StandFree1982 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd happily win the next 3 cup games on penalties with us playing mince. Cup games are all about winning which is why I wasn't too bothered about the Alloa game. Results > performance in the cup Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Quite nervous. Massive game that the two teams can win. Really hope it's us that turn-up tonight and get through! COYR! Please, please, please! Link to comment
The Oxford Don Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 1900 Dons tickets sold! Really looking forward to this one, only my second game of the season. By God this afternoon is going to drag. Is it 5.30pm yet? Link to comment
Ron1903 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Pretty sure Motherwll will get a penalty tonightfollowing Hun mccalls comments about never getting one.Doesnt matter as Vernon will get a hat-trick anyway Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Pretty sure Motherwll will get a penalty tonightfollowing Hun mccalls comments about never getting one.Doesnt matter as Vernon will get a hat-trick anyway "But I am still waiting for a ruling from the SPFL because we don't get penalties as you know and we might just go to a toss a coin."But, because it is a cup game, rules might change and so we practised penalties today."We have had one penalty kick this season - in Russia. They play the rules that if it hits your hand it is a penalty, but unfortunately Bob McHugh missed it."But we have been practising them this morning and it might have made my mind up on who is on the bench because a few slotted them away nicely and a few blazed them over the bar."It is a bit tongue in cheek. Refereeing is a tough job, there is no doubt about that."But there has certainly been times this season when we merited penalty kicks and didn't get them." Holy shit! What a fkn fanny he is! He'll get slaughtered for saying this. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Aye, same here Stuart. Tynecastle being exhibit A. Link to comment
tup Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Probably a hun ref to ensure we go out. I think we will be lucky to win this one. Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Apparently John Beaton is the ref. Got 2 penalties from him the last time we were at Fir Park.... Link to comment
Henry Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 RYAN Jack would love to see skipper Russell Anderson finally get a taste of success with his beloved Aberdeen FC.Russell has served the Dons well during two spells at the club over the last 17 years.But the Scotland international has still to win any trophies – the Dons lost both of the finals Russell played in back in season 1999-2000. As he prepared for tonight’s Scottish League Cup quarter-final clash with Motherwell at Fir Park, Ryan admitted that’s something he would love to put right before his captain decides to call it a day.Ryan said: “It would be great to see Russell lift a cup as a reward for all the commitment he has shown to Aberdeen over the years.” Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 hmm hints at Anderson retiring at the end of the season. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Anderson would become a proper AFC legend if he could end his playing career by lifting a trophy. Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The image of Russell going up to collect a national trophy against a backdrop of 20,000 Dandies is a glorious thought. Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The image of Russell going up to collect a national trophy against a backdrop of 20,000 Dandies is a glorious thought.And the subsequent open top bus on Union Street, of course. Link to comment

Big Stall Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Probably a hun ref to ensure we go out. I think we will be lucky to win this one. Are you coming down for this game tup? Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I hope this heavy rain doesnt affect the game or people who are travelling for it. I am on East Coast Just now and its absolutely bucketing here, I got a call from Glasgow which said it had been similar in the West - constant for several hours, so far. Anyone driving there tonight (like me!) be warned that conditions are likely to be dodgy. I wonder what the pitch will be like. Link to comment
tup Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 No chance of me venturing to a weegie shithole like Motherwell Big Stall. If we get to the final we will have much more than 20,000 in attendance Karl. Link to comment

Its unfortunate that how bad it was sticks in peoples minds. Probably not helped by piss poor journalism. Link to comment
Geoff_Tipps Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 So is the game streaming tonight, just finished work and unable to make the journey now? Link to comment
83dons Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just what I was wandering seeing as I am stuck here in Aberdeen! Anyone had a look or do we have to watch an Edinburgh derby...? Link to comment

Couldn't make it down so had a punt on bet365 just in case it was streaming there, but doesn't look like it. Edinburgh Derby and live text looks like the best you/we'll get. Link to comment
tup Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I agree that Zola deserves to start ahead of Vernon. Vernon can come on for the last 20 minutes, ebbe can wank himself into a frenzy then. Link to comment
