Calderwood must go. Severin and McNamara must retire or at least leave Aberdeen. There is a real lack of leadership on the pitch. New captain and a couple of defenders required. I'm sure the QOS skipper could do a job for us!

As a bewildered Aberdeen fan, all I can add is to congratulate Queens on their excellent victory. A more committed performance I have not seen outside the national side. And let's put an end to this pathetic 'send the don's through' garbage.....QoS fully deserve their place in the final and all true Aberdeen fans would never wish to take that away from them.

As for the Dons, I really don't know where we go from here, because I can't remember feeling as down as this after any game before.

Good luck Queens, enjoy your day and give the gers hell!!

Well done Queens. Great performance but it was a great game. Good quality football.
I was surprised when Aberdeen renewed Calderwood's contract. They have been poor for most of the season and their European results were not warranted by their play. It was dire to watch at times - very poor technical quality.Remember, these guy's are relatively well paid and it's their job.
Calderwood's position must be in doubt tho' it will be expensive for them to get rid of him. He was past his sell by date when the contract was up for grabs. He doesn't set a good example to his players with his poor (bloated) physical appearance either.
Unsettled times ahead in Aberdeen I fear.

I'm 52 now and never thought I'see the doonhamers reach the final never mind europe.I've always had 2 football dreams,QOS against Rangers in the final,and Scotland England world cup final. That was one of the most exciting games I've watched for a long time.Everyone involved with the club should be proud of themselves,and who knows what cuold happen next.

As a Gretna fan - looking out for a new club to support - (just in case)- I went along to Hampden.
Gritty determination and working flat out by all the QOS players for 90 mins got their reward. The few hundred Aberdeen fans that stayed behind and applauded the queens players for 5-10 minutes at the end deserve recognition as they must have been gutted.
Another great display by ex-Gretna players and another well deserved slap in the face for all those at Gretna responsible for moving these superb players on.
Good luck in the final-will be there shouting you on.

What a fantastic match! I have never seen such determination from players. Queens gave their all and more. I would just like to add how great it was to see a large amount of Aberdeen fans clapping at the end. Well done to you all.

Well done Queens. My team was appaling but Queens and their fans were brilliant. I stayed behind to applaud Queens at the end and even though it hurt I was pleased that the game was so good for the neutral. Queens fans took their victory with great dignity and deserve a lot of credit. Aberdeen yet again let us down on the day. Good luck Queens

Yeah well done QOS. You guys wanted to win it far more than we did. It can be argued that Aberdeen fought back three times but we showed no urgency to get in front afterwards. You guys deserve your place in Final and I along with the majority of Dons fans applauded QOS afterwards.

What a game. It was a joy to be at the match. I would like to thank the Aberdeen supporters for the applause they gave to our team at the end of the match. It was a pleasure to have been in their company at Hamden and traveling side by side to and from the ground in their company. That is one thing I will always remember. To all Aberdeen supporters. Thank you.
