The fuck you pointing the finger at me for

That may have been the case back when you and Neil Warnock were kids, but not these days. If anything, the two sides meeting in any other round of the competition is better for the broadcasters than it is them meeting in the final.

McCabe would be my choice with a couple of years to bed his philosophy in however glass had a philosophy and got hounded from day one for being Dave's mate in on the cheap. This meant that he didn't get much goodwill when the team floundered. Sadly I think McCabe would also be seen as a cheap option and suffer a similar fate at Aberdeen. I'm sure he will go on to do well in future but I don't think he'll get the chance with us.

I think we are getting hugely above our station in the footballing world because everyone is spending too much time looking at what goes down in England. There are certainly more add ons to running our club now than in years gone by but at the same time, we are not Real Madrid or Man Utd. We play (usually) one game a week and if things are being done properly we need to recruit maybe half a dozen players each season. This begs the question what on earth would a technical director, a director of football and a recruitment director do for 40 hours a week? It might sound simplistic but if you have a competent Chief Executive which I am assuming Burrows is, a few decent scouts plus the manager and his assistant then surely that is enough to identify who we want to sign, to complete the transfer process and to put a team out on the park at the weekend. I would be pretty confident that you could fire the director of football, the head of recruitment, get rid of the sports science and employ a steady Eddie old school type manager who knows the Scottish game and we would be higher up the league than we are at the moment. I just don't think you need all these people.

Pretty sure Berti Vogts is available. Although he may be older than Warnock by now….

Useless information that will do nothing for you: Since our last Hampden meeting in 1996, it is now eight times in a row that Aberdeen & Hearts have been in a semi-final draw together and have avoided each other. In that time we've faced Celtic in (I think) four semi-finals and four finals (8). Rangers two semi-finals and two finals (4). Hibs in four semi-finals. Dundee United in four semi-finals. In fact in the entire history of Aberdeen & Hearts, two clubs who make it to semis and finals more than most, we've only played each other in two semis and one final. One of those semis was at Easter Road so it's just two Hampden meetings. Like I said, useless information, but mildly interesting for fitba geeks.

Well.

Whoever we get hopefully he doesn't take a couple of training sessions and think "My, that Shayden Morris looks a player"
