Aberdeen played three friendlies, scoring 10 and conceding a goal in each, before their four League Cup group games this month. They scored 12 without conceding in them.
Celtic Park on Sunday will be a whole different challenge, but as we remember from even recent times, getting the job done against lower league teams is seldom straightforward.
There have been more false dawns at Pittodrie over the last 30 years than sunny dawns, so we cannot expect too much from Jim Goodwin. Still, his team is close to full fitness, paying well, confident and will head to Celtic Park on Sunday as ready as they could hope to be.
The title defence will be tested from the off.

Guys, gals and gender pronouns of your choice
If you don’t like a poster, or if they say something designed to provoke a response
You can flick past the post
Pretend it never existed and enjoy your day
Don’t get sucked into it
Have a great day
==================
Moderator do your job
Your allowing abuse to stand.
Your allowing anonymous blog troll to abuse.
Unprompted last night.
Don’t get sucked into it????
===========================
You allow abuse to stand,
you allow the abuse to happen.
You do zero about abuse.
You are continually asked to remove abuse
Your answer is remove my request and allow the abuse to stand.
Why(4th time of asking( re the 7.43 abuse)
Wipe if out.
Your allowing and enabling by not acting.
Known abuse going on and zero done,
Don’t get sucked in- what and ask helplessly for abuse to stop but have it conflated with general behaviour.then become normalised like is happening here.
Why are you allowing abuse unprompted from
Me to go on?
That 7.43 pm is still there.
As long as that is there abuse is sanctioned here.
Do your mate
And don’t make it between you and I its not
Try the deleting the troll.

I should back horses called Still Running as mine are usually still running long after the rest have finished.
the higher the Brexit vote the greater the chances of no deal outcome, which would mean an immediate United Ireland without the need for a border poll, but nobody spoke about this on the MSM so Timmy didn’t get the memo, sing all their lifes about “Setting Ireland Free” and miss an open goal that Brexit provided

OMG – such unadulterated crap

Agree re squad etc for Ross Co league cup game.
For me it is 4 games in 10 days and 3 in 7 days Inc Champions League and Derby game on top of a knock out cup midweek trip which is tough.
Squad is important as we have no room for error.
A strong start in first 4 league games would help ease the pressure.
Well done to the woman who represents Liverpool Pensioners Association for telling the truth to Tory Starmer, who wouldn’t dare address a public meeting in Liverpool like Jeremy Corbyn. He is despised there with good reason.

One time I picked a winner. 1st time.
Respect to those that invest Time into garnering winners.
Not that I do that Terry Waite @ Over goals fitba wise.
I see the new rangers superstar winger may have a hammy injury already and seems set to miss the glamour trip to Livi and the Union Gilloise tie.

Despised ???!!!??? — is that really the language you have for someone like KS?
Incredible that those who try to to offer an alternative to the current shambles of the BoJo inspired Tory party with their rich friends in the media are to be vilified more than the AR fanatics / neo libs / total chancers / billionaires bag carriers / rampant hypocrites / troughers in the Tory party?
Why does the far left hate the left more than they hate the Tories?
Who’s work are they doing and why do so many alleged progressives cheer every insult?
Has the pensioner burd ever stood for election?
And if she has what was the outcome?
She is a just a rouser looking for a rabble.
File under Tory useful idiot.
Burnley78,
It is the unknown of this upcoming Season that is fascinating.
We could take doings in the CL, we could surprise the World.
Magical.
MadMitch
Have you ever voted Tory?
I have, tactically.
Re the Liverpool pensioner woman ‘set up’ yesterday
My only questions are
what was she trying to achieve with the planned outburst ?
Eg
does she really simply want a further generation of Tory leadership as her actions suggest ?
was it just for her Andy Warhol moment ?
Not really a huge fan of Starmer myself. Nor am I a fan of the Sun but really not sure exactly what this person was trying to do if she genuinely is not a Tory.
To have anything other than a Tory government the opposition surely has to be electable by a majority…… or am I missing something ?
B78 @ 11.09
I think you are over egging the pudding.
We will be facing two games a week over that period.
Similar to where we have been at in previous seasons.
Putting our game with the TFOD2.1 so close to a CL game hurts them as much as us.
The usual low rent rat “fec**ng” tactics for the SLC games is just what we have to put up with from the SFA / SPL fixtures “computer” on a regular basis.
All we can do is publicise our bad luck and the incredible odds we seem to have to deal with to make sure it doesn’t happen again — ridicule is a useful weapon.
PC @ 11.25
Never voted Tory.
Never voted Tartan Tory.
Madmitch
What has that woman ever done? Try doing a bit of research. She successfully fought to get wrongly dismissed women reinstated in their jobs. Yes, I suppose that makes her a rabble rouser for SIR Keir Starmer.
You don’t like the word “despised” to describe what LP members on Merseyside think of Starmer? It’s the mildest word I could think of.
Starmer an alternative to the Tories? That’s a joke. He has no policies. He has ditched all of Corbyn’s policies, the ones he proclaimed in order to be elected Lab leader. He is as big a liar as Johnson. Prove me wrong: tell me what his policies are. Take your time, you’ll need it.

