It's not doing me any good wallowing in the miserable couple of weeks we've had so I think I'll start looking forwards optimistically.

 

Who's going to be back fit?

 

Pawlett seems out for a fair while. Aluko and Hartly maybe? Velicka...?

 

Should Paton and Zander be dropped?

 

Zander I'd definately want dropped but with Vuja out I can't think of a fit back 4 without him or untested yoofs unfortunately. Paton actually looks a good player but since he hasn't played I think dropping him would make no real difference and would send the right message....but if zander isn't dropped then it would be total hypocrisy to drop Paton. Also AFC have said fuck all to indicate they think the players should be punished. Maybe we're not a club who can afford to have scruples. And wouldn't it be just like zander to turn in one of his rare good performances this weekend? As with everything AFC, I'm very ambivalent about that.

 

What kind of result are we looking at?

 

Hearts have looked very patchy and if we can't raise our game at home to these swine then I don't know how the club can expect to attract people to games for the rest of the year.

 

My early feeling is the lads willll be up for it and if we battle, will win.

 

My biggest worry is that the police will be confiscating cerry oots from the train back south. Half bottle of vodka in my pants may be the future 

According to papers today Kyle is complaining Znader tried to get him sent off by falling over and crying like a girl.

 

Kyle (or hertz players generally for that matter) would never do that would they? Paragons of fair play, arent they?

Aberdeen goalkeeper Mark Howard will return to training today despite temporarily losing the sight in one of his eyes after picking up a knock in Saturday's defeat by Hearts. (Daily Express)

 

 

doesn't mention whether our keeper was temporarily blind when the physio/management sent him out for the second half.

Lucky I was already in the drive when I heard that.

 

Might have crashed otherwise.

 

 

Nae again!
