 I like the look of the side without Duk at the moment in all honesty. I have a weird feeling this might be a really tough game but we can win it

Nice bit of positivity from you, good to see!

Pumping these reindeer herders should be a decent warm up for the St Johnstone game next weekend.

Jensen looked in a fair bit of pain and had to be helped off the pitch yesterday so wouldn't be surprised if he isn't fit.

Can one of you  kind gents explain to me if I'm able to put a few pics from my android phone on to the Frank McDougall thread, thanks.

Not sure how to do it.

I think he'll be ok, he was over celebrating at full time and didn't look to be in too much discomfort. Thought he was excellent yesterday.

Doable 3 points.

Upload it to an image hosting site e.g. https://imgbb.com/

Copy the URL.

Click the 'insert image from url' and past the URL in.

It only works for me when I do the full html URL.

1-0 the good guys

Still 1000 tickets left according to email I got half hr ago. Anyone still considering should get on it

I trust that we've done our due diligence on Helsinki and that we're not just dismissing them as the 'easiest' team in the group. 

They're strolling the Finnish league (again) and by the looks of it they score in most games they play.

It's hard to tell how they good they are.....their European record where they (just) lost twice to Qarabag but struggled to beat Larne doesn't give a lot away. I have a feeling they'll be a bit like the Breidablik side we played a couple of years back....some decent players, and will pose the odd problem, but they're a team we should score against. 

I'll plump for the same score, 3-1 Dons.

Are the champions of Finland better than the champions of Sweden? 

I do not know. But we're better now than the team that lost to hacken.

Easy min, we are the famous Aberdeen FC. No need for any of that nonsense. Turn up and pump them. Can’t remember the last time we didn’t win tbh.

7-0 The Dons.

Nope' Helsinki aren't much to write home about. We really should be winning this game.

[fine-n-dandy]

Hope we don’t suffer from a Sevco humping hangover. Not to mention the traveling involved as well

[GeorgeStreetReds]

Would start Barron over Polvara, and Hayes in for McKenzie - same formation to start with.

If things aren’t going well by halftime then get Duk on and go more attacking second half.

I would go with the county 4-0 squad if Jensen isn’t goosed. 
edit - obviously Mcgarry is out.

1000 tickets remaining. Hopefully it’s a sellout.

Something wrong if we can’t sell out a euro home game on the back of beating the scum at Snake Mountain

What ever happened to the adjustable away end planned to be finished by mid September?

Maybe the date was the adjustable part.

What’s the capacity of Pittodrie for this match, anyone any idea? Aware a large number of fans had to move seats due to UEFA regulations

Good question?

It's vastly reduced as I believe the front 3 rows are empty and Uefa ask for hordes of tickets in the Main Stand

If it’s vastly reduced then it’s perhaps more of a surprise that it isn’t sold out. Hearts last season had attendances of 17.2k v Fiorentina and 15.8k v Rigas FS in their 2000 kick off group stage matches

Just tested the 3 row theory and there is tickets on sale for the 3rd row so that cant be right

A lassie from my work and her boyfriend were thinking of going, they are not normally football fans. She then said to me that £42 a ticket is steep, which I agree with. 
AFC are maybe happy with selling 17,000 @ £42 ( £714k) rather than 18,000 @ £35 (£630k). I know there was a discount for the 3 match package and there are junior/OAP prices, etc. but I do understand the pricing strategy, it just won’t suit all.
