Aye. An uncharacteristic miss from The Cobra. Gordons save from Moult in the 2017 League Cup Final is up there. Not really a miss as such, as it was good hit/save, but if it had gone in, it could well have changed the dynamic of that game.

For someone who predicts that we will get beat most weeks, I find this kind of positivity quite refreshing! 😍😍😍

Huge incentive for both teams now. Dunfermline away is not an easy draw, but its a really tasty tie at a good stadium with the prospect of a very big crowd. Should be a great away day for the winner.

Best not let that happen then! 😍😍😍

Agreed. The only real benefit is to allow any niggly wee injuries that players are carrying to settle down, and you dont pick up any more injuries or suspensions. Given that we actually had games that might have been played, it wont have allowed much more prep for this game as we would have been focussed on Dundee and Aberdeen. We are at home however, and with the bigger home supports we have experienced of late, I imagine the atmosphere for this one could be quite tasty.

I see what you did there! 🧡❤️🧡

Can the clubs agree to move it back to the Saturday?

I think what maybe has become apparent is that, a Head of Recruitment is only as good as the brief he is given. If the manager requests a particular type of player, and a board puts significant financial or other contraints on the identification process, then you are likely to get predictibly poor results......

Kettlewells stubborn attachment to a system that he himself proclaimed he had "never played before" was his downfall. Even if he had wanted to continue with the 5-4-1, he should have signed players to allow him to do that. Or at the very least, when he realised his signings couldnt play 5-4-1, he should have changed it. He gets some kudos for his first 18 months, but the way it unravelled so quickly was entirely on him. Remember he also signed Johnny K and then refused to play him when we were struggling for a right back! I dont normally turn on Motherwell managers and am usually the last shouting for their heads, but the way he manufactured his exit will always be a sore point for me, so any of the good stuff that went before, for me, is tarnished.

Good early decision. Lets us get on with planning an alternative weekend. Hopefully we get a decent draw in the next round as a carrot. Be good to get it played on the 18th, otherwise fixtures might start to pile up, with the Dundee game also still requiring a suitable date. Onwards to Wednesday night and getting it right up The Rainjurs!

Can we not have David Dickinson as referee please. Not suggesting he is corrupt. But would just like to be talking about the game instead of him for a change!

No, Aberdeen FC 😉😉😉

Surely you are not suggesting nefarious actions! 😆😆😆

Was it worse than the one on Fadinger?

None of our youngsters play left back though.....
