Dundee - Dons - Friday -745PM

[Elgindon]

For the second time this year, AFC score 7 and I wasn't at either. Spewing. But a happy spewing.

 

Two things I take from it;

 

1. There is a ton of shite in the SPFL.

 

2. If we can perform like that, how are we so poor a lot of the times?

 

As a critic of McInnes - who I blame for the final debacle (and the next week at Ibrox for insane team selections) - I've got to hand it to him. It's not surprising that a man working professionally with the players day in, day out knows more than us fans.

 

Maybe Shinnie is best in midfield? I think he would be in the Scotland team if he'd been playing LB all season but as last night proved again, we need him there. Our midfield isn't good enough/strong enough/deep enough not to have him there.

 

Considine is finally showing the quality that we all knew was in him but that previous managers couldn't find. By playing him every week - most appearances this season? - he's been injected with the faith of his manager that allows belief and confidence to take root. I love that footballer.

 

Maybe sticking with Rooney who has clearly been off form these last two months is another management strength? His loyalty to McGinn when he was struggling a couple of years ago has also borne fruit, them playing their way out of it (eventually) knowing that the gaffer believed in them.

 

Where previous managers thought Clangfool was good enough - and even St Mirren know he's shite - McInnes has sourced Ward and Lewis, the two best keepers we have had this century.

 

This is just another symptom of the managers recruitment skills. He's introduced some excellent footballers to AFC over the years.

 

McInnes has made mistakes - all the best do - but he's learned from them and what I thought were mistakes, he's proved me wrong. Calderwood and McGhee were "professional" managers but they were shite. Brown was well past his sell by date and equally ineffective but McInnes, he's turning into the real deal. I salute him for rising above the pack of mediocrity in Scottish football and destroying shite that was begging to be destroyed, through consistent management and sticking to his guns, guns that are far more qualified than anybody else has.

 

Good post. Continuity I thinks a large part of it,and paying off,in having the same manager and bulk of the team.Hopefully there arent too many changes in summer.

  His caution was what annoyed me most him,but he seems to have changed direction a bit there,with the extra tempo and intensity/less standing off teams.Maybe because he has more confidence in the squad,but were getting more out of them as a result

SUperb win last night and a great hat trick from a very under rated player. Aye he is easy to pick on when we have a rough patch, but the guy never gives anything less than 100% and is a far better player than what most of our rivals have.

 

Have to say that the the lass sitting next to the huns manager was a bit of a stunner, was that his wife?  If so, no chance they will be around Govan for long. No chance a beauty like that will want to hang around that shit hole too long.

 

I just hope that Deek doesn't have a rush of blood to the head next SUnday and not let us play our game against the hun, it would be criminal if he did.

I may have misinterpreted this the first time i read it, how does she compare to Ash's missus?

If you watch the highlights you can see her when the camera cuts to her after we score our first. Ash has a stunning wife, but the new Hun manager certainly has a cracker too.

Watching the game back after I missed it on Friday. Fuck me were we good, but also. What a petulant piece of shit Alan muir is. Horrible grumpy hun bastard.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the first half with a Dundee supporting friend of mine.

 

For some reason we had to leave at half time 

 

Some outstanding attacking football, here's hoping we can carry that form into tomorrow and Sunday.

was saying on the chat that i was annoyed that i had left the room and missed the first goal, as i thought that would probably be sods law and the only goal of the game.

 

Happy to be proved wrong though
