  1. No he didn't. He was clearly not good enough to play in McInnes' system, he didn't cover the distance of Jack, Shinnie, McLean or even David Murray. That was blatant in his final season at Inverness. It was as ludicrous a signing as Main.
  2. Yes I do, it's very good. Quite an easy read, and interesting. Not much not to like!
  3. If you've accidentally purchased Born to Run by Christopher McDougall instead, then I can highly recommend it too. You won't look at yer shoes the same again.
  4. Watched it again, my apologies there is a steward, it's just that he appears to open the gate for them! To be fair, they appear to have spilled out from the corner area first (or at the same time), so maybe saw that and just let them go at it. It does look like it would be a fairly easy thing to prevent happening though, hopefully they'll get some warning. I disagree with Glass that it's pent up 18 months or some balls. That's the sort of shite you here from the British media when watching the Olympics, as if we're the only country (city in our case) to have experienced the pandemic. I think we were slightly out of order, but it's a fairly minor thing that shouldn't get blown out of proportion.
  5. It's extremely unlikely that a player would get covid from that situation, but it's not a great look either. It would have taken the presence of probably two stewards to prevent that from happening however, even one. You don't even need heavy handedness, just literally a person standing at the gate (with the gate closed) would be enough for the first couple of people to pause and the moment would be gone. Once the first couple run through the open passage, the rest follow. I've no problem with the dons being fined - they should be - but Livingston should have a series of recommendations on their desk this week to prevent it happening again.
  6. I don't, think he's had a good season so far and we'd really struggle to replace. His hoose is for sale though, so you never know.
  7. Very solid at the back in that half, Gallagher strolled it and McRorie looked very good as part of a three (think that's his position). Brown was excellent alongside McGeouch. McLennan won actual headers and shit and despite his customary sitter, Ojo had a good game. Decent result.
  8. He's been good. Ramsay off, thank christ, need him for the home leg.
  9. Ferguson off? Random.
  10. Jet phenomenal on the ball, some lovely touches and passes, but he can't track back or mark. They need to work round that or take him off. Ramsay started brilliantly, but the booking has hindered him and I think I'd take Gallagher on for him and McRorie into right back. McRorie poor for the first goal, but also Ramsay has to double up too to support him. Second was poor from Ramsay, had he not been on a booking he would have likely dealt with it. Considine could have done better.
  11. Poor start. Should be two or three up by now. Ramsay been terrible with his complete confidence on the ball and assist.
  12. His goals got them promoted so a decent return, I think they were right to hold onto him. I never really expected him to cut it in the top league, he always looked a bottom six player. Really well done to him though to get back on his feet after leaving the dons. A lesser man would have left the game. Hopefully he takes up the Belgians' offer and goes onto better things. I just see him as one of those in-between players who hasn't got the strength to be a target man or the pace to be a top level striker, but then I probably see that in Ramirez (and maybe even Rooney) too so it could be a case of being a better player when part of a better team.
  13. Hopefully Ojo drops out for Hedges with everything else the same. Gallagher for McRorie would be fine but possibly undeserved. 0-6, Jet with the last, Considine the first five.
  14. I think you have to undergo a rectal covid test and hand over all online passwords for entry into pubs in Aberdeen these days. I've been doing that anyway, just to be safe.
  15. No, I think it's Calvin Ramsay at just over £99M
  16. Well the BBC coverage has been fairly rank this time around. It's 80% filler, 20% highlights because Discovery bought the rights a while back. It's also very partisan too. It's not at the obscene level of the English football coverage, but it's not far off.
  17. Fuck sake, I actually looked it up when I saw the potential opponents too then proceeded to convince myself the opposite of what the internet told me.
  18. We actually could be in a similar situation to the last time we played them, especially if Hedges moves on. If we get an injury to Ramirez or Jet*, we're going to have zero options up front. That was exactly what happened last time and we dicked about on a striker and didn't win because of it. We need to get another striker on the books asap as neither Jet nor Ramirez on their own look like they'll be good enough to perform the solo striker role. *Rooney was out for the Limassol game
  19. Well he got 2 X 20 plus goal seasons and that should be Ramirez's aim. It was a good strikers goal yesterday, but he's not been convincing in his movement in the first few games, looks slow and not quite fit. That should hopefully come in the next few weeks (or even sooner). What was interesting was the lack of options when he went off. Jet was considerably worse when he moved onto their centre halves, and with nothing to aim at it did actually remind me of Cosgrove in there under McInnes. Ramirez kept defenders high and Jet came deep and sometimes wide to collect the ball. When he went off the ball just came back at us as it did for much of last season. It's not a workable solution and we need another option when Ramirez comes off.
  20. Limassol or qarabag it is. Probably the most winnable.
  21. North West England I believe.
  22. Pawlett had a gold medal contender today like, was magnificent.
  23. Just back, good solid performance. Good game management from McI... Glass for the last twenty! Fantastic play from Ramsay for the second goal and great movement from Ramirez. Jet looked good again and after a few shaky moments at the back, McRorie and Considine looked very good (to the extent I think Gallagher will have to wait a bit longer). I'd give Hayes man of the match though, his workrate and movement was really good as well as tracking back when required. Still not convinced that Ojo offers anything high right or left but he worked hard. Crying out for someone like Hedges coming on to offer a bit of pace against the fullback. McLennan wasn't great when he came on. McKenzie really good today too.
  24. It'll be an interesting one, looking forward to it. I'm not sure how our European performances will transpose domestically. Despite five goals in the opening fixture, we're a little light up front. McInnes understood the logic of scoring the first goal to return the most points. It'll be interesting to see if Glass' team can overcome that barrier, thus allowing us to play a bit more open. I've a feeling that we'll put McRorie at right back and Gallagher in the centre which would give us less threat than with Ramsay in my opinion. I'm going for 3-1 the dons, with Ferguson, Hedges and Jet getting the goals.
  25. Quadruplets.
