Hoping for a bit of performance from the team here. Weekend was disappointing as it was predictable. Despite not actually playing that badly, we were exposed st crucial times. The form generally hasn’t been bad so I’d hope we can give hibs a decent game and get a result. Not having Hayes is a shitter. Whilst getting Cosgrove back is good, I hope we don’t change our style of play to suit. out bed bed bed 2-1 dons, hedges and cosgrove

Fingers crossed it's us then! COME ON YOU FUCKING REDS!

Very sad news about Connery. As you say, Kow, the man was Bond. RIP Not the same level at all, but Marius Zaliukas of diet and full fat fame has passed at 36 ?

Good point, well made. Silly of me to even question it.

Two shocks, Man united win 5-0 against Leipzig...and Barca beat Juve 2-0 in Turin! I'm guessing linked to what Jute mentioned in the other thread

I'm in complete agreement, just trying to think like DM does

We (NZ) seem to be under attack by right wing nut jobs on twitter. Seem to be trying to portray NZ as a fascist state ? honestly, comparing us to Nazi Germany. WTF is wrong with RW yanks? Are they seriously that thick?

Can't say i've been overly impressed with him, but he's gradually improving and hasn't done much wrong. Does that not just mean that he will just play Ojo?

Hoping that the team take great confidence from their performance against the dhimmery on the weekend. Some of the play from the team this season has been very good and it's great to see the manager finally loosening the team up a bit. They are clearly there for the taking, but we need to keep cool heads and try to avoid defensive lapses like the ones that lead to their goals. They still have the class to punish us, not sure what that means defensively. Stick or twist? I don't want to see McCrorie anywhere near the RWB position, it doesn't play to his strengths. Does Cosgrove start or do we stick with Edmundson? Very interested to see how we line up for this one. Our record against them (forgetting the league for now) doesn't really need to be spoken about, it's pretty shite. Been six years since we beat them in any of the cups. I'm hoping the empty Hampdump will actually play in our favour as it does sometimes feel that the players can't hack the weight of expectation from the fans at times. Maybe even the manager. Out Bed Bed (hopefully) Bed (slim chance) 1-2, McCrorie Game is live on Premier Tim Sports at 2:30PM on Sunday.

Have moved all the consi chat into his thread...stay on track lads, cheers ?

Happy days , was following on and off when the boys were awake through the night . Ferguson loves a pen! Bring on next week, should give the team and manager some confidence.

The things I did for this forum eh ??

Suppose the good thing about this fixture is, that I never ever have any optimism or hope due to being burnt far too often. Despite their apparent disarray and rumours re: Lemon, I still think DM will stifle us. Would love to wake up to a positive result, but anything is a bonus nowadays.

Not a lot hasn’t made sense at that club recently.

Koeman really hasn’t had a good start to the season. What’s their deal, just not clicking or terrible tactics?

Gave us some very memorable times and players. Gutted by this news and it’s been great reading folks stories about him. Rest easy, Ebbe ?

A (hun) mate of mine sent it to me but fortunately it was a BT link and i couldn't watched it. The still was of the rat smiling so I avoided it like the plague

Sorry, been laid up for nearly a week with gastro...all of us had it, barely been able to look at a computer screen. Anyway, back in the game and thank you to you and Jute for filling in the blanks in my absence ?

Leigh at LB would be my preference, we know that he's capable, albeit probably not as explosive as Hayes. First half was a good watch although I didn't ever feel like we were in control of it. Just fucking awesome going forward and that Fergie effort, pure golazo. Second half, those subs, wtf. I could sort of understand it because they were getting the upper hand, but it didn't work in our favour at all. I think the only sub I was impressed with was McLennan, he put in a decent shift. We really should have been flying on confidence after that game but I know I certainly felt a bit deflated, which is ridiculous considering we scored four fucking goals. Still, I do fear for the games against the tattie munchers, they'll be hurting post hun.

So my prediction of not having a proper striker did come back to bite us. Didn't expect us to end in a goalless draw though. shite result for us.

According to the AFC site, last time we played there was 11/02/18 and we lost 4-2 - https://www.afc.co.uk/overview/?FixGuid=20DA7719#match-overview I've looked elsewhere and looks like AFC have the score the wrong way around?

What the fuck happened to that guy?!?

Last time we played them at tannalice, we lost 4-2. Had forgotten that and certainly want to be (w)righting that wrong.

Arab's haven't been very good of late so i'd hope we'd be giving a few of their former dons nightmares. Should have enough to see them off but it feels like we're always a bit off after international breaks. We started to come into a decent bit of form so i hope that continues. Certainly Consi should be buoyed by his decent international performance. Lack of goals will probably show up in this game so I think we'll win, but not by much. When is Cosgrove back? 2-1 Dons, Hedges and Consi

Absolutely, he did our club proud. Superb start to my day! I only watched because he got the call up as the national team barely register these days. But as I said, great to see him in the national jersey.
