Goal was Taylors fault. We failed to capitalise on all our possession in the first half. Then only properly tried in the last 10.

Article in the National today:

From today's EE: Can't say I really remember much about him

Let's go with that

Hmmm, I know ED mentioned this to me earlier today, but listening now to the press conference on RedTV, there is a slight injury concern about someone, who he'd (DM) rather not say.

Ohhh breaking the trend of no-one sitting in the merkie there Reidzer I've never sat there before, is the view that bad?

Think I remember that interview. It's amazed me that he's never been more of a success, but that said, i've not exactly followed his career. You're right about Blackburn though, they will be fucked if they let him go.

Welcome aboard!

Ouch! The look on his face after he's done it

Unfortunately, I think you're right on this point. It's astonishing the way he's being treated in the press and presumably by some of the Labour Hierarchy. That said, Labour long since moved away from solely being a "workers" party, that all changed with the New Labour heralded under that prick. Whether lefty politics will be enough to get him to power, I don't know, but it's sure as hell refreshing to hear someone who is now going against the grain.

Amazed that they don't do that. Especially since we're more successful than we were a few years ago. Crazy how empty it is there in comparison to other areas of the ground. Folk with kids happier to pay a bit more for a better view? Edit: Good read on the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33734412

Can't say this has ever happened to me, but what a nightmare!

Just to put this into even more context, Roma have just agreed a fee of £14m for Edin Dzeko. I know who I'd rather spend £14m on. Quality player. Sad to see him leave England if i'm honest, always thought he'd be better suited at a club like Arsenal or even Man utd.

Excellent lunch time reading! Thanks for posting

Done. Good to see a few more have joined this season

Would you really drop Goodwillie though? Can't see that happening after he was rested on the weekend and his performances in the qualifiers thus far. I see Willo wants to see us all have a few more jars before the game to create a brilliant atmosphere. I'm sure we can oblige Also, this to me sums up DM and why I love him:

Will get round to setting up my team again tomorrow

How that was possible is beyond me! Love how the commentator just laughed at every infraction!

Welcome aboard! Can't argue with any of that, especially relating to our games with the dhims. but hey ho, 3 points and happy days!

Mental. Absolutely mental.

Massive game on thursday, a cheeky 1-0 win and we will see ourselves through to the play offs. Whether we can progress into the group stages is another thing, but the play offs are certainly achievable. Thanks to Tom and his stats, it got my hopes up and it would appear they don't travel well. However, they haven't had a game in-between our previous fixture so will have additional rest. Pittodrie will hopefully be full, already nearly 15,000 tickets have been sold, so plenty of glory hunters are going to be in attendance, myself included. Will be my first trip to Pittodrie in years! DM will have the team mentally prepared and the season has proved so far that this team knows how to dig deep. Can't see us really shifting formation from that of last week though it would be nice to see DG get a goal for his european efforts. In / out: In Pre matcher: wherever the globes contingent are meeting Match: Section Y Post matcher: Hopefully celebrating! Prediction: 2-0 dons, Hayes and DG.

Second round draw was made today, quelle surprise that a certain newco team has an easy ride...but it will be a newco derby Ross County FC v Ayr United Forfar Athletic Football Club v Heart of Midlothian F.C. Kilmarnock F.C. v Berwick Rangers FC Raith Rovers F.C. v Hamilton Academical F.C. Queen of the South Football Club v Greenock Morton F.C. Dunfermline Athletic FC v Dundee Football Club Partick Thistle Football Club v Falkirk Football Club East Fife F.C. v Motherwell FC Hibernian Football Club v Stranraer FC Airdrieonians F.C. v The Rangers FC St Mirren FC v Livingston Football Club A couple of decent ties in there, possible banana skin for county.

Haha I think he definitely meant to do what he did, whether he thought it would beat the keeper is another thing though. https://streamable.com/puok Pleasing to watch. Very pleasing, they are going to struggle this season and I think Stooge has hit the nail on the head in the other thread. Oddly enough I was thinking that Smith should go on loan. Not the finished article and didn't anything to set the heather alight today which is something I've thought of every time he plays. He makes some good runs and seems to have a decent touch, but just looks a bit lightweight.

Watching the game back now, he's finally got some confidence which he clearly lacked after he arrived. Great to see, keep it up!