Another day,another carload of bullshit being dumped from a great height wrapped in Hun colors.
Jackass is astonished that Alfie is talking about renewing his contract.Really?No bids for him,no interest,so the Huns,in fear of losing him,for nothing offer him yet another pay rise.About the 5th.This astonishes the Record Moron.
Huns flexing their £ 49 million warchest !!!! Take a figure and treble it. The signing of Yilmaz,sought after all over Europe !!!.Really?I asked a Besiktas supporting mate about him,he said yes,good player,but we won’t miss him.Who did they fight off,from all over Europe for him?
Problem is,many of our fans getting taken in by this.
The loss of their two best players,now lost in a mountain of the aforementioned bullshit.
B78 @ 11.26
For too many on the Left — opposition is where they want to be.
No responsibilities as they can always shout from the sidelines about purity without having to deliver a workable policy. The want perfection / utopia and howl down the great and the good if it deviates from their one true path.
And you have those on the left with an RCP outlook — getting their rocks off shouting betrayal at those standing next to them rather than taking the debate forward to a more progressive conclusion.
Tories’ useful idiots — one of many angles they play to keep in power even tough they are hopeless and greedy in equal measure. The “they are all as bad as each other” is another one of their favourites to keep the easily discouraged away from the voting booths.

None of us are getting Pitt, like you, I dislike what is going down in Scotland.
I know that I know nothing and that is comforting – disnae make my Son’s life better.
We defo need to get mair Bhoys coming through our system as its stagnated lately.
79 caps,
Wasting your time debating with any Unionist supporting poster.Englandshire were quite happy with Boris,in fact delighted,they will be the same with the loathsome Truss.Spineless Starmer will carry on as before.
This is what the once great Labour Party has become.

Of course it represents nothing
It is a marketing exercise
Like after Thatcher and John
We got “My favourite” as Margaret called the marketed
Nooo nooo noo Labour.
Each noo denotes all similarities to the Tory policies they will not alter.
Burnley78
You asked,forgetfulness what has this last 10 years got to do with the lying marketing party?
Capital works long term b78.
Not one bit of NHS privatisation was stopped in 1997
It carried on relentlessly as it has done since the market was opened in the NHS in 1980
No restrictions put on private capital coming into NHS,that means private profit going out.
Labour stayed within tory confines.
And ‘marketized’ the nhs- nooo Labour’s deskriptshun
But
It continues to this day to be privatised.

What elections has she fought?
What elections has she won?
Unfair dismissal is a low bar if that has been her life’s work.
She is just a low rent attention seeker to me .
On the lookout for a rabble to rouse.
What would be the JC policies that KS has given up on?
From the 2019 manifesto JC had far too many.
So many that he could not even remember them.
Total shambles.
Hee, hee, looks like the Huns are stuck with fat Alf.
On the subject of Liz Truss,this to any of the more elderly among us.
Would you?Tell the truth.
:-).
Och, Footall Blog my ass.

TB, lets be honest, at that level they are all bought and paid for.
Billionaires you mention
Much more of them as the war criminals memory apologists will espouse.
All Free market policies adopted by Margaret’s favourite
Smile if the poor weak and needy are getting pumped by a so-called socialist

I’d say no……,. but could Motherwell overcome Sligo?
Madmitch
The policies he has ditched? The election pledges he made when standing for Lab leader. He has broken every one of those pledges. Don’t you follow the news?
You say he’s an alternative to the Tories. So tell me what his policies are (without resorting to insults).
PeteC
I am not retreating from abuse friend.
You do not let that go
I had posts deleted requesting removal
The abuse from the anonymous blog troll is there
Keep well friend
Starmer is despised because he is despicable.
He is continuing with the Blairite campaign to destroy the Labour Party.
He lied to get the leadership. He has reneged on just about everything he said he’d do.
The sooner he is gone the better.
I expect Motherwell to win Pete, but standard of League of Ireland is better than most outsiders think.
Think Sligo are 5/2 & Motherwell 2 to 1 on,
Thank you Ernie.i agree
Cancer can only be cut from the inside.
