Dundee v Aberdeen

[Joe Soap]

Looks like our allocation has been sold out. Good effort. Anybody know if we are getting more tickets?

[Ajjadeen]

Have we sold that little section to the right in the main stand?

We seem to have sold out behind the goal but the main stand sections at the Aberdeen end don't seem to be on sale. Yet?!

[Panda]

Tickets in the main stand now on sale.

If we win tonight, make this the official match thread and lose this one, there will be mutiny on here as Swaddon didn't start it 

[Ajjadeen]

Big game this. Win puts us right into the mix. Dundee are a curious animal. Hard to know what we’ll face. We need to show the attacking intent we did tonight without dropping our pants at the back. Is it too much to ask to have both defensive solidity and attacking flair?

Nice to see this one selling well. As Ajja says, just hope we somehow find that balance between attacking and defensively sound football. They’re a bit hard to predict at the moment, but there isn’t a reason why we shouldn’t get a result if we play any sort of logical system and line up. I know some feel mitov is getting undue stick, but he really needs to cut this flapping out. Hes been like this all season and it has cost us.

Whether fans blame him or not my feeling was when seeing him at ft on wed that I think he defo blames himself.    What's most frustrating for me is I thought he looked far more like himself against Livi.  If he has a poor game against Dundee then you could argue he should probably be dropped for a few games as his confidence will be shot.

Definitely not calling for him to be dropped as Suman is not the answer. Just want him to pick his own game up again.

I thought Suman looked decent when saw him play for Cove last season but only saw him once for us this season which was in KDM game against Spartans where he made mistakes to give Spartans their first two goals. Don’t think Mitov is needing dropped yet anyway but from his time at Cove think Suman would be a good enough back up.

You can be sure that Dundee will be shelling his 6 yard box constantly to put him under the pump. That ugly little bastard Murray will be all over him.

Impossible to tell how this goes, and mitov symbolizes the team. Could be good could be piss poor. Results have been good for the most part recently, but I think we’ve been fortunate. At the same time I still think we can click and play well.

2-1 us, karlsson and lazetic

Simon? I’m confused as he’s 6ft?

Would have taken him at one point. Cheap punt better than Ambrose. Was also a spell there that he should have been given a shot for Scotland. He was no worse than anyone else and actually scoring goals regularly. I always admire his work rate.

This will be a controversial take, deep breath - pretty sure there’s an element of the guy getting looked down in part because of gingerism. Not all but I think it plays a part.

i mean look at this post  - “ugly little bastard”. Nae need.

That’s a fair challenge. No need for a personal insult for sure. Rash comments that are definitely born from the frustration of how he plays and the problems he causes us. Size is a relative concept, me being a tall ugly bastard.

Gingerism - That's a new one on me.

He's nae quite up with Davie Dodds in levels of ugliness and he's a pain in the arse on the pitch, so I would take it as a compliment if I were him. 

I wouldn't have minded him here. Could we find better, probably if we looked hard enough, but he would probably have worked in Thelins one up front role.

I was actually quite impressed with Dundee when they played us up here in September. Thought they tried to pass the ball about and play a bit of football, but just lacked the quality and experience and we were able to exploit it. Thought the scoreline flattered us a bit that day, but I wasn't complaining. 

I work with three Dundee supporters and they are actually quite sound. None of them are overly impressed with Pressley though, but I think they are more frustrated with their owners than the actual team and none of them wanted Tony D gone.

Could anyone imagine Simon Murray's athletic body, beautiful hair, but with Stuart Armstrong's face? 

Tidy as fuck.

[Ajja]

The boy Congreve is a player. Is he on loan there?

This is the worst sentence ever to be written.
