Greek boys have been in for an hour apparently,noisy twits

^^One of the reasons i decided to go.No home game for a few weeks either

Last minute In for me,soggy seat on the Y as a result. Not sure how good these guys are,some saying theyre not as good as we think.May be the type of game that suits us though.Looks a better than expected crowd,around 1000 tickets left,1500ish Greeks in for it too,should be decent Prediction - 2 - 1 Dons Miovski,McGrath

Could be more to do with structural safety,heard there were bits flying off the RDS yesterday

Most forcasts saying wind/rain easing off just before kick off,but maybe damage done by then

Discussions later today with club/Police Scotland as to whether game goes ahead apparently.Club stopped selling tickets meantime

In - .....If the Main stand isnt in Norway by Sat night . Quite like the weekend evening kick offs,though Friday night preferable(whole w/e to do other stuff). Another game where we dont know what to expect,as dundee seem to be pretty solid,..and were unsure where Robson is on the learning curve(assuming he's on it). Been pretty underwhelming the last couple of games,looking for a few adjustments this time round Prediction - 2 - 0 Miovski,McGrath

Consensus seems to be that neither of the first team players played well,esp Dadia,but that lack of competitive/reserve matches like these are contribuiting to lack of match sharpness

Agreed,the back 3 were pretty sound,but we looked so disjointed going forward,esp first half.Not enough players showing for the ball,or providing a passing option.Better in the second half when we showed more urgency,might have helped if we'd started the game that way. Saints played a bit better than expected,but toothless up front.Pass marks for the back 3 and Barron, rest were a bit meh.

Would have been an undeserved lead,Saints are moving the ball about better than us.We can't be worse in the second half? Only upside is the hot soup in the main stand

Looks like its on?

Game could become doubtful.Most reports saying pishing rain right up till kickoff the morn

Hoping Barron can start,and maybe move Clarkson higher up. Reluctant to rest Shinnie but St J are about as poor a side we'll meet top flight,as good a time for it.Think this game might suit Duk too In Mainer Prediction 2 - 0 Don's . Duk x2

If we'd shown the same urgency before they scored,and Barron had on,we might have had a different outcome.They were shaky first half,but grew into the more we pussy footed about.A lot more like it late second half, but too little too late.New experience for a lot of them,hopefully learn from it

Making heavy weather of it.This lot are pretty poor

Dodged a bullet,single file traffic Market st

Traffic horrific already,leave early abdyl

Been raining most of the afternoon in the NE,might be a bit of a mudbath,though rain easing off just before k/o. First Euro game for a while for me,cant make a lot of midweek games.Last one was Appalon Limassol I think.Looking forward to it,any win will do.

Nae sure what to expect from Helsinki,though the Finnish league is supposedly a step down from the Swedish.As said,would expect them to frustrate us,might be a night for our trickier players In - Mainer Prediction 3 - 1 Dons Dukx2,McGrath

Sad news,had thought he was on the mend.Lucky enough to catch his time here,what a player,great scoring ratio

Jack McKenzie - legend

No highlights anywhere? Re Rubezic - seen various comments from the usual suspects(elsewhere),Donkey,get rid,... blah blah. Is him being raw but with potential reasonable to say? Doesnt help that MacDonalds been pretty poor when hes came in this season.Nae sure whether to grit teeth for the time being,in the hope playing with Jensen and Gartenmann will bring him on,..or whether to bench him for now,his confidence looked pretty shot last night.

Great stuff from Sokler ....not so great from Ruby....

Barry getting tactically educated from the Dons forums. Should be 2 or 3 up.COYR

Meant to get a bit wild and wet down here but looking ok (but wet) in Dingwall. Weve a decent record up there,assume McKay will make changes for this game,and hopefully Robson has made some preps for what he might do.We should be too strong/confident after Saturday you'd hope Oot - 3 - 1 Dons Duk hattrick
