I know this is tongue in cheek but can you imagine the seeth from hibs fans?

Sniffing around Kenny McLean on a pre contract according to the rumour mill. I would be sad to see him pitch up there but he left us the right way so I wouldn't resent him too much for it.

I suspect the club won't be keen to sell in January unless it's stupid money anyway. January window can be hard to get value in with regards to a replacement and HJK will have a decent sell on fee most likely too. I also would be surprised if Miovski wouldn't prefer to see out the season with us than go to Reims. It's not exactly a massive step up (fergie is playing at a higher level at bologna i would say) and l reckon BM will have his sights set a wee bit higher.

Miovski getting linked with stade de riems (mid table in ligue 1) for 4-5 million euros in the French press. "Under contract until 2026 in the Scottish club, Bojan Miovski would have the advantage of being financially affordable. If the Transfermarkt site estimates him at €700,000, he should not however be available for less than 4/5 million euros." I think we are going to be getting a lot of rumours the next wee while. The front two and Barron in particular are going to be getting a lot of interest. Coulsons future is going to be up in the air too as he's ooc with boro in the summer.

Whilst not a classic I thought the game had a decent intensity to it. Utd games haven't had a bit of bite to them for a while so it's good to see that return. Delighted to get the win overall. I thought the defence had its best game in a while 2bh. Utd moved the ball nicely in the second half but never really showed any penetration. Stewart had another good game as well, his distribution has noticeably improved the past recently.

Solid is good, particularly at the back.

Solid first half in all departments I would say.

This. I'm really impressed with what Martindale has done at livi, they ain't hammer throwers anymore either. I would also say SeeBass if you apply the logic of "we shouldn't lose to livi in any circumstances" that that door swings both ways. In other words you might as well be saying we should give up on beating the Glasgow 2 ever again because they shouldn't be losing to us under circumstances. You will always get underdog stories in sports, you will always get teams underperforming too. It's a crucial part of keeping the game interesting at all levels. A wise person said to me a long time ago when it came to supporting a football team "don't get too high and don't get to low, there's always a next season if things are awful.". I would add to this that there will be times that you won't have a choice in the matter such will be the importance of the fixture. A perfect example is the Scotland v England game a few years back. When griffiths scored the second I just...... lost it. Completely lost it. I can't tell you much about the 30 seconds that followed other than it was an ecstacy I had never previously felt. Then, 2 minutes later, that was taken away from me and ive never felt so low. I had no choice in feeling like this but moments like this are rare. You can usually get over a disappointing result pretty quickly if you put your mind to it, it's only fucking football after all.

Aside from defending set pieces we have actually been playing quite well. Also, it turns out Richardson has a weapon cross on him.

You can say what you like about Martindale but his coaching credentials are defo on the up. Livi are not the hammer throwers they once were and, to my eye anyway, haven't been too bad to watch this season. My instinct is this will be a much stiffer test than Friday. They are canny and capable whilst our away record this season is questionable at best but I think if we can score twice we will probably win. And wee can score twice. 4-1 flattered us against Hibs but if there's one aspect of our team I think we are all happy about currently it's our attacking potential. I wasn't that surprised we scored 4 despite not dominating because even when we are looking a disjointed mess elsewhere you have confidence we can score when we go forward. I don't think it's unfair to say you could draw a fair few comparisons between afc and most Kevin keegan sides at the moment. 3-1 dons Miovski, Duk and Duncan.

I think it probably was a pen but it took a fair few rewatches to be anything remotely resembling sure. Lopes is on the stretch whilst trying to change forward direction and Marshalls knee clips his extended foot as he's sliding through. Marshall gets hee haw of the ball.... It's enough for me.... Well just about. It's far more a fucking pen than the one hibs got at Easter Road put it that way. Is anyone prepared to give Richardson a bit of credit for his driving at the defence and playing Duk through for the pen? On the subject of Var? To be honest I don't really care, it got us a pen that put us in the lead (eventually) in a game we had looked second best in for the majority of the first half. It's here to stay, for better or for worse, so we may as well just be happy it helped us win today. 3 points will always be king to my eye. Second goal was the crucial one for me. You just can't give Miovski that kind of space in the box. After that hibs proper crumbled and whatever else you want to say about us at the moment we are good for a goal when a chance presents itself. Delighted for Rama and Clarksons was cheeky as fuck.

Does anyone know if there's any truth to the 1 million to us when he plays in the CL clause rumours going about? Probably bollocks

HEED FIRST!

I honestly don't see the point of going defensive for this one. Quite simply it just doesn't play to our strengths. We have a potent attack and a questionable defence (though one that has started to look a bit more resilient as a 3 in the past few games). Our best chance of a win here is to take a "we are going to score more than you" approach rather than trying to keep it tight and nick one on the break. One thing I would note is that I don't this game won't be won or lost by the defence or the attack. Clarkson and Barrons performance will be the keystone of any positive result we get tomorrow.

Napoli rested a few and were already through but the huns will have put a lot into it regardless.

Oh very true, that could have been a pen. It doesn't change that it was his best performance in red for me though. Second half in particular I thought he was superb.

Stewart was excellent on Saturday i thought, particularly the last 10 minutes of the second half when we came under sustained pressure from Motherwell. The back 3 really suits him, he can just focus on defending and leave the passing out from the back to Mcrorie and scales.

Och I've been there when we've scored early and they shut the fuck up pretty quickly. Given recent form too they will be even quicker to get on their own players backs if it's not going well. Also the not having played their before could just as easily work as an advantage. They don't have the pre built in intimidation of mordor and the San giro natives have.

Well so what, right now they are playing shite and whatever else you want to say about Aberdeen at the moment we defo have goals in us. Gvb is absolutely under pressure btw, the support hasn't fully turned on him yet but they ain't far off it.

It's hard not to feel some optimism about this trip to mordor given respective form of both teams.... and that's before you consider the horsing they are likely about to take in Naples. Heed first should be the attitude and if we can get the first goal I would strongly fancy us for the 3 points. Line up is a fairly straightforward bar one, Mackenzie would be right to be miffed if he is dropped for Coulson, but that aside same again you would think. 3-1 dons Miovski, Duk 2

On yourself Fergie

What I don't understand is why he doesn't have a phone strapped to his wrist and if they think he should rewatch something he stops play and watches it there and then.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63309192 Decent wee video on how they are going about it.

Var can't interfere with yellow cards unless they believe it should have been a red. I watched the game on redtv and just before it the put this on

What add on you using? I just searched bologna on mad titan sports and it came up no probs.
