Danny Swanson sent off against Hivs

Probably my own favourite bit of the interview.

I think it's a little unfair to say we're playing Hartley as there are no alternatives. He is a good player and a seemingly positive influence directly and indirectly in matches. As you say BB he probably isn't going to be stellar every game, few players are but he may well be incapable of exerting the same direct influence every game but the indirect influence makes him virtually indispensable. I was not a fan at all prior to his arrival but am thoroughly impressed by him, his attitude and his captaincy and am very pleased he's at AFC.

Gutted!

we get the team we deserve right enough!

On a related note, 2 up the Arse!

The Zero "thing" was something you mentioned MT, not a very good comparison.

You think that. I'm guessing more folk don't, whilst accepting he isn't the player he once was.

No it isn't.

Fine, you're right, he's pish. Bin him.

Arsenal make a load of changes after beating Chelski and boom, 1 down to the Wigganers!

DP's FTW!

You have already answered that in your original post mate. Zero did none of that and to say Hartley is past it is ridiculous too, he is not the player of old, otherwise some other cunt would have him but he has an influence, both directly and indirectly. Did you watch the Hibs game? You do know who the highest scorers at the club are too don't you?

Yes. Next question?

I know, Consi was out there apparently. I find it thoroughly refreshing to see pretty clearly the thinking behind the team and the sense it makes, even if I don't necessarily agree with it.

It's a porno at Easter Road, Goodwillie double!

Gavin Skelton. Never liked that cunt either mate.

McGhee played Jack there, desperate stuff, McNamee clearly isn't ready in Broon's opinion, Vuja is a better left sided CH and thus less of a liability than Consi and McArdle in the centre of defence. Broon said before the game he wanted experience throughout the team hence why the younger players were not considered, no saying he's right but that's the reasoning. Commentary consistently said that the physical strength the Aberdeen players had was giving them an advantage so perhaps there was more than just experience in Broon's thinking and just sheer physical attributes. He brought the younger ones on later to good effect.

Probably, history of 1-1 in this one though Hibs genuinely have no chance.

Booth, Richard Gordon and Derek Ferguson said we looked vastly improved and organised. Folly was positioned on the right hand side, no surprise he didn't impress. Hartley was excellent against Hibs but the commentary suggested he had a more withdrawn and defensive role today, I wasn't overly keen on the line in midfield today given Folly wide and Young and Hartley in the middle, distinct lack of pace which probably compounded how deep Hartley was. Consi isn't a left back either but Brown can onlypish wi the cock he's cock right now. You're right we aren't very good, the league tells it's story, but there's clearly been an improvement and I do not thnk we "got out of jail", a little over dramatic for a game which sounded like no-one was going to win it.

Thanks for that. I'm certain that will be uppermost in the thoughts of the SPL chairmen.

and ours.

Tend to agree Al, he'll do for me! A striker that scores goals? Yes.
