On Saturday, the Dons go to the shithole that is Tannadice to take on the club that everyone loves to hate. It kicks off at 3 pm.

I can't see us winning this one, so I fancy a 2-2 draw.

Be surprised if the game is on. Forecast looks very grim.

Probs not if it’s just rain. Utd pitch probably won’t be a shitshow for another few weeks at least

I was thinking that. It's only October. Must surely still have some grass on it. :) :) :)

Did we not suffer a late call off a couple of seasons ago? Something like 2pm?

Back around 1984, we were pinting ourselves up in the Snug before heading up to that midden. As we were about to leave the boozer around 2.30, we were told that the match was off due to waterlogging. It had been raining hale watter since early morning, but any thought of warning travelling fans of the risk of pistponement never entered their deformed deluded loser heids. On the way back to the car, *Richard Gough, was walking towards us and told us, “The match is off, lads”.

Fucking amateurs.

That was at Dens. Was still in the Trades when they called it off.

Not making this tomorrow as needing to work again so hoping rain will put this off. If it is on Lyons is out so yet another different starting line up. Hoping Nisbet and Mouloua start as front two. Think there are signs that could be a decent front pairing.

Oot

Work

Local game if any are on.

Couch

0-1 Nisbet

Weather for the midden looks better than here- seems to miss the 60mph gales that are going to be the big issue in Aberdeen in the main and although rain forecast, not as heavy either

Will be no consideration for travelling fans however despite weather warnings in place not to travel unnecessarily

If it does go ahead, stay safe fellow dandies that are going and just hope team follow last weeks win with another

How’s it looking today, likely to be on or off?

Should be on. The wind and rain kick in about 3pm so should make for an interesting spectacle.

Reckon we can request the game is played with a beach ball? 🙂

Might be more chance of OhLasagna scoring with a wind assisted hit

I’m just barreling on assuming SR virus chat was all just gamesmanship. Prob a few peripheral squad players had a bit a tummy upset. Gonna be grim weather wise but really need a result today.

I would take a draw right now 2bh but we are capable of a win. A loss we are right back to square 1.

Looks like a back 4 with no centre backs on the bench…

Wi that defence Dundee Utd to score looks like free money fae the bookies today then.

Half the squad out with a bug but Milne & Molloy are fit to play CH.

Somebody up there clearly hates us…

No Knoester is a big blow. A lot rides on Molloy stepping up today I think.

No clue what to expect with that. Not a good back 4 plus 4 central midfielders. Hoping it’s a 4-1-3-2 with afeez told to sit and protect central defense and a compact 3 ahead of him, width from the full backs and runs from the forwards, type of game the players need to step up and battle for. Don’t know if we have that.

Still hoping it’s 2-1, nisbet and mouloua

Jammy double deflection after a really solid start. Infuriating

Fuck sake ☹️ .... we were lookin' pretty good as well .... cunts.

If you shoot you might score. We go for fancy lay offs and extra passes rather than shoot. Always helps when you have Milne aid the opposition though.

Shame I’m not a betting man really… 🙄

We had three players in the box there (can't work out who, but someone dropped between the two centre halves) to mark one striker, plus the full backs, and Aremu went chasing the ball.

It left United with two players and all the time in the world to pick their spot. We basically handed them an invitation to score.

YASSSSSS!! 1-1 .... Obi 🙂

Obi accidentally knocked his layoff into the net - 1-1
