There was no good draw for Morton.
![]() I don't mind Morton, been in their end a few times a while ago when my mate played for them. Remember a cracking atmosphere at a league cup game at the old Rugby Park when Morton beat them years ago. ![]() Apart from Billy dodds cheating us out of a win in a 96 league cup tie, diving in the last minute to win a penalty to take game to extra time which we went on to lose 7-3 nothing against Aberdeen especially with Del Boy in charge I see Aberdeen anyway have confirmed on twitter the game is at Hampden 22nd October a 1215 kick off |

While Wednesday-Saturday is usually fine, I believe clubs do have a veto on a lunchtime kick-off.
Saturday evening was obviously out and the SPFL wouldn't want to clash with a league game. Hence, Sunday 2.15pm. Morton v Aberdeen at Hampden is a dreadful decision. They'll be lucky if it's half-full. |

They'll be lucky if it's half-full. The Aberdeen - St Johnstone semi at Tynecastle a couple of years ago was a sell out and the atmosphere was fantastic. It would also look far better on tv to see a packed ground rather than a 1/3 full stadium with a rubbish atmosphere. |

Unless Morton are bringing around 10,000 then it's a shocking decision.

If any of these clubs are not playing each other or old firm in semis they should always be in Edinburgh |

The problem is there are no 25000- 30000 Scottish stadiums however these are needed when it's the Edinburgh clubs, Dundee United, Aberdeen etc meeting each other there are none so they go to Hampden by default .
If any of these clubs are not playing each other or old firm in semis they should always be in Edinburgh I think there were 1,000 or so who missed out when we played St Johnstone but I'd still rather see a few locked out than 30,000 empty seats. |

Just listened to Sutton slaughtering him there, superb. Derek Johnstone is a big blubbering daftie and a Sevco mouthpeice, he is an embarrassment as is Dalziel also on Clyde, both of them sound like they share the one brain cell, how they got jobs in the media I dont think anyone could tell you.
Nobody can really disagree with Sutton either, says referees are shite - they are, says Forrester should have been off - he should, says Warburtons clueless - he is, says Sevco got pumped - they did, says Ronny was clueless - he was, says Celtic were shite in Europe - they were etc he just says things how they are that others wouldnt. Other guys in the media are all back patting and scared to say a word about anyone and spout nonsense we've all hear a million to just go through matches and collect their pay. |

Chris Sutton "the last time the Rangers were drubbed, pumped... humiliated"

The same Sutton who failed miserably as a manager at Lincoln? Couldn't lace Johnstone's boots as a player either.

A 25,000 stadium would be ideal for those matches.

BFDJ going on about Sutton not possibly knowing what he said about Whyte and Green is akin to the journo who claimed that Craig Whyte paid to have his google history deleted. |

Aberdeen statement read out on Radio Scotland basically saying they don't want the semi final at Hampden and certainly not at the kick off time it has.

Perfect response though.
It might sound bizarre but I am still thinking we are lacking a bit of killer instinct. Far too many shots not hitting the target. |

Perhaps it could get moved to Edinburgh though |
