So anyone making the trip across?  Absolutely gutted not to be going but costs were crazy.  Enjoy if anyone is going across, you'll have a cracking time!  Hopefully you'll bump into the Red Army of Velez Mostar too, they hate fascist Croats 

 

 

 

Obviously Arnason isn't eligible for this game but hopefully another week of the team playing together in training will have them a bit more up to speed.  You could tell it was our first game last week but we really need to have our wits about us.  We should have enough to beat them but our defence really needs to sort itself out.

 

In/Out: Out

Pre-match: Work

Match: Home, watching RedTV?

post match: hopefully toasting victory and looking for flights to ABZ.

Prediction: 2-1 Dons, Tansey and Shinnie

"Are you watching Ryan Jack"  :rofl:

10 men went to mow......

OOFT! McLean off the post!

McLean hits the post

team starting to click maybe

The Houpmin(Hopeman) flag   

 

Full house next week you'd think,should be good

Christie has been immense.  And we've still to put Arnason in the team.

Looks like they are finding a bit of form mate!

That'll do pig, that'll do.

Brilliant! Happy as a suckling lamb!

 

Didnt see it coming,well done loons 

Is Ryan Christie wearing a sports bra?

Feck your heat and humidity too, we were the ones looking the sharpest by the end by a long chalk

He can wear frilly knickers and a miniskirt 24/7 for all i care as long as he keeps performing like that

Very proud of the team. Great 2nd half performance, lots of chances, lots of good finishing.

 

Siroki was not up to much but they were spoiling stuff.

 

Need to step up now for Apollon - they will be better but play like that and we can go through to Play off.

 

Impressed by Christie, sorry, by far the best player we have. Technically super, passing, movement.

 

 

Looked a much better team when Stockley went off so we were forced to keep the ball on the deck and stretch them with pace.

 

 

Just a wee wobble before the hour mark, I thought we were going to run out of steam.

Found a second wind from somewhere though, great result.

 

Two great passes from Christie for the goals probably shades him man of the match from Logan.

Right lads, off to my snooze wagon! Have a great night!

Stand Free!

The ref waking up to their thuggery and handing out 3 yellows made a massive difference, they were suddenly a lot more shy about battering our players off the park. 

 

They tried to revert to the falling over that had worked so well for them at Pitoddrie, but just got another yellow for that too.

Agreed. Stockley isn't the answer to anything, and the more we keep trying him, the less effective it becomes. It was far too easy for them for long spells. Maynard didn't do much when he came on, but you're right, he stretched them and made it difficult for them at the back.

 

Anyway, fantastic result. Very much deserved. It was basically like playing Hearts. Kicky and shite.

Sometimes it's fucking magic being a dandy 

Im off to have a wee peek at sevco media.....they'll be beelin' and demanding they sign up McLean, Logan, Joe and Shinnie.....

 

Stand free loons!

These are the European nights Ryan Jack left Pittodrie to enjoy....

Stockley played his role tonight. Team game - all 13 played a role.

 

What is clear is 1-1 at home 1st leg is sometimes better than 1-0 win. The home team tonight Siroki wanted to hold out for 0-0 but couldn't.

 

I'd take a 0-0 or a 1-1 home v Apollon next week easy.  We have players to unlock defences as I presume it will be hotter than it was in Bosnia in Cyprus.

30 degrees is fuck all if you're fit.

 

Pish excuse even if you're used to playing in Scotland.

 

It'll be humid and hot so get some water down ya.

 

 

Rooney I'd drop.he doesn't merit a starting place on current form when we have other choices.

 

Bring him on at 70 minutes.

 

I think Deek and Doc will have got the lads in a decent shape and I'll say 2-0 us.

 

Like I said, I didn't see anything too much to worry about from them.

 

Decent team but we are better.

 

Like i said...
