The All New Unworthy Of It's Own Thread AFC General STUFF Thread
Ajja replied to BigAl's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Wasn’t sure if this was WC or Dons chat, will spare you the Venn diagram I used to work it out. Moneys paid for player’s involvement in WC. Covers last 4 years of qualification as well as tournament including NL -
Brazil full back Wesley could miss the tournament.

The point of a strategy is it isn’t set in stone. It outlines the vision and targets so everyone can understand what you’re trying to achieve and their part in it - but it also is intended to be revised and amended as time goes along. Now our strategy was clearly massively flawed, but it appears that’s been recognised and they’ve changed course - so credit for that. Hearts have signed 2 lower league CH’s from down south, and paid over a million for one of them allegedly, so clearly Jamestown doesn’t have an issue looking there. Every signings a gamble, especially with us, but it will be interesting to compare our new CH’s and how they get on with the Diets new guys. One thing for sure, on paper they are definitely more suited to this league than any of the recent CH signings have been…

I saw a bit of Moon & Me on CBeebies. Whoever came up with that show was smoking something very strong.
-
Derek Jacobi is of course the magic ingredient.

Can’t believe you left out the Pontipines and the Wottingers running about their gardens.

Adams has never been a prolific goalscorer, and isn't in the team for that purpose. Same as Kenny Miller wasn't. He's there because he's an athlete that works tirelessly and stretches teams with his running in behind and into channels. Scotland haven't had a world class striker, who has both the work rate and the finishing, in decades, so it's always about compromise and identifying the qualities that will have the greatest overall effect for the team. We're only really now at the point where Shankland can make the claim that he's worth dropping one of our excellent midfielders for, that certainly hasn't been the case in the past. He's a lot more complete a player now, and his work rate is very good. Even then, his attributes will likely be nullified by Morocco and Brazil, which will be games for Adams and Dykes. A good example of this would be Adam Rooney, who scored for fun against 90% of the league, but was largely a waste of a shirt against the Tims and in Europe because he wouldn't get the service and didn't have the pace to make the opportunities on his own, or the strength to hold it up against better defenders. It's why Cosgrove was generally better against the Tims than Rooney despite being not nearly the goalscorer - because of his other attributes. There's a pragmatism to playing Adams, and he rarely lets us down in what he's being asked to do.

A poor man's twirlywoos in my opinion.

In the Night Garden I understand it’s not aimed at me but fucking hell, the writer on that show has the easiest gig in showbiz Ninky Nonk/Pinky Ponk turns up, Upsy Daisy does a wee dance, Makka Pakka washes some stones, the Tombliboos put the wrong trousers on, Iggle Piggle is late for bed. Rinse & repeat for 200 episodes The tunes are banging though

We’re keeping it light this summer. Week in Wicklow in early July visiting friends and then a week in Brighton (Hove) house sitting. Gonna do Lake Como in September when it’s a tiny bit cooler.
-
I’m at an Irish wedding in Donegal on the Saturday night so will be stapling my eyes open by 2am in the hotel bar after a days boozing. I may miss the game
-
Adams international goals (answering my own question); Liechtenstein (3 goals) Faroe Islands (2 goals) Bolivia (2 goals) Armenia (1 goal) Austria (1 goal) Belarus (1 goal) Moldova (1 goal) Thought he had 12 so not sure where last one is. Edit: Denmark
-
I def think the paranoia behind heat and injuries kicked in that we didn’t overly push in the second half. Having seen gilmour miss, out avoiding injury was a big deal.
-
Pretty comfortable victory but Bolivia were in their flip-flops and down at sea- level which must have hampered them. Great pace on the right with Hickey and BGD gave us lots of options to open them up and two up top really worked. The lack of threat gave us the confidence to commit players forward and load up the penalty area in the first half. Doubt we’ll get much of that luxury on Sunday. Appreciate Adams got two goals but he tried to mess them both up with keeper getting hands to the first despite it being a slot in from 7 yards and his first effort wasn’t great through bodies for the second, he got lucky with the rebound. I’m still not convinced by him despite the work rate. Has he scored against a team inside the top 75 yet? Overall, good prep but drop off in second half was disappointing. Would have been nice to really drive it home but suppose the heat demanded we take it steady.
-
Yeah. Highly doubt he’ll see relevant minutes in the world cup, looked a lot more like the inexperienced player he is today. Miller should be there instead. we do have McLean Christie even tierney who can provide depth behind Ferguson and mctominnay, plus mcginn could play deeper too. i will add that I thought Robertson and Christie were excellent on the left today. I get that it’s relative to the opponent, but I’m not quite so demanding now to see Curtis start against Haiti. I think the two up top were good first half too, that I’d expect who we saw start today be close to our starting 11. Not sure how I’d fit in mcginn, and that may be the dilema, doak was sharp and involved in a lot of good play today too. Plus I think two up top needs to happen vs Haiti. Perhaps mcginn comes in for doak and starts vs Morocco? Def a tournament for the squad to be used. Maybe McKenna for Hanley? Not sure if hendry is right sided playing left today? I doubt we’ll see Robertson and tierney start together, especially given age and injury history and not having a third left back in the squad.

Aye heard good things about Narbonne. Will check it out.
-
Brazil v Egypt on ITVX just now. 1-1 after 20 minutes. Neither team covering themselves in glory defensively so far.
-
Have to say too, Fletcher looks nowhere near international standard. A very strange addition to the squad. Hopefully in a couple of years he'll have played proper fitba for someone.
-
Nobody? That was our last chance for Hirst to pick up a broken pelvis. Opportunity missed IMO. The US's atrocious public transport means a stray bus hitting him is unlikely.
-
I don't mind if it's worse than the 2014 League Cup Final, as long as nobody is injured.
-
Aye it's been turgid stuff
-
Thon roaster in the crowd a couple of minutes ago "Robbo sign my shirt". He doesn't even play for Liverpool any more.

What a shit fest this second half has been
