Aye, it's pretty mental really.
Loved the bit in yesterday's commentary when they mentioned this time last year we were talking about the fact he only had one career goal at that point
Not wishing to tempt fate by starting a topic entitled 4th qualifying round BUT here is what we would be up against as the grouping have been confirmed:
GROUP 2
Seeded
1: Sparta Praha (CZE) / Trabzonspor (TUR)
2: Feyenoord (NED) / Dinamo Tbilisi (GEO)
3: AEK Larnaca (CYP) / Gent (BEL)
4: Luzern (SUI) / Espanyol (ESP)
Unseeded
5: Universitatea Craiova (ROU) / AEK Athens (GRE)
6: Rijeka (CRO) / Aberdeen (SCO)
7: CSKA Sofia (BUL) / Zorya Luhansk (UKR)
8: Norrköping (SWE) / Hapoel Beer-Sheva (ISR)
Expect much unsettling of Big Sam by the Weegie media linking him with moves away from Aberdeen prior to the closure of the transfer window.
Six goals in four European games, I guess is going to lead to speculation and they will just love throwing it our way.
Took a look at a Carlisle forum to see what they were saying about him and they seem to be under the impression that they have a large sell on clause and that his departure back south could be worth a not inconsiderable sum to them.
As an aside our scouting/recruitment of last few seasons has come in for a fair bit of criticism, but this is one that certainly seems to working.
Keep up the good work loon
Rules:
1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served!
2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally.
Have changed the rules slightly, well rule No:2 to make it a bit more interesting and no one switching with a couple of games left

Interesting in that as far as I can tell, their record away from home in Europe reads pretty well
P 10, W 5, D 3, L 2
In those ten games they have scored eight and conceded eight and no more than two in any one game, keeping four clean sheets.
Think referee called it right.
It was a penalty.
Hopefully wakens us up because this mob are nothing special and we should beat them over the two legs but simply can't afford to leave ourselves too much to do in the second leg
Leigh didn't even travel with the squad
Back four going to be Logan, Taylor, McKenna & Considine.
I assume we might get our first glimpse of Ojo in the middle of the park
Just watch him net fifteen plus for St Johnstone this season
Don't wish him any ill, simply a case of wrong player, wrong time for us and that isn't really his fault
My younger son is friendly with one of the Killie players and tells me that the Italian has almost gone out of his way not to endear himself to them.
Think this is shaping up like an experiment doomed to fail for them and thought that prior to last night which certainly won't have done him any favours with the support.
Anyone know the ins and outs of his contract situation in the States ?
Is it pie in the sky to think we might be able to get him on a permanent deal if he keeps impressing until his loan period is up ?
