Match Thread (Scottish Cup) Aberdeen 0 - 3 Dundee Utd

[Betty Swallicks]

Biggest game of the season so far?

2-0.

 

[Dynamo]

Dons to do goals. 

[Ramandu]

We owe Dundee Utd a skelping this season.

[StandFree1982]

As the talented Jason Donavon once said:

Any Win Will Do. 

[Ten Caat]

Really think we will deliver a skelping

4-1

4-1 quarter final just reminded me of a Scottish Cup trip full of promise at Tannadice.

Got an absolute doing but my man Richie Byrne got a consolation goal for the Dons.

16 years ago, what the fuck. I am old as fuck

[paddy]

Will goto pens.

[afc1903mad]

What’s the latest with Ryan Hedges? Any chance he could be added to the bench this weekend?

[Betty Swallicks]

Siegrist out. Their other keeper is pish.

Fuck it, I'm in the 4-1 gang too.

No

I'd go with pretty much the same team as wednesday night, Ramsay in for McCrorie if the latter fails to recover from injury, possibly even if he does recover.

Really want to see Hayes further up the park but unless Glass rejigs the defence, which is unlikely, left back is where he will be.

Thought Kennedy has looked better since Glass' arrival, big game for him tomorrow.

Went down that day as well. Byrne heeder.

Was brutal. Pretty sure we played them not long after in the league. Got in a bit of bother with 'Utility' lads as well.

Walked away with a bit of a shiner, but we won the battle.

The good old days, where we were shite.

That rings a bell actually. I'm sure we went down for a mid week game a few days later and beat them 2-1

[Redtaz2]

They “. Rested quite a few “ on Wednesday obviously taking this one really seriously 

dependent on who is actually available for our defence will be crucial 

my reckoning is Hoban suspended , mckenzie cup tied mcrorie injured 

so unfortunately not many options 

I expect a really close game 

however there does appear to be more belief so I will go with this 

 

2:1 dons 

kamberi , Kennedy ( yes Kennedy?) , some no name for them 

[dazzy_deff]

Asked before, but why is Hoban suspended when we have only played 2 cup games and its 3 bookings for a ban?

Think it's two booking for teams entering in round three.

Is Hoban not suspended? 
If he is & McCrorie is injured then fuck knows the back four would be?

We only have Considine that can play centre half.

Three bookings for teams entering in rounds 1, 2 or 3. We entered in round 3.

[aberdeen1970]

Chance for another youngster to impress then if McCrorie is injured and Hoban is suspended. 

Devlin might suddenly declare himself fit!

Aye of course. He's back in training too?

Aberdeen to play their best game under Glass so far.

By his own admission he's hoping to be back running this week, full training next week and maybe in contention for the Livi game.

Maybe a bit early for him then unless he was being cautious. 

Sounds like a chance for another youngster then.  Bring it on.

Oh I'm nae too sure about that

Ramsay deserves to stay in on merit but the Cup has become our chance of salvaging something out of a pretty much written off season 2 months back. 2 raw rookies playing alongside each other in the backline would be a risk too far for me. I'd rather risk an 80% fit Taylor (if he breaks down during the match fair enough we then have no choice but to bring on a youngster. Taylor's leaving anyway so if it happens then bad luck)

I don't think so.

When asked, he 'hopes' to make the Scottish Cup Final.

Aye but you can't make Taylor play if he isn't fit. 

He can just say I'm not fit so I won't be playing thanks very much. 

[aberdeen1970]

There's nobody to move around either.  Unless McKenzie can play centre back?
