BBC say 4300 Dons fans have turned up. Memories of August 2002 when Hibs were caught out by a large away support in the days before you had to buy your ticket in advance.

Hibs off to Switzerland in next round (Luzern) Hearts off to Norway (Rosenberg) Manage to get past them and they could face the following in the playoff round Eintract Frankfurt (GER) Lille (FRA) Aston Villa (ENG) Fiorentina (ITL) Club Brugge (BEL) or KA (ICE) FC Santa Coloma (AND) or AZ Alkmaar (NED) Gent (BEL) or Pogon Szczecin (POL) Aris (GRE) or Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) Fenerbahce (TRK) or Mairbor (SLV) Omonia (CYP) or Midtjylland (DEN) Sabah (AZB) or Partizan Belgrade (SER) Hadjuk Split (CRO) or PAOK (GRE) Viktoria Pizen (CZH) or Gzira United (MAL) Bodo/Glimt (DEN) or Pyunik (ARM) AEK Larnaca (CYP) or Maccabi Tel Aviv (ISR) Slavia Prague (CZH) or Dnipro-1 (UKR) Olympiacos (GRE) or Genk (BEL)

Juan Cobian For one entire season I 'wondered' if he actually existed. I think I might have spotted him at Tannadice once but I can't be sure

Potential opponents list for Europa League Playoff starting to take shape Lugano (Sui) Olympiacos (Gre) or Genk (Bel) Slavia Prague (Czh) or Dinipro-1 (Ukr) Zalgris (Lit) or BK Hacken (Swe) Qarabag (Azb) or HJK Helsinki (Fin) Zrinjski Mostar (Bos) or Breioablick (Ice) Sheriff Tiraspol (Mol)or Bate Borisov (Brs) Astana (Kaz) or Ludogorets Razgrad (Bul)

Paul Reubens (AKA Peewee Herman) - 70.

SOOO we are just to ignore the existing thread then?

Looking ominuous for St Johnstone this season. 4-0 home defeat to Stirling Albion Teams through to the knock out stage Seeded Dons Hearts Hibs Tic Sevco Motherwell Airdrie Ayr United Unseeded Partick Thistle Livingston Ross County Kilmarnock St Mirren Stirling Albion Morton Last place will go to either Dundee or Raith (I think)

Not until they are knocked out it isnt

I'm blaming the medications

Arabs join St Johnstone in the top flight teams being eliminated group. No one team has qualified for the next round yet but Airdrie and Ross County look pretty much certain

And following on from North Lanarkshire kicking Clyde out of Broadwood for signing him, glasgow council potentially terminating lease agreement with glasgow united for playing him in a friendly match

I'd blame the design of Eden Park. Terrible stadium for atmosphere compared to the 'Cake Tin' and whatever the new Dunedin stadium is called (They still had the 'house of pain' Carisbrook when I was there).

Louis Moult?

Consult AFC heritage instead (Im only going back through my lifetime) Season opening games against the tic (first home for either) 2022/23 - Tic 2-0 Dons (Welsh & Jota) 2012/13 - Tic 1-0 Dons (Kris Commons with 12 mins left) 2009/10 - Dons 1-3 Tic (Watched in Curlers on Byers Road (full of tic fans). Mcgeady (2) and McDonald made it 3-0 by HT. Aluko got one back) 1999/00 - Dons 0-5 Tic (Larrson and 2 from Viduka made it 3-0 at HT. Jess missed a penalty almost straight from the restart before Larson and Burchill fininshed it off. Shite day all round with bunch of Tic fans trying to start a fight with me and my much younger mate pre match as we were walking through Codonas, then having their away support singing 'Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Aberdeen' after the 5th goal went in. 1998/99 - Dons 3-2 Tic (Perry, made it 1-0 at HT followed by Blinker OG and Hignett. Larsson scored 2. Tic missed 2 of 3 penalties) 1996/97 - Dons 2-2 Tic (Van Hooijdonk free kick making it 1-0 at HT. Alan Stubbs sent off with Windass scoring the penalty. Shearer then made is 2-1 with 9mins left only for a sickening last minute equaliser by Andreas Thom). 1995/96 - Dons 2-3 Tic (All goals in first half. Boyd OG quickly followed by Jess. Then Collins(2) and Thom scored with the third for me being the start of the demise of Snelders) 1990/91 - Tic 0-3 Dons (0-0 at half time then Mason, Connor, & Ghillhaus came along) 1981/82 - Dons 1-3 Tic (Strachan opened scoring then Tommy Burns and Frank Mcgarvey (2) turned it round)

Leon Mike, Lubomir Blaha. I will disagree on Mackie though (presuming thats who you are calling Dazzler)

So for the optomists out there its either Dublin or Athens next may for the final

Julian Sands -65 Still havent managed to watch the film 'warlock' after it creeped me out back when my sister rented the video in the early 90s.

No help now but should a similar situation arise in the future megabus now do buses between Glasgow and Edinburgh through the night - 1am, 2am, 3am etc.

Suggestion game will get shifted to St Mirren park tomorrow if it cant get played tonight

I used 'yourparkingspace.co.uk' when I went to see Preston vs Wigan. Probably not an issue for a pre season friendly but for £6 I got to park on someones drive, 10mins walk from the stadium for the entire afternoon. There were also various carparks taking cash in hand payments but people were stuck in the jam at the end of the game whereas my space was clear of all that

Stockley & Pawlett at Rugby Park in 2017 springs to mind

Armenia strikers with 4 cracking goals. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo9KsdV_2_o&pp=ygUNd2FsZXMgYXJtZW5pYQ%3D%3D
