  1. Has there ever been a Player with similiar injuries who went on to have a decent career, Injury wise I mean? For me personally, we'd be mental to pass up on him if he does get back to fitness, I agree some sort of pay per play deal would be preferred but the guy was easily our best defender in the games he played, he brought something that no-one else did, or still does, in that he was absolutely composed, didn't panic and hoof the ball away and could pick a pass, he was comfortable with both feet as well. I thought he was excellent in his time here and really hope it works out for him.
  2. What is the situation with Tommie Hoban? The latest a few Months ago was that he could be on way back here and we offered to help him regarding his Injury, I can't remember when he sustained the Injury and how long he'd be out for because of it. He was released by Watford at the end of the 2018–19 season, and returned to Aberdeen to continue his rehabilitation. That's according to Wikipedia, but was it confirmed that he actually did come back here?
  3. Coached, pure and simple. I remember watching the warm up in the Burnley game, the TV folk were doing a feature on Cosgrove and as the Camera went to him, he happened to be speaking to McInnes, you could clealry make out that McInnes said " Any contact ( Whilst he was doing the backing up motion ) just go down " A lot of our goals involve set pieces, we work incredibly hard on them, at least that's what we're told every week. It annoys the fuck out of me as well, but imagine where would be without him, we'd be a St Mirren or a St Johnstone. What a fucking sad state of affairs.
  4. McInnes confirms that New York Red Bulls are interested in Cosgrove, whilst confirming that he's trying to do a deal with St Johnstone for Kennedy in this window, as there has been encouragement from them, they want Devlin as part of the deal apparantly. Mark Gallagher will join from Ross County's development squad next week.
  5. Seems like we're doing things right off the pitch, but, as has been the case for approaching 3 years, on the pitch is a different story. I don't really give a fuck how much of the ball we had, or how many chances we created, we needed a Penalty to get beyond the team sitting 6th in League 1. I get it though, we are in the next round, that's all that matters. Hopefully we get drawn against another League 1 team in the next round.
  6. Hi. Are you Pro or Anti McInnes? What's your fav colour? What's your fav food? Who is your fav Dons and non Dons player? Do you prefer Rangers or Celtic? Do you identify as the same sex you were at birth? Obviously taking the piss, I am bored and sat at the PC eating a Pot Noodle, just trying to entertain myself. Welcome aboard Piddler.
  7. Saw the latest Terminator last night, absolutely shite. As bad as the rest of them ( Barring 1 & 2 of course ) Jojo Rabbit or Motherless Brooklyn for tonight
  8. Which part? I was being completely sarcastic about the whole implementing new ideas.
  9. Looked like an utterly pointless exercise, in where we still managed to lose. Great to see some other ideas being implemented other than long aimless punts up to Cosgrove.
  10. https://www.rosscountyfootballclub.co.uk/squads/reserve-team/mark-gallagher/ Allegedly becoming an Aberdeen Player in the not too distant future.
  11. McGeouch signing today according to Keith Downie and Tom White. Dunne is a Loan according to Alan Nixon, but there are several clubs interested in him so far from done, but you'd have to imagine that if Burnley's interest in McKenna is legitimate, then they'll probably add Dunne's loan as part of any deal, if it happens this month though, it at least gives us until the end of the Season to replace McKenna long term, when Dunne goes back to Burnley. Hey, at least it's not Dorrans Would like O'Donnell on board as well to be fair.
  12. I have heard that it's Liam Lindsay. Regarding Dorrans, I'd be very surprised if there was any truth in it, but if there was, I'd much rather we just gave Gleeson a fair crack of the whip! And I'd probably plump for O'Donnell over Logan these days personally, Logan was easily one of the top RB's in the League for a few seasons, but his regression has been pretty concerning, he's error prone, positionally poor and persists with backing off and failing to close down ( Although, I have a feeling that's maybe being coached these days, as the majority of our Players seem to be doing it ) We shall see.
  13. Okay, so some news regarding possible incomings in January. You won't like this one bit Rumours, and of course that's all they are, circulating from Dundee, not any of us, but Dundee fans, and they're not happy, is that Graham Dorrans is coming here in January I'd imagine it's to ease the midfield shortage we seem to have, but I am not overly sure I belive it. I would also imagine that IF there was any truth in it, it would purely be until the end of the season. If this turns out to be true, I'd be pretty annoyed and disappointed. Second one is Stephen O'Donnell, apparently a pre-contract is almost over the line with him, a snag being that he's reluctant to move his Family to Aberdeen. This one is coming from a couple of our own, in particular one who is usually on the money. Wouldn't be too downhearted with that one, if true, I think he'd be a slight improvement on a regressing Logan. Also have Alan Nixon saying that Cosgrove and Mckenna could be away in January as there are a few clubs definitely interested in them, but comes down to what they offer and what we deem acceptable of course, he also said we are sniffing around a Centre Back, but didn't name him. Some food for thought heading into tonight
  14. If Cosgrove touched up one or two bits of his game as it stands, he'd easily cope with the Championship in England, he reminds of Jordan Rhodes, only not as good, just yet. He's got time on his side and perhaps a move with better facilities and better coaches would be beneficial for him, but obviously I hope he stays.
