Have pinned this

A surprisingly good kick off time. Should be a fairly boozed crowd . Guessing the prices will be fairly horrendous though.

@BigAl was certain we had a let’s all laugh at hearts thread for this very thing. Took me down memory lane

I’m annoyed we don’t play them until early October. Not convinced he’s going to be able to stick it out. Still, he didn’t lose by the predicted result (previous managers had lost 1-0 and 2-0 to saints before getting respectively emptied).

How long do they take to upload the full games now? Used to be pretty much as soon as the game finished?

Was thinking, is it not actually an OG? Seems to be going away from goal until it hits the keeper ? still, as a professional performance as we could possible want, 4-0 and its onto the semi. Couldn’t ask for much more

Also think it’s doing seve a bit of a disservice

I see city drew 0-0 against inter. That will have the natives restless. have to say, that draw for the Tims is as good as they could have hoped for. As good as our league fixtures tbh.

Had my wisdom teeth out so in my newfound (lack of) wisdom, plumped up for redtv and watched the game back. He bloody impressed me, good bit of aggression but controlled. Can see there’s a player in there and excited to see what else he can do. Think it was OD in the match thread who said it would be good to see him alongside Shinnie, which I agree with, seeing the three of them interchangeable would be a useful thing to have.

Aye, was pretty much why I’d discounted it. Maybe naively but I don’t think he’ll be interested in that job. Hes got much to learn, from a foreign manager too, which doesn’t come up very often.

Believe the Firece beer bar on Union street also gives discounts on match days

Return of Neil Lennon to the spfl then given he’s out of work? Wonder which manager PLZ soccer and the bbc demand they go for

So what were people’s thoughts on him from the weekend? Glimpses of why city paid €7m for him early on?

Must win game (aren’t they all), be a great opportunity to reach hampden, home of the huns, oh I mean Scotland, for a cup semi. Away and this fixture would have been a tougher test, but confident we should have enough composure and cohesion to see us through. Think we should be sticking with the strongest XI for this, but maybe stick with palaversa rather than shinnie, give him another week to recover from whatever it was. Regardless, looking forward to this being our first fixture against them. Keep it simple please! dons 2 - 0, nilsen and Morris

Sokler is an interesting one, it’s not like he’s not had chances or service. Is it a confidence thing? I’d fully expect Thelin to get the best out of him but there’s just something lacking (his finishing), his movement is generally good. Really hoped he’d grab this opportunity to stake his claim, but one of the most unlikeliest members has done so

See the arabs were as useless as i feared they would be. Goodwin doing Goodwin things.

All of this is almost enough to tempt me back to redtv, almost. The highlights don’t really give me enough of an impression, but have to say Gueye was excellent for his first and his second was all down to Morris. Fair play. Two outsiders have had a complete turn around this season. I’m desperately trying not to get too excited by it all, buts a joy listening to the interviews coming out of the club at the mo, and some of the added stuff like the tifo / pyro. Think I’m still sticking by my B+ marking so far, but will review come Octobers end. Loving it.

Hmm that didn’t used to be the case? Used to be if you used a foreign bank account but maybe they’ve changed it to IP which would make sense. Believe Oxford Don may be able assist on such matters

He was almost half the size I was expecting !

Both teams coming into this one in good form so will be a good test footballing wise to see where we are. We haven’t actually lost to them since 22, which surprised me as I felt we’ve been shite for a long time but we’ve managed to get a few wins in amongst the draws. Will be very interested to see who lines up top for us, does he persist with sokler or give Nisbet a reward for his goal? Will Duk feature at all ? Hoping McGrath continues his electric form from before his concussion concern. out bed bed dunno 2-1 dons, McGrath and sokler.

Big win for us. So that’ll be him and Clarkson back then?

That's what I assumed but was going to do some digging before deleting it

Suggestions for the name change? I agree, Green is very old school now

Aye, was it here on Twitter I’d seen something about the Tims sniffing about? Need to look him in asap.

Gutted for him, he’s been electric this season. Hope the break works in our and his favour.
