As folk around the world celebrate the birth of a great Scot, more personal for me.
Tonight I raise a glass to my great Scot, my dad , who would of been 90 years young today. Incredibly missed. ❤️

Today was like watching a game at Sheddocksly on a Sun morning. Goals, terrible defending, red cards, no real quality anywhere on the pitch, with an atrocious ref.
At least it was the predictable borefest. Vital 3pts at the end.

Ideally game would be off today,so we don't have to go & watch us v livi in terrible weather. Sadly won't happen.
Think 1pt from our last 6 games was about expected considering opponents.
Today is one of the few games where we could get a win, (if we can score) certainly won't be easy.

I repeat..
If any member of our board were in the slightest bit competent*, they'd be enquiring & trying to persuade the manager in home dugout today if he fancies a 3 year project to try making Afc a top 6 challenging team.

As a indication of the quality in the current Afc squad, not 1 of them get into the starting 11 of the Falkirk team.

Seems quite an element of our support haven't been paying attention recently.
The team we have loaned our latest player aren't our rivals, they are challenging for a league title.
Our rivals are at the other end of the league table.

Ventured out this morning, with the conditions of pavements throughout the city, including the centre I'd expect a&e to be extremely busy next 24hrs or so.

Can't think of anything worse than our back to back opposition for next 2 games. (If on).
Will take my usual policy for the fixture, don't/wont watch, read, comment on a moment of the nonsense.
Enjoy the pantomime if you're into it.

Thelin seems a nice guy. Biggest thing on his CV for his time here should be luck in capital letters.
Another decision to be made by the American & his board.
No confidence at all they will do it correctly or wisely.

If you expected or even thought we'd get anything today you simply haven't watched us at all this season.
20 of our 25pts have come v teams in bottom 4. Said in August I'd take 10th place... nothing has changed.
Worst squad & management in decades.

Just subjected myself to the goals from last night. They perfectly sum up the squad.
Poor passing, weak & slow in midfield & a defence/keeper of whom none are of the quality you need to be in the top 6.

Didn't follow it at all last night.
As a ST holder ,home games are a effort to attend.
Extremely predictable result.
This is the poorest quality of squad I've seen in over a decade, put together by 1 of the poorest coaches we've ever had.
Appointmed by a clueless board.
Huge changes needed.

Reckon you would have to be very optimistic or just plain daft to be confident of Dons getting anything tonight.
Hibs just look to have better options and ability all over the park. (& off it)
We have had a few surprising away results already this season tho. Would be the biggest yet tho.

A poor game with 2 very poor sides. No quality & hardly a top 6 player on the pitch. Both sides will finish in that little group of 4 ,somewhere between 6th at best & 9th.

In this 6 game period today is most likely our best chance to get something.
We will have to play well & more importantly match their physical strength, that's the main concern, particularly in our defence.
