Cheated out of a Cup.

[servicepoint]

We can go into all the reasons why We didn’t actually win it, missed chances, there were a few, missed penalty, yes that too but all that aside when officials fail to do the simplest bid tasks and flag a blatant offside we are truly proverbially pissing into the wind.
I called it immediately as did many round about me that they , yes they, more than one, were offside yet the official couldn’t call it, not difficult it’s his remit, he should have been level but failed to do the simplest of tasks and flag for offside.

Pissing in the wind, unfortunately yes we absolutely are.

A cup, 2 points and an injury to Davis all attributable to horrendous officiating.

 

[King Baldwin IV]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

 

[dirtyharry]

It was the most basic of decisions for an assistant to make.
A dead ball situation, the easiest of them all.

Scared shitless to call it correct.........there is the problem.

 

[dirtyharry]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

Don't really give a shit how your concerned.

It was blatantly offside and shouldn't have been a goal.

 

[govwalker]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

Aww ffs bollocks.

We had 22 Shots at Goal.

Hardly bottling it gee me peace ffs.

Surely that is bottling it ? Dominating the game and not having the bottle to see it through to victory

 

[Forever blue]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

Bullshit

 

[Fred-Bassey]

Yawn. Let's blame the ref. We had umpteen shots on goal and a penalty and still didn't score.

 

[govwalker]

Surely that is bottling it ? Dominating the game and not having the bottle to see it through to victory

Hows that bottling it?

8-10 decent saves by Lurch.

 

[shug1971]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

Shut up we battered them for 89 minutes

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

Bullshit

We did! Hammered them for 90 minutes but we were still unable to beat them despite them being down to 10 men and us rewarded a penalty

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

Hows that bottling it?

8-10 decent saves by Lurch.

Because we never f ucking won the game despite them being down 10 men and us missing a penalty!

Switch off your router mate.

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

Switch off your router mate.

So how would you describe it then?

 

[Mustang mad]

Surely that is bottling it ? Dominating the game and not having the bottle to see it through to victory

Bottling it, imo, would have been a number of players not turning up, showing no fight and accepting being behind.
We were immense today. Beaten by a ridiculous performance by their keeper.
You can argue about offside and maybe another pen, no way did we bottle it though

 

[King Baldwin IV]

Don't really give a shit how your concerned.

It was blatantly offside and shouldn't have been a goal.

Sound mate.

We should have beat them comfortably, offside goal or not.

 

[Cooperfan]

Sadly these games pop up now and again. You batter them but can't score, they then score with their only shot on target. Then to make it worse it's blatantly offside.

On the plus side we look a far better team and should be confident of turning them over at the pigsty.

 

[stein and johnston]

How can anyone say we bottled it today.??
Yes, chances were missed. But no way we bottled it.. F*****g crazy to think that.

 

[Dorrans]

Surely that is bottling it ? Dominating the game and not having the bottle to see it through to victory

Eh naw. Bottling it would be if the players being overawed and failing to turn up. In reality they made the scum look 2nd best. Had Forster not had his game of the season we would have won with goals to spare. Unlucky yes, cheated arguably, but 'bottled it'. Complete nonsense.

 

[govwalker]

Because we never f ucking won the game despite them being down 10 men and us missing a penalty!

Bad luck and good saves is hardly bottling it ffs.

Some amount crap posted in here tonight.

We were probably the unluckiest team in the history of this fixture today. Ever.

 

[RenfrewBear72]

Ryan Jack was out for a season and the officials done feck all about it.
Pointless even trying to win anything up here.

 

[dirtyharry]

Sound mate.

We should have beat them comfortably, offside goal or not.

You do realise that was the difference?

 

[From1872]

Yawn. Let's blame the ref. We had umpteen shots on goal and a penalty and still didn't score.

They got their goal from the ref. He also denied us another penalty but yes let’s just ignore these facts as they don’t really influence the game.

 

[Cooperfan]

Surely that is bottling it ? Dominating the game and not having the bottle to see it through to victory

Surely bottling it would be failng to register a shot on target (if the officials were competent)?

 

[Forever blue]

We did! Hammered them for 90 minutes but we were still unable to beat them despite them being down to 10 men and us rewarded a penalty

So you agree we battered them ..but we still bottled it ? ..whit the fuk .. sometimes you need a bit of luck no matter how good you are ..and also for decisions to be called correctly ..I left hampdump tonight in disbelief at what I had witnessed

 

[Bluefin221]

When are the club going to start highlighting it, as frankly Aberdeen during the week and now Hampden at the weekend officials have cost us the win.

