We've got a great work ethic and team spirit, and we've been difficult to beat to say the least. Only one defeat in 2023 so far, and that was a meaningless end of season game away at Albion Rovers on the last day of the season. Not many weaknesses apart from the usual part time stuff, ie I would expect you guys to be miles fitter, and quicker. If we catch you on a real off day like we did with St Johnstone in Perth, there's always a slim chance, but I don't see a closer scoreline than 3-0 to the Dons on Friday night. It'll be good to have a (near) full stadium again though, particularly under the lights. Any players to look out for? How is the catering at Forthbank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory MacFadyen is a beast. Speedy Gomez blows hot and cold. When all else fails, we usually leave a wad of used fivers in the refs dressing room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Why is this game being played on a Friday night? I stupidly assumed Viaplay were showing it as a David and Goliath spectacle then realised neither Rangers or Celtic are involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday 19th clashes with the Stirling Highland games which is held near Forthbank. We were originally scheduled to play an away game in the league on that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb yatt Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 This game is a win/win for me. Since their glory days, Aberdeen have always been my “wee” team. The manner in which Stirling progressed from the group stages was a great achievement. If we come through the game injury free, I will be happy. Staff could see it differently and see it as an opportunity to be a shop-window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I sit in home end at Ibrox or Parkhead, no. I sat in home end at Binos v Dons last year, and will do the same with my Binos supporting mates tomo, who I regularly go to Binos games with. Looking forward to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Strange that there is no UK PPV option for this. Not sure if SAFC have their own channel to do this, however low budget? The game is a sellout. It is not kicking off at the sacred 3pm Saturday time. There presumably would be plenty demand to see the game - maybe trebling or quadrupling the matchday attendance with people happy to pay a tenner or so to watch online? Barry Hearn will be shaking his head at such a commercial own goal and not giving the customers what they want...........

Frank Grimes Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Aye would’ve happily paid a tenner or so for PPV but dodgy stream it will need to be. Sad! As for the game, no fucking about, just win and get through it injury free for Thursday Edited August 18, 2023 by Frank Grimes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
