If Rama is still at the club reckon he'll do 60 mins.

They'll be pushing to get one of the other defenders in. Robson mentioned Macdonald was back running and clearly Dadia or Rubezic could be thrown in

Polvara should be starting. We shouldn’t be starting with Shinnie and Rama against Livi.

Ramadani might not be an option by then.

[Tord31]

180 tickets left for this but its not clear that weve actually put the full allocation on sale or not

[Schapenneuker]

Fuck, I hate playing away to Livi and that whining baldy wee hun. 

Expect long diagonals with them haring around to pick up 2nd and 3rd balls. The Livi way. 

Having Devlin in the squad could be useful at this point....he'll know exactly what they'll try to do, and how to counter it. 

 

[Footballs coming Rome]

Light at the back. Strong in midfield and up top. 2-5 dandies.

They’ll be pinging long diagonals towards Mackenzie for Nouble to ragdoll him.

Couple of massive athletic types bullied us last time. Are they still there?

[aberdeen1970]

We've made Jason Holt look like a superstar the last few seasons.

Nouble is still there.

He’ll go up against MacKenzie.

The first 45 minutes of that game in November was the worst performance McCrorie put in for us....an absolute bin fire, with the rest of the defence not far behind him. Every long ball towards our box petrified us. 

We actually played well in the 2nd half, once those big fuckers completely ran out of puff.

Aye, it was a game of two halves right enough. Should've won in the end.

We'll get more tickets today I'd assume, not like Livi will be selling them.

Think we've sold around 3,800 so far.

Heard that livi will have between 2/2.5 thousand at the first game of the season!, that’s disgusting, should just close the doors, what’s the point

Amen to that, brother.

Win at home and draw away and you’ll not be far off it come May.

in most balanced leagues that would win it.

They're just a small club, it's a poor reflection on the likes of Dundee United, Dunfermline, Falkirk, who have a larger fan base but can't get their shit together.

What, as opposed to our slick, quick, possession football when we play celtic or "rangers "?

Saying that, I do hope they go down this season. Dunfermline up would be preferable.

Football is a meritocracy

If “bigger” clubs with more resources aren’t as good as Livi, that’s not Livi’s fault.

I’d like them relegated, not because they have a tiny support, purely because of that amateur level pitch.

Hopefully MacDonald makes it and we can play Milne, MacDonald and Rubezic in the back 3 and drop Mackenzie. 

I know folk will bang on about left and right feet but I'd rather have a good right footed centre back in the centre of defence than a poor left back

MacDonald's not played at all this pre-season. A bit much expecting him to start on Saturday? Rubezivc I presume has had full pre-season and potentially some game time?

I think if he's fit he might start. Robson was saying he's a really important player and the sweeper role he plays isn't too taxing. 

I certainly hope he makes it anyway as I'm sick of the Devlin, Milne, Mackenzie chat. 

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Over 4,000 sold for Saturday's away end now.

Yeah, but how many have Hearts sold?

7-0 The Dons. 

An unbeaten quadruple wining season incoming.

7-1... can't see us keeping a clean sheet especially if McKenzie and Milne are playing.

[Zeus]

McKenzie will come good at CB this season.

No he won't. Hopefully Rubezic will be in on Saturday so we don't have to suffer Nouble ragdolling Mackenzie time and time again.
