Yup. I'd say we've got a 30% chance at the moment. Penalties is 50%.

Aye, I’d probably agree.

It’s an interesting question and given we are behind, I’m tempted to say yes as it means we will have won the game, which is the first aim on Sunday

A question best answered at about 9.29pm on Thursday.

They’ll almost certainly score given our frailties, so we need at least 2 goals.

I’d take penalties now I think

Nae much wonder after the shite produced in the last 2 games.

Bit cryptic there tho loon, what actually are the sales, so the rest of us can gauge whether we think they are disappointing or not?

I'm only going via afc website but looks about 12,000.

How the hell can we have a 50% chance of going through on penalties but 30% overall

In answer to the question "would you, right now, settle for penalties?" I said I would, because I believe our current odds are worse than 50%.

Comprendes amigo?

Pretty disappointing sales. 

Pathetic if we don’t sell the game out

10k according to the club 

[aberdeen1970]

I wouldn't take penalties right now. 

We've got a home game in front of a potential full house to come and we're only one goal behind. 

I'd rather have that than go straight to a penalty shootout.

I agree. Hopefully sales pick up a lot but doesn't seem any rush.

Visited the AFC site and they say 11,000 as of Saturday morning and that tickets are mow on general sale. The capacity for this game is only 18,000. A good game tomorrow and they should sell out pretty easily.

[muttonhumper]

Perhaps the slow uptake is related to taking the piss with the prices v the Icelandic non-entities?

But aye surely to fuck sell this oot.

Suppose many factors may be at play but I hope come Thursday it will  be close to selling out. 

Amount of folk who picked up covid at that game probably isn't helping ?

We better get to 17,000 to 18,000 for all the moaners about ticket prices saying we would have sold out if we'd had lower prices.

They dont have all the tickets on sale yet and i would say it wont sell out. back half of the rds upper is not on sale and some front tickets in south

[Oregon Red]

See The Paddock is just aboot selt oot.  Do folk still call it The Paddock ? 

[Oregon Red]

If not sold out will there be the ability to purchase tickets on the night?

If we don’t, we really do have a shite fucking home support & any stick we get for not getting to that amount would be 100% deserved. 

[BonnieDon]

I thought we'd lose on Thursday and sadly I fully expect us to lose this coming Thursday.

2-0 Qarabag

Well you tend to think everything and everybody else associated with the club is shit so you might as well add our support to the list. 

There's still the best part of 5 days left and the tickets have just gone on general sale. This game will most likely sell out.

Boot!

[Betty Swallicks]

This will sell out by ko. 

 

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Yes it will be a disgrace if this doesn't sell out.

I do think we ought to cool it regarding openly counting our Euro millions, before we have even played the 2nd leg - that's a sure fire way to end up with egg on our collective face.

Plus, if we don't go through, id rather not have a Bullseye style "lets see what we could have won" experience.  Ignorance is bliss, in that case.

As it happens, I think we will do it.

3-1 us on the night, going though 3-2 on agg.

COYR!

Why? There’s doesn’t seem to be the much anticipated clamour for post Covid football - see the Knew Camp yesterday? Was nowhere near capacity. 
11k with 5 days to go isn’t too shabby considering form, losing the first leg and lack of cash tills.

The constant desire to be negative about absolutely everything has become a bad habit on here lately.  We seem to have collected a fair few of these types. 

There's folk that constantly bang on about resting players but still expect to win every game.  Then when the understudies play they post repetitively about them being 'shite' like it's some sort of revelation to the rest of us. 

Yet the same posters bash the Huns and Celtic  fans for their self entitlement. 

And now we seem to be bashing fans for not having sold out Pittodrie with 5 days to go before kick off.

That’s not true.

So do you not agree with my point?

That’s very negative of you. 
You should be saying we’ll win 2-0

That doesn't make sense. 

Surely the person being negative would be the one taking penalties now rather than thinking we can turn the game around during the 90/120 mins?
