Aye, I wondered if topi would make way tbh. Maybe give him a rocket up his arse for his decision making but I do think Morris is a reasonable option off the bench, especially a tiring team. Have to watch this at work on Thursday morning. Have block booked out my calendar so people don’t put meetings in it. Not that they won’t be able to hear anyway. out work work work 2-1 dons, ruby and shinnie

Huge game, which could heap on the pressure depending on how today goes for both of the cheeks. Would love us to have the sacking effect on another hun manager. Intrigued to know how he sets up for this one. Would have thought that the Celtic game would have been replicated against the arabs, but maybe it’ll be done against the hun (nisbet pending). Didn’t quite work with having palaversa and nilsen in the middle this time round, but has on others. I’d like to hope that McGrath wouldn’t be as anonymous this time round too. Just didn’t happen for him but he was probably due an off day! Theyre shite, just hope we show them that they are. Perfect Halloween trick (a day early I know but not for us in the future ).

WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE

Was an excellent second half performance. Identified what was wrong and made them when necessary. This team keep just finding a way to grind out the right result and that has to be down to the management team. They offered absolutely nothing so I felt like we deserved it, but interesting to see how we dealt with a team happy to give us the bulk of the possession and press. thought sokler should have scored but will give him the benefit of the doubt as it was wet and the deflection took all the pace off the ball. Shady mo was very good and did what he needed to. That offside call was very tight, it’s the type of var offside I absolutely hate. Also special mention to Vinny’s effort, that didn’t look far off at all. He would have had the extra bit between his teeth to prove to Goodwin. Here’s to a happy Halloween on Wednesday, bring on the zombies!

We needed a change at half time, hopefully it brings the change in luck up top we need. They’ve sat very deep (as expected) and not giving us any space. Duks being marked out the game, which is easy to do when you out two on him the whole time. Very tight game so far.

Match day

Didn’t take long. I really liked the polo shirt but that was it tbh. Didn’t really get the hype with the other stuff and certainly not at those prices

Ffs, caught red handed. Spoiler alert, we won the league in 2025

We can but hope.

2-1 would feel like a reasonable score. They’ll know they can go all the way and score late so we’ll have to be on it (as I’m sure we will be). Both teams will be buoyed by recent performances and you’re probably right about the thuggish tactics from Goodwin. Just hope it doesn’t triumph. Haven’t watched any of their games yet, are they actually playing well? They haven’t won at pittodrie since 2914 I don’t think, so I’d hope that stat doesn’t change. This does feel like it has the duk second coming about it. Would be great to see sokler get another and try and build some consistency. 2-1 dons, sokler and Duk. hoping to catch this one, nice and early on a Sunday morning

Love the blue top. Retro badge ftw

This guy must have shares in the tin foil industry. That is some conspiratorial reach right there.

It’s all a bit of a mess. What happens to the cash they raised through crowd funding? Refunded or are they sunk costs?

Hands down better than christie (who was very good in spells).

Weirdly woke up 10 mins before the 90 was over had to follow with mates messages and live text. Was totally confused about the non winner and having seen the replay, I’m not sure why that’s disallowed (obviously I know). A shame, if it doesn’t hit duk, sokler scores his second. but that second half performance was by and large brilliant. To hold our nerve, even to get into a position to even potentially win, superb. Sokler , that’s what we need from you mate. That was a brilliant finish, one befitting of the play in the lead up, stuff of beauty. Hopefully that’s the thing that gives him the confidence to start putting those away, as he’s had plenty of them and not taken them. Could have been Miovski scoring that. the team spirit is something to behold. Very jealous to have to watch from afar.

Time zone is currently horrendous for us kiwi based dons, so will have to hope that when I wake it’ll not be a horror show. Not sure why anyone would be thinking about dropping Shinnie, he’s like a man reborn after finally having someone alongside him again that knows what they’re doing. anyway, don’t think I’d say it’s a free hit, but probably have low expectations given our record. Would absolutely love us to nick something. Fuck it, I’m going to go with the heart out bed bed kids stuff 1-1, palaversa

The air does wonderful things around my ways

Right, proper stuff is back on. No idea why I’m pumped for this

Aye, thought it was always in the Aberdeen section. Happy to see it resurrected though. Always worth a good laugh.

Topics merged. this would be a great tinpot appointment

Presume the chances of him playing a meaningful role are slim?

Was painfully predictable, Al! Just like clockwork, although unusual for it to be this far in advance, they must be worried

Final whistle of the Scotland game. That said, I’d heard the McGrath to dhims rumour pre season Even the BBC have done a radio show about the possibility of winning the league This game is one I just want us to have a good showing. Tims will be well up for this one (as will we but the gulf in resources should probably triumph). The games against the huns and the arabs are the ones we need to win. Of course I still want us to win mind. Into these soap dodging cunts.

Thoroughly deserved…now sign the contract…

That was one disjointed display, but we ground out the result which was the most important thing. As others have said, we definitely can't play like that against the tims or we will get torn a new one. Subs were very good, I was surprised we didn't see Palaversa, but I guess given Clarksons form, we can't really drop him. think it needs to be Shinnie / Palaversa and Nilsen to start next time though. We can't afford to yield the midfield. Sokler was unlucky with his headers, and we'll call it a dummy for the Palaversa goal shall we He definitely drew the players attention, so was in the right place again but just can't finish. I think that's 15 different goalscorers now though. Superb. I'd be raging if I was a hearts fan, thank fuck I'm not "Hearts, Hearts are falling apart, again"
