Yep, I think we have found a way that we can set up to beat the hun, but it's volatile. The difference for me is that we can set up the same way against the Tims and Huns, and against the Huns we can afford 4-5 losses of concentration/mistakes without being punished whereas the Tims it's only 2-3 (I'm using these figures as illustration). Playing the way we do, we need the near perfect game to beat the Tims, which is why it doesn't happen as often.

I might have misunderstood the Heb ones, but I think that they were just examples on their website rather than kit-like designs. They seem to be focused on the CLT supply and efficiency/energy saving designs and so on. In other words, if you gave them draawins they'd make a "kit" to suit those. *Edit: in reality, they seem almost like a middle man for the Austrian outfit that actually makes the buildings.

I don't believe in the Glasgow hoodoo or whatever we'd like to call it. I do believe that you have to beat either of the scum a requisite number of times in order to win the league or cup (or get very lucky), but I don't think that there was a fear, or a superstition behind it. We've simply never been good enough - and nowhere near them. I think we've been on a par with the hun since they returned, or certainly close enough to them that wins down there are not significantly against the odds (they would still be favourites as the home team). It's really not that different to a Hamilton or someone having a poor record at Pittodrie - it's not a hoodoo, it's just that we are massive odds on favourites to beat them at home. Under Brendan Rogers, the Tims were far enough ahead of us that it meant a win at Parkhead was unlikely. I don't think it is that important going forward, because I think our "fear" of winning in Glasgow will be far outweighed by transfer activity. What it does do is claw them back and make things harder for them off-field by putting pressure on them. A bit like us finishing second last season, anything that does that is fantastic. If this win puts a downer on the rest of the huns' season then it'll help to reduce season ticket sales and in turn Gerrard's transfer budget. They played a blinder by getting Gerrard in during the summer, which lifted the huns' after another shite season. If he turns out to be an average manager (which many of us suspected) then it'll further drag them down to the point that they'll have to reckon with their massive overspending.

They look the business like Rumpus. I do like the cross laminated timber like. Good bit of woodworking machine porn on that site too.

Just watched the highlights. What a solid, organised performance. Considine and McKenna just phenomenal. How on earth Morelos stays on that pitch with that second dive I've no idea. They were embarrassing.

McInnes certainly showed that he's tactically superior over the two games. Throwing on all yer strikers after going down 2-0 with no thought to how they might organise themselves is embarrassing. They've put a lot of faith in a name. I hope it goes tits up for him.

In Glasgow. McInnes has some set of stats for the dons like. A lot of firsts, most points, goals etc. He'll soon have to employ Mark McGhee full time in order to keep his wikipedia page updated.

Fucking brilliant result though. Well done Dons, well done McInnes. Third victory in the weegie land against the dirty hun scum. Class above.

It's a fucking joke actually. We've had to play a replay. A yellow in the cup should just be added to league yellows. Will be a huge miss in the semi. Just as he was against Motherwell.

8. Impressive. Sounds like Goldson lucky not to be redded.

Need another player to take a booking. The huns have been diving all over the fucking shop. They don't deserve anything from this game. Cheating hun cunts.

Shinnie banned for the semi. Bit shite the old yellow card situation like. A joke that you can miss semi finals.

May, fucking hell. Not done much, no sense in risking him missing the semi. Get Wilson on.

Get him off.

Have to say, McCann is a good pundit like. Speaks with the insight of a manager.

back to radio it seems. stream cancelled due to copyright. Take it nobody has anything else..

Cheers, I got it. Wasn't great, but hopefully a bit better in the second. We won't last another 45 minutes playing like this, we need a bit more of an out ball than Stevie May. McLennan not done much either. Don't think we'll finish with 10 either. Clancy very card happy. Consistently so, to be fair, but they're throwing themselves to the ground at every opportunity.

Link min....

Nah, radio only due to Champions League cuntery.

Get in. McGinn hates the huns.

Agree that I think we had our chance. Never liked Ferguson playing further forward, it nullifies his game in my opinion. I would think that if Campbell plays it'd be flat 3 in the midfield in 4-5-1. I'd rather see a more attacking player in midfield if that's the case, as I think Wilson will need someone close to him. I'd have Wilson and Stewart central to see if they can link up. McLennan has been poor going forward, but he's vastly improved his tracking back so he's not entirely wasted out wide. I'd prefer McGinn or GMS obviously.

Ahh, forgot about Cosgrove missing. Agree with the above.

Let's get this one back to the top. What's everyone's views for tonight? Same team as Saturday? Any ideas on GMS or McGinn's fitness? If availabe, I'd take GMS in for McLennan and if he's not interested then ditch him at half time. Otherwise probably the same 11, and definitely the same formation (4 at the back). Wilson looked like he did some actual work, so give him a wee chance to show what he can do again and perhaps ditch him for McGinn at half time (a lot of half time subs!) if he's pish. I always think that Wilson might produce a belter fae nowhere, despite the fact that he's been lazy, pish and uninterested because he scored a peach at Hamilton. Also, any idea if the game will be shown on Red TV or anywhere else? Or are we to be dictated to by UEFA due to some horseshite tournament that all fitba fans must surely watch?

I think it's actually much worse than that. I think he did watch him play.

But McInnes clearly believes he has committed himself, working long hours and sacrificing family time. I don't think he's lying in any way in the article below. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-gaffer-derek-mcinnes-reveals-10185861 So there's an obvious discrepancy between what you think commitment is and he does. I think that it shows that he's an above average SPFL (and probably championship level) fitba manager. I don't think "barely competent" is an objective view point. I think that the evidence of the last six seasons show some glaring inadequacies. In my opinion, he works very hard for AFC and he is committed (maybe to his career as much as to AFC, but that would be splitting hairs) but perhaps his inadequacies can't be overcome by hard work. Perhaps he doesn't recognise them (or - just as likely - I'm wrong). Either way, from chatting on here, most folk are in agreement about his inadequacies, so at the very least we can identify those in another manager (as well as those of McInnes' qualities we'd like to retain). I liked your comment about culture on another thread and I think that's definitely missing at AFC, along with accountability. Our signings and youth promotion appear to be without a club strategy and they are definitely areas which the board and staff should have offered more resource to help the manager (maybe they have, I don't know). I think McInnes has taken us forward and there's a clear path to improvement. I hope that the club sees that.
