There has to be some realism. They're unbeaten at home and in fact haven't even conceded a league goal at home. They have conceded a total of 3 league goals in 14 league games while scoring 37 to give them a GD of 34.

We have scored 19 goals while conceding 11 in 12 games for a GD of 8.  

They typically have more value sitting on the bench than the entire Aberdeen squad would be valued at. Realistically taking anything from this game will be mightily impressive.

Well if you deem my version of reality to be unrealistic it would be interesting for the sake of clarity and conversation to hear your own version. None of the stats I used can be disputed, they're absolute fact.

Its the top bit I dont understand. Why does there have to be some realism? It sounds like you think Aberdeen should accept defeat before the game has started. I don't think I see the benefit in that.

If we were full strength I would be quite confident but I think we might be toothless with our injury list.  We will miss hayes, mccrorie, mcgeoch and watkins. McGinn maybe not so much.

I think we can still get something, but I can see us flailing about, expending lots of effort and getting no where.  I can already hear McInnes sucking air in through his teeth, in the post match interview.

Who have the SFA assigned as ref? One of King William of Orange, John Knox or the Rev Ian Paisley, I presume, as part of their efforts to ramp down the obviously hunnery in refereeing?

Nick Walsh.... He's actually alright if I recall correctly.

He's refereed us twice this year. Hibs away and Hamilton at home.

He's also officiated SevCo twice, Livingstone both home and away

 

But it's Ross on the line I'd be expecting to see some dubious offsides called

Watching it in the house. Carnage 

1-1

[BitWait]

Watching it at work in my lunch break. 0-1 Goldson og.

No one and certainly not me is automatically accepting defeat, the realism comes into it at the end of my post not the beginning. I said "taking anything from this game will be mightily impressive", and that's true.

I know we all like to pretend they're not that good and I'm guilty of partaking in that from time to time as well. But the reality is in Scottish terms they're currently formidable. They went to the home patch of their other half who have been sweeping up all trophies for years and judging from reports comfortably beat them.

They're the highest scoring team in the league with the best defensive record. They're going toe to toe away from home with Euro giants like Benfica and coming away from it with a result. All indicators that they're currently a very high hurdle to clear.

Like all football fans everywhere everyone can hope for the best but in this situation and especially so with a weakened squad realistically expect the worst can also happen.

The Dons have one Covid positive test from yesterday.
 

One of the Scotland u21 lads.

 

Edit. Interestingly I'm remembering that Ross McCrorie already had covid and recovered from it. One for the experts to say if that rules him out or not.

It better not be Ferguson or it's going to be another 8-0 on Sunday

Hopefully mclennan as missing ferguson/mccrorie for the next 2 weeks would be shite. 

[The Cockney Don]

Ross McCrorie's brother Robby confirmed along with one of ours.

Ferguson or McLennan it could well be.

McCrorie would only miss the Hamilton away game?

We are jinxed when it comes to playing these cunts.

We always seem to have big numbers unavailable when we play them.

If it’s Lewis Ferguson the only midfielder we have available is Ojo & we all know how shite he is.

3-0 the scum

It would be no shock if the brothers were sharing a room so hopefully it is Ross seeing as he misses out anyway.

Aye that would be best outcome.

 

 

[The Cockney Don]

It's the way the Daily Retard posted the news on it that made me think it's not McCrorie.

They said the player is now out of the ipox game, when he was going to miss it anyway.

[aberdeen1970]

Fucks sake. Ferguson would be a disaster. 

 

[aberdeen1970]

Would be Ojo and Leigh in midfield!!

Did we not play at the Bastard garden last year or the year before with a similarly shite midfield of Vyner & Leigh ... & lose 5-0?

Vyner and Leigh played a couple of games together but I can't remember which games now. I recall them doing OK the first game but then being massively exposed in midfield thereafter

They was both in defence for the 0-5.

Midfield was : Campbell - Ferguson - McLennan

They played well in a 3-0 win at Fir Park. 
I’m sure we went to the Bastard garden in similar circumstances - ie no midfield.

Could be messy

We had 3 in the squad. Is the reported 1 we have one of the 11 isolating??

[redstrummer]

would hope to get a statement from the club , we could be very unfortunate here if all 3 players have to isolate 

[Tord31]

It looks like the u21 squad will all self isolate.

13 knocked out by track trace so far

[aberdeen1970]

Going to be some team over the next couple of weeks if we don't have Hayes, McGeouch, Ferguson, McCrorie, McLennan, McGinn, Watkins or Campbell. 

Hernandez might even get on the bench.

All of a sudden or best and biggest squad for some time decimated !!

[Jackp]

I think it is Ferguson and that’s why the club haven’t made a statement yet, don’t want to let rangers know we are going to be without him untill the team sheets are out tomorrow.

Totally fucked. 

Hopefully there's some talent in the reserves ready to step up who can play midfield as we'll be decimated in that area.
