I saw the under 20's defeat county 0-2 in the cup a few months back. I thought we looked alright but it was hard to really judge as the opposition made little attempt to try and win the game. Gibbons was a player that stood out a little, though ironically, that said, it was done so in a less than noticeable capacity. He didn't give the ball away, really understood his position in the team and was always available for a pass. I think he would need to bulk up a wee bit as he looked very slight but defo a player of promise I thought.

top 4 win today, piles the pressure on to keep up! BIG game tomorrow

I can't see us not moving now truth be told. As i understand it (and feel free to correct me if I am mistaken) the council is prepared to chip in to a new build and that with the dosh from the sale of pittodrie we move to a new ground without really spending anything. To redevelop pittodrie would only cost us money, and a fair old whack of it too. There is just no way the board will sanction putting us back into debt just as we finally remove that very sizeable shackle from the club, especially as there is such an appealing alternative.

This is a really good watch, we scored some cracking goals last season. I would love to see Mcginn getting his scoring boots on again, he's only scored once in the league and his goal input is greatly missed. Also kinda miss Vernon a little, Goodwillie is as yet to set the heather alight despite having more about him as a player. Vernon was always good for a goal.

I went on players I have seen Jess, Snelders, Shearer, Anderson, Grant, Booth, Mcginn, Stavrum, Zerouali, Richardson They could play a 1-1-2-3-3

Word on the street up here in the summer was that he wants to come to Aberdeen. We should offer to pay up his contract in January, they might take it

Not only investment but investment from a source that isn't looking to line their pockets. Fantastic news for the club

I went to stjames years ago, mate was studying down there and managed to get tickets for a eufa cup game against Ferencvarosi. Watching that reminded me of just how little space is around the ground, it's slap bang in the centre of the city. It must be a nightmare keeping home and away fans separate there, being match commander when sunderland come to town must be an utter head fuck

Completely agree, they have a record of being shit coming back from Europe as well. The only concern I have is guidetti was cup tied yesterday so likely didn't even travel. Our defence is going to be tested by him, i suspect, but ultimately the game will be won in midfield. Flood and jack play well we will win on Sunday. This is it, we have to have a no fear approach.

They're there for the taking end off!

Macleod in ahead of Jack is a fucking disgrace, end off.

It will get a lot more attention globally in comparison to the last time the of played simply because it has some rarity value now. Shot in the arm my arse though

Well when you say more trouble than its worth i was thinking you were meaning all the shit in the press, the atmosphere in glasgow build up to the game, happy or angry huns being generally hunnish afterwards etc. Can't really think of anything else that would make playing a very weak most hated team at a neutral venue in a cup semi not worth it TBH

It's got loads to do with it. I've lived in Glasgow and o/f propaganda is far more in your face down there.

We really just needed to sort out out defence and two clean sheets in a row is certainly encouraging from that point of view. The Tim's a week Sunday will be a very good indication of where we are.

In fairness I hadn't really considered the likely fallout from a game but, then, i don't live in the central belt. Reagardless though we are going to have to play them again sooner or later, may as well enjoy the opportunity to stick the boot in no?

The Huns are not going to make the final regardless of who they play. I REALLY want a pop at the cunts, we could give them a right shoeing! Like no lube, no reach around and then urinated on afterwards kinda shoeing.

So who wants to give their thoughts on how Brown played?

I want the huns

On a positive note I thought flood had an excellent game, his first this season imo. The 451 and 523 that McInnes employed though the game suited his play much more than 442.

Langfield dropped finally

It will be interesting to see if DM perseveres with Langfield, it's the first time under his reign that langfield has hit a bit of a string of goal conceding bad form. Brown came with a good reputation from Cheltenham and I think he deserves a few run outs. The truth is the whole defensive side to our game is unrecognisable from last season. Taylor is looking out of his depth to say the least so hopefully Anderson will return soon and give him some time out of the spotlight. There could be a player there yet but we're certainly not seeing it just now. Who was actually the last left back we signed? I was really gutted that this issue was not sorted during the transfer window and it's really killing us at times. Midfield wise robson has not been able to get as involved as he did last season, though I didn't think he was our worst performer on friday, and flood is consistently playing a little too far forward to be an effective ball winner. He's not got the attacking nous to be anything more than a hard working passenger if he's not doing that IMO. Jack and Low have looked good together but not really tested against more talented sides. Its all very well for having a royal flush frontline but if your defensive options are a pair of 2's then said frontline are going to not only be starved of service but constantly trying to pull back a deficit.

Utterly stinking Graeme

Wish the game was a 3pm sat ko. 12.45 on the telly sunday will not sell out
