manc_don Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 Final European outing of the season. Mixed emotions for this one. Could and really should have been a dead rubber for the right reasons, but we are where we are. I really don’t expect us to put out a first team for this one, and if we do, well , that’s just lunacy. Cup final on the weekend has to be our priority so who knows, we may even see Dadia be nice for a few more youngsters to get a taste of euro football, especially when there’s no pressure on. A win would be good for the bank balance but is it worth the cup final? No. Will we try a different formation? out bed work work 3-0 Frankfurt, no dons scorer Quote
RicoS321 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 Fair play to the club for getting idiots like me to buy tickets for this pish way in advance. 2 Quote
Jute Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 I have train tickets but didn’t buy a match ticket. Might just head up and sit in pub. 1 Quote
Panda Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 I would start Duk and Sokler and let them believe they're fighting it out for a cup final place. Would like to see MacDonald get more minutes with a view to starting the final. Shinnie, Clarkson, McGrath, Devlin and Miovski all wrapped in cotton wool. Suspect Barron will start. Polvara too. I'd even keep Roos on the bench to save him from injury. They pumped Bayern 5-1 on Saturday. Only raise their against the men from Munich clearly. Quote
RicoS321 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Posted December 10, 2023 I think we should look to bring Duff and Young out of retirement for this one. Duff was an underrated centre half. 2 Quote
SeeBass Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 So are we going with Doohan, Milne, MacDonald, MacKenzie, Morris, Barron, Polvara, Duncan, Hayes, Sokler, Gueye as a starting XI? 3-2 Aberdeen. Quote
Jute Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 MacKenzie said at weekend he would be out for a while yet. Quote

SeeBass Posted December 11, 2023 Report Posted December 11, 2023 Just thought. Is this the first time since squad numbers were introduced that we don't have a No.1 jersey whether for a keeper or otherwise? Quote

In fairness Rico, I find myself in exactly the same boat having bought a three match ticket,. The difference between us is that I have around a seven hour drive there and back 1 Quote
Jute Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Picked up a couple of freebies tonight so going to head along. Assuming we will be putting out none of the players. Who will play on Sunday or that played last night. Expecting Frankfurt to put out a weakened side as well but to still beat us comfortably. Fair number of Frankfurt fans on the train up who don’t have tickets. Shame they can’t see the game as would have created an atmosphere and made us extra cash. In pub Y pub 3-1 Barron with dons consolation goal. Quote
RicoS321 Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Strong team out..... Stayed at home. Quote
Slim Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Is that a 541 with Milne and McGarry at full back and Morris and Duncan on the wings? Or 451 with Gartenminmin at RB and Milne in midfield (or even vice versa)? Not sure anyone in that line up can play on the left of a back 3. Quote
BigAl Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Fifteen minutes to kick off and Pittodrie is like a morgue Quote

Elgindon Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Must have seen the line up.Almost worth going(im not) to get a glimpse of Dadia. Interesting to watch how good or shite this line up performs. Prediction 1 - 5 the furters Quote
Panda Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Stephen Craigan sounds angry that he's being paid to watch this game. Hopefully he requests never to do an Aberdeen game again. 1 Quote
Kowalski Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Great cross from one of the worst players ever to play for us. Quote

Kowalski Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Great finish for the second goal. But just before it, it looked like a pen to me - let down by VAR yet again! Quote
RicoS321 Posted December 14, 2023 Report Posted December 14, 2023 Does anyone want my ticket for the Frankfurt game? Unused. Quote
manc_don Posted December 14, 2023 Author Report Posted December 14, 2023 Great ball from Polvara and beautiful finish from Sokler to do it justice. At least we get a win bonus, but very much a what could have been campaign imo. Now if we could repeat this on Sunday... https://x.com/FaeFoggie/status/1735379265846165827?s=20 Quote
