Dons vs Hibs - Friday

[manc_don]

This is a huge game now. We need to regain composure after meagre showing on the weekend. We keep saying it, and I know we all know we can expect a bit of an up and down season, but we really should be seeing more of the up than the down by now. 
 

Boyle is out which is a boost, but we’re still our own worst enemy and do the attacking for the opposition. We do have a reasonable record against them at home, so there is reason for illogical optimism.

Looking forward to it,could be a thrashing either way.5 - 2 Dons Duk,Miovski x2,Besuijen x2

[Jute]

This is sort of game we should be looking to win if we are going to get third. Both teams have been on decent runs aside from thumpings from the Glasgow bigots. Expect Coulson to come back in for McKenzie although not convinced that will really help us defensively. Richardson should be dropped but not sure how we do that without playing McCrorie at right back.

2-1 Miovski and Lopes.

Anybody think Ramirez will finally get a start?

[Jute]

If Goodwin is going to stick with 2 up top then I think we need to give Miovski and Lopes a bit longer to form a partnership as the two before making a change. No reflection on Ramirez as he has looked decent when he has come off the bench. 

[manc_don]

All I ask, please don’t be shit. Whoever wins this gets a massive confidence booster.

[Elgindon]

Quite like a Fri pm game.1500 Hibs fans up for this,should be lively.Bit of luck their team Hibs it. COYR

Harsh on McKenzie, thought Coulson was terrible when he came on against Der Hun. Richardson winning the "nae ither cunt plays there" award.

Surely there must be someone in the development team that we could try.

I don't feel that miovski deserves to keep his place. He had about two touches at fir park. ( Granted one was a goal ). Then I'm not even sure he was playing at Ibrox. Total impostor when the going gets tough. 

Take out the penalties and he's nowhere near as prolific as Ramirez in his first season.

Seems pig headed from Jim.

* Guaranteed he'll score three now *

1-0 penalty, absolute farce. VAR at its finest. But we benefit!

[OxfordDon]

Genuinely don't know how we are in the lead.  Also, didn't look like a penalty to me.  But i'll take it

[OrlandoDon]

He was onside, var checked that. And there’s keeper contact, var checked that. Took 5 mins ffs.  But I think Duk is already diving and it’s not the contact that takes him down. Harsh. As for the retake, he was off his line so that’s the rules, but they are not always called and retaken.

[Elgindon]

VAR growing on me,lol. What a palaver,probably don't deserve to be ahead like.Absorbing game,need to pull our finger out second though,Hibs have used the ball much better. Good crowd,great Hibs support up.,let's push on fae here...

[Jute]

Retake was correct decision but never a penalty in the first place. Lopes dived which initiated the contact. VAR is shite. It is the end for me with top flight football. 

[OxfordDon]

It's a great snapshot of correct and inocrrect use of VAR - offside & keeper off line, these are easily checked, clear cut, sensible uses of VAR.  Duk's dive/penalty though, I'm still of the opinion that VAR should be used to check that there was a clear and obviou foul, and if not, it should not be awarded.

[OrlandoDon]

It’s a funny old game saint. More goals in this.

Lovely header by Miovski but dear god Hibs defence is shocking.

3-0. Ramandani. 

[OxfordDon]

Duk is proper entertainment, can't wait to seehim and Hayes back on the same pitch.

[OxfordDon]

Lovely.
