Hamilton v Aberdeen
By: TheNorthernLight | January 3rd, 2009Aberdeen travel to Hamilton for their first game of the New Year. The flu bug that is in danger of turning this game into a run-out for the U19’s has hit the squad hard, with Derek Young and Stuart Duff out with the sniffles. Lee Mair, Richard Foster and Gary McDonald also travel, but a source close to the club has said the bus will stop off at Tesco’s on the way to buy in some extra Lemsip and a tube of vitamin C tablets. Captain Scott Severin and defender Zander Diamond have also recovered.
The Dons will look to take revenge for that defeat earlier in the season when goals by David Graham and James McCarthy sank the Reds at Pittodrie. Since then, the Accies have gone on a major slide, and now sit proudly at the bottom of the table, though recent wins over Motherwell and Kilmarnock keep the pressure on the two teams above them in the league, Falkirk and Inverness Caley.
Look, Aberdeen will win this game. We’re on a good run at the moment and despite the selection problems, I can’t see us messing this one up. Aside from that defeat back in September, the last time Accies beat us, my Dad (who retired three years ago) had just turned 13. So, another three points coupled with Celtic stuffing the Arabs and Hearts pressing the ’self destruct’ button for the second week in a row in this afternoon’s Edinburgh derby would do just nicely as we enter the new year in fourth place.
‘Mon the REDS!!!!!
