  1. I'd say Considine and Hayes are more professional than Brown, and McGinn always puts in a shift when called upon. Lewis has been very good since being dropped, but has always been professional (and generally very good). I have no issues with any of those guys, and I actually think that number of 27+ players is probably a requirement. Over and above that, you have McGeouch, Gallagher, Kennedy and Jet who are older and probably not good enough. I think I agree with you that the balance isn't there. However, Glass had no recruitment support in the summer, and I'd like to see what changes are made in January and probably the summer before passing too much judgement on that front. Regardless of Glass still being here, it'll be a test of the new recruitment guy and his overall strategy. I'd like to think he'd have vetoed guys like Jet and Gallagher (although Gallagher was signed before Bates, so hard to be too critical) in lieu of younger players with more potential. Let's not forget that McInnes was allowed free reign to sign guys like Kennedy and McGeouch in January windows where a recruitment specialist would likely have talked him out of it. Hopefully we'll have more out than in this window. I think McInnes would have been 9 points ahead of this Glass side at this stage, and the mythical "more entertaining" fitba is something that I'm certainly not seeing. I hope we stick with him beyond the summer and see how he gets on next season.

    Nice touch from Ramsay, paying tribute to him today.
  3. Good three points in the end. Very glad the winter break is here, we really need it. It must be amazing to have feet that are so far out of touch with your brain as McLennan does. Every kick is a surprise to him as he doesn't know what will happen, how hard he'll kick it, or in which direction. It's like a hundred little lotteries in every game, hoping that the defender will be more fooled than McLennan himself. Ferguson, Hedges both had good games and Hayes wins the most kicked player award. McGinn still offering more than the other subs.
  4. Nevermind. Just got it on. Great timing.
  5. Are you able to stream the game?
  6. Oh well, as long as it isn't just me. Dundee fans attacking the server in protest.
  7. Anyone else struggling to access red TV? Can't even get to the login screen. Server issue or some pish.
  8. Decent line up, I think Campbell deserved a start ahead of Ojo.
  9. Fuck sake Jute.
  10. Hope they get a couple of injuries so they have to bring on one of their sub goalies outfield.
  11. Dundee riddled with COVID. Should make for a good game!
  12. Aye, he's following the Jim Hamilton trail. Be at pittodrie in a year or so.
  13. Porteous charged with nut kicking. 50-50 for me, don't think he was aiming for the nuts. A yellow would have done.
  14. They must be waiting until Christmas day to tell me I'm in. Typical AFC, always thinking of the top reds.
  15. I expect to be one of the lucky 500, so looking forward to it. Love a boxing day game. Especially when you can comfortably lounge across three seats. Think Glass probably got the subs wrong against Hibs, but it does highlight the problem of that central position. I don't get what is so good about Ojo that he couldn't have made way for either Jet or Jenks. Instead we shoe horned him into a midfield role that he wasn't suited to. Campbell was decent alongside Ferguson and added a balance that was confused by the half time change, so I'd stick with him assuming Brown is still out. Jet or Jenks, not fussed. Ramsay in for Ojo.
  16. Ferguson was probably our best player. Dominated the midfield. Had zero in front of him and took it out on Ramsay after he fucked up, which was wanky as fuck. Not sure about subbing Campbell, Ojo should have made way for Jenks. Ramirez poor tonight, looked a little frightened after getting hoofed in the nuts by Porteous. Neither team created anything, and ten minutes of Gallagher thinking about his games console instead of playing fitba was the difference. It was a very good corner to be fair.
  17. Not a bad half. Easy to be critical of Hayes and Ojo, but with the formation they're always starting in front of the defender. Ramsay on though, for Jet. Would like to have seen Ojo make way too.
  18. Aye, as soon as Gogic came on. To be fair, there could be kids watching that footballing abomination.
  19. Glass confirmed that he's been allowed to sit out tonight so that he can attend a black lives matter march.
  20. Is it not just that Brown is out (replaced by Campbell)? Otherwise same team with Gallagher in for McRorie
  21. Reckon there'll be a decent turnout tonight. We always beat Hibs before a lockdown in my experience. In the ballot for boxing day and the Huns. Doubt they'll actually occur.

    Coronavirus

    I've had three doses of Pfizer, if it helps the discussion. If you're not discussing herd immunity then why not? If your government is putting arbitrary figures on when/when not to allow people to travel, then why on earth would you accept that without questioning those arbitrary figures? The lack of nuance and critical thinking in your argument is disturbing.

    Coronavirus

    What's your country at risk of? What's the required level of vaccination for herd immunity?

    Coronavirus

    "Anti vaccers" have not shut down borders, your government has. Last time I was in the hospital it was filled with selfish fat people who refused to lose weight and put massive strain on hospital staff (and the beds). Don't get me started on the bed-hogging poor, with all their ailments.
  25. He had to use someone for the joke. Ojo's in enough bother, so there weren't many left to choose from. Bates can take it.
