Aberdeen v FC Shakhtar Donetsk

[TheDeeDon]

Game day.

Are we all looking forward to going to this tonight.

Wishing my life away, but rather it was the Dundee game on Sunday. Much more important.

Thelinball to come good tonight and we slay Shahktar, only to then get beat off Dundee on Sunday.

Be such an Aberdeen thing to do!!!

Crowd estimated around 15/16k, which I don't think is that bad all thing considered.

Hopefully we can get a goal or something to try and give the players a lift.

I'd be happy if we got a corner kick, let alone a goal.

would agree with that mate.
Changing the subject slightly, obviously with the exception of the Scottish Cup Final, when was the last time the dons were actually awarded a penalty? I actually cannot remember the last time we were awarded a penalty kick in a match,
But I got to thinking about our current bunch of under achievers, If we are ever awarded a penalty in a game who do we think should be our first choice penalty kick taker?

For me I would go with Shinnie or Clarkson

As a team you always have to believe no matter who you face you will give yourself an opportunity to win.
1-0 o.g will do

The last time we were awarded a penalty kick was against the Huns almost a year ago.McGrath took it and missed.

Even more stranger is that has been the only penalty we have been awarded since Thelin became our manager.

Cheers Rico, that's it I remember it now, as I recall screaming At McGrath saying any Aberdeen player taking a spot kick against the huns for us, should be putting his laces through the ball and bursting the fkn net but he fannied it and missed.

Thats is a very strange stat right there that is the single penalty we have been awarded since Thelin became our manager, I was not aware of that at all, but fk me that is very peculiar.

IF we ever do get a penalty awarded to us, as I cant think on us scoring a goal during open play for the foreseeable future, who would be your pick to take the penalty?

Nothing at all strange about that. Our players generally have to take the occasional foray into the opposition box before there is the possibility of penalties being awarded in our favour.

I would have thought Nisbet is our first choice penalty taker if he is playing bus.

Aye SD that is sadly a very accurate and fair comment and will obviously be a major contributing factor
