League Cup - blue toon vs dandies OG thread for Rico

[manc_don]

Feels bizarre that the season is so close to starting. Not really a fan of domestic football starting so early but hopefully the club have learnt from that. On the flip side, good to get some competitive football under our belts before the season starts proper.
 

very interested to see how we line up formation wise, there are a few options and potential head aches. Still surprised to see one or two faces around the club, be better to get rid sooner rather than later so we don’t get used to having them, if they are indeed leaving. 
 

bring on the new season ️

So ramadani’s passport is through but still waiting on miovski. Ramadani won’t be available for this one either, as he’ll only be training with the squad come Monday.

Whilst posting is quiet in comparison to The Hat, the welcome difference here is the quality of poster we have.

You won't find any of the 24 carot gold zoomers on here and we are a friendly bunch that know how to disagree on matters without resorting to petty name calling.

We specialise in quality over quantity

I tottaly agree, like I said the other day I closed my acc on the hat as it has some real nasty bastards on it! From wishing Lewis ferguson would die to making jokes about Zerouali"s death!

Real scum on there but it does have a few ok posters. But massively out weighed by the putrid ones.

Surely should be winning this one by a few given Peterhead’s troubles in getting players on board. They only got a keeper signed yesterday. Even without some of the new players we should have enough to win this comfortably.

What I was trying to say was that on the day of the match, there was only one available match thread. Shocking. I expected at least four given the importance of the game.

Is it on the telly?

Hayes at left back, or Hancock?

Not sure what to make of Lewis being on the bench. This Roos lad better be good.

Goodwin confirmed on Radio Scotland just now that Barron is back in training tomorrow.

On bein 2 in Australia. Ten minutes in and Stewart hasn't filled me with confidence.

Still don't look to have a style of play other than closing everything down and putting the ball in the corners.

Hancock off injured

Hayes to left back

Agree re Stewart in first ten minutes but since then his distribution and forward passing has been much improved.

McCrorie could comfortably have had a hat trick in first half.

Decision from Dickinson to disallow the one that did hit the net was very poor 

[Jute]

Crossing been very poor so far so not sure how effective the ball into the corners is going to be.

1.0

1-0 Ramirez penalty.

Great pen from Aberdeen legend, Ramirez.

Cemented his legend status with a great header 

[RicoS321]

Solid performance, with little to get excited or concerned about. New signings seemed solid with little to get excited or concerned about. Liked Duncan when he came on. Polvara looked not bad. Miovski better be a good goalscorer if Ramirez leaves. Wasn't overly impressed with Besuijen. Still think he lacks that little bit of pace to get away from a player. Kennedy did well for the pen but his crossing wasn't great otherwise. Difficult to read much into the game otherwise.

[OrlandoDon]

Solid ‘preseason’ game in that we got better as the game went on, scored a couple, and a shut out. Clearly lack creativity and imagination which is no surprise and understandably what the last signings will most likely be. Kennedy just isn’t good enough and vinnie needs competition for places as I haven’t seen anything to suggest he is mcginn or hayes in their prime and should n’t be a definite starter. I’d say the team from today had maybe 7-8 regular starters, still missing squad quality. 

[The D.O.C.1903]

Good 2nd half' wasn't the best of performances but it'll de and more to come.... on a side note the vast majority on the hat are disgusting the heinous things they say about our own players! Can't be real fans on that bin fire surely!
