AEK Athens vs Dandies

[manc_don]

Walk in the park this one…

AEK are second in the league and playing PAOK tomorrow, so hopefully they’ll be fairly battle weary after that and focussed on their next game against  Olimpiacos.

Confidence appears to be returning to us both in the players and the fan base, but it would still be a massive shock to get anything here. Not saying it’s not doable, but Greece is hostile at the best of times so a lot would need to go right for anything positive this week. 

Is there any news on knoesters or was that just a precaution? Hoping we don’t have to change too much.

many DTers heading along?

It's a free swing at a team that's better than us is how I'm looking at it.  I doubt they are better than shaktar though and we gave them a decent game at a times.

Wouldn't be surprised to see us prioritise the league games with Hibs and Kilmarnock, and rest a few against AEK. Like @tlg1903says it feels like more of a free hit rather than a game we're under pressure to get something from.

I'd suggest Karlsson, Shinnie, Armstrong and Devlin may all be on the bench. Milanovic, Palaversa, Clarkson, Dorrington all back in. Keskinen might even come in too for Aouchiche or at left wing back.

Do we start Lazetic while he's on a high (and he didn't play the full 90 v St Mirren) or save him for Hibs?

IN (souvenir anyone )

Tourist stuff and tavernas

Away End

1-1 (Lazetic)

Beers, banter, sair heid and a couple of flights home on Friday 

Inclined to agree @tlg1903, it is a free hit, and I have a feeling we might just surprise a few folk here.

I still certainly don’t think we’ve found form, but we’re improving and we have a competitive squad. I do think we play this game with the hibs game in mind.

whats the deal with gyamfi and Malloy?

Dorrington-Milne-kneuster

jensen-palaversa-clarkson-topi/molloy

polvara-milanovic

nisbet

while it’s rotation, I don’t think it’s necessarily weaker. 

1-1, polvara

Nevermind the game, there are bigger issues that need to be discussed.

Welcome to the board

Sounds like an Irish bar and been in my fair share of them over the years following Aberdeen. I'm more inclined now to head somewhere more traditional. Any Greek tavernas you could recommend ? Any pubs close to the ground that would be safe for Aberdeen fans pre match as thinking about heading out towards the ground early on.
