The Dumbarton.

Apologies if I missed it but has there been any news on the pitch for next season? Reseeded or new surface? Just wondered as it was fairly poor last season. I did not notice the usual photos of a dug up pitch that we normally see.

Passed it about quite well though the opposition were very poor. First was a good finish from a poorly defended corner. Second was a decent finish where he went for near post wrong footing the goalkeeper who was expecting a shot in far corner. Third was a fairly simple finish at the back post though he did well to get in the right place. Fourth was bundled in at the front post after a good build up. Overall a much better display than Friday though other team were very poor. Having said that we often struggle to score against poor sides. Also let two or three make their debuts without pressure.

See Italy lost 3-0 in Norway in a World Cup match . Clark will not be only manager under pressure.

Dreadful. Assume we will never see the goalie again. McGinn looked knackered from the start. Why play him? The manager knows what he can do. Why is Hanley still there? Absolutely nothing up front. I thought Clark should have gone after the Euros. Do not know if there is any point changing now. Hirst did his best but does not really look International level. Not sure if the value of these friendlies at this time of the season as most of the players just want to be on their holidays. Therefore, start more youngsters and maybe try a different system.

Well done Burgh. I was at both games in 1968 at Hampden. Long time to go without a cup.

Paris on a different planet to Inter. Could have been 6 or 7. Wonderful performance .

Cheers Shull. I was in a pub in Glasgow at lunchtime but watched the draw live on your link. Thank you.

Livingston deserved to win. County deserve to go after three bottom two finishes. Hopefully their new pitch is better than their old one.

2-1 half time. Livingston probably the better side but very poor standard. Livingston gifted the second goal but scored a very good goal to cut defecit.

Aberdeen win on penalties. Poor match but do not imagine Aberdeen give a toss.

Penalties. Commentator sounds like someone from Celtic TV. Dreadful. Barely mentions Aberdeen.

Goes to extra time. Aberdeen finally brought on a quick winger and a big centre and suddenly managed a few attacks. Not sure why they could not have tried it sooner. Maeda missed a good chance two minutes from time.

1-1. Celtic goalie throws one in the net. Still a poor match but at least now a competition. Aberdeen might still not have had a shot on target.

Celtic one up in Cup Final. Scruffy goal in a scruffy match. Aberdeen yet to lay a g love on them.
