  1. It was a straight red and according to BBC means he will miss semi final only. Only if it had been violent conduct would he have missed next league game.
  2. Not going as refuse to give these robbing cunts £28 for a restricted view ticket. Hopefully last night will not have taken to much out of players as we will have to be at top of our game for 90 minutes if we are to get anything from game. Any news on any of injured players being back? Oot Flat Civil Service Stollers v Forres Mechanics in Scottish Cup. Flat 2-0 Celtic as they always raise their game against us.
  3. Still no idea how we won that. Very few in Red were even close to having played well. Wilson looked good in flashes. There is a player in there if we can keep him fit and motivated. Joe was as solid as ever. Felt the defence was put under a lot of pressure due to midfield being completely unable to hold on to the ball. Some good penalties for Dons. Hibs will be regretting the number of chances they passed up tonight.
  4. Penalties. This has been brutal.
  5. Lewis Ferguson (knee) and Scott Wright (ankle) remain out along with long-term absentees Tommie Hoban (shoulder), Mark Reynolds (knee) and Greg Tansey (groin).
  6. Don’t like to change a winning team but I don’t think team we played on Saturday will work tonight. We will need to be able to hold onto the ball. Would be tempted to bring Gleeson in for Ball. As others have said he holds on to ball well and seems to be able to pick a pass where as Ball for all his effort can’t. If Ferguson is fit would go for the extra body in midfield and drop Cosgrove which would also help us retain possession. Hibs fans are right in saying we will probably try and shitfest our way to a 1-0 win. In Flat then 2 minute stroll to ground Away end Flat 2-0 Hibs

  9. Poor game important 3 points. Agree with Feb 1971 thought Logan was our best player with GMS and McGinn not far behind. I simply don’t get Cosgrove. Not a footballer in any shape or form. Wilson took his goal well but did little else of note. Hopefully more he comes more into things with more game time. We really do create very little though. Defence on the other hand looks rock solid.
  10. I think biggest problem with May is we do not play a system that suits his style of play. His best stuff at Saints came when he played as part of a front 2 with Steven MacLean. We have rarely played him up front with anyone beside him and definitely not long enough for a partnership to develop. He has never looked good in the lone striker role. He was never a back to the goal type of striker and that you could knock the ball upto but that is what we have asked him to do. That said I do think the injury at Preston has caused him to lose some of his pace which was also part of his game and thought at the time a 4 year deal was a major gamble to take on a player with his type of injury.
  11. Would like us to go 2 up top tomorrow as I don’t think any of our strikers look like they are capable of playing the lone striker role. Would go with May and Anderson as think they have looked most likely to score and work as a partnership. If Wilson is fit however I suspect we will go with him as the lone striker. Devlin being back should mean we are even tighter at back. Cannot see this being anything other than a tight physical battle like last few Motherwell games. In Stupidly early train then beers Y Beer then train back to capital. 1-1 GMS
  12. Don’t see how it’s out of date and article is written from biased point of view. Cannot see how taking it away will change much. At best all the will happen is the reverse of what the article claims happens now and teams will sit away from home and be happy with 0-0 there instead of home. Why do authorities feel the constant need to tinker with the game.
  13. Played and 139 times over 7 years with Feyenoord according to soccerbase plus 10 times on loan for Sparta Rotterdam. Suggests he is not that injury prone but no idea if it means he is any good.
  14. Another game where we rarely looked like scoring. Little creation and strikers who look like they have no idea where the goal is. Very disappointed with Forrester. Looks totally out of his depth. As others have said Gleeson seems to fade badly after 60 minutes. Shinnie was very poor today with possibly worst performance in a Dons shirt. Any news on what’s up with Ferguson.
  15. Limited cash gate for South Stand for Dons fans plus cash gate on West Stand also for Dons fans.
  16. Wilson initially had an ankle knock that made him miss the St Mirren game then a hamstring issue for last game which I am assuming is still reason he is out tomorrow. Could be excused if he had not has similar issues on his last loan spell at Sheffield United.
  17. Hoping we do not rush McKenna back and he only plays if he is fully fit. Last thing we need is him getting injured further as he is rushed back to soon. Need to find goals from somewhere and would be tempted to give Anderson a start alongside May. St Johnstone look a better team than the one we played in preseason so can see this being a difficult game. In Train then straight to ground as taking Bairn Away End Train back to capital 1-1 McGinn
  18. Decent performance tonight but still to many misplaced passes that a better team would have punished (see Friday night). In first half we seemed to always want one touch to many and passed when maybe should have shot. Better in second half and seemed more direct and got the goals. In the end unlucky not to win by more. They and Israel will be different propositions away from home but do think we are more than capable of winning the group.
  19. Team for tonight. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dmv9WWnWwAAWTWM?format=jpg Looks like 5-4-1 again.
  20. I thought Fraser was one of our better players along side Robertson and Tierney. Wrong game last night as Belgium were always likely to beat us even before we decided to gift them goals. Madness to play a team of their quality when we are trying out to play new players in an unfamiliar system. Think McLeish needs to accept he cannot shoe horn both Tierney and Robertson into a back 5 and we need to back to 4-5-1 even if that means dropping one of them.
  21. Team for tonight. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmgkyktX0AEAsr2?format=jpg 5-4-1 I think.
  22. Kearney was allegedly the runner up to Stubbs in the original interview process.
  23. Ferguson made his debut for Scotland U21s coming on as sub against Andorra last night. Almost got a debut goal as well.
  24. Killie on a fucking Sunday at 12:15 is impossible to reach from Aberdeen on public transport normally but there are engineering works on the rail line from Glasgow that day with a replacement bus so almost impossible from rest of country as well.
  25. With Devlin suspended and Reynolds and Hoban out with long term injuries it will mean we will be down to Ball and Considine as centre halfs against St if McKenna is not ready to return.
