Good point, would make the bus up the road a bit of a challange! seem to remember the home tie against Hertha was 5pm KO?

 

Good news is that since its Bayern the tie will be worth even more than if we drew one of the other German teams, couple of million in the bank if the club sell it right!

but if its 5pm we won't need a bus as trains coming back would be OK I think ?

Awesome. I had a feeling that would be the tie. Its all set up for a great night at Pittodrie and a healthy pay day. Hope its not a 5pm kick off

???

Keep your hair on dude. BBC online ?

That'll be 19:45 

Spoken like a true Hibbee.

 

And an AMK tranny van is what masquerades as luxury in these ere parts pardner!!

 

We'll be a drinkin an a hollerin all the way too boy!! Ours is not a dry "bus".

'Dry' is in the eye of the beholder 

Big game hunters! 

You are just pissed that the Globes will be filling another 50 seater luxury coach from the civilised quarter of the central belt while you lot head up in you're fucking Beverly Hillbillies jalopy like a bunch of weegie tinks on a weekend trip to Butlins. When we go to Pittodrie, we go in style and in numbers.

I'm getting so pumped up for this game now. Can't wait to get on that bus up north in 5 and a half hours 

I'm going thermal big time tonight. Thick socks a must after frozen feet for the Loco game. Want a loan of a pair ? I might even be able to find a clean pair 

Hang on, I thought I heard that this morning.  Surely not?!

 

I also thought I heard Sneckie on five live this morning.

Dream thread 

We are defo on five live, heard it again this morning.  The nation will ride the rollercoaster with us  ......only thing is, they will be warm 

Heard last night on five live they will be covering the Dons game tonight rather the the Everton game as they are through. Has there ever been an Aberdeen commentary on five live before ?

Press conference today was Jimmy and Zander. Is it usually the captain who'd do it or just a different player each time? Just wondered if it was relevant that Seve wasn't doing it? Dropped for tomorrow?

Still always fancy Seve in the side despite his form but if its the only way Touzani gets a game in holding midfield role then he has to sit it out. In my opinion, he has been a class act in the european set up and can't afford to be overlooked.

Fucking top idea Ajja! I'll have one or 2 on my person, purely medicinal and for the purposes of keeping warm of course!

Mizer had one for the Loco game and it felt goooooooooood 

Do you think I'd get a few tinnies into the Broadhill ? Can't be arsed trying to get served but will be hanging on a beer after the trip up. Might try a cheeky festive carryoot smuggle 

going by the temperature outside today a hip flask is a must for the game too 

Cos they havn't worked oot how to empty oot half a wee sprite bottle and fill it with vodka yet?!?!?

 

(...or maybe they're all on antibiotics for their STDs)

That has been the problem. Too much doing that with 2litre 'wee' bottles. Its all Chimps fault.

DOnt start yer moanin, if you were there on Saturday you could have had input into the decision 

Who was moaning ? I'm perfectly at ease with a dry bus. However, I'm not sure the driver is going to be happy with me kicking your cunt in on the bus 

I've yet to get excited about this game for some reason.

Dry bus per chance ?

But they are expecting to be without Gronkjaer and Hangeland so they are missing two top players. Just need to snap Allback in the first 5 and we are sorted

Severin, severin, speak so slightly

Severin, down on your bended knee

Taste the whip, in love not given lightly

Taste the whip, now plead for me

Get the fucking job done Seve for fuck sake, time to be a hero 

He's not a patch on the player he was.

just because they know they won't win that day

They will also be guaranteed the full support of the Gretna fans.  Who wants to watch another 1-1 draw anyway.

When do the BIG FUCKING MARKER PENS go on sale ?

Maybe they all still have wee sore tummys after Egypt 

Exactly - hope we haven't seen too much of them so dont set up just to stop them.  Go out 4-4-2 and let players express and we have every chance.  And if we lose doing that then there will be not many complaints from most!!

Its all I ask. Have a right good go at it. If we lose out to a better side then we will have learned something.

One thing that just awes me about this game every time i see it is just the attacking nature of the Dons. Every move is on the attack. In the leadup to McGhee's goal, I counted EIGHT Aberdeen players all standing on the verge of offside! None of this patient buildup shit that we see today. Fergie's Dons never ever gave the opposition a moment to catch their breath.

There is a point where Miller receives the ball on about his own 30-40 yard line. Before he has even controlled the ball he is storming through the centre circle like a man possessed. Ends up in the left edge of the box trying to put in a cross ball. Brilliant stuff. You sensed that failing to win that tie was not an option, if we could see that mentality on Thursday, I would settle for that, regardless of the result.

Don't sad face it,Sneckie!! It'll be a cracking achievement. I can't wait for that game. Different times, ye know? 

by fuck, what a team we were, but yeah, we beat Copenhagen, they'll go down in the history books and good on them. No one's saying they're that standard (cos let's face it, they're far from it) but they have also achieved something so good on them (if they do it !) COME ON YE REDS!!! Get yer wee face smiling!! This is a fucking huge match on Thursday. Enjoy it.

Although there is obviously no denying the difference in skill from that squad to this I don't think the gulf is as big as people suggest. The real difference is in attitude. That Aberdeen side had a good number of superb players but it also had some journeymen like Dougie Bell. They were world beaters because their collective and singular attitudes were exemplary. The key thing that Ferguson did for Aberdeen was to not only make them all believe they could do anything but that they had the right to expect it. He would never tolerate anyone getting outside of their ego but was a genuis at maximising the individuals contribution to a team effort. Huge difference from what we see nowadays.

I definately think we should play De Vissher today - would make a big difference up front with Lee Miller

Not fit until Thursday though.
