That first half was unreal. I don't think I've ever seen us play like that. The pen miss was the obvious downside and really seemed to take the wind out of our sails. But prior to that, it was proper steam roller stuff! What a redemption arc for Morris btw. Fuck me. The guy is brimming with confidence and that finish could easily have been scuffed but he nailed it. Consistently looked dangerous and had them on the ropes. Thought topi again wasn't at it and wanted Morris on sooner, but the duk injury changed his thinking. Overall, we definitely deserved the win. We made it harder than necessary but got the job done and that's the main thing. Onto the weekend!

Slept like shite, too nervous for the game. Can’t wait for it.

Would be happy with that lineup. Let’s get right fucking into them!

The funny thing is, the mugs on swallow swallow actually think it’s a good thing as their revenue is up. A player sale and it’s all resolved. Oh aye? Which player is that?

That’s really sad news, RIP MBT.

hed have gone for the knee slide. Keeps him grounded.

Ah well. Would have been a big slice of luck had either of those results gone our way. Hopefully we out the blue orcs in their rightful place this week.

Good to have you back on board just loving all the positivity around the club and fans at the moment. Makes me uneasy but I fucking love it

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
