Inverurie Locos V Aberdeen

[ollie1903]

This is what I mean, Brown will have learned far more from the Moenchengladbach game than he will have done tonight.

Do you think Scotty B, Kenny Coull and the Loco's players think the result means nothing?

[King Street Loon]

Means fook all.

 

It's about getting match fitness up and CB learning about his players.

[paddy]

Does this appease the 9-0 against celtic?

[minijc]

No point in getting too down with defeats and no point in getting too high on the wins, especially in friendly matches.

Not until we beat Celtic by a similar scoreline IMO (winning a cup would be a good alternative though)

could not agree more mini

It meant feck all when we lost 5-2 to BMG, it means feck all to win 11-1 against a pub team, and it'll mean feck all when we get chinned by the Spanish.

 

Day 1 of the 2011-12 season is when we begin to find out if Craig and Archie can turn sh*te into gold.

[Mouse]

11-1! WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE!!!11!

This is pretty much spot on.

 

Other than the importance of building confidence and learning a bit about each other there's nothing much to really read into these results.

[ollie1903]

Why, do you think the Loco's manager told them to go out and make sure to win the game come hell or high water?

 

Fine to get a few goals, but I still think he'll have learned more against Moenchengladbach, a far better standard of opposition. If others disagree with that then fair play.

 

I don't think we'll ever agree on this one buddy.

I absolutely agree with you though. But the result, positive or negative, has a massive bearing on what he takes out of it.

Good performances all round tonight, particularly in the second half when the Locos began to tire. I have to say that Pawlett and Milsom both looked very good when they came on. They are very classy players. Additionally, Foster and Mawene were impressive throughout.

 

Only player I wasn't really impressed by was Jordan Brown, but he was played out of position on the right wing so I'm not going to read too much into it.

 

Foster also seemed to go off injured right at the end. However, he did walk off the pitch and down to the changing rooms without any assistance or treatment so hopefully it isn't anything that will hamper his pre-season preparations. McArdle was also absent for the second game in succession, is he injured again?

[ollie1903]

i dont give a flying f**k what they think

Constructive.

I'm sure they're gutted.

McArdle injured either his shoulder or collar bone at the end of last season.

[mavv1903]

wooohooo we are going to win the league

 

Seriously even against the like of the locos it's always good to get a good performance to boost confidence etc....

[The Boofon]

point is, we wont have learned much from it.

 

from our perspective, we dont give a f**k how some highland league team feels

 

they should expect a pummelling of that ilk

 

Correct. NOt often I agree with you.

 

Buckie Thistle would have beat us though. :thumbs:

[Robbie Winters]

What I noticed from last night was how the players were enjoying themselves and regardless of opposition they kept it going looking for goals and celebrated every one as if were scored in the SPL, well almost.

Liked the look of Mawene, a 100% improvement on Ifil no doubt. Pawlett looked sharp and Foster seemed more composed. Yes only part time Highland league but good entertainment none the less

[Stoney]

Hopefully this serves as a confidence booster to Paton, Mackie etc.

 

Did nicky low play last night?

Yeah it's on red web, says he run them ragged when he came on.

Rory Mcardle was in the terrace last night. I think he was with family but he walked past me wearing a god awful. What can only be described as, rainbow t-shirt!

[ollie1903]

Kenny Coull in the paper saying it was a good work out, but he hopes his players can lift their heads up after the RESULT

Still drawing positives despite an 11-1 defeat. No resignation tended after an 11-1 defeat. It will be forgotten as soon as they play their next competitive game...

[Crossbow]

Whilst Kelt is right - we need to do our talking in matches that matter, I'm quite certain that we'd be a bit peeved if we'd lost 11-1 and someone said that results don't matter. It was a good performance against lesser opposition who were effectively put to the sword. It is what we should expect - we won't have learned how to play against Bundesliga opposition in this match but we will play against "lesser" teams in the Cup. It will be a good confidence booster and it'll be something positive to remember when we kick off the season.

 

I'm delighted - but it doesn't mean we will win anything.

 

[K-9]

Good result and good to get some goals (even if 7 in last 18 minutes against tiring part timers) after Tuesday where most left wondering just where goals were going to come from this season.

[K-9]

shirley though, unless were going to play teams who tire out massively in the last 18 mins, then were still left wondering where the goals will come from?

Absolutely - but scoring 11 has to be good no matter who against.

Is it impossible for some of the grumpy f**kers on here ever to be happy and see any of the positives?

[vanderark14]

could, conversely, be a bad thing. inflated confidence because things they tried against plumbers and school teachers works, but you cant apply that to the SPL

 

 

 

im far from grumpy!

 

just think if you beat a team 11-1, theres NO point in playing the game

 

its nothing more than a run around to gain match sharpness, if they score a sh*t load of goals then fine.

 

you are reading too much in to it

Would there have been any point if it was 2-0?

It was a testimonial, thats the reason the game was being played. It's not as if they had us in the cup or a league game.

[Nespa]

good victory that can only bring confidence! hopefully take it on to the Villareal game and get a good performance so we are peaking for the Super J's next saturday

[Foster14]

well, no, itd have just highlighted HOW crap we were to only beat them 2-0!

 

Why the emphasis on how?

 

I also don't really get your point. To get to match fitness we need a good few games, but we can't have them all against a decent standard of opposition...
