Superstitions

[Topi Kat]

OK, 2nd feature from me to while away the days until we play next.... superstitions.

I have to admit to being slightly guilty of this when it comes to the Dons. I never wear anything of a similar colour to who we're playing that day and, I suspect like others, if we win, I'll try and wear the same clobber to the next game.
An odd one - we no longer buy programmes as when the kids bought any, we always got pumped.

All in, I'd say these things are absolute pish and fish wifey type of scenarios, as I've worn multiple different clothing to games under Jimmy, and we've won the lot. A particular hoody that I thought brought luck... never wore it one match and hey, we fuckin won!

So enlighten us as to your weird rituals. Pre-match shite in the Bobbin? Knock one out in the shower the morning of a game whilst humming the Northern Lights?

‘Feature’?

You suspect very bloody wrong I'd suggest.

This thread is being well received. Great stuff! 🥰

I’ll bite Topi. 
 

I never walk over 3 drains in the street. Always try and avoid them. 2 or 4 (or any other number) is okay, but not 3.

I tend to find when we appoint shite managers we tend to do pretty shite.

Come on now. You're not playing fair. That's not a superstition about AFC now is it.

I'll give you a leg up.... I stopped recording us on TV when we're playing and I'm at the game. We always seemed to feckin lose!

All of this is a bit bizarre as I'm not in the slightest bit superstitous!!

In relation to the Dons or just in general? If we're generalising then I'm sure there's some pretty wierd shit that we could talk about.

Incidentally, I think fitba players are very superstitious (love Stevie Wonder). From hopping on to the pitch, to the order they put their boots on. Heard some oddball stuff from them over the years.

No, that’s just in general.

It's bad luck to be superstitious.

Why, do bad things happen to you whenever Scotland play?

Aye. We watch Scotland play.

I am superstitious about starting a thread that it is likely to wind up the natives. 

Seriously I never bet on the Dons to win or be involved in goals related outcomes.

Plus an ex mother in law of mine also once said that it was unlucky to cut yer toenails on a Sunday. I pished myself laughing at such shite, hence why we didn't get on.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I’d never heard of not starting a job on a Saturday until I watched Gary Macdonald.

Oddly, my mother-in-law says the same thing!

Do grown men seriously have superstitions around going to a football match?

I thought that’s was just shite made up for daft football shows- you know small town English club wins 14 games in a row because the linesman wears a butt plug in the showers post match or whatever - the sort of nonsense you get when Football focus decides to patronise fans of real clubs.

Well, if I nominate myself as being 'odd' in that I do have some traits that have been displayed over the years, then I guess the thread is intended to see if anyone else does.

Clearly, if you don't, then feel free to skip along and ignore this thread, just like I do on some others that don't really float my boat.

The idea of a linesman wearing a butt plug does give food for thought though. Maybe the reason they all run like that.

I must have missed that episode. Did you record it please? 

[donswin1983]

I use to stick my chopper in a glory hole in Stonehaven prior to Celtic away games.

stopped after we got beat 9 scud. Admittedly, I could’ve stopped well before that, given a lot of other tankings. but 9-0 felt like a universal message. 
 

Mainly just avoid ladders, breaking mirrors and running over black cats these days.
