‘I said weeks ago that Goodwin wouldn’t last the season, his team are his chosen players and he’s just not up to the standard’

done to Darvel, but realistically Luis ‘Duk’ Lopez, Bojan Miovski and Vicente Besuijen simply can’t score and only raise their game against Rangers. It’s time Goodwin and his flops were shown the door.”

Frank McFerran, carrickfergus, emailed: “I said weeks ago that Goodwin wouldn’t last the season, his team are his chosen players and he’s just not a manager up to the standard for Aberdeen. They need to bring in David Martindale.”

george Wilson, West Sussex, emailed: “Aberdeen were talking about getting back to Hampden in the Scottish Cup to make up for the League Cup defeat but they are a total shambles.

“Goodwin is probably on the way out but the new manager will have plenty of time to sort the team as Aberdeen don’t have a meaningful game until April 22 at home to Rangers.”

alan Mcgaw, alloa, “What an absolute shock of a result but congratulations to the small town of Darvel and its club for their victory against all odds. The cash from a full house and live TV coverage in the next round at home should help them for the future. It puts the Berwick Rangers result from 1967 to bed.”

Tam Williamson, lanarkshire, emailed: “It took Rangers 30 minutes of extra time to beat 10-man Aberdeen in the League Cup yet Darvel beat the Dons in normal time.”

irwin Houston, giffnock, emailed: “A huge congratulations to Darvel on their magnificent win over Aberdeen. Goodwin omitted to tell his players during his team talk that Darvel play in blue and just think you are playing Rangers.”

Rob Pender, emailed: “There’s no excuse for poor playing surfaces after seeing the beautiful condition of Darvel’s pitch against Aberdeen. Shame on the SFA for Hampden and St Johnstone for their muck heap.”
