What a mental game.
That's never a foul. Ridiculous if VAR overrules it.

Talk about a complete bottle job. How much did they pay for this squad? (Lyon this time :greengrin)Quote:

What do I know, Maguire upfront is the difference...makes you wonder if the modern way of playing is bollocks...Big target man needed...!
Roof just about came off with that Maguire goal. Some scenes! Mental mental game.
How many Man U fans left in ground to see that?
sacre bleu Lyon
huddies
Well **** me that was some game
Brilliant game that
Chuffed for Maguire
Delighted for that wee lad, well done Man U, that is what football is.
Ange v Amorin final? battle for the sack
I don't like Man U but things like this are why we all love football. Could be their Aberdeen moment but I dont think they've the same character and togetherness that we have.
Not a Man U fan but I'm pleased for them and their manager.
Bodo through on penalties, penalties were shocking from both teams but least Nazio oot
exciting finish in the Lazio v Bodo Glimt game as well
Bodo Glimt winning 3-2 on penalties
Football is a mad game sometimes.
Not a fan of United but that was wonderful stuff
Amorim is a nice guy, I hope he turns it round for Man Utd.
I say that as a non man utd fan.
On a wage bill similar to ours.[emoji102]Quote:

Neither of those are top level teams currently.Quote:

I don't typically watch European football but I'll maybe look out the full highlights of that game.
Manchester United are such a poor side though. Lyon, down to 10 men, thought they had the game won at 4-2. But once United got the first there was only going to be one winner.
Think Lyon will think they areQuote:

Mayenda with another goal for Sunderland, top drawer too. Started in his own half and finished the run by scoring.

Weird one. Don’t want Hearts to make a final but think they’ll be easier for Celtic than Aberdeen.Quote:

I see some of the jumbos are concerned about Critchley playing this diamond formation which might give Keskinen and Morris plenty of space out wide .Quote:

Aberdeen win
Critchley doesn't do winning big games
Jamie McGrath in contention for tomorrow. Imagine if he scores the winner he could become a legend.
For us.
Aberdeen pump them, Aberdeen will get sheared by celtic easily
Some observations from today's English games, Harry getting nearly full game time with Bromley, Porto on the bench again and not brought on as Preston lose, seems to be bit of discontent with Mowbray at West Brom.
Aberdeen win hopefully, with Celtic winning the final.Quote:

A few injuries to some Aberdeen players tomorrow ahead of next week would be ideal too.Quote:

Pleased to see they are doing well and hope they get promoted.
Know no club has a divine right to be in the top division, but really they must be.
i'm sure i still have the top up in the attic somewhere :) a thing of beauty, blue/white stripes down the sleeves iircQuote:

Memorable times.
A good friend of mine is a Leeds fan and convinced me to purchase one of their training tops from last season…Quote:

And none of it in our control - I'm actually more worried about the St Johnstone match given last result and that pitch might get roughed up today making slick football harder... just hoping the width of Hampden makes a shock less likely
tis my prediction that Aberdeen don't stand a chance today against the sparryheids
by the time the game has finished they will have Donsed it
Not so sure, the yammish lot can be spawny at times and thats what could get them through but the sheep are playing with a bit more confidence going into this game whereas that lot are on a downerQuote:

Robbo spooning it over the bar with just the goalie to beat. Levein crawls back from the dundonian privvy with his hole in tatters and then said hole ripped apart by Aberdeens Hewitt time and again. Sad jambo salty tears as the double dream crumbles to naught. Walter Kidd sent off for a baby tantrum throwing the ball at an opponent.
Watch and enjoy.
Correct.Quote:

Just like in horse betting, there must have been more money put on Hearts in the last couple of days, hence their odds have shortened. Will be tight today. Aberdeen have more attacking threat, but the way Aberdeen capitulated last week will have given the Yam hope.
Could go to pens this one.
McGrath in the expected squad today, hope he remains unscathed - and scores the winning goal !
Saints win is worst case scenario as 3rd place meaningless for group stage, but saints to beat Celtic two in a row...can't see it.Quote:

Critchley can't win big games. I don't expect that to change today.
Alexa will be playing Joy Division later.
How funny would that be 😂Quote:

Aberdeen have the pace out wide to give hearts full backs a torrid time

Get that right, dons win 3-0 / 3-1
Could go either way but as like last weekend, I don’t see where anyone is getting the idea that Critchley is capable of getting them to win a big game.
Aberdeen clear favourites but stranger things have happened so you never know.
Aberdeen have played better since they've not had that ginger headed diddy in the middle of the park. Every time I watched him he was howling. Like a poor man's Graeme Shinnie.

The only thing I would say mind you is I reckon Celtic are more likely to slip up against Aberdeen than Hearts in a potential final, but then….its probably not worth the risk.
Celtic have been dialling it in for a while in the league, but I can see them skelping St Johnstone tomorrow, and I dont think there is any chance of a slip up against anyone if they get to the final.Quote:

edited to add - they are so far ahead of everyone else that - annoying though it would be - anyone beating Celtic in the final would thoroughly deserve the praise they got.
Hearts were dreadful when he took over but he got them to within a whisker of top six. I'm looking at their players. Shankland isn't doing it for them and Kabangu has gone quiet too. The manager can only do so much.Quote:

McGrath on the bench for Aberdeen.
If you like karma being a b1tch then I have £2 on hearts 1 Aberdeen 5 at 200/1 on paddy power
Supporting Aberdeen today for the only time this season.
Firstly, under no circumstances do I ever want to see Hearts win the Scottish cup, and it would be absolutely sickening for them to take the group stages from us by doing so if we come 3rd. Slightly easier to stomach Aberdeen doing the above.
Secondly, If Aberdeen do unfortunately come 3rd above us then the final becomes irrelevant, whereas in this situation a Hearts win would then see us taking the 5th best European route (if we finished 4th) which would be terrible given where we are now.
Mon the Dons.
Nature as we know is a wonderful thing - I always favour the bees, especially those of the high flying variety- but for some reason today I have an affinity (not in the biblical sense) for a woolly farm animal - let them prevail today and get a right good rogering next week 🙏🤞
