Queen of the South 4 - 3 Aberdeen

QUEEN of the South substitute John Stewart made himself the hero of Dumfries with the Scottish Cup semi-final winner against his former club Aberdeen in a crazy afternoon at Hampden.
Dons defender Andrew Considine's header cancelled out Steve Tosh's opener in a relatively tame first half but the game exploded in a 12-minute spell after the break.

Twice Queen of the South forced themselves ahead through Paul Burns and Sean O'Connor, Aberdeen equalising each time through Barry Nicholson and Considine again before Stewart, on for Stephen Dobbie, drove home to put the Doonhamers into their first Scottish Cup final.

Aberdeen came back yet again and in the 72nd minute Diamond headed a Nicholson free-kick onto the crossbar before hitting the post with the rebound.

With six minutes to go Thomson's last-gasp tackle on Aluko brought appeals for a penalty from the Dons fans, which referee Kenny Clark rightly ignored.

The Pittodrie side threw everything forward in search of an equaliser and Nicholson came closest but Gordon Chisholm's men held on through four minutes of added time for a famous victory.

BEMUSED EXILE,

Well done Queen Of The South. As one Borders side fights for their very survival, another makes the headlines for the right reasons.

Should be Rangers in the Final, and in the true spirit of the Bible, a David V Goliath match up.

Bring it on.

Queens 11 full line up.

Crazy game? No. A page out of the official handbook.

Honesty, and integrity... and the wee touch of dignity.


A good cuffing.

Strapped for cash QoS will be releasing a wee team song, on both DVD and download at all good Dumfries bride shops, with all the stars giving it their best shot, at singing in tune.

Should be, and wait for it, top notch.

Hey if you're going to get all Biblical about such events, how about ...

Could be some material here for my new hit album.

What I really need is someone who was the gemme. Tell me how it really was.

Stuffing the sheep is all good and well, but no on Setanta.

Reminds me too much of Butlins, bit with nae good jokes.

No, we need to hear the voice of truth.

Were Aberdeen rubbish, and should they never be allowed to travel on British Rail again?

No Pontins then. Make the odd mistake, now and then.

Although Rasky will not admit, (nothing new there), I predicted the 4-3.

Back to your stratch cards, Rasky

Spurs struggle again. 4-3-3. Don't make me laugh.

Hutton? What's he worth now. Hope you got paid upfront on the deal.

I remember sitting front row, centre field for QOS vs Rangers Cup replay back in the 70's. Ally Dawson slide tackled right in front of me and I thought he was ending in my lap.
Gers won the replay and I forget what they did after that.

I was a naive 17 yr old(on hols from Canada), travelling on the "Blue Train" out of Glasgow Central...following all the Gers fans. I figured they'd know where they were going.

Juande Ramos has apparently named the players who will leave in the summer...silly move to make during the season. How much ambition and loyalty could you get from said players?

Hutton still doesn't look out of his depth.

The 2 Jimmys must be commended.
Sterling work from both Jims this season.

Removing Celtic from their last chance of silverware in the quarter final was one thing, but removing Aberdeen from the SC final itself is quite another.

Nicely done lads, I'll buy you both a drink & it'll be treble's for sure.

Sportscene tonight is a must. Just rewards for a team and support who can only raise their collective performances 2 or 3 times a season against Rangers...and amazingly twice versus CFC this season.

A club living on a brief spell of past glories, who have delivered the square root of f all for 18 years.

Watch out for the Gers getting kicked up and down Dollypark last day of the season.

Stewart Milne is the one that should get the chop for this one. Poor investment in the team and this is what you get.

McNamara won't play for the Dons again. I have never seen booing of an Aberdeen player the way he got it when he went off. No way he will come back from that.
