glasgow Rangers.

Enhanced that for you.

I agree about kick-off time and semis played at Villa Park. The event itself is contaminated by the ugly sisters, Show-Biz and Advertising.

Chelsea and Leicester are very good teams but I have no interest in either. Chelsea are the better. 
 

Would the tims be miffed if Brendan won it?

I’ll have a look at it until I get called for my tea but I’ll be wishing I was watching something like Preston North End v Sheffield Wednesday, 1950s vintage.

Some of these Championship days have been an anti-climax. If anyone is fated to spoil the record it’s Aberdeen.

To Hell with that. 5-0 to the Famous.

A lot of the folk in the pictures had a studenty look to them.

I’m not as familiar as I used to be with Glasgow and its inhabitants but I didn’t see any McFlannels there.

Sky are going to have 3 cameras focused outside the stadium, rather than on the game.  And its guaranteed other broadcasters will be doing the same, and in town too.

There will be a disturbance of some description possibly provoked by the usual suspects and then escalated by police activity. On Monday SG will pressurise SFA (it won’t take much)to revoke any permit Rangers need to play in a UEFA competition.

I wonder who would take Rangers’ place?

Now we know. Behind that username, it’s Captain Mainwairing.

Well done, celtic. (That’s like speaking in a foreign language)

Should have eliminated this nonsense years ago but it would be churlish not to acknowledge a faltering step along the path to good sense. How long before they scamper back to their default position of idiocy?

Just as well you reminded me, compo.

I’ll leave the cup final ‘til later. Heavy analysis of form data and predictive outcomes to be done, though Chelsea will win easy.

What teams are in the Lowland League?

Kelty Hearts. B Ferguson, Manager.

If they beat Brechin City they’ll be into League 2.

Other notables, Berwick Rangers, East Stirlingshire, a couple of University teams and the legendary Bonnyrigg Rose. 
 

I can see the point of a team of very young players in that league to develop a club/team ethos and method.  The older youngsters having passed through that stage and near to breaking into the top side would be better off on loan to clubs at a much higher level.

people might have wondered about the empty stands

To be fair, Hibs usually take a decent following to a semi or a final. But as Alec McCleish once remarked, where do they go on a Saturday?

OUT – Filip Helander – Aston Villa & Leicester City

I know he’s good but I don’t think even he could play for both of them.

Apologies. I didn't see it. 

In a different thread. I’m less upset by Chelsea’s money than I was by the Showbiz tomfoolery of the 60s.

Saw about ten minutes of highlights. Looked like an old fashioned football match with Hibs playing some good stuff and Nisbet as greedy for goals as a young McCoist.

Anyone give me a reality check? Were the other eighty minutes dross?

I’ve already done that.

Whats your like about them MrScott if I may ask?

As a callow youth I was influenced by a cup final victory and a centre forward called Ronnie Allen a Jeff Astle  of his time.

As for the Hammers, Ray Stewart was a cracking good player.

Four of these clubs have been league champions and five have been cup winners. Sunderland and Wednesday have the biggest potential. I don’t see Ipswich reaching the heights again.

Im hoping for the Owls as well. Nothing much against Derby except Rooney so goodbye Rotherham.
