Was gonna post this in the Motherwell match thread, but seems apt to just start this one early.

Was just saying to someone on my way home from work there that the Dunfermline tie being away is the best thing that can happen to us.

If it had been at home, of course it increases our chances of winning, but it's another 9,000 home crowd, a win expected, and even if we get through it's not going to give our season a massive lift. The same way it didn't when we beat Raith Rovers in the last round. Sometimes even reaching Hampden gets a muted response.

But away from home, Saturday night, 2000-3000 travelling fans - maybe even more - the away end buzzing. One of those nights that - if we win - you get that connection between the fans and the players that we've seldom had this season. The new signings get to see just how good our away support can be if they deliver good performances.

A "proper cup tie" if you like, a chance to make Neil Lennon greet. It's something to look forward to which we really, really needed to keep the enthusiasm going for this season.

Also, despite Hearts, Hibs and Motherwell having significantly better league seasons than us, the odds on us winning a trophy are a lot shorter than it is for them, which is really quite something. 

Tickets: Stand behind the goal holds 3,000. When Hibs sold it out they were given an extra 1,000 in the main stand and in the stand opposite, turning the ground almost into a 50/50 split. Saturday night will put a few off but we'll still take very decent numbers I'm sure.

Nothing agaist Molloy but why take Frame off?

Because he hasn't got a clue.

Despite the score how good is football without that bloody VAR. 

The way it should be.

But more likely to put in a decent cross tjan Molloy

Much better but means nothing without a goal. Get one and it gets interesting for sure.

Think we got a boost with milanovic going off.

I'll be left with even more egg on my face. I might be better off if we don't turn it around.

I meant Leven is clueless. Frame is a better attacking option than Molloy.

Season over then. Only relegation to play for. 

Where do we go now. Absolute humiliation.

Where do we go now. Absolute humiliation.

Where do we go now. Absolute humiliation.

Pathetic absolutely  pathetic

Where do we go now. Absolute humiliation.

Fuck off Milne.

Abysmal

This rivals Darvel.

If Leven isn't sacked tonight the club is rotten to the core.

Christ I've not seen an Aberdeen side this inept at the back since Ebbe's first 6 months

And at least Ebbe was a character. 

If Killie string some results together we’re going down.

Maybe Cormack just isn’t praying hard enough?

Make Aberdeen Great Again.

A fine goal and one that is going to take some amount of hard work. 

Genuine question, is this the worst Aberdeen team in living memory? I can't think of a worse team that would struggle against these charlatans.

I don't think we've ever been this bad. Ever.

We are going out why is Leven doing nothing?

We've had worse seasons, but as for a squad of players.

We've spent good money on this lot too.
