England players being thick as pig shit shocker. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/07/englands-foden-and-greenwood-accused-of-breaking-covid-19-rules-by-inviting-girls-to-hotel-room

Guessing so. Czech Republic and Norway had 10% initially with no away fans. Think Czechs are now up to 5,000 and have some away fans. I would expect us to go with 10% in first instance as well.

Dave Cormack has said he is hopeful of getting go ahead on Monday to have 300 fans back for Killie game and 750 for Motherwell the week after. Apologies for the source. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dave-cormack-reveals-aberdeen-test-22635511 Assuming that if we get the nod that they will use the loyalty points system to determine the lucky 300 guinea pigs.......I mean fans.

Czech game back on for the moment. https://www.bbc.com/sport/amp/football/54036595?__twitter_impression=true Guessing that after watching the shite served up last night the Czech’s have realised that they could play their U18 side and still beat Scotland.

You would think so but not clear cut. From UEFA - If a national association is not in a position to field a team with the above-mentioned minimum number of players (i.e. 13 including at least one goalkeeper), the match will, if possible, be rescheduled at a date to be fixed by the Uefa administration, which shall also have the power to assign it to a venue which may be in a neutral country (within the territory of a Uefa member association) if deemed appropriate; in any event, the home team will remain responsible for the organisation of the match and all related costs. If the match cannot be rescheduled, the Uefa control, ethics and disciplinary body will take a decision on the matter. The national association that is responsible for the match not taking place or not being played in full will be declared to have forfeited the match unless both or none of the teams is/are responsible, meaning the match cannot be declared as forfeited. If the match cannot be declared as forfeited, the outcome of the match will be decided by drawing of lots (i.e. win 1-0, loss 0-1 or draw 0-0) carried out by the Uefa administration.

Game on Monday has been called off by Czechs. https://www.bbc.com/sport/amp/football/54036595?__twitter_impression=true Not sure if this means game awarded to us as not called off by UEFA.

Disappointing performance but one to be expected in the circumstances I suppose with a number of players not back playing yet. Formation looked like it was solely to get Robertson and Tierney on the field at the same time rather than being one to create chances for Dykes.

Not convinced that was a penalty but well taken by Christie.

Tierney seems to on the left of 3 with McTominay on the right. Robertson at left wing back......I think.

First of loan deals going out. https://www.afc.co.uk/2020/09/04/miko-returns-to-arbroath/ With his contract being up at the end of the season got to assume that he will be away next summer.

Glasgow getting new restrictions due to increase in cases. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-53989021

Some of Trumps statements over last few days are at a new level of bat shit crazy. Claiming that all the protestors are funded and controlled by people in the dark shadows is my current favourite although his soup ramble runs it close.

Malmo are currently top of Swedish league after 18 games. Even at home they will be difficult test. Honved are bottom of Hungarian league but only 2 games in. PSV (12/09) and Sporting (20/09) haven’t started yet but full expect both to be strong for us. Really is a shite draw.

McInnes said we have 7 players away with various international squads. Need them to all come back fit. As TC says above International break come at the wrong time for us as we were beginning to build momentum.

Yeah plastic pitch will be a potential issue but as long as it’s a better standard than Livingston’s carpet then should be fine.

No they must have changed camera positions. Last game at Easter Road they showed the flat balcony a half dozen times. Not once this time.

Don’t think it was ever confirmed. Vaguely remember one of the reports at the time we signed him say it was a significant 6 figure fee.

Bala and Viking both play on plastic pitches which would make an away tie a little more difficult. Bala haven’t started their season and Progres only played 1 league game so far. Viking are half way through their season and currently 10th 5 points off the relegation positions. Home tie again would be great but as long as we are professional should be putting all three of these teams away.

Shankland also out. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/sport/lawrence-shankland-out-of-scotland-squad-with-ankle-injury/ I thought McBurnie played well for Sheffield United after restart so bit disappointed he is out.

Big win. Not as good in second half as we were in the first as we went into game management mode but still had enough to see them off. Agree with Sky that McCrorie was MoM.

Better team and as Tup says should be 2-0 up at least. Hopefully stay on front foot in 2nd half.
