So I switch on and the first words I hear are "and Frankfurt take the lead..."

Far too rushed. This playing with intensity isn't working, we just give the ball away.

Slow it down, pass the ball properly, let Hearts (who are just as poor as us, goal apart) run themselves into a frenzy, and we've got the front players to make clever runs and open them up.

Instead it's kick and rush followed by pot shots from the edge of the box.

This.  We look like a team playing with little control and more than a hint of desperation.  If Hearts are dominating us imagine what a proper team will do on Thursday.

To be fair, Uefa rules say you can't charge away fans more than €25, so Frankfurt fans will also pay £21.50 at Pittodrie.

But still, they're charging £13 for the standing section. Our unofficial standing section is £28.

Presumably the Frankfurt fans have to stand on one leg.  Seems fair.

The biggest problem with Sokler is that it's difficult to tell the difference between him and Miovski. The club have either got to stop playing them together or force one of them into a drastic haircut. Miovski was here first, so it really should be Sokler that takes the punishment.

Could check to see if Hayes got any leftover peroxide

Striker sounds like he’d have good conditioning. 

Maybe we are looking for a hair apparent to Duk should we lose him.

Think Stewart Milne is past it yo be fair mate 

If he defends the box like his wallet he'd be a great addition.

Sky commentary is insufferable, you wonder if they even bother to check who the other team is each week.

Feel sorry for Devlin.

Reckon over the piece he'll be an ok signing and a solid 7/10 most games.

Devlin looks like he has the mentality that he will fight tooth and nail to make up for his error.

Oh. And morris hasn’t been shite!

For the first time ever there's been the faintest trace of anticipation when Morris strides forward with the ball, instead of an overbearing acceptance of imminent disappointment.

Polvara looking pretty good too.

We may be losing, but I like what I see in how we are playing.  This game is definitely not out of reach.

Oh dear 

Vinny comes on in the 79th minute when we are 2-0 down, scores a wonder hattrick in under 8 minutes.

Stewart comes on in the 87th minute to shore up the defence, concedes 2 OGs.

According to the BBC, our record against Celtic is so bad that they've even managed 25 clean sheets in the last 10 games against us.

Ok lads, I have sufficient loyalty points to acquire a ticket for the play off match BUT as I have posted elsewhere I will be out of the country and can't attend, therefore it's simple, the first person to offer me face value (think it is £25) gets it.

I'll be watching from afar getting pished.

 

Hemmin, haven't you learned anything from this thread - success isn't measured in monetary terms.  I'll give you a quid.

I suppose it's no less unsporting than us having three times Livingston's budget.

Difference is, we have historically gone out of our way to be fair and level the playing field by wasting that money.

That was absolute murder to watch, we need to learn not to get dragged down to the opponent's level of anti-football tactics in games like these.  About the only positive I can think of is that we miraculously didn't pick up any injuries.

So paid my sick squid and joined the Charlton stream at half time...

You are correct mate and I am a total fuckwit who looked at the tweet and then proceeded to type the name of the person who tweeted rather than the correct name. Serves me right for trying to post whilst trying to keep my eyes on Stewart and Richardson's defending on another screen 

This is why the football monitoring board will never work.

I was amused by how afc Twitter managed to get their pants wet by him following the club on instagram this week. It was never happening after last week. Shame, and exactly the caliber of player we should be looking to sign. Big wad of cash for a player with 11 months to go, but they’ve got the cash so it’ll be pocket change for them. Onwards and upwards, but I’d like to see someone confirmed soon.

Warned you that profile pic thing was nothing but trouble.

First they get relegated, then they get beaten by Spartans, and now they've signed Louis Moult.

Cant't be easy being a Utd fan right now.

Aye but what’s the name of the Beer Sheva defender?
