It should not be Barron for Polvara, that leaves us with a very small and lightweight midfield.

Aye Barcelona and Spain struggled with that as well eh?

Is there a separate thread about pubs before the game? 

Where's abdy drinking? See some people are headed to the Shed, some to the Bowling club, etc

 

i'm away to the shed, not sure if dandies still go to clockwork, was a decent pre game boozer, will be loads of places tbf, the 5.15 ko is superb, hopefully help to generate an atmosphere in the half empty coup

[ELLON RED]

Not sure if been mentioned but Beaton for this one!

Got to stick with 5-4-1 on Saturday - we look much better that way than 5-3-2, which is the only alternative Robson would go with.

Only question for me (provided there are no injuries) is whether Barron comes back in.  I'd be tempted to go with the same starting 11 as last night.

Fine as long as we have a goal threat within the 4.  Which in Mcgrath we do obvs 

[DelMonte]

Keep the 3-4-2-1.

Robson has carbon copied Steve Clarkes Scotland. Polvara and McGrath in the McTominay and McGinn roles.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I agree with going with the starting 11 from last night.

Looking forward to this now!  👍

Easy win.

@dave_min to spend his Friday night pouring Spritz into an irn-bru bottle.

He’s a poof.

We’ve got Shinnie and Mcgrath.

Busquets is a thug of a footballer. No finesse, lack of ability, but a right dirty bastard.

Got the best the worst fitba take I've ever seen. 

[Howard Marks]

Might even be an opportunity to catch up with some Hatters. I think I'll be around McNeil's or Queens Park Cafe pre match. Usually decent haunts, even if at least one is a "Timmy Dive Bar."

Yes it is amazing how often we have him reffing our games.

Silver lining being it hopefully rules the fat hun cunt out of the final.

In. 

3-1 to the Dons.

I said "at least one." 😉

We’ll be ok if we don’t let their quicker players in behind. I’d go with one up top as we have players like McGrath, Polvara and even Devlin who like getting in the box. 

It'll almost certainly be the 5-4-1 we saw last night, so no need to worry. Duk should definitely not start.

[milne_afc]

Last night’s performance has me considering the trip to Hammerz for this.  Is there any likelihood of indiscriminate fisticuffs breaking out pre or post-match and would a call of “not the face” be adhered to?

Would you trust Edinburgh junkies?

even if there was such agreement?

Fair enough min.

If we all had the same opinion life would be boring.

[Snelders Snottters 89]

This one might go to pens.. but as I've said 2 of our goals we're gifts last night. We conceding 2 goals is worrying like we cant ever keep clean sheets.

[Johnnyred1]

In the last 3 games we have conceded 3 deflected goals, a defender slipping to allow another goal and a dubious penalty. Surely, we are due a wee break.
