Aberdeen have played St Mirren 15 times in the league cup, but only once in a QF, in 1989 when we won 3-1 thanks to goals from Mason, Bett and an own goal. In the 8 games played at Pittodrie we have yet to lose, with 6 wins and 2 draws. The biggest League Cup game against St Mirren came in 1955 when the Dons won the League Cup 2-1 at Hamdpen in front of 44,000 fans: The Full Record: Neutral Played 1 Won 1 Home Played 8 Won 6 Drawn 2 Lost 0 Away Played 6 Won 3 Drawn 2 Lost 1 All Played 15 Won 10 Drawn 4 Lost 1 Match Breakdown 19 Aug 1995 Aberdeen 3 - 1 St. Mirren League Cup R2 10,397 30 Aug 1989 Aberdeen 3 - 1 St. Mirren League Cup QF 11,500 25 Aug 1976 Aberdeen 4 - 0 St. Mirren League Cup G2 8,212 18 Aug 1976 St. Mirren 2 - 3 Aberdeen League Cup G2 4,500 29 Aug 1964 Aberdeen 2 - 2 St. Mirren League Cup G1 7,000 15 Aug 1964 St. Mirren 3 - 3 Aberdeen League Cup G1 5,000 28 Aug 1963 St. Mirren 0 - 3 Aberdeen League Cup G2 7,000 14 Aug 1963 Aberdeen 2 - 2 St. Mirren League Cup G2 11,000 22 Oct 1955 Aberdeen 2 - 1 St. Mirren League Cup F 44,106 27 Aug 1949 Aberdeen 1 - 0 St. Mirren League Cup GA 22,000 13 Aug 1949 St. Mirren 3 - 1 Aberdeen League Cup GA 25,000 02 Oct 1948 St. Mirren 1 - 1 Aberdeen League Cup GD 17,000 30 Aug 1947 Aberdeen 2 - 0 St. Mirren League Cup GA 20,000 09 Aug 1947 St. Mirren 0 - 1 Aberdeen League Cup GA 8,000

It looked blood awful

Just watching sportscene, where was Vernon's miss in the first half where he kicked it backwards

Wow I thought Scottish refs were bad, how the hell did toress get sent off there

I'd be wary of changing too much and as much as I'd like us to play 442 we look better in our 451/433 formation. Apparently Helen haven't lost in seven at pittodrie. Hopefully another record broken and a decent crowd and atmosphere in the ground.

The second was definitely an own goal

Loved the way Houston claims he never realised the significance of 51.

Massive game on Tue. Might be inclined to freshen things up a bit and start with Hayes but not sure who I would leave out. The obvious answer is Clark but when we went to two in the middle on sat we lost out a bit to Dundee. Vernon needs to get in on the goals as looks short if confidence but as the Dunfermline game showed we are a poorer team with out him. Got to keep the momentum going and surely just by the law of averages if we get through we are due a semi final win.

Terrible atmosphere today, perhaps because we all expected a comfortable win and got it with out too much to shout about, positive or negative

Played a lot better this season and got a draw so can't complain too much but poor start to the second half and Vernon missed at least two Holden chances that would have seen us in second. But that is really just nit picking. Coasted for most the game and with a little more luck would have been even more comfortable. Two tough away games but how good would it be if we went into the tims game knowing a win would see us top. This team deserves a far bigger crowd than they are getting, great opening quarter to the season, lets hope it is just a start and we push on from here over the next Monty or two.

Well 0-4 Hibs!!! We'll need a good win tomorrow to get above them again

I'll see if I can dig out their address later

Where in England is Dumbarton

We're fucked

good signing for them, they looked better than their position would suggest, and with their games in hand I'm sure they will be up level with us before long

TRF still exists, I subscribe to it so get it delivered to my door but you can still buy it on the street outside Pittodrie if you can find Merkie. Still got some cracking cartoons and the notes and quotes bit is good. Other than that Merkie continues to write incredibly long pieces in incredibly small print in the finest obe tradition. Sadly it's the only one on the go these days but I suppose the internet has taken over, however there are fee fan penned articles about; a few on mad but that is about it these days, probably space in the market for a dedicated afc blog.

McFadden signs for Sunderland

Is this not good news?

Sooner he fucks off the better. Interesting quote from Gavin Rae in tomorrow's programme and from what Brown has said himself I suspect he is completely isolated within the squad:

Kerr and Grassi injured for the weekend, not sure if that is good or bad for us. Apparently the jutes have ten first team players injure.

wow that is some profit for Utd, is that from their cup winning year or last year? In fact must be last year, perhaps includes a few big sales
