Kari Arnason interviewed on Sky about beating Tims. Last question from interviewer to him was did he think Celtic playing on a Thursday would help Aberdeen challenge he replied "I hope so. Once a Don always a Don." Always liked that guy.

Heading along to this one. Thistle looked pish from highlights of their game against Hearts so expecting us to win this one comfortably. In Boozer in West End Away end Train back to Edinburgh 2-0 Dons, McGinn and Rooney

Motherwell and Hearts both win in extra time.

Did I miss the Ronnie Roar. Great result as it denies them a bucket load of cash.

Better get tickets ordered then.

Not in your wildest dreams cunto. Just cleared space in the trophy cabinet and got the victory speech prepared.

Bit of a joke the Shinnie cannot get in to the squad but apart from that think its a decent squad.

Sky had some of the preseason games on red zone on Saturday night and are showing next weeks Houston v New Orleans preseason game. Looking forward to the season starting for real although it looks like 9ers are going to win the 1st draft pick prize this year. Heading over in November to see 9ers play the Cardinals at Levi. First visit to the new stadium so looking forward to it.

Got to applaud them for not falling for the obvious Abba trap. Programme itself was shite however. Usual bias towards the two usual suspects and Hearts in the coverage. Also asking Boyd a current Killie player if his manager was going to get sacked was beyond pointless.

Agree that Quinn needs to play as back 4 will need the extra protection he provides. Rooney has to start up front however. Goodwillie does not look like he has any goals in him and with chances likely to be at a premium against Dundee we need someone up front who is able to take the one chance that falls his way. Oot Flat Edinburgh City v Whitehill Welfare Flat 2-1 Dons Goodwillie double following comments above.

Moves Falcao down pecking order already.

Would expect Saturday to be one of our larger home gates of the season.

Because he is a money grabbing cunt.

Hope your right Al as this lad has lower league journeyman written all over him.

United's new keeper looks shit. He flapped at a few in game against us as well. Nicky Low did well when he came on. He will do well there if he stays injury free and may well end up back at Dons when Jack moves on.

That would be a boost. Edit: Although I bet the bastard would have a Dnipro style performance if he does come back.

Surely Dons never picked that date?

Would still think another striker would need to be secured before Shankland is allowed to go on loan.

Edited that just in time Manc. Move to a Sunday rules me out for this one. Agree that manager will ring changes after Thursday. Would expect Flood, Quinn and Rooney to all start. Would like to see us going with a back 4 and keeping Shinnie at left back but suspect Mancs team will be nearer the mark. Killie looked pish last week against Dundee and full expect us to have to much for them. Oot Flat Listening on radio Flat 3-0 Dons Rooney double and McGinn.

Would rather they announced later trains from Aberdeen than this. It's a farce that you cannot travel from Aberdeen to Edinburgh or Glasgow after 9pm on public transport.

Goodwillie may hold the ball up but well but he simply does not look like scoring which for a striker is a major problem. Rooney should have started tonight. He would have been far more likely to get us the early goal we needed. The error from Ward had been coming. He has made similar mistakes in other games but has got lucky when opposition have not followed shots in. Tonight they did and we were punished. I just do not get why Taylor is such a favourite with the fans when he is an accident waiting to happen. He is constantly out of position and making the wrong decisions. He was at least as culpable for the goal as Ward. Gutted to be out as they were not a particularly good team. We just got our tactics wrong in the first game and individual errors cost us tonight.

I only heard it on breakfast news and only bit they said was bit about if fit. Reading the article does make it clearer.

Great player. He loved the Dons as well. He went to Coventry so Dons could get a fee rather than leave at the end of his contract for free when he could have secured himself a far more lucrative deal.
