Match Thread (Europa League) Cs Fola Esch V Aberdeen (1 - 0)

[Tommy]

Aberdeen at just over evens for -1 handicap. I'll throw some of my brexit winnings onto that.

13/10 @ Hills.

[the_shrimp]

I've just set off. Taking the train all the way there and back.

 

Shame for the goalkeeper - he was their stand out player last week.

[The Boofon]

What's the away crowd attendance number at the Hearts game?

[BWG]

Farts with an early goal.

 

 

Edit : make that two.

 

We haven't even scored any goals this week yet. Hearts pulling away from us again.

They're pulling ahead. Must be the North American $ they get from their tourist fans.

That's them through, 3 away goals already.

[tup]

We should use this death to our advantage, get them while they are down.

2-4 now.

 

Funny that they score four goals & Sammon hasn't got any.

Have you checked that with mini?

No Niall McGinn

Aberdeen have travelled to Luxembourg without Northern Ireland international Niall McGinn, who has been given a week off after his Euro 2016 exploits with Northern Ireland.

McGinn scored in the 3-1 Europa League first leg win over Fola Esch and Dons manager Derek McInnes must be fairly confident of their progress.

Correct decision IMHO.

[Bamber]

sure it will be - brave decision none the less.

 

Lose and people will question the wisdom of the decision for sure, win and it will be forgotten very quickly

Unless he gets injured and we run up the score (still to get his 'holidays').

 

McGinn getting his time off now makes the most sense because of our 2 goal lead and their terrible home record in Europe.

 

One away goal should do it (and we are getting scoring from a lot more players than we did 2 seasons ago).

 

Would you bet against Stockley (for example) to score tomorrow?

 

Us winning with McGinn 'rested' and ready for the second round would be my script.

 

We'll be fine.

[Bamber]

Celtic look like they are heading for Gibraltar (Lincoln imps 1-0 up winning on away goal) - what could possibly go wrong with that visit?

[Scotty_Toronto]

They could land at the wrong airport in a different country.

[Bamber]

Well I would advise away supporters not to get petrol in Gibraltar

 

 

Lincoln reds 2-0 up could it be 3

[V for Vendetta]

Looking forward to this one so much, love that early season feeling when you lose all sense of reality and anything is possible.

 

Christ I hope a couple of these new lads turn out to be really good, we need the boost that would give.

 

I reckon it'll be a pretty strong line up with at most 1 or 2 changes from the last game, Deek might bring a couple on if we get out noses in front and we are comfortable with it.

[Tord31]

No Morris or McGinn?

 

Reckon he'll likely bring in Pawlett or Rooney and just make one change.

 

3-0 win hopefully

[Langmin Loon]

What's the away crowd attendance number at the Hearts game?

photo on twitter looks roughly 100

[super_al]

Greetings from Panama. According to my sources Hearts brought around 240 to their game. We are twice the size of Hearts as we are bringing 500 to our game. Stand Free Dave Min and BWG.

Are you ok?

[KidCreole]

Thank fuck Mginn is being rested, It would show a real lack of faith in the squad to play him tonight.

Amazing.

[RUL]

From a Scottish perspective Hearts winning home and away is exactly what we're needing. Our clubs should be entering later in terms of qualifiers and hopefully we will win comfortably tonight. Hibs are clearly going to get pumped out but us two and celtic should reach the 3rd round without to many issues.

[King Street Loon]

Absolutely horrible news about their keeper losing his father like that.

 

I'd like to think the club can do something to show a bit of sympathy and respect while there - would be a nice touch.

You serious?

Whilst it's never fine anyone dying, why should AFC as a club give a fyck about this let alone do anything to mark it?

Bonkers.

[King Street Loon]

GAME DAY!!!

Fresh as a daisy and ready to take on the world.

Because it's the decent thing to do and it shows class.