 

[alexg123]

Even Gollum has just said they scored with a much debated off side goal . It’s so blatantly off side and should never have been allowed .

 

[bilkobear]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

What did we bottle?
We took the match to them for almost its entirety.
Players showed for the ball at every opportunity, we were brave in possession and resolute when not in possession and stopped them from playing.
We carved their defence open time and time again and put most of our shots on target.
As an attacking force, they barely laid a glove on us.
Their goalkeeper, on the other hand, played out of his skin, carried a ton of luck and was the MOTM.

What exactly did we bottle?

 

[shug1971]

Because we never f ucking won the game despite them being down 10 men and us missing a penalty!

If the linesman does his job we don’t lose a goal

 

[Bigbluebear]

Surely that is bottling it ? Dominating the game and not having the bottle to see it through to victory

Nope. Bottling it would have been us being shite, creating nothing, being easily brushed off the ball, giving away cheap goals etc.

We did not bottle it. Were it not for their keeper having the game of his life we walk out of there comfortable winners.

 

[Bob Belcher]

How can anyone say we bottled it today.??
Yes, chances were missed. But no way we bottled it.. F*****g crazy to think that.

It's folk not having a basic understanding of what bottling it actually means.

 

[King Baldwin IV]

You do realise that was the difference?

I said we should have beat them comfortably. Not we should have drawn and gone to ET.

 

[Whosthedado9]

Feel worse today than how I did leaving Ibrox with them beating us 5-1

 

[Blueranger45]

one thing I will say about us being cheated which technically we were, if that's them getting that decision for offside with us winning the cup, then the Scottish media are calling out Gollum and the linesman and they've almost certainly had plenty of death threats by now

because it was us, nobody will care to mention it other than a throwaway "hint of offside" as Skeletor said on the BBC report

 

[A kind of blue]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

I'm fed up tonight of this sort of comment.

 

[Jaws II]

Let’s be honest when this team suffers adversity they panic and their whole structure falls apart.

 

[nybear]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

sounds like rick but starts with a capital P

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

If the linesman does his job we don’t lose a goal

If Morelos scores then we are back in the game

 

[Kaiser]

In my lifetime, I have seen the Yahoos beat us in THREE Cup Finals due to refereeing errors by the odd goal.

And that's not counting "it wis a penalty, it wis'nae a penalty" for Jelavic and two sent off in another Final.

Today was hard to take because of our journey and the unchallenged success they have had .... But its coming.

 

[Ronniemca]

We didn't bottle it.

We weren't cheated

We had the chances

We came up short

No excuses

 

[therealmackay]

If Morelos scores then we are back in the game

If the linesman does his job we don’t have to get back in fkn game.

Jesus wept.

 

[TheBridgeLoyal]

If the linesman does his job we don’t have to get back in fkn game.

Jesus wept.

But we still miss the pen and it’s 0-0

 

[Fred-Bassey]

They got their goal from the ref. He also denied us another penalty but yes let’s just ignore these facts as they don’t really influence the game.

Never said they didn't influence the game. But it was up to us to pick ourselves up after the goal. but to be honest we never really looked like scoring after that. We've had many dubious decisions for us over the years and laughed our head off at them for greetin about refs. If we had taken our chances we'd have won. Let's move on.

 

[dirtyharry]

If Morelos scores then we are back in the game

We were cheated, the goal that decided the game was offside.

You sound like a mentally challenged “it’s the ref’s fault we didn’t win the game today cause we never put the ball in the back of the net.” That’s the patter they lived off for years and now you’re doing it

 

[douzpwa]

We bottled it today as far as I'm concerned.

No we didn't we just could not score but dominated play!

 

[shug1971]

I’m Morelos scores then we are back in the game

The officials don’t take penalties. Your talking out your arse with respect. We were always in the game and on top. Not one person can say we bottled it or didn’t deserve to win that game today. I even would go as far to say we could easily have had 3 penalties

 

[Blues and Royals]

We can go into all the reasons why We didn’t actually win it, missed chances, there were a few, missed penalty, yes that too but all that aside when officials fail to do the simplest bid tasks and flag a blatant offside we are truly proverbially pissing into the wind.

Pissing in the wind, unfortunately yes we absolutely are.

But the club never speak out about any of this. And as long as this continues, nothing will ever change.
