I get what you’re saying about McGregor mate but it would be wrong to drop McLaughlin for the final. He is the keeper that got us here so for me he has to play. 

I also like McLaughlin. We could bring McGregor on for the last 5 mins. if winning. Both get medals and would allow the fans to thank McGregor for his long service.

Team need to take out their midweek frustration on Hearts, hammer them and lift the cup!

[ThenNowForever 232]

I keep getting waves of crushing disappointment. The fact we can win a trophy we haven’t won for over a decade is picking me up though and that the champions league is still possible next season. 
 

Achieve both those things and it will give me some closure and let me look back on a great euro run with some happiness. The run brought so much to the club and fans.

I can’t wait to be back with 20,000 bears tomorrow.

Let’s do this.

Too a man the team were out on their feet and couldn’t have given any more on Wednesday. 
It’ll be a hard task picking themselves up both physically and mentally, even so our supporters can make all the difference by driving them on one more time this season.

Absolutely buzzing for this now.

Wednesday is done. It's always about the next game at Rangers and the next game is a trophy. It's what we live for.

[King Jela 20,361]

Still struggling to get up for this after Wednesday but I'm sure my mood will change tomorrow. 

Expecting a few changes and a tight win. Think McGlaughling, Davis, Ramsey and Sakala will come in.

On the keeper debate, McLaughlin needs to start and if we are winning by 2 clear goals with a minute or so left, McGregor should be subbed on to allow the fans to give him a proper send-off.

Best pub to watch this around about Hampden?

Some people owe Barisic an apology over “shitebag” comments on Wednesday night.

Bruno Alves was described as a shitebag despite rupturing his achilles and wearing a protective boot for weeks

Struggling to get up for this. Hopefully feel more like it tomorrow. Hate to think what they players mindsets are like, particularly with JB’s funeral today.

What a team we had in 1996. Gascoigne was the best midfielder England have had period. He was that good if he had stayed fit England could have won a major tournament. Laudrup was not too shabby either. Great days.

I'm still trying to get over Wednesday tbh.

It has been a tough week for the staff and players. Losing in the Europa final by the narrowest of margins then seeing Jimmy laid to rest today must have taken a lot out of them emotionally. They will undoubtedly be hurting knowing they narrowly failed to win the cup in his memory. Through no lack of effort may I add. 

Such are the trials and tribulations of football. Time to come together as a team and support and finish this season in style. Break our cup/Hampden jinx and thrash Hearts. 

Let's get back to winning cups for fun. Finish the season on a high. Our team and support deserve it.

Aribo instead of Arfield

I’m fed up with Aribo tbh. He’s one that I wouldn’t mind selling this summer if we received a good offer. I know he scored the goal on Wednesday but I just find his overall lack of intensity very frustrating.

[hawkfalcons 2,303]

Still gutted about Wednesday but sure once up tomorrow I be up for it

I was thinking that this morning mate, would be a great gesture.

Richard Foster is a fucking tool. Predicted Hearts 2-1. 

 

We will canter this, imo. 2-0.

Stranger things have happened. Will take a serious effort to get over Wed, take today into account, and then go up against a decent Hearts side.
