You scissor someone with a tackle you are riding your luck these days.

This one has banana skin written all over it. With Don Cowie fast becoming the new Levien in terms of how his team plays I'm not expecting a classic. I am very much expecting a difficult afternoon though as we can't defend crosses and county have loads of height in their team. That said, if we can move the ball like we did at the weekend they will struggle to live with us..... If. It will be interesting to see if JT makes any changes or sticks with the same 11. I would would consider dropping Gueye myself, I just don't rate him through the middle and he really rode his luck at the weekend re not getting sent off. That said though his stature could be handy against a team full of giants..... Fingers crossed we can get an early goal otherwise it's going to be a tense afternoon In either drinking in Dingwall or Inverness away end Back to Inverness and we will see what the management says we are doing in the evening 2-1 Dons Nisbet and Okkels

That it's the Easter weekend doesn't help either. I know a few folks that really want to go but they have been told no because of family easter events.

I enjoyed that a lot though we REALLY need to be doing better with cross balls. All the plaudits have already been said so I won't parrot them but I will say I agree that was Okkels best game in red. His assist for Dorrington was simple enough but still a bit under rated imo. I can't help but wonder what he would look like if he could get himself a goal. Anyway, regardless whether or not we keep him, with the split approaching and the semi on the horizon it's no bad time for him to start putting in a more noteworthy contribution so here's hoping this isn't a plateau.

Not so sure about that last sentence, from his first Interview I've felt Nisbet genuinely has some affection for the Dons and I think that will have grown. I also think he is very career focused now, he was talking in his last RTV interview about how much better he is looking after himself, and playing for Aberdeen got him back in the Scotland squad. I think he will want to stay unless a better career opportunity (and I've no idea what that looks like btw but I know it ain't Millwall) comes up not a salary 2bh. If we could get him for 750 k that would be a bargain I would say. He's only just turned 28 and we could easily get 4 good seasons out of him..... probably more given he's never been a player that has relied on pace.

The Bulgaria coach chucked him under the bus for conceding two easy goals as well.

Oh, c'mon. It's St J ffs. They operate on a shoestring compared to most other teams in the league. I've yet to find a principle that puts its hand in pocket and pays the bills.

Lol, in my head that game finished 1-0

Exactly.

I'm not sure I would care too much if I was a St J fan. I would probably look at it and think "that's a players wage for a year covered".

No idea if it was on the tv but Robertson did indeed score the winner though I don't remember it being controversial. It was a shot from the edge of the box that snuck in if memory serves.

I've not been that impressed with Mackenzie his last few appearances, he has the air of a player that doesn't want to get injured when he's about to go OOC. He's not been awful or anything but he's defo down the pecking order for me. I agree Shinnie may not be the best option at LB for some games though. What's going on with Devlin does anyone know? He's not been in a squad since Killie at home. There was chat he was carrying a knock but I've not heard anything further.

I was at the 96 semi

I would absolutely stick with the same 11 unless Tobers is fit. No harm to Dorrington who's been solid but I would rather have the player that is ours playing. As has been mentioned Valakari has St J playing a more open game and I think Morris and Keskinen will have more space to work with than they did against Queens. Dare I say it but you could make the argument Shinnie should be considered primarily a LB now? He's doing well there and it gets the captain on the park whilst allowing better passers of the ball to in the centre. It's so easy just to assume that a fixture against St J will be a turgid affair but I think this one might be a decent game. They will defo try and attack us and we will be too so here's hoping we get plenty goals for a change. 3-1 dons. Dabbagh, Nisbet and Morris

Oh I got the reference . Wilson was a funny one for us, I mind him scoring a couple of worldies insterpersing a highly impressive attempt to steal the nickname "Casper" from Gary MacDonald. He almost succeeded ffs Not watched a lot of Killie or Hearts in recent times 2bh but my neighbour is usually pretty level headed. Hope he kicks on though, Scotland need more strikers.
