You're arguing against points I'm not making. I'm asking a fairly straightforward question of who in our team would get into theirs? I'm asking from the perspective of our own side.

Ah. It's an easy way to shut down anyone with a different opinion to the herd. Label them a "troll" and ask people to ignore their comments. What you're basically indulging in is an attempt to shut down anyone who doesn't agree with your own view. Trying to organise a witch hunt against that person. When you break that down it's bullying really isn't it.

My only comment here is we had similar to this going on over at Ab Mad, blatant fishing trips and trolling. Most folk caught on pretty quick and just ignored it, I suggest a similar approach to this type of posting here. Anyway, back on topic, this quote fae a St Etienne players is in the BBC fitba gossip page today: “Saint-Etienne midfielder Ben Old says new head coach Philippe Montanier has led the side to the top of Ligue 2 following four straight victories because he introduced more structure and pragmatism to the team since the departure of Aberdeen manager target Eirik Horneland” So while absolutely not writing anyone off at this stage, my sense of deja vu has been triggered somewhat, and the red flag is ready to be run up the flagpole…

I'm not into the whole championship manager thing but what I will say is they only narrowly beat us at the weekend and at no point in the game were they particularly comfortable and I certainly never felt we weren't capable of equalising. The gulf really isn't as wide as some of our fans are making out. Again I'm truly struggling to understand why some of ours are being so relentlessly negative. In fact in ALL games we've played against them this season it's been close. Okay we lost 2-0 in the first game but we created several chances and they were already well into their season having taken part in the SLC group stages while we came into the match still cold. We then beat them at home and most recently were beaten by the narrowest possible margin at the weekend. So let's not be making out like they're Real Madrid and we're Ross County.

It’s a really difficult comparison to make right now because we are so low on confidence and being poorly coached by the looks of it. We are changing our starting 11 week to week with no stability and even within that shifting players from position to position without any partnerships forming either at CB, up the wings or up top. We are the very definition of temporary right now with a chunk of our starting 11 either on loans deals or short term contracts, including the management team. It’s easy to then think the players are all garbage as performances are poor. Hearts are riding on confidence and everyone is busting a gut to play for the cause. Even with changes due to injury they are still getting results as they want it collectively. I’m def not arguing against the idea that they currently look like a team who are player for player just better than us. Same with Motherwell but I’m not fully convinced that with a stable set up and coaching in place that would be the case. We really are making a cunt of it just now.

Hearts have a better best starting eleven than us as a whole, and in every single position. I think. I'd like to hear who you think would get into their side from ours?

I hope a drone finds her penthouse apartment and hopefully Tice is visiting at the time.

Don’t think we have managed a genuine shot on target in last two games and cannot see that changing on Wednesday. As has been said this is not a particularly good Celtic side but still expect them to beat us comfortably. We probably need to make changes to ensure players are fit and prepared for cup game. Game is live on Sky so couch for me. oot work couch couch 0-2 no dons scorer.

I hope that if Isobel Oakshot decides to flee, she’ll seek refuge in the nearest country I don’t make the rules Izzy

Celtic are no great shakes, so I can't see them thrashing us this time around. I'm not confident we will get anything on Wednesday night, but I don't think we will get hammered.

All those tax dodging pricks in the middle east. We should be charging them for any evacuation that takes place.

I actually think thats somewhat harsh. I've fallen into the same trap of being overly critical of them at times but plenty of the players we have signed are decent footballers. The problem is they've been press ganged to serve aboard a rudderless ship with an alcoholic pirate as the skipper. Hearts and Motherwell are being lauded but let's not start thinking they're spectacular teams. They're not. Motherwell are well drilled. Hearts have been riding a fair amount of luck albeit they are earning it through their work rate. Consistency and work rate has kept them at the summit. Nothing more nor less.

Would usually take my seat in the Main Stand but we've left it late this time and it's sold out. So Soother it is. £26 for the authentic 70's open air terracing experience in Section Y. £33 for younger bucks. Pretty sure you can get cheaper tickets for Bundesliga games? Surely ticket pricing needs to be looked at. As those prices are just blooming ridiculous.

You do realise with every game that passes without scoring the odds of us scoring actually increase. You do also realise Dunfermline are in a league below us and they're not exactly setting the heather slight. Dons to win and win comfortably.

as we have not scored a goal away from home this year then I am nae so sure that stat will change on Saturday. 1-0 the pars and our cup defence is over, or we hud on 0-0 and scrape through on penalties (only of Mitov is in goal)

I canna see anything else other than a royal thrashing (hope I am wrong but just canna see it) 0-4 or 5 The Victims

To be fair, this season both Motherwell and hearts have competed with the old firm on a fraction of a budget. The old firm will spend in the summer but it certainly doesn’t guarantee success. just look at us, we’ve demonstrated you can spunk good money on a bunch of players who wouldn’t make my Sunday league team. we need the luck, but bring in a good manager and a good few new players and maybe next season!

In all the recent games there have been purple patches and green shoots. Some of our fans are just refusing to see it. God alone knows why. We just need a full 90 minutes of it instead of circa 60. Quite a few of the players aren't up to speed yet and are still bedding in. All of them are obviously suffering to one degree or another from the current lack of stability at the club I'd suggest most of our players are capable of performing to a high enough standard once they are fully fit and / or well coached and inserted into a system that works. Believe.

Jist a wee note for younger folks fa might nae ken, Alex Ferguson would visit other clubs' games regularly when he was still a player wi Falkirk, Ayr Utd and also while manager o' St. Mirren. As a young lad, match day would start wi' the buyin' o' a match programme, then hangin' around the main entrance acostin' players for their autographs ... there were at least 3 occasions where Ah spotted SAF walkin' doon Pittodrie Street on his way tae see the game .... so it could be claimed he had a connection tae the Dons way longer than might be apparent. However, such a claim wid be outrageous in view o' the countless stadium stand seats the presence of his squeaky bum has graced over the decades. My guess is, he's simply a fitba man - start tae finish, aa the wye through an' twice on a Sunday - fa jist enjoys a good game o' fitba .... especially if he gets in for nithin!

Nah, it used tae be red .... now definitely maroon .... and on this current trajectory, only a metter o' time before it's blue

It’s frustrating because as bad as we’ve been, there have been times I think we have some good players. The livi game is a great example, we get some hope, then have been shit resultswise since. I also don’t think it matters what team we put out, we’re not good enough to squad rotate or rest players. We could get beaten by dunfermline, or lazetic scores a hat trick. It’s totally up in the air.

Yes. I can't argue that we're struggling to score but it's got to happen. The floodgates have to open. When better than against a lower league side. I hoped the demolition of Livvy was the start but that beautiful trickle of water dried up all too soon.

I think we are a lot more capable at home. Red cards have disrupted recent games but we have looked much more in control in longer spells in home games. Thought we looked a bit more solid at back against the Jambos at the weekend. That said, I would def be throwing out the second string to protect players for weekend.

I think we have a reason to be optimistic, but it will be hard and nothing of late suggests we’re in for a good performance. We struggle to score, gift easy goals, but we’re due a good performance and win!