  15. Was about to post the news regarding Leigh & Bryson. What the fuck is happening with our Injuries, is it lazy recruitment, taking a risk on these prone players or is it a calculated risk worth taking? A fully fit Bryson would have been an excellent addition, as would a fully fit Gleeson! ( Last time I defend Gleeson ) But seriously, for fuck sake
  16. Apparantly Leeds United had someone in the stand watching Cosgrove on Saturday, and they are added to a list of suitors now, QPR, Derby & Middlesborough. I think we're going to see a McKenna type stand-off here, clubs will make an offer, but it'll be derisory, although I don't see Cogrove handing in a transgfer request. There is a strong possibility that we could lose the both of them next Month, if it does come to that, and McInnes is given some of the money back to replace them, he better get it fucking right.
  17. We were piss poor, we offered very little as usual going forward and they passed it around our defenders like it was a training match. Our goal was actually well worked, nice skill from McKenna and a good cross from McGinn, finished excellently from Cosgrove, who outjumped Ajer to bury that header, as you'll have seen from the Highlights, but back to your question, it was a poor performance, thought McKenna was the best of our defenders, Ojo at times looked class in Midfield, sadly though, whenever he recieved the ball and looked up, he found no forward options and it went backwards. Hamilton, in their recent 2-1 defeat at Parkhead, amassed 9 shots at goal, with 5 on target. We managed 2 the entire game, 1 on target, it's not really befitting of an Aberdeen team in my opinion, we're better than that.
  18. There was absolutely nothing reckless about his tackle, this is fucking insane. And whilst not an endorsement that I am right ( Even though I am ) Michael Stewart & Marvin Bartley just said on Sportscene that it was a perfectly fine tackle and never a Red Card. He makes minimal contact with Ajer, with his trailing leg that was tucked underneath him, it's not even a foul.
  19. And that cretin Scott Brown as well, ran about the same length as the Ref. Imagine how much the cunt would be lauded if it was him that made that tackle.
  20. He's a big physical Striker, he puts himself about and rightly so, he is up against 2 big Centre Backs every week, he's kicked, elbowed, pushed and pulled for 90 minutes, he gives it back, good for him and so he should. He has 20 golas to show for it this season, wonder where we'd be without him. That tackle, he clearly saw an opportunity to keep Celtic in their own half, which is what the outcome should have been, a lift to his team mates and Celtic taking a throw in near their own box, I genunely struggle to see and understand why some people have a problem with this, granted it's a minority, but still doesn't make it easier to understand. Regarding this, you're mixing Cosgrove up with Lewis Ferguson.
  21. So have I, and many say it wasn't deserved, and if our Manager is to be believed, Lennon said it was never a red and we've been harshly treated as well. He won the ball, he doesn't even touch Ajer for fuck sake, it's absolutey mental that our own fans are slating the cunt, he shows a bit of dig and fight, something we lack terribly and he's taking stick from our own. I appreciate it's all about opinions, but this is bonkers, it's not even a foul, if he makes contact with Ajer, with the leading leg, then it's absolutely a sending off, but he clearly and cleanly wins the ball, the ball is there to be won, and he wins it.
  22. He was closing the ball down, trying to keep Celtic pinned in their own half via a throw in I'd imagine, which is the outcome he should have had, not a ridiculous Red Card. I'm certainly glad he made the tackle, a bit of fucking oomph, something we lack, sadly.
  23. Match Stats Celtic Shots - 28 Celtic Shots On Target -11 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Aberdeen Shots - 2 Aberdeen Shots On Target - 1 That's pretty disgraceful. We were fortunate to go in at HT 1-1, a combination of poor finishing/decent Goalkeeping kept us in it, then when we were brave enough to get forward, we caused a problem and scored a goal. Yet again we showed them far too much respect and yet again, leave empty handed. Other than some nice 1-2 passing at times, in and around our box, they looked a bit clueless and, unsurprisingly, allowing that diving prick Ajer to waltz unchallenged into our half resulted in their 2nd Goal. On to the Red Card, bottom line is, it shouldn't have been a Red card, a perfectly fair tackle in where he cleanly wins the ball, his trailing shin may have caught Ajer, but it wasn't reckless and it certainly wasn't dangerous, the speed in which he was travelling made it look far worse than it was. We should be appealing it and it should absolutely be rescinded.
  24. Cheerio Gleeson, probably my biggest disappointment. Don't buy the Family reasons McInnes gave and suspect you'll see a Maynard type attack on the Manager from Gleeson, who will probably go to League 1/Mid Championship team and do absolutely fine.
