One more European adventure awaits the Dons in Prague, Czechia. The game kicks off at 8 pm Scotland time on Thursday 18th December at the Epet Arena, named by an expat Geordie.

Sparta Prague are currently second in the Czech First League behind their city rivals Slavia Prague. They qualified for the Conference League by finishing fourth last season and negotiating three rounds before making the league phase. They are sixth in the Conference League table.

I don't fancy this game at all. A 0-3 defeat beckons for us, but it won't matter. As long as we don't make an arse of ourselves like we did in Greece.

Surprised to say I am fucked,forty five year after Anfield 5th November 1980

Be interesting to see the midfield set up. Is it the normal two in the middle and front three - and if so, who is stepping into the front three?

Or, is it a three-man midfield with Karlsson and Nisbet as a front two? I'd like that, and tonight would be the time to experiment with it.

 

Not quite the influx of change I expected. Expected aouchiche and karlsson rested too, I’ll give them an hour!

In the ground been on the piss since 11am Czechia time 

Bring it on

Anyone else in here 🤔

 

Sounds like you are having a ball Al, wish I was there.  I fear we'll get beat but you never know

No pictures for 20 minutes from Al. Has he passed out? 

Fuckin Mitov AGAIN. 😡

Decent start undone by yet another shambolic self destruct.

Honest to god…

Shite goal to lose. Poor from Mitov, but I think Knoester needs to read that better when Shinnie sends the player inside.

2-0. This is going to get ugly. 

Reckon Clarkson will be off soon. Zero point in playing him in that position.

The amount of shitey goals we’ve conceded under Thelin is unbelievable. 

That, of course is what an inverted winger is supposed to do.

Naturally, ours don’t…

Bilalovic would scored three by now, but we're saving him for the league.

Good, anyone else he wants to start on Sunday should be pulled off (oooer) now too.

Damage limitation mode (theyve pretty much given up now anyway), hopefully no injuries and get this pointless european farce over and done with…

We're becoming very predictable. Name the wrong line-up, fix it at half-time. 

Clarkson being hung out to dry in an unfamiliar position. Karlsson not suited for any game where we have to be disciplined. Outnumbered in midfield.

Worryingly, Sparta look a better side than AEK Athens.

Beer in the ground is pretty decent

Certainly better than the shite you guys that didn't travel are drinking 😂

I know a few folk get a piss up abroad but honestly I’d sooner be in the league cup group stage.

 

I get tonight is a tough watch, but overall Europe has been good for us. Four games where we have played relatively well in, we've banked £6m, and by qualifying we've attracted a few players.

But, for those who don't enjoy it, be encouraged that if we do qualify next season, it'll likely all be done and dusted by the end of August.

What the fuck are our defence doing. All three goals have come from us gifting them the ball 20-25 yards out. Unbelievable

I’m looking forward to the bit when managers realise that playing out from the back is a sack of shit 

 

😂

Sums it up - what a joke…
