Do they just convert the cup wins into bonus 3 points and carry last seasons wins over?

They got 3 points for the win at Parkhead I believe. It does prove that they can win the big games though.

Out of curiosity...how many cups have Aberdeen won since we won the Scottish cup last?

Just the 1 i think. 5 or 6 finals in that time though.

Yes, it was a good achievement from them last season.

Was Sergio without his 4 best players for extended periods all at the same time, including a key semi final?

You didn’t ask that, from the start of the season he lost Stevo/Hamill/Sutton/Templeton/Kello and Mrowiec who were all starters and still beat Celtic at Hampden. As I said he did have a bigger squad with more quality than the current team.

They’ve only won one trophy since 1990.

Finish ahead of Aberdeen? Aberdeen that have won at Hampden, Ibrox and Parkhead within the last year. Aberdeen that repeated the trick at Ibrox tonight?????

 

 

Aberdeen who we beat at home and Hamilton beat at home. 

Their 4 points ahead you don't get bonus points for winning in Glasgow. 

 

We're 4 points behind them, our next three league fixtures are ones we're we also  do historically well in. 

 

 

Why do you even bother with Hearts?

Everything you say is negative and knocks the club down. 

 

You say CL is negative, but you make him look like a dog with two dicks.

A big game that meant nothing to celtic and stopped rangers finishing second. 

 

Do yourself a favour, Ffs. 

 

They've done well with Rangers this year, but they find themselves behind them. 

 

A league is based on all results and we have a chance if catching them and will be closer to them than we have been in over 5 years. 

 

Ffs, we win a cup game, let's hit CL with the league position now. 

 

Tragic patter from Hearts fans.

You are pushing it wi Sutton and Mroweic they were absolutely honking in Hearts tops. Kello was replaceable aswell

A win at Parkhead on the last day of the season in a game Celtic couldn’t give a toss about. Fair play they got 3points but perspective. The draw on Saturday for them there is more impressive

Yeah I know ?, Kello was the best goalie we had at the time though. I just think it’s a bit ironic that the people who defend CL say Sergio was crap because the football was poor and we finished 5th, and CL should stay if we get to the final.

Is there anyone in the SPL you hate more than Hearts?

[kila]

Still think it is time for a change in the summer. Would be fantastic Levein winning the Scottish Cup before he bows out.

When comparing Hearts to Aberdeen over the last 5 years you should probably mention that over that period Aberdeen have spent more than they ever have (way more than us), have had stability, and have had all their success up to now in leagues without all or some of their main competitors.

 

With all that in mind one league cup is a pretty poor return.

Aberdeen who have been perennial losers since the 80s??? The same shithousery Aberdeen who continualy claim to be a force yet win nowt? 

 

Sad that a Hearts fan would back that lot just to suit an anti Levein agenda. Ram yourself pal

And we had the slight handicap of coming out of administration less than five years ago. 

[gowestjambo]

We won tonight, thats all that matters. But our tactics for the first 20 minutes were atrocious. Playing far too deep and inviting Thistle to attack. When half the crowd start to Boo at our dismal attempts to compete there is something far wrong. A team bottom of a lower league should never be able to turn up at Tynecastle and put us under so  much pressure.

 

In the final 5 minutes we could have easily conceded, and gone into extra time where anything could have happened. We really should be able to see games out against this type of opposition.

 

Craig Levein has not aquitted himself well against Partick Thistle in our 2 games against them.

The same puerility continuing on this thread. In light of the genuinely tragic event tonight maybe not a bad idea to give it a rest until later in the week.

You're the one who thinks sacking a manager regardless of how much success they achieve is smart!

 

Who do you think would want to take the job in those circumstances with ****wits firing a previously successful manager?

Maybe so but people have a tendency to use events that are unrelated to try and remove things that are making them uncomfortable.

Those stats had nothing to do with hoofball. They recorded completed passes over 35-yards. 

 

It may be good that we are in a par with the likes of rangers and Celtic but they do not prove anything about hoofball (or silly samba football) - certainly in isolation.

That's pretty much about as low as a human being can sink Geoff. Having witnessed a close family member die in identical circumstances over the festive period I was trying to lend some perspective and get people to draw a breath in the immediate aftermath of what is a life changing tragedy for members of our support. To suggest anything otherwise is quite honestly despicable.

While you have my sympathy I fail to see your argument here.

 

What happened was terrible for the friends and family of the deceased but the harsh reality is others have their own issues and priorities that affect them.

You don't have a monopoly on people dying suddenly. All I was pointing out is that it is irrelevant to the subject matter in hand. Why you feel the need to bring it onto this thread is a matter for you but it has nothing to do with Craig Levein's future. As I say, if you aren't using it to shut down debate then I apologise. However, it is still moot to this topic.
