    The main thing for me is the BR factor..

    We'll be prepared properly and any tactics McIness can come up with, I'm confident BR will have an answer.

    We also have much more strength and depth, with the likes of Rogic, Forrest and maybe even Dembele on the bench.

    Fitness too, we look stronger and fitter than the rest so ET would have no fear.(expect we'll get it done in the 90 tho)

    Might be a bit tighter than the LC Final but not much.

    Rogic on at 60 mins or earlier if needed to make an impact.

    Anybody else a bit worried about this game or is just me ?
    I've got an uneasy feeling about this game especially with Madden the ref, I am sure this * will try and do us, and to think I used to think he was one of the better refs too. That with Aberdeen coming into a bit of form and being Cup specialists, and now they have found this Scott Wright, I'm a wee bit worried.

    I couldn't tell you mate because I don't follow Aberdeen, but I do know they have a habit of reaching Semi Finals and Cup Finals. They are second in the league, beat Rangers last week and rattled six past Thistle on Saturday, that is a bit of form.

    Well let me tell you 1995/96...

    If the season we've just had doesn't make you confident, a season that includes defeating Aberdeen 5 times including the LC Final, then you'll never be confident...

    I wouldn't say I am not confident, just wary and cautious going into this game.The other side have a vested interest in stopping the treble hence the picking of Madden as ref and no doubt * of linesmen too.But Aberdeen are coming into this game with a bit of form behind them. I don't think their past record will have any bearing on this game, they have plenty of goalscorers in that team, and that lad Wright looks a real danger to me.

    You're the one that called them Cup specialists..:56:

    Anyway, I'm sure Brendan will have us well prepared...

    I think it might be a tighter game than the LC final which was a stroll, but we should have enough.

    Eh you did see that one goal was a deflection and the other the keeper should have saved, whereas the player who cannot play on Saturday scored a class goal and a screamer.

    How the * are Aberdeen cup specialists? They've won one cup since 1996. In their entire history they've won the Scottish Cup 7 times and the League Cup 6 times.
