Partick v Aberdeen

[BigAl]

Wait a minute mate, no one has written him off. I said I was far from convinced from what I saw, Manc just said what hun mates had said and Maverick also said he hadn't seen enough to judge. It's initial thoughts, that's all.

 

And regarding the ball in for Hayes; I made this point to my mates yesterday. If you remember, he had beaten his man. Stopped the ball. Stepped back. Looked up. Stepped forward and crossed it. Great cross, you're right. That was right after half time. I am willing to bet he had had a bollocking for not looking up before crossing, and was worried about getting hooked, and made sure of his delivery. And that's fine, but he is a winger and should be expected to be able to cross the ball on the run after having had a look at the penalty area. I hope my initial fears are wide of the mark, but I am a bit worried about him.

 

Hear what you're saying Bobby (and others) and you know what I don't actually think we're all a million miles apart in our thoughts. I agree he was far from our best player yesterday, but some of the comments (not on here in fairness) have been OTT in their damnation of him. I'm merely highlighting he hasn't exactly had a massive amount of game time in the past eighteen months. Regarding the opinion of Huns on Wylde i'll take with a pinch of salt, considering I never heard any of my Hun mates complaining about him whilst he was at the now defunct club, but suddenly in their eyes he was apparently always lacking a final ball and a weak link.

Time will tell, but the one thing I'm sure we'll all agree upon is that we hope he turns out to be huge success for us, and in McInnes I trust 

Stand Free

Afternoon tea at Greywalls, near Muirfield in Gullane with a game of croquet thrown in 

I reckon the lads will step up and score some goals today 

 

Right I was spot on and my afternoon tea was delish

I'm sure, back in the day, huns would have been dismissive of Jim Forrest and Alex Willoghby! 

 

 

 

Although probably not quite in such a nasty manner

Where the fuck have you been?

 

Swanning in here at all hours!

 

Sorry - bigger boys made me do it.

 

For what it's worth, I thought that overall the Dons were pretty poor on Saturday, delighted however that we can play poorly and still be clinical enough to get a 3-0 win.

 

No idea what was up with Partick though, that's the worst I've seen them play since they were last in the SPL.

Disagree, thought we played reasonably well but could be the large amounts of drink beforehand that might be distorting my mind! Had absolutely no danger from Partick and apart from the one good save from Langfield, can't really think of anything else he had to do. Was delighted to see Cammy Smith start and thought he played quite well (I think there are fears regarding his attitude from within at Pittodrie). Pawlett is finally looking like the player he did when he burst onto the scene and is such a danger when he plays as he has been. Zola looked like he is getting somewhere near to some sort of fitness after having double sessions during the international break, looked a handful and was delighted to see him score.

 

Overall, I couldn't fault anyone. All played well in particular the defence looked solid. Great to see Consi back and a perfect game to come back into the fold.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the highlights yesterday and it was good to see Langfield having a go at his defence for letting the few shots come through.

I'm maybe being a bit harsh, it wasn't the best i'd seen us play on Saturday, but I was more than happy to accept performances like that now and then if they're accompanied by such a convincing scoreline.
