Don't want to take this personally but it feels like Glass has chosen this lineup just to mock my predicted scorers ?

I get where you're coming from min but none of the teams you mention won any of those games - on aggregate Saints lost 6-3 to Monaco, Raith 4-1 to Bayern, Well 3-0 to Dortmund. The problem is that your argument is based on the premise that we will lose the game anyway, so better to lose it to a more glamorous name. I'd much rather actually progress in the competition than revel in short-lived glorious failure in the first round, it feels too much like the football equivalent of the elderly pub drunk mumbling about how he "could've had" the hulking punter that's just laid him on his arse. Anyways, if we reach the group stages we both may get to have our cake and eat it - progress in the competition AND an arse-kicking from some more glamorous names into the bargain.

1-3 Dons (Ramirez, Hedges, Considine), looks like we've remembered where the goal is but clean sheets are going to be like hens teeth this season.

There goes Slim's hopes for beating them on paper, guess we'll have to just do it on grass

Can only assume Ojo has fallen asleep too near an strange pod and been replaced by a sinister replicant as part of an alien invasion seeking to infiltrate humanity. I for one welcome our new overlords.

Some prematch viewing - the fight to play the winners of our match is on at 6pm http://www.hesgoal.com/news/84616/Karabakh_vs_AEL_Limassol.html

A lengthy Dons career beckons

The forum is watching you

Knowing us we'd probably play him at centre-back

I stubbed my toe on an unanticipated door sill on Saturday, but I don't think it will affect the team's morale greatly.

Too many heart-in-mouth moments from the defence today though - hoping Glass is just keeping Gallagher back for Thursday (and beyond), otherwise we have to get a lot tighter there in short order, a better team will easily exploit our frequent communicative lapses.

Meanwhile, some goal from Ramsey and Ramirez - early signs but hoping we have found Rooney II

Is it just me or does that Utd away strip look like something from a low budget zombie horror film?

BBC reckons we should all just give up and go home, save everyone the hassle of dragging these competitions on any further https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/5799595

I'm no engineer but wouldn't that be his natural position?

Didn't realize he's already a full international (for Malawi)

And they have again https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57823277

Don't tell the SFA about the pep pills

Given the level of service our strikers usually get, it probably counts as self isolation

Was that his debut?

Thought they were made to look good - no matter any uncertainty we may have over our as yet unseen Glass team, we cannot possibly be as shite as AIK were tonight.

I've literally just put it on and hacken score twice in a minute.

Scotsman reporting Glass saying Aberdeen "close to finished" (presumably our signings rather than as a team unless he's had a really shit month), so I'm guessing one more in.
