There's zero chance it's happening, but I can still see it going one of two ways. Either they'll be happy knowing the job is done and look to cruise to a 1 or 2 nil win, or they'll want to put on a show for their first home game of the season and stick 6 past us.

As much as we will give it a go on Thursday i really have the fear for this one, home advantage, a much better team that looked a lot faster and fitter than us. That 3rd goal, last Thursday has just about killed the tie, we need a 2-0 win as a minimum to force extra time or win by 3 clear goals to progress, and without going full MJC i just cant see it happening.

I would think that if both Clubs requested a change then the date would be moved. Has happened with many teams in the past but both teams have to agree. Would make good sense.

Frieburg with a 5-1 away win versus Dussledorf at the weekend…

Fan ownership

It’s been a drag of a weekend without the football but I think the option to postpone was sensibly exercised in the interest of the 5 clubs and the coefficient. Slight annoyance for me is that after Freiburg we have 3 league games in 7 days. I had hoped our midweek game at home to Dundee United could have been shifted to Sat 12th Sept with us both out the cup.

Except the Hearts and Rangers results were irrelevant, win or lose they were still playing some sort of European football last Thursday and next, Yes Hibs and or Motherwell could have been knocked out by now but they could still have covered their bases by arranging Aberdeen to play in Dundee and a reasonable East / West split of the other fixtures. The big question for me is why Celtic, a full 4 games into their season, felt that a postponement was required (and allowed).

Fit in perfectly with our squad of crocs ....😁

Mjc thrives on getting bites , wouldn't put much stock on anything he posts .

100%

Aye right we just put in a shift on Thursday playing one of the best teams in Germany/ Europe . Third of that with 10 men. It's a great idea to play Aberdeen 3 days later and have them kick and injure our fatigued team off the park. Your taking the piss . Well done.

FFS have you not been watching the games n listening to the manager in his pressers about injuries and managing players to prevent an even longer list of injuries? Clearly you’ve had your black out shades on n ear plugs in and just want to winge about a negative again. Cancellation was the best decision for me, every other team has done it so why should we put ourselves at a disadvantage for the Freiburg game. CMYW!

So whoever programmed the "super computer" would have to correctly guess that Hearts would fail in the CL and EL, Rangers in EL, and both Hibs and Motherwell would get through two rounds in the conference, to all end up in the conf playoffs, aye ok then. I hope he put a coupon on and is enjoying himelf somewhere warm and sunny.

Just one more variable they could have put into the fixture super computer before the season even started. As it was agreed all clubs competing in Europe could postpone thus round of fixtures, they could have scheduled the head to heads on this weekend

The authorities often get things wrong, but allowing teams to prepare and give them the best opportunity to compete and win in their play-off rounds is not one of them. You don't have to go too far back in time to see your thoughts about our performance against Stenhousemuir.

Common sense did prevail, the club decided to postpone todays game to allow the players to have a full week of preparation to prepare themselves for probably the most important game in its recent history, a chance to make the group stages of a European tournament and the financial rewards that brings.

Aye I know Willy's feet are too big for him to be compared to twinkle toes Don Goodman.

Garbage . The entire team needs a break. Your phobia for all things Europe is showing.

With the added bonus of getting a right good moan in after watching a team of youngsters and knackered senior players take a doing.

If common sense had prevailed then it would be being played at 3pm today. It was a nonsense that we postponed it this weekend in favour of ‘Europe’.

There's not much else they could have done. We don't have any available Friday nights or weekend dates to move it to.

I really don’t think they give a flying fruit bat in general for the ordinary fans so I’m not really surprised, sadly.

This fixture understandably has had to be rescheduled however the revised date of Tuesday 15th September with a 7.45pm kick-off makes me wonder if our football officials are trying to destroy our game. It will be a round trip of nearly 6 hours for Aberdeen fans who choose to come down for the match. To arrive in time for kick-off, they’d have to leave around 3-4pm and wouldn’t get home until well after midnight. Now I know it’s not easy to fit-in rearranged fixtures, but would it not have been better to have arranged this game for say a Friday night? This might just as easily have been an away game for us so I’d be interested to know what others think.

I'll give Willy patience and time to come good but on first impression he's no Don Goodman.

You got that one right 🤣
