Tell them the Dandies are playing,  no more excuses required. I will be watching it on Red TV in Peru with the door firmly shut. Not that the pile of lazy Latino Lima tossers would even notice. 

Throw them or sexually assault them 😳

[C'monEweReds]

I'm going a tight 1-0 win tonight, partly due to the weather. Miovski with the goal. 

Fair play to all supporters going this evening, safe travels.

[AyrshireSheep]

Hope this is as easy a win as Sunday (I know it won't be however). Need to be at Glasgow Airport for 5am tomorrow morning so not wanting ET and pens 😂😂

[Jigsaw666]

1-2. Expect they'll turn it into a fight, should beat them if we don't run away.

[donswin1983]

Nae excuses. 2 or 3 nil Dons. More of the same as we saw on Saturday…

great chance to win a cup. St Mirren the only threat to that, so best we avoid them in the semi and hope Livingston do us a favour by beating them at that stage! 
we will tuck away the junior hun by a good 2 or 3 in the other semi…

get the open top bus booked…

England?

Plenty dodgy streams down there full of sewage 

[CCB III]

Hoping with the weather forecast we're sensible and keep the ball on the floor. 
 

Could go all the way but I expect a dons victory.

Chance Roos might score in this. Lump it on, it's happening

[Don_Corleone]

Reckon we'll go with...

Roos

Gartenmann Rubezic Jensen

Devlin Polvara Barron Shinnie MacKenzie

Miovski Duk

Going to be even more physical than the game at Pittodrie due to the conditions, so think he'll go with the size of Polvara in the middle and save Clarkson for later in the game and for Saturday. Think Barron will retain his place too as he gets about the park and did well at the weekend. Clarkson and McGrath great options from the bench if we need to get a goal later on.

[Matt Armstrong's Dog]

No reason not to be confident in the lads getting the job done inside 90+ minutes if we have finally got our season up and running.

3-1 AFC (Jensen, Shinnie, and Miovski doing the needful.)

COYFR!!!

Either team to win it in ET is 5/1

That’s in one of my bet builders & not too unrealistic as I expect the ref to affect the game more so than either sides actual form/ability. 

[BaaBaaRedSheep]

Dons to progress to semis.

Will not be pretty but we will do the business over 90 minutes, or, given that Beaton is the hun with the whistle, 99 minutes.

Up ih Dons.

Be interesting to see if we’ll see more of what we saw on Sunday (less hoofball & more passing), which clearly worked, or will Robson revert to type?

Hopefully the former.

Nae idea about a prediction, could be just about anything to be honest.

That's a fair bet, going by your logical rationale (i.e. ref's needless interference having a major influence on how the match develops).

What bookies do you back with?

We definitely play to our strengths when we try to play football. We're just shooting ourselves in the foot playing the long ball game. The last two games we've played some decent stuff so hopefully that's the direction we're moving in now. Fingers crossed!

Like you say, hard to predict the score - as it's hard to predict how we'll approach the game. I'd say I'm 60% confident of a Dons win.

If the winds bad it would be fucking madness to play a long ball game anyway

Depends which half & wind direction

Long ball with wind at backs, short/high failed long balls wind in face.

 

A tactical masterclass

They're an awful outfit. Their Bet Builder facility is very limited indeed.

I can't bet with Paddy Power anymore as I received a lifetime ban from one of their affiliates (Betfair) for having the audacity to ask on their live chat facility why my account hadn't been credited, as normal, with a £10 free bet to use on the horses, as part of a promotion I used to do on a Saturday.

Fuck them.🤬

[Woolenrouge]

I was going to sign up to Viaplay for the month but they aren't showing it, just the huns. Anyone got links to streams?

[aberdeen1970]

Decent line up. 

Hayes in for McGarry the only change.
