Hibernian 0 v 1 Aberdeen

**Dinkydoo** · 24-11-2012 10:16 AM

My first match update thread.

See here for updates from Hibsbollah on what the weather is like in Leith and the Dashing Bob winter collection, detailing the suitable attire one should adorn themselves in for the big game.

Also, there might be updates from the match itself

CalgaryHibs will not be amused when he gets up.

Just about to set off for the Iona from Rosyth. All the players on twitter seem up for it this morning. Lets get right behind them today!!!

From eticketing, only 800 tickets left in the east so will be a great atmosphere in there!!

***nonshinyfinish*** · 24-11-2012 10:38 AM

Slate grey skies here in Cambridge, although it remains dry thus far. The temperature offers neither the unforeseen bonus of late-autumn warmth nor the visceral thrill of genuine cold. Disappointing all round; it puts one in mind of Stringer Bell's 'forty degree day'. [Parental discretion advised.]

Any teams yet?

That would be an improvement.

I'm looking forward to 4-5 pages worth of:

Bloody BBC page! Does anyone have a link to our game?

Alan Preston is a kn0b!

Then when we score there will be at least 18 replies of........

Followed by someone asking 10 minutes after the goal - "Does anyone have a description of the goal?" Which will be ignored.

Bring it on!!!

**LancashireHibby** · 24-11-2012 11:02 AM

Shall try to bring a half time update but won't be participating during the game as I'll be allez-ing in section 43.

**hibsbollah** · 24-11-2012 11:03 AM

The Bollah Barometer is showing high pressure, 1013mb and rising, which means fine and cold today at the Leith San Siro. Temperature will peak at 5C, but remember its late November so sunset will be at 3:45 causing those temperatures to plummet second half.

Winds will be light at 4mph but forecasting the prevailing direction isn't straightforward. Even Judith Ralston struggled to pin it down this morning, and the met office's Shipping Forecast for Forth was equally obtuse. Winds will be backing from southeasterly southwesterly AND easterly off the sea today, swirling around in advance of the heavy rain that's forecast for Sunday. If the wind ends up coming from an easterly direction it's likely to feel colder than 5 degrees.

In short, A hat and gloves would be a good idea, and for you West Standers, a nice tartan blanket for those knees.

Just remember, there's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 24-11-2012 11:18 AM

nice to see a match update thread started less than 3 days before the actual game

anyway, no surprise BBC commentary has went for the team in first and the team in 7th

instead of the 2nd and 3rd placed teams

therefore...it's open all ****** mics again for us

2000 tickets sold for the away end , still only opening lower tier. This is according to caterers last night.

Will be good to have a decent away crowd at ER, hope both sets of fans make a good noise and get behind the teams

The AFC site states that there are 4 - 5 turnstiles for cash admissions - so the top tier may be needed

***offshorehibby*** · 24-11-2012 11:33 AM

Gutted, i'm stuck offshore, should get back into Waverly just to see loads of Dons fans with their faces tripping them.

I'd that's the case should be looking at a crowd of over 13,000

Is mcpake back?

According to STV preview he's still doubtful because of his back injury.

http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottis...e-back/Captain

James McPake is again doubtful with a back problem for Hibernian.

Defender Tim Clancy (groin) is definitely out, while midfielder Gary Deegan (fractured jaw) has been given permission to return to full training, but will be eased in gently.
