Jute

And in before they play us. Cunts.

He did well to stick with it. Nice assist from Nisbet. Dundee look shit and assume the tramp in their dugout will be away soon if they have any chance to avoid drop. 3-0

From early going it’s a 3 at the back. Oh well.

Surely not as that would take away everything that Devlin brought to the game on Thursday.

Think that looks like 4 at the back with Jensen and Karlsson as width in midfield but not sure. Would really have liked 2 up front against Dundee.

Goals again for Marshall (equaliser against Thistle for Arbroath) and Bavidage. Do we look to bring both back in January to bolster the squad. Think at a minimum we should be looking to extend Marshall’s contract. Radio praised his performance again yesterday and as I have said before think there is definitely a premier league player in there.

As much as Thursday was an improvement our opponents suited our style of play as they dominated possession. Not going to be the same today as it will be Dundee who will sit in and be happy not to have the ball. We need to find a way of creating space in Dundee back line. Hopefully Devlin will be able to start as he offers so much more than Jensen at right back. Not sure we need 3 centre back against Dundee so could we drop Dorrington and brining in Nisbet to play alongside Lazetic up front? According to my Dundee supporting brother if we can’t beat them then we should be worried as in his in-depth tactical analysis they are “fucking dug shite”. Game a few days to early for me to make so day on couch for me. oot couch couch couch 2-0 Karlsson and Nisbet

Suspect he is already out of our price range as attracting attention down south. Noticed Bruce Anderson was involved in both goals last night. He is one that I felt we let go too soon. Would it be worth bringing him back?

Hunbo’s sneaking late winner in the spoonburner derby.

Formartine got it back to 2-2 but young team won on penalties. 4-2.

Dons 2-0 up. Ambrose and Kajartansson with goals.

Bit surprised to see Kjartansson listed as thought there was an article in press that said he was out for a while?

Young side in Aberdeenshire final against Formartine at Inverurie tonight. Aberdeen: Vitols, Lobban (C), Ross, Carrol, Masson, Teasdale, To, Cummings, Frame, Kjartansson, Ambrose. Subs: Simpson (GK), Stephen, Searle, Green, McLean, McDonnell, Duncan

Just seen it (okay may have seen it last night and the morphine fog took it) and it’s a farcical decision. The exact thing we were told would be eliminated by the introduction of VAR. VAR brings nothing to game and it is ruining attending live matches. It needs punting. I would rather go to a lower league game without VAR these days.

Huns lost as well.

Yes and now we have realised the Bear is fucking fast and is going to catch us.

Lad seems to be made of glass. Bit of a draw back for centre back. Think we need to move on from him in January.

Maybe.

Cracking game between Barcelona v PSG. Currently 1-1 with both teams playing great football. Barcola should have put PSG ahead just there.

See I vaguely remember discussing if that was reason on Saturday but I see there’s no mention of it in the match thread so it may have been with the pink elephant I watched the game with instead.

Just occurred to my drug addled mind is Jensen suspended for this one?

This was going to be a difficult game if we were playing well so expecting this to be a watching from behind the couch type of night. Perversely I do think Shaktar are the type of team that the Dons are set up to play against. I expect Shaktar to have a lot of the ball and be on the front foot which should leave the space for the quick transitions that Thelin goes on about. However with our best goal scorer, Nisbet, not really fitting the system, Lazetic looking like he has technical ability to play system but not seen anything that suggests he is a striker and seen nothing from Yengi that suggests he is a footballer I can’t see the system working. Add into that that we seem to have two full backs in Jensen and Gyamfi who cannot defend and a defensive central midfield who are slow at best this could get ugly quickly. Thankfully my post op drugs will last until end of the week so I won’t remember posting this or the game. Oot Couch Couch Bed 1-3 Lazetic proving he is a goal scorer with Dons strike. Anyway time for the next hit.

How the fuck are we in a situation where those are our 3 best goalkeepers.

Final game of 1st round saw University of Stirling beat Burntisland Shipyard 6-2.
