manc_don Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 So, this will be the true test to see how far we have come as a squad and team. Packed away end and hopefully the dhims will be distracted by their clash with Inter on Thursday. The 3-3 result was perfect and hopefully they actually progress as it will be an additional distraction to the league. On our day, we're more than capable of winning there, that's for sure. In / Out: In Pre match: Probably dying from Subbie Match: Not sure, home end with PL. Post Match: Pub and then airport Prediction: 2-1 us, McGinn and Daniels Form guide: Celtic - WWWWW Dons - DDWWW COYR :ultras: Quote
mizer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Not sure how this will go, but think it will be a score draw. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Heart says we'll go at them from the start and get 3 points. My head says there will be a controversial decision to ensure we don't get anything from the game... Quote
mizer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Heart says we'll go at them from the start and get 3 points. i would say exact opposite, can see McInnes holding back and hitting them on the break Quote
Tyrant Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Years of "conditioning" to what it was like being a Dons fan have taught me to expect us to bottle it. All I want this Saturday is for us to give 100%, not play like pussies and for the referees to have a good game. Quote

manc_don Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Posted February 24, 2015 And what about Sunday? I agree though, think we'll try to keep a tight ship and hit them on the break. Much like we did against them in the previous two games. Just lapses in concentration cost us in the most recent fixture. Quote
BrechinRed Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Going to be tough but I think we will just scrape a win.......then lose to bottom of the table Motherwell in the next game ! Quote
BigAl Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 We ARE going to win on Sunday 3-1 yo us. Feel it in my water, so to speak :ultras: Quote
Kowalski Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Not sure how this will go, but think it will be a score draw. I concur. 1-1. Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 I've got a funny feeling we might just get right up in their faces from the off. Quote
scotfree Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 A 1-1 draw. But then again as said before I might have the mentality of a dons supporter and think the worst. Quote
DonsTalk Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/499582/aberdeen-fc-mclean-relishing-showdown-trip-celtic/ Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean is relishing Sunday’s Premiership trip to champions Celtic as the Dons refuse to give up on the pursuit of the leaders. McLean impressed in the 3-0 cruise against his former club St Mirren on Saturday. Adam Rooney scored twice – his 22nd and 23rd goals of the season – before defender Mark Reynolds added a third in a ruthless display. And midfielder McLean knows how important the trip to Parkhead is. Celtic defeated Hamilton 4-0 at home yesterday to move three points clear of the Dons and McLean said: “It’s massive. Since I have came to the club everyone has been talking about this game, whether it’s the supporters or the press. “None of the games going into this were going to be easy but we have handled ourselves very professionally and not looked too far ahead. “Now Celtic is the next game and we will start preparing for it. Our confidence is up and we are playing well at the moment. “We are scoring goals and defending well as a team. Can we beat them? I don’t see why not. “We have got the quality in the squad to beat anyone.” McLean has stepped up his level of performance in each of his three matches for the Dons and said: “I would say that was my best performance for Aberdeen so far. I knew it was going to take a bit of time to adapt coming here from St Mirren. “I have settled in pretty quickly and have got up to speed with how we play. I am starting to click with a few of the players. “There were a times when I should probably have found the back of the net but I am sure the goals will come. “We’ve scored 10 goals in the last three games and kept clean sheets as well. It’s been great to be part of it and long may it continue.” McLean has swapped a team struggling against relegation to one contending for the title and despite the criticism of the move by Buddies manager Gary Teale, who claimed the midfielder should have gone to English football, the player is content he made the right decision. McLean added: “At St Mirren we were always going behind in games and it was a struggle. “Aberdeen play good, expansive football, we create chances and score goals. “Winning breeds confidence and playing with better players around me will also make me better. “‘Everyone has opinions. But as soon I heard Aberdeen were interested, I came up and got it done right away. I was very happy to come here. “That’s his opinion if he thinks it is the wrong move. I’m just going to keep working hard and see where that takes me.” Aberdeen defender Ashton Taylor and midfielder Nicky Low will return to training this week and could be in contention for places in the squad for the Celtic match.

manc_don Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 Two things: It's nice and refreshing to hear a player break rank, but that's probably the fan in me wanting to hear what I want to hear. He's clearly enjoying being with us and that is good to read. Quote

tlg1903 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Out Pub Pub Pub (then curry house, do love a Sunday sesh when you have Monday off) 2-0 dons, mclean and rooney More I think about it the more I reckon it makes sense to go toe to toe from the off. Sitting back will just allow them to conserve energy, to takeadvantage of a euro hangover it's logical to make them work for possession. It's not like we are not capable of doing so Quote
mizer Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Actually the guy posting this crap has just deleted his twitter account.....mainly as they Vanguard Bears have found his threats to them and named him. Had a picture of his loon who plays for Partick Thistle youths under the caption 'Partick Thistle IRA' and the party/him linked to a Celtic-Feynoord account with this in it It seems to be mainly Dutch guys but on their FB page folk have actually liked it....https://www.facebook.com/818587844869146/photos/a.818621578199106.1073741828.818587844869146/826373310757266/?type=1&theater Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 My only experience of Feyenoord fans was when I worked the nightshift at a New Zealand backpackers hostel. When I came in to start my shift I was told there had been some serious trouble with some guests and both a female guest and one of my female colleagues had been assaulted. Security was meant to have dealt with it but somehow it had been agreed to let the priks stay. The same girl who was assaulted was meant to be doing the morning shift and was genuinely scared she would have to face her attackers again on her own so I stayed back an extra hour. At 7am the first of them arrived in reception (Feyenoord tattoos all over his arms) and made a bee-line for her but stopped when I came out of the office. It then dawned on me that perhaps it hadn't been the best idea to wear my Don's shirt to work. However if he had aggro on his mind he seemed to think twice and went and sat down to check his emails. His two accomplices turned up (one in a Feyenoord shirt) a few minutes later and again seemed to bottle it when they saw me. Given I'm about as hard as a Teletubby i can only assume they were either only brave when it came to picking on small German girls, or Aberdeen Football Club fans have some sort of reputation in Rotterdam. I always wondered how they reacted when they found out they had been banned from both their tour bus and thanks to me, every backpacker hostel and hotel in Wellington. Quote
