  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. See the arabs were as useless as i feared they would be. Goodwin doing Goodwin things.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. He was almost half the size I was expecting !
  7. 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.
  8. Big win for us. So that’ll be him and Clarkson back then?
  9. That's what I assumed but was going to do some digging before deleting it
  10. Suggestions for the name change? I agree, Green is very old school now
  11. Aye, was it here on Twitter I’d seen something about the Tims sniffing about? Need to look him in asap.
  12. Gutted for him, he’s been electric this season. Hope the break works in our and his favour.
  13. Have to given Morris credit where it’s due, that was a great ball for the goal. The finish is exactly the type of finish we’ve been screaming sokler for, but it says it all (and justifies it) that the guy we brought in to challenge him, has got it. Great to see us keep going to the very end, really feels like Thelin is instilling something positive. The pitch invasion was probably a bit OTT but can totally understand why some did. It’s exactly why we love football, the ecstasy of a last minute winner. I see there are rumours of Duk being back in Aberdeen?
  14. Sorry to hear about your dog mate! At least you’ve hopefully something positive in the dons this season. their home form is actually pretty good, Motherwell were the last team to beat them in early May, then prior to that st. Johnstone in early Feb. this will not be an easy ride by any stretch of the imagination.
  15. County started their season well enough, but have had losses to both Spartans and the huns in the last couple of weeks. getting knocked for 6 by them will have hurt so will be interesting to see how they respond. When is Clarkson due back, can't be far away? I'd be surprised if Sokler retains his place for this one, but arguably, this is the type of game he needs to get his confidence up. Starting XI shouldn't really need to change as I don't see Killie being different to County, both will sit in. But could Nisbet may push Sokler out? Really been impressed with Molloy, didn't expect him to step up as much as he has and has been a pleasant surprise. Out Bed Bed Fathers Day 2-0 Dons, Shinnie and Nisbet
  16. Was hopeful but it doesn't look likely. This is the latest chat in Oz:
  17. Hoping to wake to a good result lads, bring it home!
  18. Personally, I hope it’s the both of them, probably bavidge on a short term loan. Need both sokler and nisbet to get up and running both goals and confidence wise. Risky, but then we do have pape as back up and I’m sure McGrath could do a job. unsure about nisbet but if JT can get him playing again, and hopefully build soklers confidence, then why not. I’m fine with the loan, gives us time to find the right replacement, be it sokler or a.n.other.
  19. Should have been agreed before the start of the season that should they still be in contention, then certain games would be moved. Complaining a few days to go, in a game they were always going to lose was ridiculous. And he has been bleating all week, just get on with the job. It’s just another game and it’s not like they travelled far. It’s fucking Denmark ffs.
  20. Embrace it. cant say i agree with pandas comment either. McInnes had a crack at Europe multiple times and came up short everytime. I’m happy enough for killie to progress but not because of McInnes.
  21. Seems to be conflicting reports though on WSW socials about whether we’re now leading the race or it’s back with psv and Hamburg. Primarily because I don’t think he follows us on instagram anymore
  22. Seems to be growing legs this one.
  23. I see according to someone on Twitter, we’ve been linked with Marcus you is from WSW here in the a league. Know he was highly rated but can’t remember why he didn’t play more last season. I know a few fell out with the then manager (who was a dodgy cunt), so may have been that. He’s also been linked with PSV and Hamburg. He plays on the right wing.
  24. Or it's consi leaking again but to put people off the trail.
  25. Yeah, not overly excited by that prospect but as you say, does improve the squad. If that’s enough to push sokler to being the striker we need, who knows. In fairness, I still don’t think his goal was off on the weekend and it was a good finish. Maybe there is hope.
