Aberdeen v FC Noah

[swaddon]

European fitba returns to the Cathedral of Football on Thursday 27th November at 8 pm when Aberdeen host Armenian side FC Noah in the UEFA Conference League.

Our guests are a fairly new club, formed in 2017 as FC Artsakh. They changed their name to FC Noah after the fella with the ark from the Bible in 2019. They won the Armenian double last season and have a respectable record in Europe in recent years.

They are not to be underestimated, but I still fancy a home win. 2-0 to Aberdeen.

Guess we will be without Karlsson again given his circumstances?

On a separate matter are the roadworks still active on A90 @ Brechin ?

[Blow.Up.Sheep]

These lads are no mugs, but do seem to be toiling a little bit in their league with only one win in their last 5 matches 

We will need to play better than we did yesterday that's for sure which I am sure we are capable of.

Going for 2-0 the good guys (Nisbet x2)

Ill see if arsed the morn,but I venture out less to midweek games.Word of warning though, to anyone who hasnt bought a ticket yet.Bought my ticket yesterday,about an hour and a half before k/o. Bad enough paying £29 to get a soaking on the Y,but because it was so close to kick off(this is a new one on me),the ticket price goes up,the closer to k/o time it gets.I ended up paying another bleedin £5.Almost told them to ram it....luckily for them it was Hearts,so I caved in,but....

[Jute]

As said previously I have already written off Europe in my head so would rather we rested key players for this and kept them for Sunday. Clearly not what Thelin will do. This is probably the easiest of the ties we have but they still look a decent side. Work means not able to make game so tv for me.

Hoping Swaddon can make it 2 from 2 in all honesty one of the few winnable games and I think we should be going into it with a bit of confidence. Credible draw last time out in Europe and a decent 3 points (not performance) at the weekend.

So what was the justification for the extra £5? Some sort of late fee?

Surge pricing?

Thats what the boy said,canna mind it being a thing last season. He was embarassed trying to explain it, 

[tlg1903]

sounds like a measure to try and get everyone to order tickets online.  

[RicoS321]

Sounds like a serious case of cuntism.

[tlg1903]

Noah are not on great form coming into this.  They haven't won since the end of October and lost 3 out of the last 4 though it should be noted their last fixture was a draw against 2nd place when they had gone down to ten men 20 minutes into the game.  Who the fuck knows what to expect but I suspect they will be no mugs and well drilled.  

[BigAl]

Any update anywhere on the Karlsson situation yet and likelihood of him being available tomorrow evening ?

[tlg1903]

Rumour I heard was his grandad died but no Idea if he will be back

I don't know if the rumours are true, but it was suggested that the club was lining up  a swap deal involving Ambrose plus cash for Karlsson's grandfather, which is why they encouraged him to return to Sweden and miss the weekend's game.

I heard it was “Weekend at Yengi’s”.

Well, if Willem van der Ark, still played for us and scored the winner against them tomorrow. The headline could have been 'Noah Sunk by Arc'.

I'll get my coat.
