topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Two sides that have had periods of looking rather good indeed this season but have had a tougher time of it of late. For optimists this match could technically be a dress rehearsal for the cup final . For pessimists it features two sides that have lost against Hamilton lately. The international break will have given McInnes and Levein plenty of time to come up with a potential solution to their problems. For Hearts the question of how to make things function without Steven Naismith has proved difficult to say the least. Hearts have better cover than in previous seasons but Steven's Naismith's 32 year old knee has been a single point of failure in this squad. Aberdeen on the other hand have dropped 12 points in their last 6 games as many as their previous 18 games. Whatever McInnes did at the end of September after Aberdeen's lacklustre start he'll need to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 We sold out the away end and Hearts caved and gave us more tickets. That's really all you need to know about this fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naegoodinthedark Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Can’t we just count the amount of cup semi tickets sold by each team and award points accordingly?It would obviously be a well earned 3 points for the Jambos, and we could all just stay in the pub.

Aubrey Maturin Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think Levein should go for it, put caution to the wind and go with one up top. Should be a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow-sheep Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It's an away game so we'll win. Hopefully AFC volunteer to have all post split games away from Pittodrie too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 This is so box office I had to look on the 2nd page to find it. As has been said, it's an away game so we should win. On the other hand, it's a Tynecastle and we have a poor record there unless we're playing St. Johnstone. I'll go for a narrow away win.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Bookies are calling this even you'll get about 9/5 on either side to win 6/1 No Goal Scorer may be a smarter investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have this on my coupon as a draw so if both teams could see their way clear to making this an eye bleeding nil nil that would be great thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Positives - it's an away game and we tend to be the dogs danglies away from home. Negatives - it's at Tynecastle, a place where we've struggled with the physical onslaught from Levein sides too often in the past. prediction 1-1 (the big Cambridge boy / top midfielder Shinnie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
