Jute Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 Dons played their first pre season game today against Cohn Ramblers winning 1-0. Forrester with goal for Dons. Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 Started the match with Frank Ross, Lewis Ferguson & Scott Wright as the 3 behind Rooney & young Dean Campbell partnering Shinnie. Devlin started alongside McKenna and played 60 minutes I think? A win, a clean sheet & debuts for our new additions ( and a goal from one of them ) so all in all, happy days. Quote
manc_don Posted June 30, 2018 Report Posted June 30, 2018 A wins a win, especially with new boys starting. Anyone know how the new partnership looked? Quote

Jute Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Posted July 3, 2018 Going to head up tomorrow to see what new lads look like. Was hoping we would have more in by now but looks like we have missed out on a couple of targets recently so are playing catch up now. Falkirk should provide a decent test. Hopefully Arbroath have the steak and black pudding pies on the go. In Lift up then hopefully pint across the road from ground. Halfway line Lift down the road Hopefully a Dons win. Quote
Jute Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Posted July 4, 2018 For anyone going tonight the prices are as follows: Adults - £10 Conc - £5 Dons fans are in the Pleasureland end of the ground. 1930 kick off. Quote
Jute Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Posted July 4, 2018 From the new guys was impressed with Forrester who looks like he can play and he made some great passes. Gleeson was neat and tidy with the ball and rarely gave it away. Always making himself available to receive the ball. Lewis Ferguson also looked good. Made some decent runs and obviously scored. Of the games itself I know it was preseason but concern was we again created very little and outside the goal rarely troubled the Falkirk keeper. Not helped by having Cosgrove as the main striker. Cannot fault his work rate but he is not a footballer and rarely got himself into positions where he could hurt Falkirk. First time I have ever been to Arbroath and not come away with at least mild hypothermia. Quote

Jute Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Posted July 5, 2018 Never mind all that irrelevant pish, Jute. Did you get a pie? To big a queue when I got there so never bothered. Still regretting it now. Quote
Jute Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Posted July 8, 2018 3rd pre season game today in Perth. No new signings in this week is a bit disappointing. Always find it a bit odd that we play another team from our league in preseason. £15 in today is a bit steep for a friendly but it is a testimonial I suppose. In Lift up and pint in stadium bar if there in time. Away end Lift back to capital Hopefully another win with few more chances created than Wednesday Quote
Jute Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Posted July 8, 2018 Finished 2-2. May and Wright with goals for Dons. Quote
Jute Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Posted July 8, 2018 Decent enough performance, Jute? Some good individual performances from Wright and Ferguson but felt we looked ropey at back at times especially when St J came down our flanks. May took his goal well and looked better than he did on Wednesday. Game against Caley on Wednesday cancelled due to injuries picked up today. Quote
manc_don Posted July 8, 2018 Report Posted July 8, 2018 Some good individual performances but felt we looked ropey at back at times especially when St J came down our flanks. Game against Caley on Wednesday cancelled due to injuries picked up today. Bodes well... did Devlin play after picking up a knock last week? Good to see Scott Wright getting a game and a goal. Quote
Jute Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Posted July 8, 2018 Bodes well... did Devlin play after picking up a knock last week? Good to see Scott Wright getting a game and a goal. Devlin played most of game. Only subbed towards the end. Took a hefty challenge but seemed to be fine. Quote
redordead Posted July 8, 2018 Report Posted July 8, 2018 I thought wright was excellent today. Really hoping he gets his chance this season. Quote
manc_don Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 I thought wright was excellent today. Really hoping he gets his chance this season. Pleased to hear it. Was gutted last season didn’t turn out the way we thought it would for him. Hopefully he comes back stronger this season. Lord knows we need a bit more quality on the wings. Quote
A llad insane Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 Cant understand the logic of playing a bunch of hammerthrowers in a 'friendly' before the start of the season, result , a few players with injuries Gleesons in particular sounds worrying. Bad decision to play a big, physical team so early. Quote
Jute Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Posted July 11, 2018 Aberdeen U20 side drew 1-1 with Southend in Spain today. Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted July 15, 2018 Report Posted July 15, 2018 Match vs Cove abandoned due to a serious injury to Jordon Brown, hope the lad is alright. Quote
A llad insane Posted July 15, 2018 Report Posted July 15, 2018 Quite impressed with a couple of new recruits, Forrester very tidy on the ball & Ferguson got a real dig in him. Horrible end to match & big Andy was visibly distressed. Quote
Elgindon Posted July 15, 2018 Report Posted July 15, 2018 Logan and Forrester with a nice free kick Quote
