It's near impossible to overturn a 4-5x budget deficit in a league season. I think we'll beat them at least once, and hopefully we can get them in the cup before they change manager again, but they'll sort themselves out and spend money in January if they're behind then (which I think is very unlikely, as we haven't been hugely convincing in the final third in most games). The Huns finishing below us is something I see as a longer term project. With the Tims continually expanding the gap between them and their other cheek, I think the Hun support will begin to dwindle and their financial situation suffer more and more. If we can get the budget gap to 2-3x, then we have a great chance in any individual season if they suffer from bad signings and injuries and we get a good season. We would have been there by now if the Tims, in my opinion, hadn't self sabotaged and let the Hun win to prevent the ten in a row. I believe that was a very significant milestone that would have tipped many a Hun over the edge and they'd have thrown in the towel. If the Tims win the next 2-3 titles then I could see the Hun support back down to its 80s levels again. Although, with European football constantly changing, I could see them being thrown a fig leaf of some spurious new European league or some pish that will save them (I'm not saying UEFA want to save the Huns, it'll be coincidental). I always think it's best to look at the points totals to get a good barometer of where we are. The Huns finished on 85 last season, with 7 losses. I don't see them finishing any worse than that this season. Realistically, to get second, you're going to need 85-90. I don't think the current Dons' squad is capable of that. 70 would be an excellent achievement in my opinion. No other club has got more than 76 points we got in 16/17, and I don't see our team doing that this season either. I don't see it as a bad thing. We need to build over a few years.

You are arguing my point. Second in Glasgow is second in Scotland unfortunately. Will take an awful lot for us or anyone to change that.

I was in the paddock at the side and had a really good view of the stand. It was obvious this would happen if there was a late winner as the stand was rammed and if you look at the footage and watch the crowd people are getting shoved onto the pitch before the ball has even hit the back of the net. For those at the front there was nowhere else to go but forward such was the scale of the bounce. People then got carried away and started going onto the pitch to celebrate which is a bit cringe given its only county away. That said it was still a big goal for us and that game was INTENSE all the way through. It really was some bounce when we scored, you can't beat a last minute winner.

Delighted for Nisbet getting the winner and he spoke so well after the game and what an awesome penalty save, that was a tremendous 3 points

I was surprised at is age when I looked him up. Seems to have played most of his career in English non leagues. Other County player who I liked the look of was Ronan Hale. Worked our back line and was unlucky with goal that was chopped off and not much wrong with penalty that Mitov saved. Another worth keeping an eye on.

I suspect that he wouldn't be difficult to spot.

So has Naismith - he was extended to 2026 4 weeks ago, Clement to 2028 3 weeks ago. Pricey either way.

The boy Akil Wright seems a right good player for them, very good defensively. Was surprised to learn he's 28 and had a bit of a journeyman career. Maybe a late bloomer. Certainly one to keep an eye on though.

He said his favourite, not the best. If you're under the age of fifty, those two probably aren't going to be on your list.

Even had that game finished 0-0 I would thought it was still a positive afternoon for us, when you consider we're supposed to be a team in transition. We faced a tough challenge and did well. Defensively look good, Nilsen and Shinnie may very well turn out to be my favourite ever midfield pairing, Keskinen was really good, Vinnie was also good off the bench. Devlin excellent even with conceding penalty and agree Mitov is a real coup for us. To win it in the 98th minute is a bonus.

Taking Keskinen off defo had some confused looks in the stands but I have to say Morris was effective when he came on. I think the took on the fb 3 times, beat him 3 times and got a decent balls in 3 times. Just watched the goal back there, the assist from him was much better than I realised at the time. It would have been easy to lob it in the box but he's shown really good instinct to keep it on the deck and find the players in space. And it was instinct too, if you watch closely he's not looked up from the moment he gets the ball. Lovely wee step over from Devlin as well. Chefs kiss the finish from Nisbet, he was fairly anonymous for the majority of the game but given how stodgy and thuggish county were there wasn't much in the way of service coming his way. It really was a clinical strike too, right in the corner. Here's hoping he goes on a run but it's brilliant he's off the mark early and even more so with a last minute winner. Let's not forget Mitov though. Tell you what I can understand why the farmers were gutted to lose him. What an unbelievably shrewd bit of business he has been and this win was earned by him as much as Nisbet. The penalty award was such a sickener and I didn't really see what happened due to the distance and sun. It was such a brilliant feeling when he saved it though and now having rewatched it ....... That's probably the best penalty save I've seen from a dons keeper since Theo's in the 90 Cup final. There was nothing wrong with the penalty and most goalies wouldn't get close to that even if they guessed the right way. It genuinely might be worth giving him a pay rise and extending his deal already because I would not be at all surprised if bigger fish weren't sniffing about him soon. On a personal note I really enjoyed being part of the crowd again and the away support was excellent all game.
