20 minute bike ride, lazy Fife cunts. The issue here seems to be a public transport one rather than a kick off time one though. The Sunday service at halbeath is reasonable, it's the fact that they've put a park and ride miles away with no joined up bus. It really shouldn't be beyond the wit of Dunfermline to engage with the local bus company and get a bus to the park and ride arranged if needed. However, I expect that most will be travelling by car or supporters bus.

Aye, he was very good like.

Flixbus has a couple that would get you there in time Edit: from halbeath, but I'm guessing that isn't insurmountable

It wasn't entirely correct, I said "easy" coast, instead of East. Easy coast depends on the driver.

It might actually be okay. I reckon public transport from Dunfermline to Aberdeen would be a bit of a dick about anyway, but you can get a bus around 8ish that takes less than three hours. Otherwise a two hour drive. It's easy coast, so it's not an insurmountable time. Nae like Hampden or somewhere that is 3+ hours and often worse on the way back.

50% of those didn't play against Elgin.

It doesn't really matter. If we just introduce him at the unveiling as "our new striker, not Peter Ambrose" then he'll immediately get everyone's backing.

With three goals disallowed, it seems like there's been some interference going on in Celtic's meeting with Young Boys. Not for the first time of course.

I actually thought Nisbet looked his most useful when Gueye was buzzing about and getting flick ons earlier in the season, so maybe that'll offer something. Nisbet is a good finisher, maybe another player there will create the space required to get the shots away. Otherwise, Keskinen is a decent shout. I'd fancy him most of the time to keep his head, despite his miss against hearts.

What's the point in even having a window, if we're not giving the fans a signing or a hint of a signing every single hour?

Dunfermline. Will take that Edit: at home Edit: our home

Aye, you're right, I forgot about the lad on the line. Agreed, he likely shouldn't have given it.

Think he was in line with the last defender, so maybe five yards out, but could be wrong.

Aye, definitely deserves a thread in this forum. A frustrating manager, but I liked him. Some great times with him in charge, and his record stands up very well as Dons boss.

I'd say that angle actually shows it wasn't in at that point. There's no way that whole ball is over the line. That angle biases the attacking team, if you were to imagine the image rotated around the axis of the line where it meets the ball, you'd most likely see that a good portion of the ball is covering the line (even though there is a sliver of green between line and ball in the image). That said, that particular still frame could be the one taken after the keeper has pushed it back the way a little bit, we don't know. What's funny is that the guys on Red TV were sure it was in because they take the reaction of the players into account. Because Nisbet was strongly claiming immediately suggested that it was a goal. On sportscene, later, the pundits were sure it wasn't a goal because they take the reaction of the players into account. Because the fullback was strongly claiming, it suggested that it wasn't in. Neither weighed up the reaction of the player who didn't agree with their opinion. As you say, sympathise with the officials here. Luckily those types of call are rare. I think I'd probably have sided with Elgin in this case, but the linesman has to go with the view he has got. If VAR had been in play, we'd have been waiting 8 minutes, and they'd have just guessed in the end.

Nonsense. We're back.

Subs flowing now. Not sure I'd have Shinnie and Clarkson sitting when we're only one up, but never mind.

We've been amazing against strong opposition. Tanking these lads. Fairly certain we'll win the cup from here.

Morris. Good goal, much better pressing. Morris playing well.

Somebody needs to tell the camera man that when there's only one camera, you don't do the close ups on managers and so on. Just stick to the one angle. It's fucking annoying when there's more than one camera, but it's just nauseous when the single camera is zooming in and out and moving at the same time.

Will be interesting to see how Tobers does on his wrong foot. He's looked very composed on the ball generally. If he can play there, that will solve a lot of our issues. Jensen getting a start is good too. Not sure I'd pick Morris on a tight, shitey pitch, but hopefully he can get back to some of kind of form.

Shunning the Hibs v Clydebank game? Don't blame you.

Aye, but he's not good enough to be freeloading in the Dons forum.

Not in the Aberdeen section though. Rules are rules. Made some pretty disgusting complimentary remarks about the Huns too.

Sounds like the Huns can no longer afford theirs.
