Linked with a German goalie called Marius Muller. Plays for Wolfsburg at the moment. With a name like Muller, he should be good at corners. Rumours abound that Mitov has asked to leave.

City AMJames Watt offers to buy back BrewdogBrewdog founder James Watt has launched a swoop to regain control of the craft beer firm he founded, only months after it was bought by a US rival. Is he going to call it “The Brewdog”?

A small, minor thing. Austria Vienna are also with Macron and revealed both their home and away shirts yesterday. Their badge is sewn on, but ours is stuck on which makes it look a little cheap (and, likely to peel off). Just wonder what the decision making behind that would be. Cheaper? (if is is the club are certainly not passing on those savings to the supporters going by the advertised prices).

They’ve fixed it now.

They seem to have really fucked up with the new kit manufacturer. Two letters from my sons name cannot be printed and on further checking there’s a number of letters they are saying they can’t currently print on the back of the shirt.

It reminds me a lot of the old Abtrust tops in the early 90s. It's fine. Won't be buying it, but won't be embarrassed at the Dons wearing it. Not being available until mid-August is going to cost the club a lot of sales though. Adidas must be having a wee chuckle to themselves.

It's not going to be available until mid-August.

Are we getting a third kit/top this season or is it just the home and away?

Pretty sure Robinson referred to last night's game as "extended" or "glorified" pre-season in his interview after Linfield. Maybe a slightly dangerous mindset but it sounds like that's exactly the type of runout that it was.

That's the one, but i'm spikkin aboot afore at, must've been early 60's till late 70's my auld man owned it.

Not sure the need of the pattern through the top. Take that from it, and keep the collar the same colour all around it and it's a decent top.

The Glenbervie Chip Bar. I remember it well. I lived in Glenbervie Road from 85-93. He used to sell half portions of chips, which was nearer a full portion size. Must be nearing 40 years since it closed and was replaced by the Chinese takeaway.

My Da used te ain e chipper next door te Aitkens e baker back in e day, didna dee my waistline ony good. I believe that the baker in Truffeloes is ex Aitkens, and, if ye're nae doon ere early in e mornin ye've nae chunce o gettin rowies.

Looks like the leaked photo with the weird collar was correct: Not sure the pattern has any resemblance to the Bon Accord leopards as claimed.

Job done without too much drama. Saturday will be / should be a bit more of a challenge but I expect much of the same and a similar outcome (maybe even a goal or two more)

We had three center forwards on the field, no space as a result, and limited width to create for them. Clearly nisbet was left on to get a hat trick, olusanya should have been wider, and Mouloua given minutes to help gain fitness/connect with the team. Game was over by then anyway.

“Tadgers”, I think.

Ah'm Ah right in thinkin' they used tae be referred tae as the 'Tangerine Terrors'? 😄😄😄😄

It wisna a great game, the condition o' the pitch had a part in that, but there were some mildly encouragin' signs. For starters, less playin' oot fae the back. Generally, oor play was mair direct than usual. Some decent balls intae the opposition box by a handful o' oor players ... a couple o' bonny incisive passes through their defence which on anither day would hae borne fruit, and some decent crosses by Yogane and Smith. Smith in particular put in a couple o' crackin corners. Yogane, when he gets beyond his defender has a damn good left foot for delivering crosses ... never swipes or panics ... very controlled. Would have liked tae hae seen him cut doon the wing tae the bye-line mair often earlier in the game, but very effective overall. Centre backs looked solid ... Happe's height looks like an asset at set pieces. Wing backs? .. well Lobban was a bit quiet, but Guiness-Walker was pretty handy at times..... improve his understandin'/link up wi' Yogane, and a lot mair will happen! Nisbet did what was asked o' him ... canna say fairer than that. Aremu lived up tae his initial hype in that he can put in a robust physical challenge without concedin' fouls. and did his share o' moppin' up stray balls. Brad Lyons impressed, particularly wi' his uncanny knack o' findin' himsel in good positions tae have a shot at goal - unlucky today, but he'll def score goals for us. Ronan looked pretty useful also - some good link up play. Mitov? ... he could hae turned up wi his sleepin bag and his favourite teddy .... which says somethin' aboot the effectiveness o' oor defence. So, nithin earth-shatterin' .... considerin' the level o' opposition, but a good base line tae work on.

Team looked like they were still in preseason to be honest. Other than about 10 mins in the second half Brora didn’t trouble the penalty area at all. That lack of danger in this and Linfield game meant Aremu was comfortable holding the midfield alone giving Lyons and Ronan license to press higher. Lyons in particular got into dangerous areas consistently and could have had 3 or 4 in the first half. Similar to Linfield, the defence weren’t troubled but strolled it. Didn’t get much from Smith but the pitch was dreadful, grass was long and surface was bumpy so no ability to move the ball quickly. Yogane is a funny player, looks cumbersome and lethargic when he picks up the ball then accelerates like a tractor but once he gets going he glides past players. He saw much more of it than Smith and looked a real threat. At one point we had Nisbet, Olusanya and Mouloa on against a tired out Brora and we didn’t create much which was a worry. Game was probably done by then though. Routine win and on to slightly more challenging game Saturday.

Not long in from the game. Thought we were decent in the first half but average in the second. Was very glad when the second went in as it took the wind right out of Brora's sails. Take the three points and move on with more minutes in the legs was the order of the day and it was delivered. No stand out performances but lyons is a tidier footballer than I expected.

I’ll just nip over to their pish-stinking Footymad site and see the images of the dummies spat out on to the Endies’ terracing. Fucking losers. 🤣

Sounds a bit like the Linfield game, we created and missed a bunch of chances. What’s good though is we really struggled to create chances last year. Lower level opponents obviously but a positive step. We have to remember, it’s mid July. Hard to be sharp at this time of year. We’ll only get better with these games and competitive prep for the league season. Nice to see our captain lead by example with a couple of goals. I’m not a huge nisbet fan but happy for him to be captain, last season he seemed to give a shit and appears to be enjoying playing for us. Any more feedback on the new boys, smith in particular? Sounds like lyons has had a decent start to his dons career, yogane, and Ronan too. Hard to judge happe and mayo given limited opponents, but I haven’t hard negatives of them….yet?!
