Thank you for your blessings. I’ll get a semi thread on the go soon.

Seemed like there could have been many more goals for both sides. Nice to see a game like that for a change.

I know, and I appreciate that, I think it's important for the values of the site to have more than one POV. I may not agree with your politics but it's the one you live and I can't argue with that. Certainly not from afar! I'm not sure the economy will improve under trump, as there is a reason why manufacturing for example, was moved away from the US. It's too expensive, much like other anglosphere countries. Tarrifs are going to cripple the country and people will be infinitely poorer. Conservatism or rather Atlasism will only increase the divide and countries and societies will only be poorer for it.

@OrlandoDon interested to hear your perspective on things at the moment over there?

This is very much why I want us to go for it from the outset. We can’t afford to fanny about and go down. Only bit of solace is they’re playing midweek so may be a bit leggy.

Queen’s had a good confidence boosting win against Raith at the weekend. Play like we did in the second half of the second half of the game at the weekend and we won’t have anything to worry about. We’ve got the fire power to do it, but I’d like us to go for the jugular first. They’re going to make it hard for us and I don’t want to see the game goalless for too long. I know it’s not the Thelin way but we’ve just got to get the job done and we got given one of the best possible ties. I’d like to see Gueye and okkels dropped and arguable let Shinnie stay at left back. We know Nilsen won’t be dropped and it was actually nice to see him back at left back. Interesting that Willie also doesn’t rate Okkels yet either. out bed bed recovery 2-0 Dons, keskinen and Nisbet

Couldn’t really care less about him tbh, he was shite for us and fucked off relatively quickly.

That was some line from the cretin Vance. “Even though we’re not the ones who have done anything, in fact we’re making your destruction more likely, you need to thank us. Also. Wear a suit.” (In summary). Was surprised he didn’t ask him to kiss his ring.

We’re doomed. should be a cracker I think. Both teams need to win to keep each other and hibs at bay. Hoping for a traditional derby collapse for Hibs. wouldn’t be against Gueye being on the left, actually. I mean, it is where our goal at the tattie dome came from. Be interesting to see if he reverts to the winning team formation. out bed bed not sure, probably more 5th birthday shenanigans. 2-1 Dons. Keskinen and Dabbagh.

Ah so I hadn't misread that. I thought i'd seen it as 2-1 united at one stage. Both are breathing down our neck now.

Useless killie bending over to their hun bretheren and ruining a good LOL moment in scottish football. Booo.

Was disappointing to see how easily they cut through us for their goals. I'd argue goals no. 1, 3 and 4 should have been saved by Doohan. Does Mitov save them? Probably. Have to say, our goal was actually really well worked and a great finish by Morris. Not sure how Dabbagh didn't connect with his chance. Hopefully it's just a case of match fitness and awareness. But fuck, our defence man, how easy did we make it for them?

Shinnie and Nilsen don't work, this is the wrong time to be trying it. All it is doing is inviting pressure on us Thank fuck I cancelled RedTV and have a meeting so unable to watch this. 4-1 might be a bit optimistic.

A rare occasion where the whole of Celtic park erupts when Dabbagh scores? have no expectations for this one. Them losing and it being an away game doesn’t bode well and they’ve got plenty of quality to see us out. Hopefully it just doesn’t set us back like the semi final did. out work work work 4-1 Tim’s, Dabbagh

Agreed, times aren’t always going to be good and he definitely channeled his inner McDonald and turned into Casper when things got hard. Fair play to Hibs offering him the deal he wanted, and getting a key player from a rival. either way, not overly fussed.

Have heard that too. Although, I am surprised it isn't media man McInnes. They'd save on the cab fare given they're playing killie next.

Making the move to the southern hemisphere, smart kid.

@Jute you thinking about this fixture yet ?

It’s an interesting watch, just interesting to see what lengths she went to

Clearly mellowing in your age

Since having a rogue apostrophe on the home side and stated date appeared to serve us well this last weekend, thought I'd give it a go for this next week. This game is massively important to our season because we need: 1) to see if we've finally turned the corner and 2) to keep another top 6 candidate at bay. There've been a few murmurings in the press again signalling that McInnes should be a hun soon. It was odd, as they essentially were saying he should steady the ship and they should get someone else in after that Great vote of confidence that. Anyway, we've got a few more players available and I thought from the 20min highlights I saw, we looked reasonable in attack, albeit a bit wasteful, but still looked vulnerable at the back. So we're far from being out the woods yet. I'd be keen to see Nisbet and PHG keep their places, in fact, pretty much that starting XI could stay as I think they've probably earnt it. Killie haven't won away from home in the league since the end of October, so we shouldn't lack confidence, despite their win against the tractor saints on the weekend. I'll let Panda come up with the team graphics Out Bed Bed 2-1 Dons, Nilsen and Nisbet

The laughing was the thread chat. But yeah, I wouldn't be adverse to having someone else as captain. Devlin would be my preference as I still think he should be starting and would like the captain to be local, but it's not the end of the world if they're not. As long as they care and add value as captain, that's all I care about. It is interesting that we've won the last two sans shinnie starting, but there are a lot of other things coming into the mix too (players returning, new signings)

Con artists. I know they've existed since the age of time. The other series we've been watching on Disney+ is Paradise. Good dystopian series about about a secret service agent looking into a presidential assassination.

Moscow X, part of a series, which I haven’t read but will go back to the start now. Really good read about - fictional FBI and SVR agent trying to run each other.

My wife wanted to watch apple vinegar cider tonight, series about a dimfluencer who conned people into thinking she had stage 4 brain cancer and cured it with…apple cider vinegar. How these people exist is beyond me.
