Welcome back to Pittodrie Hartley, and with an Alloa side that have had a great start to the season

 

Haven't done one of these in a while, but seeing as it is a side we don't come up against very often...

 

Only played them 13 times in our history, with three coming since the turn of the millenium.  Each of those 3 games was memorable for different reasons.

2001 - an easy win that featured a Stavrum penalty so bad it left the ground

2009 - a far from easy win in atrocious conditions, I couldn't have been wetter if I had jumped in the Dee.  Celebrated Aluko's winner watching Sky Sports News in a nearby pub having left at half time

2010 -Routine win marred by an injury to Fyvie variously blamed on his choice of footwear or the synthetic pitch

 

We've never lost at home to them, and indeed only ever lost once, with Alloa only managing one goal at Pittodrie in 5 games.

Alloa's sole win came in the new Aberdeen's first ever season in a 1st round cup match.

109 years since they last beat the dons?

 

Fate, Karma, Murphy, Loki etc have all suddenly taken an interest

109 years since they last beat the dons?

 

Fate, Karma, Murphy, Loki etc have all suddenly taken an interest

 

Almost as long as since the Leith mob last won the Scottish Cup

That 2009 game was enough to put me off ever going back so there was no chance of me going to the 2010 game.

Clouldnt care about this after Saturday

Got hospitality tickets through my work, gonna get as tanked up as possible in the hour before kickoff to cope with the inevitable penalty kick defeat

Not in.

Should we really be playing Anderson in this one? I'd have had him on the bench and saved him for what should be a harder game against Saints.

Worryingly we don't sound like scoring from open play 

Robson, and now Flood.......................so it continues...............

Robson, and now Flood.......................so it continues...............

 

Assume Low coming on for Flood.

And now Reynolds Hayes (bloody red TV commentary)...............

 

Our squad is fucked after 4 and a bit games FFS!

Hayes off as well now.

  These all injured already !  :hammer: where is the game on the radio? cant see to find it

 

Hayes, not Reynolds, courtesy of shite RedTV

Vernon and Wylde on for Hayes and Robertson on. 3 at the back?

well at least we have kept a clean sheet....so far

Lot of shocks and potential shocks out there (hopefully not us)

 

Killie 0-1 Accies FT

Stranraer 3-2 County FT

shockingly bad crowd

A certain M Paton just scored to put QotS 2-1 St Mirren

Did anyone actually expect a big crowd for this?

Maybe more than that

SPL clubs should be forced to play away if that's all we can muster for these early rounds.

 

Raith v Hearts off to pens

Through thank fuck.
