Last year when we played, I thought the Aberdeen board were fantastic at trying to promote the game. That was the game when the Red army singing section or something like that was first used. Are there any plans to encourage Don's fans to purchase the stream even though it's on the telly? I'll probably watch on TV but I'll still buy a stream to help the club. I'm not sure we'll even be running the stream tbh. @sarti pooh seemed quite happy that he wouldn't need to deal with idiot Dons fans who couldn't get connected. 1 hour ago, Suspect Device said: It would be an embarrassment bigger than the Hearts Brora if we don't win this game comfortably. Oh oh. I get we've been shite this season but is it really more embarrassing for a Premiership side to lose to a League 1 side than a Championship side losing to a Highland league team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Boghead was always a very difficult ground to find for some reason. I have memories of stumbling out of pub in the High Street in the 80's and wandering round dog shite infested housing estates for an hour until I eventually found a tiny wee lane that led to the turnstiles. Maybe it was just me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's your 4th game in a week on top of the players' full time jobs. I'd say so , yes but I possibly have a higher regard for the Highland league than you do. Of course the fact they'd hardly played is also a factor. Edited March 31, 2021 by Suspect Device 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pumped Huntly out 4-0 in the previous round and we were told they were a decent HL team, Brora are a better side obviously but the level between Aberdeen and Dumbarton is closer than Hearts and Brora. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 5 hours ago, Bob Mahelp said: In one sense it's unfair on Dumbarton, because they run the risk of niggling injuries. On the other hand, it means that their players are match sharp and will have no signs of rustiness. We haven't played for 2 weeks, and we're notoriously pish at getting back into the groove after a break. Expect a start that will be as slow as a week in jail as we think we can wear Dumbarton down by knocking it around the back 4. Oh please let it be a back four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played two days ago, play tomorrow, play Thursday, play Scottish Cup match on Saturday, play Tuesday, play Thursday, play Saturday. Bloody hell. This kind of thing happens in football manager and has me absolutely fizzing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Something tells me Dumbarton will be better for playing their fourth game in a week than we will for playing our second game in a month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Is it wrong that I am properly dreading this game, and would rather we just got chucked out the Scottish Cup for our players having a houseparty tonight than actually played it? I don't think we'll get pumped. Duffy can set a team out to be stuffy and hard to break down. We'll lose 2/3-0 without registering a shot on target though, and everyone who doesn't watch us every week will use words like "plucky" and "well organised". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hoping the new manager bounce leads to us scoring from open play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I had a dream last night that we lost 2-1 after extra-time, with Considine having to score an stoppage-time equaliser to get us to extra-time in the first place. I mean, not totally beyond the realms of possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say that outcome probably is beyond the realms of possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 If this isnt a vidiprinter score tomorrow where the Aberdeen score has to be in both numbers and text because it's so big then Glass should walk at full time. We're pish. Absolutely pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Glass will be comforted by the fact he could field no goalkeeper tomorrow and still not worry about losing a goal. Jan says we're not due a goal until Thursday but we're not due a shot on target until Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Haven't been to the Rock (The C&G Systems Stadium) so pretty gutted when I saw the draw. It would have been a good day out. Aberdeen are dreadful but hopefully we can get a win to give us confidence again, be interesting to see how Sheering sets us up, by all accounts Glass is not going to get involved until he arrives. Feel sorry for Dumbarton having to play 4 times in a week but I would like to think Aberdeen can take advantage of it although i can't see us scoring 4 or 5. 0-0 (pens it is!)
