Aberdeen v Dundee (Premiership)

[OrlandoDon]

Not a bad game to play straight after the cup win. Despite them not being on form, they are only 4 behind us. Falkirk and Hibs have tough games so perhaps a chance to gain some ground.

Shinnie was immense tonight, will he be able to start, and will It be him an afeez in the middle assuming Geiger is suspended. Defense did pretty well, Milne and McIntyre will continue in the middle, frame is improving. 

expect topi from the start with Cameron, hoping to see lobban right mid but expect milanovic again. Despite our struggles, nisbet is playing well, expect another good game from him.

3-1 us, nisbet Cameron and topi.

Good chance Armstrong might be back (think Leven said injury wasn't too bad but Wednesday was just a bit too soon for him).

Would start him ahead of Milanovic. 

Other than that, same team as much as possible (dunno the situation with Shinnie/Geiger, hard to keep on top of suspensions these days). With five subs available I don't think you should make too many changes though unless necessary.

Does Geiger's red card means he misses just the cup games?  Won't Shinnie be suspended for the next couple of league games?

I honestly don’t know, I thought Milne had one more game but played tonight, don’t even know how many games Shinnie got, and what is geiger’s punishment? Pretty sure Geiger misses the next competitive game but no clue what else, and I clue for the other two.

If it’s deemed serious foul play or violent conduct then it’s automatic ban for next game irrespective of the competition then next game in the competition the that the card was recieved in. So I would think Geiger will miss the Dundee league game and then the Dunfermline Cup game and Shinnie will be suspended for Dundee league game 
 

As an aside trying to find the list of suspended players is a right pain in the arse these days. SFA used to publish a list weekly but guessing it must be something they put on the player registration system these days.

Looking forward to this. Feels like an age since I was last at Pittodrie.

Out for a meal and a few drinks afterwards.

3-0 the Dons. Nisbet, Cameron and Milanovic

We can’t take this one for granted. Dundee are much improved despite form. Yogane will cause problems for our right side and Congreve is a decent player down the other side. Frame was good last night so hopefully he can keep the latter under wraps. Dundee have attacking threat but are pretty flaky at the back so we need to be on the front foot and get at them early. Shame we won’t have the bite and energy of Geiger or Shinnie in the middle as that’s starting to look tighter already and contained a good Motherwell side twice in a week. 

[Blow.Up.Sheep]

Have no idea why but I think we will win this comfortably.

3-0 the good guys (Nisbet x3)

So who can confirm shinnie for Saturday? Missing him and Geiger, and possibly Armstrong if he’s not fit, certainly hurts us. And is Milne done with his suspension?
